KLZ 560 AM DENVER'S CONSERVATIVE HOME STATION
Menu
On today’s Kim Monson Show, we take a deep dive into the community-led initiatives that are challenging government policies at both local and national levels. From exploring the implications of a massive wind power proposal in Cheyenne to understanding the grassroots efforts of parental advocacy networks, this episode is packed with in-depth discussions. Tune in to gain insights into how ordinary citizens can make an extraordinary impact.
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s the Kim Monson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 09 :
That seems to me like government is establishing a religion.
SPEAKER 20 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 09 :
If you give people rights, women’s rights, gay rights, whatever, there can’t be equal rights if there are special rights.
SPEAKER 20 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 09 :
Surveys show that people still really prefer freedom over government force.
SPEAKER 20 :
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 Monson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You each are treasured, you’re valued, you have purpose. Today, strive for excellence. Take care of your heart, your soul, your mind, and your body. My friends, we were made for this moment in history. And thank you to the team. That’s producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Happy Tuesday. It’s impossible, producer Joe, that it is already halfway through September. I can’t believe it.
SPEAKER 06 :
It feels like a blink and it’s already here.
SPEAKER 09 :
I know it is. It’s truly a blink. But there is much to do at this particular point in time. We are at a point in history, and this is truly the third founding of America. This is our 1775 moment, 250 years later. There was a lot going on at this time. And to stand for liberty, the responsible exercise of freedom, and what we would pass on to the next generations. Do the show to help you get your brain around these issues. And we are searching for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through this lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Remember, 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, property, freedom, livelihood, opportunity, childhoods, or lives via force. And force can obviously be a weapon, but it can be policy, unpredictable, an excess of taxation, compliance. Fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, all of these things can be taking away our rights, our property. And on the show, we focus on the issues, not the personalities. We will mention people that are pushing the issues, but we really want to stay out of the eighth-grade girl fighting. We’ve got a whole bunch planned for you today. And again, the show, you can listen to it via podcast and the streaming services once we get them posted upon the website. So let’s see. First thing, our word of the day is inchoate. And it’s spelled I-N-C-H-O-A-T-E. And it could be not yet completed or fully developed or just began or incipient. So I would say that the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk is inchoate. And there’s this developing Newsmax this morning has reported that Dan Mongino, has said that there are significant developments suggesting a broader network of people might have been involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And apparently the shooter, was active on a chat channel, I guess, and indicated that there might have been some before knowledge and after knowledge of the event. So stay tuned. There’s going to be a lot to learn on that. So it is the investigation is in COET. Our quote of the day, it is Constitution Day tomorrow, and James Madison is known as the father of our Constitution. He was born in 1750, 1751. I’m not exactly sure. and died in 1836. He was an American statesman, diplomat, and founding father. He was our fourth president, and he was popularly acclaimed as the father of the Constitution for his pivotal role in drafting and promoting the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And he said this, he said, the purpose of the Constitution is to restrict the majority’s ability to harm a minority. And that is our quote of the day. Let’s see. Several other things. I wanted to say thank you to the Harris family for their gold sponsorship of the show. And Hooters Restaurants has been a great sponsor of both the Kim Monson Show and America’s Veterans Stories for many years. And they have great specials Monday through Friday for lunch and for happy hour. And since we’re into September, it’s football season, so a great place to get together with friends to watch all of the games and greatly appreciate them, how I got to know them. It’s a super important story about freedom and free markets and capitalism and PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties that really are trying to control our lives at the local, the county, the state. And Donald Trump is really pushing back on this at the national level. But people are stepping forward. They’re watching what’s going on. We’ll talk with Mike Rolick tomorrow, who said, you know, when the bulldozers show up, it’s a little too late. And so that’s why we need to be paying attention. So with that, last night was the Colorado Union of Taxpayers board meeting. And I do want to say thank you to this amazing group of people. They are all volunteers. And I don’t know any other organization out there that is watching out for the taxpayer. the way that we are. And the taxpayer is all of us because if you buy something in Colorado, you pay sales tax. There’s all kinds of fees out there. And so this group, I want to say thank you to them. Steve Dorman, Greg Golianski, Russ Haas, Bill Hamill, Rob Knuth, John Nelson, Wendy Warner, Marty Nielsen, Ramey Johnson, Mary Jansen, Dave Evans, Corey Onizorg, Paula Beard, and Ray Beard. And so when you see these folks, you’re out and about, say thank you to them because they are doing a great work for the people of Colorado. And are we making a difference? Well, yes, I think that we are. We have just been… Our ratings report for this 2025 Colorado State Legislature and legislators is at the printer. And we’ve had more people… More representatives that have moved up into our warrior level, which is 70 percent to 80 percent or 70 to 79 percent are taking votes that are in agreement with the positions that CUT has taken. And that is actually improvement. And so stay tuned on all of that. And we’d love to have you join us. You can go to coloradotaxpayer.org. That’s coloradotaxpayer.org. Also, speaking of the legislature, Rose Pugliese, who had been the minority leader, has announced that she will be resigning and moving from the Colorado Springs area back to Mesa County. And I do thank her for her service and wish her much good luck as she’s making this particular change. Now, I mentioned that people are stepping forward to make a difference. And I have on the line with me a really amazing woman. She’s a co-founder of Colorado Parents Advocacy Network, really an advocate for parents and for our children. And that is Lori Gemmelstein. Lori, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 14 :
Good morning, Tim. Thank you so much for having me on today.
SPEAKER 09 :
And also on the line with us is Teresa Irby, who is the partnership liaison for the Kim Monson Show. Teresa, welcome. Good morning, everyone. Teresa, I’m going to go to you first, because you, Lori, and I, we’re all very good friends. And Lori and her team are hosting their gala, which is this Friday night. And this is really important, Teresa, right?
SPEAKER 12 :
This is very important. And I think now more than ever, this is such a time for us to just come together as people of like mind, um, stand shoulder to shoulder with each other, find things to be joyful about, find great conversations. It’s going to be a night of good food, amazing speakers. We’re going to have Aaron Lee there, um, We’re going to have Pastor Biff Gore, Khaled Obama, Aaron Lee, Trevor Loudon. There’s going to be a special tribute from Alveda King, who is the, Lori, is this the granddaughter of Dr. Martin Luther King? niece, I think she’s a niece. But I think that now more than ever, especially after the events that we’ve all been walking through in this last week, I just think now more than ever, first of all, CPAN really needs the support. CPAN is out there on the front lines giving everything. Lori and her team fighting for parents and children in Colorado for their rights and standing up the lawsuits that they’ve brought to the forefront. and just the help that they give. People call Lori on a regular basis just to ask for help, whether it’s something happening in their local school, and they are tirelessly. So I’m asking you, I am beseeching everyone, let’s come together for a joyous occasion, but let’s also support this amazing organization that is out there supporting us, the parents and kids of Colorado. It’s this Friday night. at the Vehicle Vault in Parker, which what an opportunity. That is such an amazing location. Great food, great speakers, and great people. You’re going to get to be with your like-minded brothers and sisters that care about our beautiful state of Colorado. So come have a great night with us.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, and thank you, Teresa. And Lori, just tell us a little bit more about Trevor Loudon.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yes. Trevor Loudon is an international author, filmmaker, speaker. He wrote the book The Enemy Within. He was recently in the acclaimed documentary Beneath Sheep’s Clothing, really exposing communism here in the United States of America. And he is just so incredibly well versed. on how communism is being pushed into the public education sector.
SPEAKER 09 :
And Laurie Gimmelstein, why is communism bad?
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, there are many, many reasons why communism is bad. And you can ask anyone that is here in the United States from a communist country where they immigrated here, the greatest nation on this earth with the most amazing ideal of these principles of life, liberty and happiness. And when you are in a communist country, it genuinely goes against human nature. And it does not work. It causes destruction. It causes extreme poverty. It causes just really a breakdown of community. And here in the United States, where we are fortunate to have capitalism here, And the founding ideals from our founding fathers where we can pursue our life, liberty and happiness. That is where freedom flourishes. That’s where people flourish. And that is why the United States of America has been a beacon of hope for people across the world. And what we’re seeing is this. overtaken of our legislature here in Colorado and in many other states in the nation by people that call themselves Democrats, but they’re actually members of the Democrat Socialist Party. And so I think people need to be aware that this is happening, that the Democrat Party here in Colorado has really been infiltrated and weaponized by socialists and communists.
SPEAKER 09 :
And that is why the work that you’re doing, you are on the front line, Laurie Gemmelstein. I was down at the Capitol a couple of times preparing to testify regarding there were a number of bills regarding transgenderism and this transgender ideology, how they’re really going after our children in our schools. And we’re seeing that play out in a lot of different ways here in our society now. So you are on the front line. I thank you for that. And people really should support you if they’re not able to attend the event. Certainly contribute to CPAN. What is that website, Laurie Gimmelstein, to get tickets and to support you?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yes, so all the time, everybody just go to Colorado Parents, and that’s with an S, parents.org. If you click on the Events tab, we have a link there to purchase tickets for the gala, which is this Friday, September 19th, at the stunning Vehicle Vault in Parker, Colorado. It is going to be an exceptional night of celebration, reflection on all the great strides we’ve made here in Colorado, all of us together. And just we’re going to all have this opportunity to really leave with a sense of hope and unity. And so I encourage all your listeners, get your tickets today. It’s going to be phenomenal food. There’s going to be dancing, great people, including the ambassador of soul, Pastor Biff Gore, Erin Lee, Colorado mom, founder of Protect Kids Colorado, our keynote speaker, Trevor Loudon. We also have special video commentary from both Dr. Alveda King and James Lindsay.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, great work on that, Laurie Gimmelstein, and good luck on that. I’m going to be up in Grand Lake. I wish I could be in two places at the same time. I’ve tried, and it’s never been successful, Laurie, but I wish you great luck on that. And Teresa Irby, thank you so much as well, partnership liaison with the Kim Monson Show.

And so, first of all, I wanted to welcome former State Senator Kevin Lundberg. We’re going to be talking with him during the balance of the hour. Kevin, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, thank you. Glad to be with you, as always.
SPEAKER 09 :
And late breaking, we had her on a few weeks ago, and that is Wendy Volk. She is a realtor in Cheyenne, and it was brought to my attention that there was a very large industrial wind project that was proposed about 25 miles northwest of Cheyenne, and many of the Wyomingites did not know about it, and so Wendy went to work to learn more about it. Wendy, welcome to the show. Good morning, Kim. How are you? I am doing well. And so a couple of things happened. There was some good news, Wendy, regarding this project. It’s 56,000 acres, which is significant. And you’ve researched this out. It was before the Planning Commission. They voted to postpone their vote, but there’s something important happening tonight. So for those listeners that may not be familiar with the project, give us the cliff notes on that.
SPEAKER 11 :
Sure. Just a real quick story is so I’m married into a long-term ranching family here in Horse Creek area. They have deep roots going back 154 years. And beginning of June, we got a registered letter saying that came from a company, a multinational energy company called Repsol, that they were going to be building 170 wind turbines that they were proposing on 56,000 acres. Didn’t tell us specifically where it was, but we were within a one-mile radius of this project. And they gave us on an 8 1⁄2 by 11 piece of paper a map of Laramie County showing this kind of postage stamp-sized project. So you had no idea where it was in relationship to where you are and what could be the impacts. And then a couple weeks later, they had another letter from the county, again, telling us it had been – The company had submitted an application, and there was going to be a public discussion, which took place last week. The Planning Commission of Laramie County reviewed the public comments. And when we first got involved with this and I mapped out where the project was, the company gave me an incorrect map. They did not properly reflect where our property was in relationship. When, in fact, we have 6,100 acres of our ranch touching the south side of this project, and we have 60 On the south side of the project, there’s probably a dozen turbines. These things, at first they didn’t describe how large they were, but through this research we’ve been doing, they’re 600 feet, 600 feet tall. I started looking into our land use regulations for our county, and the center of each of these turbine hubs need to be one and a half times away from your property line. So in essence, these turbines, although you can’t tell it on an eight and a half by 11 piece of paper, but if you blow it up to 11 by 17, you can see these are 900, 1200 feet away from our property line. So we really just kind of raised awareness of who all was impacted. It’s not just the maybe 15 neighbors, 15, 20 neighbors touching around a huge 56,000 acre project. There’s, you know, outlying areas that are, as you are approaching, you know, driving from Horse Creek back into town, there’s 3,500 people that live along Horse Creek Road. And they’re going to be impacted because it’s a three-year proposed project if the permits are approved. And it’s going to be 300 constructions. going to and from work. On that road, there will be 275, 285 semi trucks as part of the construction process at the peak of process. So I really wanted to raise awareness to say, we need to make sure our community, our elected officials, and this prospective client Coming into our community as the applicant starts having a dialogue to say, let’s all hold each other accountable here and keeping an open dialogue and transparency. And what are we going to do to ensure safety standards are met, roads are improved, and those standards are met? Wildlife is tremendously going to be impacted. That’s a fact. Water tables, I think, will also. I mean, we’re in a drought right now in Horse Creek area. Is that from the other wind project that’s already up and running that’s maybe 20 miles away? There’s been all types of research, but we haven’t really explored it in our community in an open forum talking about what this could be.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and this didn’t just happen, Wendy. The electeds and bureaucrats have been working on this with this company for quite some time, yes?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, we did find out that the company – and I’m not surprised. If you’re a large multinational company and you’re bringing in a project of this magnitude to any part of the country or any part of the world, I do believe that there would be preliminary pre-meeting, pre-planning meetings taking place. But we as neighbors have just learned about it in the last 60 days, and there are – planning department and our elected officials in the area we’ve been told by the company that they’ve been talking to them since 2018 so for the past seven eight years there’s been a whole lot of work going into this um this is there’s two permits to do a wind project in our community you have to go before the county to get a high transmission line permit as well as the wind um project permit. And then the second step is then going to our state, our Department of Environmental Quality, and going through an industrial siting permit process. It’s much more elaborate. Just the county permit is almost 500 pages. And so it was really essential to dive into it, read it, try to understand it, even though a lot of it might seem like it could be over your head, break it down and say, okay, a traffic study, this is going to have an impact. A noise study, an acoustical study, that’s going to have an impact. They never shared what the cultural resource study reflected, but the company said that they’re going to be good stewards there. I would have liked to have seen that. But this project is on 50,000 acres of private land and 6,100 acres of state land. And so… I respect our neighbors. We get along. It was amazing during our planning commission discussion. We had to wait through the first hour and a half of other business that the commission had to conduct. And then for another two, almost two and a half hours was just the people and neighbors and neighbors. other ranchers doing up and speaking. And from a wide variety of perspectives, there was no mudslinging. There was no personal attacks. There was no, it was just people came. They spoke their, they spoke up. They researched what they were going to talk about. Everyone had about five minutes to present their ideas or their concerns. And, you know, it was on September 11th when this planning commission meeting took place. It really should be. That should be the way that we conduct ourselves in public settings. This is how we should be able to come together and say, does this project make sense the way it is initially being cited? This initial site plan is what they’re looking at. And I think it’s Got some inadequacies. I think it has some deficiencies. I think there could be some huge improvements. But the number one thing the company did is they did not communicate well. They did a very poor job of communicating with our community and especially those people and direct neighbors of the property.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, Wendy Volk, let’s have you stay on the line. Let’s go to break. Kevin Lundberg, former state senator, is on the line as well. And I’d like to get his perspective on this. There’s a few other details that we want to make sure people know. But today, Wendy, there is a very important meeting that would be would be great if people would show up for that. What is that and at what time?
SPEAKER 11 :
Sure. Our Laramie County, uh, commissioners, there’s five of them that will, they are having a meeting today at three 30 downtown Cheyenne at the historic courthouse, which is located at three 10 west 19th street. There’s an elevator, there’s stairs up to the third floor. It’s suite number 310, and there’s a published agenda. You can read more about the project. It looks like the last agenda item, just like it was last week for the Planning Commission. But I would tell people to come pack a snack. I think it’s going to be going for a while because I think this very healthy dialogue needs to take place between our elected officials, the community, and the applicant.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, so Wendy Volk will stay on the line, and we are going to talk with Kevin Lundberg about this as well. He is a former state senator here in Colorado.

We’d love to have you join us. More information, go to GrandLakeUSConstitutionWeek.com. And we are talking with Wendy Volk. She is a realtor in Cheyenne. We’re talking about this proposed $56,000 deal. acre industrial wind project we have former state senator kevin lundberg author of the lundberg report on kevin this was late breaking to add wendy in what’s your perspective on this
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I find this fascinating, and two things come to my mind directly that I’d want to get out, which is, first, I want to compliment Wendy for taking a very responsible approach to all of this and presenting the facts correctly. pluses and minuses and pointing out the deficiencies that just might be with this plan. The second is there might be some deficiencies that you have to keep your eyes wide open on. It reminds me of a project that another big corporation did in my neighborhood down in Larimer County here in Colorado. where Xcel Energy was, they put in a big natural gas pipeline from Cheyenne to Denver, and they came to my little community of Berthoud, and the first thing they did is they informed everybody that they were doing it, and they claimed they had all the legal rights to put this in, and they were just going to put it right across everybody’s property, and they Talk about a disruptive thing. And as state senator, I realized I need to dig in. And they were coming across my property, too. And they just said, we’re going to do this and we’re going to take these property rights from you and blah, blah, blah. And long story. But we, you know, I looked at the things that they were going to do and claimed they could do. And we dug our heels in and didn’t say not in my backyard. And literally, it was my backyard. But we said, you can’t assume you have rights from legitimate property owners. And it took us about a year, year and a half to negotiate with them, you might say. And we did it through public awareness, you know, because big corporations like that have a whole range. you know, stable, full of lawyers who can write things up. And they they wrote off this one legal opinion that that I looked at it. And I’m not an attorney, but, you know, I kind of. play a lawyer in a sense, or better yet, I was a lawmaker at that point in time, and I realized that their arguments were very poorly constructed, didn’t have much legal merit at all. So go into these things with your eyes open, and don’t act like a nimby, you know, not in my backyard, but… Act like a responsible property owner that has some, you know, rights that need to be recognized. So, you know, and actually it caused me to think a couple of other things because 50 years ago, my father and I worked on, worked with the state of Wyoming to put a, an irrigation project on some property. We had way on the Eastern edge of Larimer, Laramie, Laramie County and, And and it was good for all. It worked out well and everything, you know, was appropriate. So they might be a blessing to the community or they might be a curse. But you’ve got to go into it clearly. And I know that’s a high wind area that another quick story. A cousin of mine took me 20 years ago out west. um of cheyenne and and showed me an experimental wind farm area back then they were just trying to figure out how these systems work and this this cousin knew a lot about it he used to be the speaker of the house in wyoming many many years ago and he was just wanting me as a legislator from colorado to understand where that industry was at that point and so i can understand them being very interested in that area because there’s a lot of wind west of cheyenne
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes, there is. Wendy Volk, this meeting again, let’s get that out there because people need to attend. So this meeting is today. And tell us again the time and place.
SPEAKER 11 :
3.30, downtown Cheyenne, in the Laramie County Historic Courthouse building, which is at 310 West 19th Street, again on the third floor. And people can also participate by Zoom. Our Laramie County website has a great resource. If you do Laramie County, countycommissioners.org. in terms of searching that in their meetings. Their meetings are also online for someone that might not be able to participate in person. So there’s a number of ways to participate. I just really stress of keeping level heads, keeping the dialogue open. I’ve had people saying, I really hope you can get over your objections. And I said, what I really want is to make sure that everyone, not just Wendy Volk or not just a one person or two persons or three persons, have looked at this application to say you know let’s be good stewards here let’s let’s plan for our development let’s plan for this development appropriately let’s be good stewards of our community and the resources that we have yes wind is something that can be harvested in any number of places i know i think at least a few days a year it blows in colorado too so um i think here in wyoming we know it’s it’s one of our natural resources probably that can be utilized. I think there is a place for renewables in Wyoming. We just want to do it responsibly and thoughtfully because when you put up a 60-story office building sized wind turbine and multiply it times 170, it’s going to have some lasting effects for generations to come.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and that is something that I think really we need to look at. And Trent Luce sent over the interview that he did with you yesterday, I think, the broadcast yesterday. And again, how tall are these turbines again?
SPEAKER 11 :
Over 600 feet, and that’s the equivalent of a 60-story office building. And the size of this project, it’s 56,000 acres. That’s almost three times the size of the city of Cheyenne. And so this isn’t something you can put on an 8 1⁄2 by 11 piece of paper and expect everyone to say, this is a good idea. This needs a lot more in-depth analysis and research because of the magnitude of… everything on so many levels. I just want to put our best and brightest minds behind this project. If it’s going to move forward, then let’s do it responsibly.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and Wendy, we always need to look into the future and I’m sure Kevin can attest to this as well, that really we need to look at the far reaching consequences of this. And one of the things that I think you and I had talked offline was What about when the wind project has matured and what happens to those wind turbines? What happens to the property at that particular point in time? What if Repsol, the Spanish company, has gone out of business? Who’s going to come in and reclaim the land and put it back the way that it’s supposed to be? And in your interview yesterday with Trent, it sounded like they only had to go down maybe three feet to take care of reclaiming the land. And again, we’re looking into the future. I actually, with a friend of mine, Jenny, was up in… Larimer County and we went out and we saw a wind farm that was being dismantled and the amount of concrete and rebar that has to go down deep into the ground to support a 600-foot wind tower is significant. And we need to think about what will happen when this wind farm has matured and is no longer needed. So what’s your thoughts on that, Wendy?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, the company, as part of their permit, had to propose a reclamation decommission plan. And when you read it, at first you’re thinking, oh, it looks like we’ve covered it. I’ve had people tell us that the actual cost of what the company’s proposing, it’s only 10% of maybe what it’s actually going to cost. One of the things they even say in there is in the event if, you know, God forbid, the state of Wyoming and the citizens have to pick up the tab for reclaiming this property or the project, they were even talking about selling some of the product, a scrap metal. And I’m like, what? That should be part of the reclamation as we can offset some of the expense exposure by scrap metal. I would just… it’s a lot of fiberglass. There is a lot of concrete and rebar, like you said. And so whether they do a long horizontal type of a foundation and footers for a 600 foot turbine, or they go down vertically to do foundation footers, either one that is land that I don’t think we’ll ever get back to the state that it’s in right now is we’re in the high plains. We’re 6,000 feet above sea level. Um, There are some native grasses there that they talk about that they would try to reclaim when they take the turbines down, however that might be, and wherever they find a place to dispose of them. I don’t know where they’re going to be able to put that many turbines, whether it’s 30 years from now or three years from now. I have no idea where that’s going to go, and that impact is going to be far-reaching.
SPEAKER 09 :
And these are the things that people need to be thinking about. And, Wendy, thank you. You went through that 500-page report on that. So, again, what time and where, Wendy Volk, and thank you for joining us.
SPEAKER 11 :
Sure. Thank you, Kim. Again, it’s at the Laramie County Commissioner’s public hearing today at 3.30. I would encourage people to come early. It was last week it was standing room only. Because there’s other agenda items that public officials have to go through on the agenda. And so 330 at 310 West 19th Street, it’s in the old historic courthouse. That’s where the county commissioners conduct their business. And there will be an opportunity for public comment. And hopefully, you know, unlike last week, the company will respond to some of these questions and inquiries. We ran out of time. It was 7.30, 7.45 when we got out of last week’s meeting. And there just wasn’t the normal application process is the applicant should be responding to inquiries. When I’ve presented projects, and probably like you, Kim, when you’ve been in government positions, You have to let the applicant respond, and sometimes they get grilled, and sometimes they just breeze on through.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. Well, Wendy Volk, thank you so much. Greatly appreciate that. And again, that meeting’s at 3.30 in Cheyenne, and that’s with the county commissioners. And Kevin Lumberg is going to stay on the line. I want to get his perspective on what’s happened with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And these discussions happen because of our sponsors. And we’ll talk with him in the next hour. And that’s John Bozen with Bozen Law.
SPEAKER 07 :

SPEAKER 09 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Check out our website. That’s Kim Monson, M-O-N-S-O-N.com. And I want to mention just how much I support two nonprofits, and that is the USMC Memorial Foundation. And they are raising money for the remodel for the memorial. You can help them by going to USMCMemorialFoundation.org. And then also the Center for American Values, which is located in Pueblo. They are nonpartisan. They’re nonpolitical. but they are putting together important educational programs, K through 12, that focus on these foundational principles of honor, integrity, and patriotism. We’ve got to reclaim the education of our children, and they’re doing a great job. And that website is AmericanValueCenter.org. On the line with me is Kevin Lundberg, former state senator. His website is KevinLundberg, that’s L-U-N-D-B-E-R-G.com. And that is where you can find the Lundberg Report. Kevin, thank you. Any other comments that you’d like to make regarding this proposed industrial wind project outside of Cheyenne in Horse Creek?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I think it’s a great example of how a community needs to keep their eyes open. And, you know, when some big entity comes in to get something done, I believe in the free markets and markets. That, you know, people need to be able to use their property as they see best, but as it impacts everybody else that, you know, that’s what government’s about is to is to sort those details out. And, you know, as I said, I I think Wendy is really handling this in a responsible fashion, but my experience has told me, keep your eyes open, ask all the questions, don’t assume anything, especially when some entity from the outside is coming into your community. Make sure that they understand who you are and what the limits are on their prerogative. I also found it interesting that a lot of this is public property, not the biggest portion, but apparently there’s been a lot of discussions within the public side, and I kind of question whether they’ve been that transparent in the development of this.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and she’s done great work. And reading the whole proposal is so important so that you understand that. And so she’s done a great job on that. Kevin, let’s move over to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I think that so many of us are so sad. The whole thing, the whole story is just so sad. And what’s your thoughts on this?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well… Yeah, my thoughts and, more importantly, prayers go out to Erica Kirk and her kids and the whole organization that are so directly impacted by this. And Charlie Kirk was an incredible influencer. And it’s because he lived his life in truth. And he held to clear principles which are derived from the Bible, from biblical principles, the Word of God. And Charlie was unafraid to just proclaim that clearly. And a great tragedy, but you know what? what men, uh, mean for evil, God turns, uh, for good in so many ways. And, and I’m seeing a revival, um, an awakening, uh, that that’s not just within that organization or on a few college campuses, but it seems to be literally sweeping, uh, the country. And in many ways, the world, um, As I put in my newsletter, I mean, I didn’t have a whole lot to say. I tried to recount what other people have had to say about Charlie and his life, because those who knew him personally had much more insight than I. But it is just amazing to me how this tragedy is… is turning people the right direction in so many ways. I’m a shocking, terrible, the impact on those two kids. That’s probably where my heart goes out the most. I was looking at my own grandkids with my daughter who lives here in Colorado, who, who has a three-year-old girl and a one-year-old boy. And just, trying to imagine how that impacts them, you know, if they were in Charlie Kirk’s family’s situation. But I’m encouraged. I’m encouraged by what I see overall, as I say. We need to know where we put our trust, and it’s not in our abilities, it’s in God’s guidance and direction, and even in this very despicable act that occurred. I’m flabbergasted at how much the world has changed Um, and how many people have really taken life more seriously because of this and, and drilled down to the real truth, you know, to, to, to watch, uh, um, some of these events, like what was it at the, uh, um, the, the big event, uh, it was in Washington, DC at the, uh, what do they call it? The, the Kennedy center, I think it is.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
Um, where they’re singing, I’d rather have Jesus than anything. Because that’s what has, what really drives me. And it’s what really drove Charlie Kirk. And then my prayer is that it, that more and more people take that seriously and understand Charlie’s fine. He, you know, it is a reality that life after death is the apostle Paul said that, you know, To be alive is good to be here, but to die is gain. And, you know, not to hasten that, but when God calls you home, and that happens in a lot of different ways, that’s an ultimate good thing. But it’s a terrible thing for us to live with the reality here, even though we’re seeing… From this death, blessings of life all around the world.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and yes, Charlie is with our Savior, and that is good for him. But for those that are still here, his wife and his children, our hearts hurt for them. So, Kevin Lumberg, thank you so much. We will talk again here in a couple of weeks. Greatly appreciate it.
SPEAKER 15 :
As always, appreciate the opportunity to just chat and share some of these things with many people.
SPEAKER 09 :
And so stay tuned for our number two. Our quote for the end of the show is from James Madison. He said the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judiciary in the same hands, whether one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed or elective may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. So we’ll be right back with our number two.

SPEAKER 09 :
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water, what it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 20 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 09 :
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 20 :
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 20 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 09 :
Indeed, let’s have a conversation, and welcome to our number two of the Kim Monson 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. Thank you to the team, and Joe is working on the boards there. That’s a good team. 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 really important information in the first hour, talking about this industrial wind project that is being proposed up in Laramie County, which Cheyenne is in Laramie County in… Wyoming. And then Laramie is in a different county. So it was a little confusing until I figured that out. So Cheyenne, this is outside of Cheyenne, about 25 miles northwest of Cheyenne. And Wendy Volk, just really a thoughtful citizen who’s taken the time to actually read the proposal. And that is the best way to Get your brain around these issues and understand them. And then that way you’re knowledgeable and you can ask smart questions. And that seems to be what she is doing. So let’s get in here to our word of the day. Well, first of all, as you know, we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. And if something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. We focus on the issues, not personalities. We’ll mention the people that are pushing these issues, but we want to stay out of all the name-calling, eighth-grade girl-fighting, all of that kind of stuff that happens to go on from time to time in politics and its human nature. So let’s see. Our word of the day is… is inchoate. And it’s spelled I-N-C-H-O-A-T-E. It could be number one, not yet completed or fully developed. Number two, just began or incipient. And the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk is inchoate. And so your challenge is to use that in a sentence today. And again, I-N-C-H-O-A-T-E. Our quote of the day is from James Madison. He was born in either 1750, 1751, died in 1836, and he was an American statesman, diplomat, and founding father. He was our fourth president, and he’s known as the father of the Constitution for his pivotal role in drafting and promoting democracy. the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. And he said this, the purpose of the Constitution is to restrict the majority’s ability to harm the minority. And this is Constitution Week up in Grand Lake. I’ll be up there on Friday emceeing the main event where the main speaker is Jonathan Turley. You can get more information by going to grandlakeusconstitutionweek.com. That’s GrandLakeUSConstitutionWeek.com. And this investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there’s a lot of information that’s going to be coming out. And this was from Newsmax, Dan Bongino. who is the FBI deputy director, said that the investigators have uncovered significant developments, suggesting that there’s a broader network of people that might have been involved in this assassination. And so stay tuned. The fact that the shooter was captured and not killed or committed suicide, I think is going to be interesting to see what they find out from that as well. We have all of these discussions because of our sponsors and because of all of your support. We are an independent voice on an independent station. And what that means is, is that I buy my airtime. And so I have full freedom, guidance from the good Lord on guests and subject matter. And I thank all of you. And I thank the Harris family for their goal sponsorship of the show as well. We really do appreciate that. Let’s see. We got our word of the day. On the line with us is one of our really terrific sponsors, and that’s John Bozen with Bozen Law. If you’ve been injured, you certainly should give them a call. That number is 303-999-9999 for a complimentary appointment. John Bozen, welcome.
SPEAKER 16 :
Good morning, Kim.
SPEAKER 09 :
I guess the first thing is your thoughts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
SPEAKER 16 :
It was a really, really tough day when I heard what happened. I’ve been a big Charlie Kirk fan for a long time and went down to Amerifest down in Phoenix last December. I got an opportunity to really, I did not meet Charlie. That’s my biggest regret. But I got to listen to him talk with people that knew him well. And he was doing some incredibly special things for our youth, for our country. It was a devastating loss, and I don’t use that term very often, but it was a devastating loss for all of us, especially our country and our youth.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and what he was doing was having a conversation about these important issues, which is what we strive to do every day on the Kim Monson Show as well. And I really thought about it. The idea that someone would be assassinated or killed because they are talking about ideas is beyond belief. And it’s been attributed to Stalin, John, that he said that ideas are more powerful than guns. We wouldn’t let our enemies have guns. Why would we let them have ideas? And I think this is played out here. So, John, you’re an attorney. Free speech. And in fact, Jonathan Turley on Saturday at Grand Lake U.S. Constitution Week will be talking about free speech in an age of rage. And speech is so important. I want to protect free speech. There’s reports that people are losing their jobs because they have been celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. What’s your thoughts? How does free speech match up to this? What’s your thoughts on this, John?
SPEAKER 16 :
I am, like you, Kim, a big protector and acknowledge first and foremost that free speech is absolutely something that has to be protected and cherished. And people have the right to to say what they will, and I’ve heard some just unbelievably disgusting and horrific, and I think we’ve seen the videos of people celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I’m personally disgusted by it. They can say it, but people need to understand that there’s consequences for what they say and what they endorse. And when you endorse violence and you endorse it with a posting of a video or post something online, there’s consequences. And myself, as an employer, as a boss, I have the right to not want someone of that ilk, of that character, working for me. I think people need to… understand that there are consequences for endorsing violence, endorsing something like the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And it goes so much deeper, Kim. I mean, we have a massive cultural issue with people when they can do this, when they can get up and say the things they’ve said and write the things they’ve written and post videos of people dancing and celebrating something like this. It’s sad. And we’ve got to change that culture because that will destroy this country. And so I have no issue, no problem whatsoever with people losing their jobs when they are endorsing something like they have in terms of the violence and killing someone for their thoughts and having potentially a different view than they have. We cannot accept that.
SPEAKER 09 :
So celebrating the assassination of someone who was basically killed because he was exercising his freedom of speech If you celebrate that, then you can say it, but quite frankly, as you mentioned, there’s consequences. But the idea to celebrate, and you’re helping me work myself through this, to celebrate killing someone because they are exercising their freedom of speech, means that you should be responsible for what you’re doing with your freedom of speech. I think that’s what you’ve connected for me, John Boson.
SPEAKER 16 :
I think that’s what I’m trying to say. Yeah, it’s tough stuff, Kim. There need to be consequences when you endorse the killing of someone who’s exercising their First Amendment rights.
SPEAKER 09 :
Absolutely. Well done, John Bozen. It is very sad. I know that our hearts are heavy with this. And we know that Charlie is Christian. He is with our Lord and Savior. But those that are left behind here, it’s really tough for him and his family. And as I see the videos of him and the little children, that just rips my heart out.
SPEAKER 16 :
Heartbreaking.
SPEAKER 09 :
But with that, we must carry on. I interviewed, gosh, last year, his family reached out to me, a 100-year-old World War II veteran. And the family, he was in great shape. And the family said that he said this every day. He said, carry on. And that is what we’re to do, John Bozen, is we are to carry on.
SPEAKER 16 :
I would agree completely, and God uses all things for His good and greater glory, and I believe, as difficult as this is for us to accept what’s happened to Charlie Kirk, that that is exactly what’s going to happen. I think the movement, what he stood for, is going to be bigger and greater. You will see hundreds, if not thousands, of people stepping up, to make sure that his mission continues. And I would so encourage listeners to donate so that what he started can continue and grow and become even more powerful. Donate to Turning Point. Donate to conservative causes so we can keep voices loud and clear. Donate to the Kim Monson Show. We need people to step up and understand that we are in an incredible spiritual battle, and we need to have the voices that are clear and powerful and speak in the truth continue to do so. So that would be my request.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, thank you. And John Bozen, we so appreciate your support of the Kim Monson Show. If people have been injured, give John Bozen and Bozen Law a call. That number is 303-999-9999. John Bozen, we’ll talk next week.
SPEAKER 16 :

And please have on the line with me, Ryan Morgan. And he is a military and foreign affairs reporter with the Epoch Times. But he also went to university in… Utah, and he has published several pieces recently surrounding the Charlie Kirk assassination. Ryan, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 10 :
Thanks for having me on, Kim.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s a very somber time right now, but you went to university in Utah, so you know a lot of the people out there. What are you hearing with your ear to the ground on what’s occurring on the investigation and what all happened?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, well, if I can back you up just for a moment. So I went to school at BYU, which is… actually five minutes down the road from Utah Valley university where, uh, Charlie Kirk was fatally shot. And, you know, the day, the day that happened, I just, on my, my X feed, I kept seeing, um, this trend, Utah Valley university. And I was like, Oh, wow. You know, that’s, that’s my old hometown. I used to live right there. And so, uh, I was the first, uh, reporter in my newsroom to see the news of what had happened. Um, And since then, it’s just been chasing down details at every turn. And so I did reach out to several friends and family members that live in the area to get a lot of interviews with eyewitnesses, with people that were closely connected to Charlie Kirk. I actually interviewed… I guess he was the chapter president for Utah Valley University for Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk’s organization. And he had known Charlie for several years, and he was just gutted, just torn apart inside that this event had happened at a university where he had built up the Turning Point chapter there. So, yeah, just with that background in mind, I’ve been working closely with a great team of reporters. We had Nathan Worcester down in the Provo, Utah, Provo-Orem, Utah area. And then now we have Janice Heasel. She’s down, I believe she went down to Washington, Utah, which is about three hours south, to go see where the suspect of the shooting was. grew up where he lived, uh, where he was arrested. And now today I believe she’ll be back in Provo. And that’s where the, um, the suspect it’s, uh, Tyler Robinson is supposed to be formally charged. Uh, and so, you know, obviously he’s looking at, uh, I can’t remember the exact phrasing, but it’s capital murder, um, is what the charge is expected to be later this afternoon, uh, about, uh, 12 p.m. Mountain Time. And so, yeah, he’ll likely be facing capital murder with the possibility of death penalty if he’s convicted.
SPEAKER 09 :
And Ryan Morgan, thank you. I had referred to him in the previous hour as the shooter. And actually, you are correct. He is the suspect. And I need to correct myself on that to try to get that right. In interviewing witnesses, and you’ve written a piece that was published on September 10th, it says witnesses recount scene of the Charlie Kirk assassination. What’s your takeaway from that? That was written, you know, the day. So what’s your thoughts on that?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. And, yeah, I mean, when I talked to this guy, Jeremy King was his name, right? obviously this was all very fresh on his mind. I spoke with him maybe within an hour or two hours of the shooting. And as we were talking about this, he, he was like, his initial reaction is he just didn’t believe it. He’s like, Oh, is this like some kind of sick prank? Like, cause, uh, the last question that I guess Charlie Kirk took was, was about gun violence and, And, you know, he was having a kind of a back and forth exchange with, I guess, a student at UVU about it. And then he hears a crack and he sees, you know, Charlie Kirk go down. And his first thought is, oh, is this a prank? But, you know, as he came to rationalize it, he’s like, no, this isn’t the kind of thing that Charlie Kirk would do. And then, you know, that’s all happening within the span of a second. And then the crowd, you know, obviously went into a panic as the realization set in and everybody’s fleeing. This guy, Jeremy King, that I spoke with, he took, as he was fleeing the event, he ended up fleeing out the same exit point that… I guess Charlie Kirk’s security team or the first responders, five or six guys picked him up and carried him to a waiting SUV about 20 yards behind where he had his tent set up. And there’s just this flood. As you watch the video, there’s just this flood of people trying to get out and general panic. And yeah, so I mean, that’s sort of the account that he gave and what he witnessed. Um, he was, I believe about 15 yards away from Charlie Kirk when that shot rang out. And at first he’s like, maybe this is a firecracker kind of sounds like a 22. I think what we’ve found out is that it was just sort of the general acoustics of the environment. We know, or what we understand now is police have said that this was a 30 out six hunting rifle of some kind. Um, that is believed to have been the murder weapon.
SPEAKER 09 :
So I want to talk more about then Charlie Kirk. Your next piece that you wrote, published on the 13th, was how Charlie Kirk challenged and inspired a generation of rising political influencers. So let’s go to break just a little bit early so that we can talk more in depth about that. I’m talking… with Ryan Morgan, and he is a military and foreign affairs reporter with the Epoch Times. But he went to the university in just five minutes down the road from the university where Charlie Kirk was speaking. And As we’re talking about firearms, I’m so pleased to have the Second Syndicate as a sponsor of the show. They are bringing together different voices regarding protecting our Second Amendment rights. And the main thing that stops a bad guy with a firearm is a good guy with a firearm. And so those that are advocating for for law-abiding citizens to not be able to keep and bear firearms is really antithetical to our Constitution. And so I thank the Second Syndicate for the great work that they’re doing.

Talking with Ryan Morgan, he is the military and foreign affairs reporter for the Epoch Times. And he went to a university at BYU just down about five minutes from the university where Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And you’ve written a really interesting piece, Ryan, regarding Charlie Kirk’s influence. What what do you think people should know about that?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, well, I think and I mentioned in our last segment, there is this there is this organizer for Turning Point USA at Utah Valley University where Charlie Kirk was shot. And this guy, Gunnar Thorderson, met Kirk and, and was actually very close with Kirk for a number of years. And I think he put it really well. And I’ll, I’ll truncate the quote a little bit here, but he, he, he said, Charlie Kirk could have been running his multimillion dollar operation from a fancy office. And he could have just hired out the dangerous part of what he did to other activists. And instead of doing that, he was always in the trenches. He was always having these conversations and, uh, He was in the middle of having a debate, a conversation, a civil discourse about differing political views up until the very end. That’s what he was in the middle of doing when he was shot. And I believe that’s how a lot of people are going to remember him. I spoke to several people and That was kind of the main takeaway is you could disagree with the guy, but he was there to have a conversation. He was there to facilitate a conversation. Whether it’s him debating, whether it’s him moderating a debate, he was there to get people talking. He had a quote. This is a video that really started to go viral recently. shortly after he was killed, where it’s just a video of him talking with someone who’s trying to understand, you know, why are you doing this? Why do you have this stand set up at this university where you’re just, you know, throwing out your political opinions and, and, you know, sometimes it’s upsetting these students. And Charlie says to this lady, you know, the reason I’m here is so that we can have discourse because I, When we retreat to our corners and we stop talking, that’s when you have violence. That’s when you get to civil war, and I’m trying to prevent that. And so, you know, that’s what he did until the very end. You know, the other thing I would say is the influence he seemed to have had is he gave a lot of students of kind of a conservative – political bent, a sense of courage to, I guess, be more upfront about their politics. I think there’s a fair degree of what I was picking up on them is there’s a fair degree of kind of social pressure, peer pressure to just kind of keep your politics to yourself, especially if they’re kind of leaning towards the right, more conservative and having a guy, a young guy articulate as Charlie Kirk was and, going around and, you know, being willing to take some criticism and sort of have people yell at him and, you know, curse him out. But, you know, him sitting there and taking it and forcing a conversation, it seems that this sort of mentality that he had gave a lot of, young people kind of a sense of courage and boldness to do the same. And so that was really a big part of his influence on a generation of young people, and especially young conservative people. I tried to get some interviews with sort of, I guess, people that would be opposed to his political views, people on the other side of the aisle. And I came across a few people who, you know, were reflecting, you know, hey, I’ve debated this guy a couple of times. There’s very little that we would agree on. But one thing I’ll always give him credit for is that he was willing to have a conversation with us, willing to disagree civilly with us. And I’m not okay with that. using violence as a means to, I guess, prove our point, try to prove our point, because it doesn’t. So, yeah, those were the big takeaways that I got as I was talking to a lot of young people, a lot of college-age people, and even a couple of high school people that were not quite ready to, you know, come out and have their names mentioned. fully put out there because they’re still nervous about where they are politically and personally and their views.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, this came in, Ryan Morgan, on our text line, and the text line is 720-605-0647. It said, a video showing a young girl in a classroom at University of Northern Texas was standing up against many classmates who were cheering the death of Charlie Kirk. The professor did basically nothing. So this listener called that university yesterday and told the office of the president that they’d been a teacher for many years and they would never have done something like that. The professors are who these young people are looking up to. And you should never celebrate someone’s death. There are things that are right and there are things that are wrong. I said, do you understand Charlie left a beautiful wife and two children who will never know their father? Said, we have got to stop this man. He should not be teaching. So this was a question that I posited to John Bozen, sponsor of the show with Bozen Law. What’s your thoughts, Ryan Morgan, and regarding people losing their jobs because they are celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk? What’s your thoughts on that?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, you know, I don’t typically, I don’t get too far into my own personal opinions on kind of these topics, but I’ll just say just, you know, as an observation, this is not sort of a new trend of people losing their jobs over their political stances. Maybe what we’re seeing is kind of a moment of the shoes on the other foot. Whereas before, it would be kind of a lot of conservative people that, I guess for one reason or another, upset kind of a more liberal-leaning employer. They would lose their jobs, and this has happened for several years. I don’t think it’s preferable that people are losing their jobs over their points of view. But again, this is also a circumstance where People are talking about, okay, what kind of discourse are we wanting to encourage here? And it’s one thing when you’re talking about having a debate and a disagreement and somebody’s losing their job because they have a certain view about a policy. It’s another thing entirely when you’re talking about somebody who’s using their free speech to celebrate I mean, just a blatant, in broad daylight, assassination of somebody. You know, you start a conversation about what kind of people do you want to associate with, and I don’t think very many people would want to say, yeah, I’m proud to stand by an employee that celebrates just a blatant act of violence, and especially an act of violence against somebody who was facilitating a debate and a civil discourse. Personally, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people losing their jobs over that. But I also, like I said, don’t tend to share my opinions on stuff of this matter. So I think I’d just leave it at that.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, fair enough. I appreciate that. We’ve only got a few minutes left, and with all this, you focus on military and foreign affairs, and so while we’re all focused on this, there’s things happening on the international front. What should people know about that right now?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, a couple of things that I’ve been tracking very closely. One is there’s a military buildup around Venezuela, and it’s You know, ostensibly it’s about, you know, countering the flow of drugs through the region. But, yeah, this is a military buildup that’s been going on for about a month now. And there’s growing pressure on Nicolas Maduro, the president of Venezuela. The U.S. government doesn’t recognize him as legitimate. But that’s something that we should keep a close eye on because that has – That has a possibility of becoming a very critical turning point in our region, especially as we practice control over the Western Hemisphere. That’s something I would just advise people to keep a close eye on. The other thing I’ve been tracking closely has been the developments in the Middle East, particularly with the conflict in the Gaza Strip last week. the Trump administration forwarded to Hamas the latest terms for how they want to bring that conflict to a close after nearly two years of fighting and violence and brutality in the Gaza Strip and in the wider region. And what we saw is that, I guess, Hamas leadership, their political leadership in Qatar was… I guess meeting there to discuss the latest terms, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went ahead and said, okay, we know where they’re at. Five-fix finish, we know where they’re at. We have them. We’re going to wipe them out. It doesn’t look clear that that strike necessarily took out the entirety of the Hamas leadership, so now it becomes a question of, Okay, like where does that leave us with negotiations? Are we closer now to a ceasefire in Gaza? Are the remaining hostages in Gaza at greater risk now of retribution or retaliation? Those are questions I keep in mind. And then we saw Secretary of State Marco Rubio go to Israel over the weekend to – to meet with the Israeli government and to discuss the next steps. So those would be things that I would advise your audience to keep an eye on, and I’ll certainly be keeping an eye on in these coming days as we see developments out of that.
SPEAKER 09 :
So, Ryan Morgan, what’s the best way for people to find you, to follow you, to get your articles? I kind of know the answer to this, but I’m going to throw it over to you.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes. Okay, well, for myself and my great colleagues, the best thing you can do is become a subscriber of the Epoch Times. With my bias admitted here, I think we do a pretty good job of providing a broad view of information from the domestic and the international levels. And we have some really great reporters, so if you want to support us there, I would say go become a subscriber.

And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Check out our website. That’s Kim Monson, M-O-N-S-O-N dot com. Before we get to Mark Auville, who is the president of Grand Lake U.S. Constitution Week, I’ve been asking this question about what people think about firings of people that have been celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And Susan Kochavar texted this in. She said, free speech has consequences. The firings are appropriate. I don’t want teachers or medical personnel or other employees who celebrate killing. It goes to their ability to reason and potential terrible steps that a person might take. This is why free speech is so important. especially speech we do not like. Without free speech, these people’s terrible views would not have been expressed. We need to understand there are people among us who have terrible views. It’s one of the ways we understand what’s going on in our country and around the world. It’s also part of freedom of association. Well done, Susan Kochavar. And Mark Auvil is on the line. He’s the president of Grand Lake U.S. Constitution Week. And Mark Auvil, welcome. It is your 14th anniversary now more than ever. What this little community of Grand Lake is doing is so amazing. Mark Oville.
SPEAKER 17 :
Good morning, Kim. It’s always an honor to be on your show.
SPEAKER 09 :
And so Grand Lake, yeah, you’re up and running.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, so we kicked off Grand Lake, our 14th annual Grand Lake U.S. Constitution Week last night, 5 p.m., with professor uh rob natelson speaking it’s been his 13th year out of 14 years speaking at our event we had a really good turnout we’re in the grand lake center for the week but close to 100 people show up so it was a great turnout for monday night and yes when you were talking about what susan wrote in her article we couldn’t have a better speaker For Constitution week the Professor Jonathan Turley and him and his speech being free speech in an age of rage. What an appropriate topic for us to be discussing here at Constitution week.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and there’s a special event that you were able to just solidify, and that is a meet and greet with Professor Turley. And that will be on Saturday evening at the Gateway Inn. And that’s going to be a great opportunity. And as we look at different opportunities where we can decide to go meet someone, listen to them, I think we take for granted that we’ll always have that opportunity. And obviously that’s not the case. So this is a great opportunity for people to meet friends. Jonathan Turley up close and personal. And also that you can buy a ticket to the event or you can buy a ticket to the event and also include the book. That’s $60 for that or just $45 for the event. And people can buy their tickets by going to GrandLakeUSConstitutionWeek.com. But, as you say, it’s so amazingly appropriate that the keynote for this Grand Lake U.S. Constitution Week is Jonathan Turley talking about free speech in an age of rage. This is so important, Mark Alville.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s so provincial that this lined up like this. And I encourage your listeners, if they want to come on out to our event and to see Jonathan Turley speak, that’s September the 20th, Saturday. He’ll be speaking around 1 p.m. in the town park. That’s the outdoor town park there. And also, if they want to do the meet and greet, we encourage them to get their tickets. You can get them online at our webpage, We’ve sold about 27 tickets already, so we do have a lot of interested people. We probably have to cap the event to about 75 people. I think it’s 80 people per code for the event in the gateway in the event center that we’re using there.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and so get your tickets. And we do want to say thank you to five of your really big sponsors, and that is the Gateway Inn, Sun Outdoors, Rick and Cindy Johnson, who own the Grand Escape Cottages, Hydrotech Plumbing, and Mike and Jackie Tompkins. And you’ve worked closely with Mike and Jackie over all these years for Grand Lake U.S. Constitution Week.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, we miss Mike and Jackie. They couldn’t make it out this year. They’re in South Carolina. Yeah, Mike’s been our chairman for almost since the beginning of Constitution Week. We really miss him. We miss Jackie. But we are also presenting our speeches on Facebook Live, and so we were hoping that he was watching yesterday. We gave him a big shout-out, him and Jackie. But if your listeners are concerned about security, I wanted to give everybody an update. So the mayor of Grand Lake has been in touch directly with the sheriff. She knows him personally. And then I’ve been in touch with one of the lieutenants who provided the security detail for Ron Paul last year. And the Grand County Sheriff’s Department is, it’s an amazing department. If you were to meet these deputies, these are some of the best law enforcement gentlemen and ladies in the industry. And so anyways, They are providing a deputy during the week, Monday through Friday. We have our speakers at noon and at 5 o’clock. So they’re posting a deputy in our event during the week, and they’re also going to have a patrol car out front, and that’s what happened last night. So they’re providing security for us during the week at the Grand Lake Center. And then it looks like we’re going to have a more detailed security presence on Saturday. They’re going to have a number of deputies dedicated for our event to watch the audience and make sure everybody’s safe and secure. Okay. We are making sure that security is the number one priority for our speakers and our attendees. So I encourage everybody to come out and enjoy the event.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and Saturday is such a great event. And I looked at the weather. It looks like it’s supposed to be a beautiful day. Now, hopefully it’s not going to have, let’s see, let’s take a look at, well, it looks like there might be some clouds, which that could make it a little iffy for the flyover. But there will be the parade, the flyover, the event, and Jonathan Turley speaking. Then Steve Watts will, saxophonist with Dot Zero will perform. and then the event, the meet and greet that evening, and then culminating with the fireworks over Grand Lake. It’s going to be an absolute beautiful experience and, of course, great speakers each day. And how can people get more information about what’s going on, Mark Auville?
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, they can go to our website, www.grandlakeusconstitutionweek.com. Our schedule is posted there and all the information on the speakers, all the events, The meet and greet, you can sign up there, or you can get tickets at our merchandise table at the event itself. But that’s the best place. And they can also go to Facebook for any updates. We have a Facebook link. So once they go to the webpage, they can find that link and click on it and get some more information from the Facebook page.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. Well, I can’t wait to see you on Friday. And again, that website is GrandLakeUSConstitutionWeek.com. Mark Oville, thank you, and thank you for all the great work of you, your team, and the volunteers.
SPEAKER 17 :
Look forward to seeing you, Kim, this Friday into Saturday.
SPEAKER 09 :
Looking forward to it. And this came in on the text line from Yvonne. She said inciting violence is a crime and celebration of violence is incitement of violence. So thank you for connecting that dot. I really appreciate all of your perspective. on this. And our quote for the end of the show is from James Madison. He said the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judiciary in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. 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 and god bless america
