Join Kim Monson as she navigates through the intricate web of political, social, and economic issues that shape our world today. In this episode, she delves into the complexities of early childhood taxing districts and scrutinizes the legislative processes that often leave the public puzzled. Kim illustrates how policies, often veiled in intricate jargon, can affect big businesses and small ones differently, leading to a broader discussion on freedom versus force. With lively debates and expert guests, the show promises to unravel today’s most pressing topics through the lens of clarity and truth.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s the Kim Monson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 22 :
An early childhood taxing district? What on earth is that?
SPEAKER 16 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 22 :
I don’t think that we should be passing legislation that is so complicated that people kind of throw up their hands and say, I can’t understand that.
SPEAKER 16 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 22 :
And it’s not fair just because you’re a big business that you get a break on this and the little guy doesn’t.
SPEAKER 16 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 22 :
Indeed. Let’s have a conversation. And welcome to the Kim Monson Show. Thank you so much for joining us. You eat your treasure, your value, you have purpose. Today’s drive for excellence. Take care of your heart, your soul, your mind and your body. My friends, we were made for this moment in history. Thank you to the team. That’s producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa. Amanda and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. Happy Friday, Producer Joe. Happy Friday, Kim. And it’s been quite the week. And we’ll go through some of these headlines. We’ve got a great show planned again for you today. So fasten your seatbelts. A show comes to you because of our sponsors. I want to say thank you to Laramie Energy for their gold sponsorship of the show because it is reliable, efficient, affordable and abundant power. from naturally occurring hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas, and coal that powers our lives, fuels our hopes and dreams, and empowers us to change our own personal climate to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Yeah, let’s continue on. Check out the website. That is Kim Monson, M-O-N-S-O-N dot com. Make sure that you are signed up for our Sunday newsletter and you can just go ahead and input that there. You’ll get first look then at our upcoming guests as well as our most recent essays. And the one that we published last week, Alan Thomas’s What is a Fascist? It is a very important piece. I’d highly recommend that you check that out. As you know, we search for truth and clarity on these issues 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 use force to implement it. And it’s never compassionate nor altruistic to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, freedom, livelihood, opportunity, childhoods, or lives via force. Force can be a weapon, but policy, unpredictable and excessive taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, The agenda of the World Economic Forum and globalist elites playing out at the United Nations, this Colorado State Legislature with this governor, but also we see it at the local and county level as well. And I watch these headlines all the time, so I think everybody knows this. But it’s important to connect the dot that Larry Fink, who is the head of BlackRock, is also now the head of the World Economic Forum. And BlackRock has its fingers on all kinds of affordable housing and solar and wind industrial projects. And it’s important to connect the dots to understand that the globalist elites really They want to be in charge of everything, and they can’t be in charge of everything if you have a robust middle class. And the whole American idea was that everyday people could thrive and prosper, create wealth for themselves with this American idea of all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. The globalist elites look at them, and they will – They will be in charge of all of the rest of us minions out here. And so we are in an epic battle right now for the American idea. This is no longer Democrat nor Republican. This is whether or not you believe in this idea that all men are created equal with rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, or you don’t. And that is the epic battle that we are in, a battle of ideas. On the show… We focus on the issues, and we’ll mention the people that are pushing these issues, but we really are working diligently to stay out of all the personality fighting out there. And so, again, that is our goal, and it’s so easy in politics to get to a point where people are pointing fingers and calling names and saying, and getting off what the real issues are, and that’s why we have to be disciplined, look at these things with reason, and that’s what is so important. One of the headlines, this is from Newsmax, it says, “…the U.S. girds for travel chaos as flights are slashed over the government shutdown.” And I flew last weekend and then back in on Tuesday. And it was pretty amazing. There weren’t that many people flying. In fact, on the way out on my trip, I had a complete row to myself. And on the way back, there were only 90 people on the flight. I have to tell you, it was actually quite pleasant. And so it’s going to be interesting. You would think that at some point in time, these businesses would start to put the pressure on the Democrats to say, hey, you know what, we need to get America back to work. And we do not need to be funding all of the stuff for people that have come here illegally. So stay tuned. It sure is interesting what’s happening right now. But next Tuesday is Veterans Day. And my friends, we need to honor those that have put on the uniform and been willing to give their lives for our liberty. And liberty is the responsible exercise of freedom. And my friend Paula Sarles, who is the president of the USMC Memorial Foundation, lives this every day. And she helps so many veterans. And we’ve got her on the line right now. Paula Sarles, welcome to the show. Well, thanks for having me, Kim. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. And a great event tomorrow afternoon out at the memorial. I plan on being there. I have a morning event with a veteran, and it looks like timing will be that I can be at both places. So I’m excited about that, Paula.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, yay. We’re really happy about that. That’s great. And it’s going to be a good day. Well, tell us about it. Well, we have our ceremony, but we normally swear troops in before the ceremony. But because of the shutdown, we won’t be able to do that. And we’re kind of disappointed, but we adapt and overcome. And so we’ll have young Marines there doing the color guard, and we’ll be collecting toys for tots. So anybody who wants to donate for Toys for Tots can stop by and do that and come to the ceremony, and it’ll be a lot of fun. And our guest speaker is Jesse Clay, who is an HMC1. He was a corpsman, and then he became a Navy SEAL. And he’s a four-time heavyweight world champion Kumite.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, yeah, it’s going to be super interesting. On this Toys for Tots, it should be a new gift, a new toy, right, and unwrapped so that they know what’s in it, right? Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. And we have helped over 200,000 kids get toys in Colorado in the past, so. It’s a really good program, and we appreciate all the help we get for that. And because of the shutdown, we really need to help the reservists manage the program right now, so them and the Marine Corps League. So we need to help get this going.
SPEAKER 22 :
Okay. So how can people get more information regarding the details on this, Paula Sarles?
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s all on our website at usmcmemorialfoundation.org, and there’s a red banner at the top. You just click on that, and it’ll tell you everything about it. usmcmemorialfoundation.org.
SPEAKER 22 :
Okay, and changing gears just a little bit, on the remodel, as you’re working to make that a reality, the pathways of service, people can buy a brick, to honor their loved one’s military service or their military service and receive a great certificate. And Paula, many times, for example, my father’s passed on, but he was a simple man. He didn’t really want anything. He felt he had everything he needed and yet never knew what to get him. And so I bought him a brick to be on one of the pathways of service to honor his service in the Air Force. And I think it was the best gift I’d ever given him, Paula.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, I’ve heard that from a lot of people, and everybody is very humble that serves. I haven’t really known anybody that wasn’t. And these bricks, you know, the name and where they serve, their rank, whatever, it’s going to be there for other people to look them up and learn about their service and We plan to have stories in the center when we get the visitor center done about individual Marines and other military services. This isn’t just for Marines. It’s for everybody. So we encourage people to get a brick, whether it’s for yourself or for someone you love, and just donate using that program and get a certificate to share with them and Hopefully, in a few years, we’ll have the bricks laid.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, from your lips to God’s ears, I know you’re working diligently on that, and I think it’s going to be a reality. And so, again, that website is usmcmemorialfoundation.org. Paula, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. I so appreciate all that you do to honor our military and our veterans. Thank you.
SPEAKER 08 :

SPEAKER 13 :
There’s so much noise coming at us. Sometimes it is difficult to make sense of it all. How can you sift through the clamor for your attention and get to the truth? The Kim Monson Show is here to help. Kim searches for truth and clarity by examining issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Tune in to the Kim Monson Show each weekday, 6 to 8 a.m. with encores 1 to 2 p.m. and 10 to 11 p.m. on KLZ 560 AM, KLZ 100.7 FM. The KLZ website, the KLZ app, and Alexa. Play KLZ. Shows can also be found at KimMonson.com, Spotify, and iTunes.
SPEAKER 22 :
It is Friday. Welcome back to The Kim Monson Show. Check out our website. That is KimMonson, M-O-N-S-O-N.com. And another great sponsor of the show is Hooters Restaurants. They have locations in Loveland, Westminster, and in, I guess, Aurora on Parker Road. And a great place to get together to watch the games. I guess the Broncos won last night. I was working on things, so I didn’t watch it. But then it sounds like maybe it was a squeaker. I’m not quite sure. But a great place to watch all that stuff is Hooters restaurants. And they do have great specials Monday through Friday for lunch and for happy hour. As well, our word of the day today is vamoose. It’s V-A-M-O-O-S-E. It could be to leave hurriedly or, number two, to depart quickly or to depart from, to run away or to flee. And there is a report from the center square that there are Coloradans that are – I guess, vamoosing from Colorado. The Center Square said this, that nearly 450,000 moves occurred in Colorado over the past year, but more residents left the state than arrived. In total, Colorado saw a net population loss of nearly 9,500. This is according to a study conducted by Hire a Helper, which looked at data tracked between June 2024 and May 2025. While many states saw overall population gains, Colorado’s outbound migration slightly outpaced inbound. And overall, Colorado is the ninth least popular state to move to in the past year. I remember when Colorado, everybody wanted to live here. And one has to ask, well, why? What is going on here? Well, you know what? I think it’s public policy. I think it’s this radical activists that have taken over the Democrat Party and control the governor’s mansion and control the state legislature. And the people that they’re killing the economics of our state. And so people are leaving. And now young people still may be trying to come here tomorrow. because they like the Colorado idea of hiking and biking, but you also have to work. And there are those, the radical activists, that ultimately want to cut off human interaction with the wild land, as they call it. And so what’s going to happen here? They’re probably trying to put all these young people into these – cookie cutter apartment buildings and want them to not have their cars. And actually, I think people would like the freedom to choose. I think that’s what the bottom line is, the freedom to choose. And that’s why we need to get rid of all these subsidies. I honestly can’t believe all these apartment buildings, who’s going to be living in them? I can’t quite figure that out. But they’re being subsidized. So apartment developers, they just will keep turning that out because there’s money in doing so because the government is subsidizing that. And we’re taking on all kinds of debt at the local and the county and the state level. And we’ve got to say no to all of this. So with that, though, let’s get over here to… Our quote of the day, since it is Friday, I go to the Medal of Honor quote book that has been published by the Center for American Values, which is located in Pueblo. And again, as we’re getting into Christmas and Hanukkah, this is a lovely gift. I don’t do a lot of stocking stuffers, but if that’s something that you do, this would be a good thing to be a stocking stuffer. And it’s small enough. I think Drew said that they made it small enough that… A soldier could actually, I think, put it in his side pocket in his pants or her pants. And so I’d highly recommend that you get this book and put it in your freedom library at home. You can do that by going to AmericanValueCenter.org, AmericanValueCenter.org. And our quote today is from Raymond M. Claussen, Jr., United States Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipient, born 1947, died 2004. This was actions taken January 31, 1970. And this is the citation. It says, while serving with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 263 during operations against enemy forces. Participating in a helicopter rescue mission to extract elements of a platoon which had inadvertently entered a minefield while attacking enemy positions, Private First Class Clausen skillfully guided the helicopter pilot to a landing in an area cleared by one of several mine explosions. With 11 Marines wounded and one dead, and the remaining eight Marines holding their positions for fear of detonating other mines, Private First Class Clausen quickly leaped from the helicopter and, in the face of enemy fire, moved across the extremely hazardous mine-laden area to assist in carrying casualties to the waiting helicopter and in placing them aboard. Despite the ever present threat of further mine explosions, he continued his valiant efforts, leaving the comparatively safe area of the helicopter on six separate occasions to carry out his rescue efforts. On one occasion, while he was carrying one of the wounded, another mine detonated, killing a corpsman and wounding three other men. Only when he was certain that all Marines were safely aboard did he signal the pilot to lift the helicopter. By the courageous, determined, and aspiring efforts in the face of utmost danger, Private First Class Clausen upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the U.S. Naval Service. And this is his quote. He said, if one dishonors God or his country, he dishonors himself. And that’s Raymond M. Clausen, Jr., United States Marine Corps. Next thing that I wanted to mention is there are little successes. As we look at the election results from Tuesday. I have – my gut says that there’s odd stuff that has occurred. I’ve had several people reach out where they’ve experienced some odd stuff with ballots or the election. If you – know of something that’s curious regarding the election, please text or email me. And the text line is 720-605-0647. My email is kim at kimmonson, M-O-N-S-O-N dot com. And I find this so interesting, what happened in Littleton. And we’ve got to get the Rooted in Littleton people back on the show. And this is a report, I think it’s by the Center Square. Oh, no, this is the Littleton Independent Report. and it says littleton voters um made their choices for city council they re-elected kyle schlechter as mayor joel zinc will serve at the art at large council member meryl stillwell district one amanda henderson for district three these are people that um are really pushed on this agenda my understanding is regarding density and really which will decimate single-family neighborhoods. However, even though they got elected, the people in Littleton did pass ballot measure 3A, which that is where the question regarding density. And it passed by a 10% margin among all three counties. 3A was ignited by citizen group rooted in Littleton and went through a petition stage before landing on the ballot. It declares Littleton’s residential zones to be reset to as they were on January 1, 2025, reverting some city ordinances that have passed since, such as the allowance of accessory dwelling units. Proponents of 3A say the measure seeks to protect single-family housing and comes after some citizens felt blindsided by the city’s failed rezoning effort in January that would have permitted duplexes and multiplexes to be built in all residential zones. And again, not even taking into account parking. Opponents said the ballot question implements a citywide HOA zoning policy that would restrict a homeowner’s freedom to build an ADU and could cost the city thousands in litigation costs and risk state funding. That’s where it is right there, risk state funding, because there was legislation that was passed that basically polis and company can withhold state funding to municipalities if they don’t follow their higher density legislation that they have passed. And this is a place where, and that is the agenda of the World Economic Forum. And so this is a big deal that they’re in Littleton. They have been able to push back on that. And it is important that we become engaged in these issues. And we’re going to stay tuned on all that is happening with that rooted in Littleton. My friends, with the results of Tuesday, I know it seems somewhat daunting, but we cannot give up. And I really think that we continue to search for truth on all of these issues and the truth ultimately. We will find that, and as it’s biblical, and the truth shall set us free. So that’s why every Monday through Friday, we are going to be searching for truth and clarity and stay on these principles of the American founding that all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. And what we’re seeing on mainstream media is trying to get people whipped up and as they’re hiding the real big issues out there. And so we’ll continue to try to get through all of that chaos and confusion and get to the truth on that. Regarding Trump. We must make sure that our elected representatives, all the way up to the presidency, adhere to our Constitution. The Constitution is a North Star. It is a foundation. And when we start messing around with it, that’s where we get ourselves into big trouble. And the radical activists that have taken over the Democrat Party really would like to – they’re just trying to stomp all over the Constitution. And the Constitution was put in place to support this vision of our Declaration. And so we are at our 1775 moment now. We’re in our third founding of our country. And as we read the quotes from our Medal of Honor recipients and – I think it was Kathleen from Boulder that called in yesterday to think that we gave all this blood and treasure in Vietnam when the narrative was that we were going to try to protect those countries in Southeast Asia from falling to communism and then have us being voting in communism, not only in New York, even though somebody may not have communist behind their name. If they’re pushing policies that are communistic, then we have to call it what it is. And so we are in a big battle of ideas. I appreciate all your support as we engage in this. And all that happens because of our sponsors. We will talk with Alicia Garcia and or Teddy Collins in the second hour with the second syndicate regarding what does the election results mean for our right to keep and bear firearms to protect ourselves against bad actors.
SPEAKER 14 :

He is heard live daily on nearly 200 stations across the United States on American Family Radio Network and is host of the Alex McFarland Show on NRB-TV. Alex serves as the director of worldview for Charis Bible College in Woodland Park, Colorado. And I wanted to talk with him about the election, particularly for mayor in New York and in Minneapolis. Dr. McFarlane, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, good morning. Thank you for having me.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, it is good to have you. And the results of the election on Tuesday for people that love America, I think we feel like we’ve had a gut punch. The idea that the big apple has a Muslim mayor who all indication is hates America is of great concern. So break this down for us.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, well, you’re right. It is like a gut punch. And, you know, I’m old enough to not only remember 9-11, but about 24 hours after the planes hit the trade towers, I was in New York City. literally in the rubble of Ground Zero, ministering with the Billy Graham ministry. And I was there for two weeks, met with Mayor Giuliani multiple times, and was at all over. And I guess here’s the really demoralizing thing, that a Muslim would be mayor of the city that lost 3,000 residents because of Islam. I mean, in related news, Why don’t we make Hirohito the national patron saint of Hawaii, who perpetrated Pearl Harbor? And for younger people, that comparison is often lost on them. But here’s another irony. The city with the densest concentration of Jewish people anywhere outside of Israel is has now elected a mayor that is vocally anti-Semitic. Here’s another irony. A city with 105 known billionaires now has a mayor who has been on record saying there should be no billionaires. We should have a law preventing anyone from accumulating that much wealth. So it is really ironic. The 13th largest economy in the world, Manhattan, is now in the hands of a Marxist. So, you know, the American voter is just a strange animal, Kim, for real.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yes, true. Election integrity is very important to me. And I think that at least here in Colorado, we’ve got a lot of different issues. inflection points regarding the integrity of our elections. So there’s that component. And we’ve got to make sure that we have free, fair, honest and transparent elections. But Dr. McFarland, we also have to engage in this culture battle. that is going on, which I think that is really your life’s work regarding worldviews. And so we can have excellent election integrity, but if we’re not winning the narrative of this idea of America that all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, if we are not focused on that and winning that narrative, then it doesn’t matter really regarding election integrity.
SPEAKER 04 :
I applaud you. That is the greatest observation. And it’s something that a lot of people miss. Okay, I’m a Christian. I believe in Jesus. I think that all people need the Lord Jesus in their life. But even aside from that… every American citizen needs to be informed and needs to know that there is a philosophical foundation that makes our Constitution work. And this is apart from the gospel of Christianity, as important as that is. But the philosophical foundation that only enables our Constitution to make sense is morality. Now, Jefferson called it self-evident truth, or you can call it natural law. Many people rightly call it the Judeo-Christian worldview. But like you say, that human beings are created by God, All men are created equal, and all men have rights that are, as the founders said, inalienable or unalienable. Those words are used synonymously, but what it means is the human rights that you have from God can’t legitimately be taken away. And those rights, the technical word is penumbra. This grouping of rights, broadly speaking, is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Now, there are what we call natural rights, the right to life. Unless it is self-defense or national defense, no one has the right to take your life from you. That’s why we have legal protection for the unborn. And so that’s why all abortions are unconstitutional. And even I had a friend, a very brilliant guy named Christopher Hitchens. He was an atheist and he was a very ardent pro-lifer, not based on any Christian conviction. And a lot of people on the left assume that. that the legal protection for the unborn is simply a Christian position. Now, it absolutely comports with our Christianity, but really, abortion and gay marriage and any other artificial, contrived right is not constitutional. Now, I realize we’re kind of deep in the weeds here, but the point is, millions of people don’t even understand we’re not a democracy, we’re a republic. And we’re not a republic in a vacuum. We’re a republic that rests on a foundation, and that foundation, which is constantly under attack by the left, that foundation is objective morality. And if we don’t teach this, that we must acknowledge morals, and that’s what enables our government to make sense. John Adams said this, many founders observed this, that apart from belief in morals that come from God, our Constitution is just not even functional or workable.
SPEAKER 22 :
Okay, so going back to Christopher Hitchens, I had no idea that he believed in the sanctity of life. So tell me more about that. Because he was an atheist, a very famous atheist.
SPEAKER 04 :
He was very famous. We debated. We emailed. Sadly, he died of esophageal cancer in 2012, December of 2012. We were emailing back and forth up until about 48 hours before he passed. And his ultimate spiritual faith, I don’t know. But here’s how he reasoned. much to the chagrin of some of his fellow atheists. But he said, look, the U.S. Constitution promises in the Declaration that all have rights. Among these, life. So the most fundamental right that is inalienable, in other words, can’t legitimately be taken away, is life. So liberty and the pursuits of happiness mean nothing if you’re not alive. So he said, with Roe v. Wade, we just, with a stroke of a pen, denied a subset of the community 30% of their natural rights. He said, there’s no real justification for that. And he said, if we have rights for all people, then you can’t just out of thin air say, except for… this one set call the unborn because what would prevent us from them saying for from later saying well you know what um because here’s how the left would reason yes but an unplanned pregnancy is expensive well so is caring for a person in a coma an unplanned pregnancy is inconvenient well so is caring for an elderly parent um hitchens said if we feel like we have the right just arbitrarily to deny a subset of the population some of their natural rights, in that case the unborn, then what would prevent us later from, whenever something’s inconvenient, embarrassing, or expensive, I can deny rights. Why can’t I euthanize an elderly parent that’s a pain in the neck?
SPEAKER 22 :
Or an elderly parent that has a big estate.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, exactly. You know, an insurance or inheritance euthanization. And so, yes, Hitchens was a pro-lifer, and I can send you some of his stories. Flawlessly reasoned quotes. Now, our country, natural rights versus artificial rights, natural rights apply to immutable characteristics. And this is yet another reason that we need to teach civics. Immutable characteristics are things that we can’t change. And I’ve got the great privilege of teaching on these things not far from where you are at Woodland Park in the School of Practical Government at Karis Bible College. But a Harvard Law Review about a year ago, somebody wrote an article, The Case Against Immutability. And this is very dangerous because scholars… at least scholars that think through their positions, realize that, look, maleness and femaleness are immutable, can’t be changed. You’re a human, can’t be changed. We’re not a furry, we’re not an Ewok, we’re not a Jedi, we’re humans. And our Constitution assumes objective moral truth. But our Constitution also assumes that we humans will be rational enough to acknowledge certain unchanging characteristics. And all of these progressive, fluid ideas, like, watch out. Whenever somebody like Hillary Clinton says that the Constitution is a living document, be careful. Because that is code speak to mean we want to deconstruct reality and build back better. By the way, Michael Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Ludwig Wittgenstein that were some of the philosophers that are kind of the precursors of woke, diverse, DEI relativism. There is no ultimate truth. I make my own truth, they would say. I deconstruct what was to impose what utopian vision I want. And so now there is in the legal world these sophisticated, they’re false, but they’re these deep, circuitous, Essays being written to try to legitimize the left’s quest to tear down reality.
SPEAKER 22 :
Boy, Dr. McFarland, this is very heavy stuff, very important stuff. And we’re going to continue the discussion.

SPEAKER 22 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. That’s easy for me to say, Kim Monson Show. That’s M-O-N-S-O-N dot com. And we are talking with Dr. Alex McFarlane. He’s a youth religion and culture expert, author of 20 books. You can catch him on 200 stations across the U.S. on American Family Radio. And he is the host of the Alex McFarlane Show. He also serves as the director of worldview for Karis Bible College right here in Woodland Park. And we’re talking about the election on Friday. And in New York, a Muslim mayor was elected. And in Minneapolis, a candidate to become mayor was defeated, which that’s a pretty big deal, Dr. McFarlane.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I mean, and there were some, you know, there were a few victories around the nation. But, you know, overall, it’s funny. There are like four kind of voters. There are the conservatives that are engaged. There are the people that really are conservative but are maybe apathetic or unengaged. Then there are the really uninformed people. that are willing to vote for whoever promises the most free stuff and easy money. And then there are the voters that I think are overtly malicious. They hate the U.S. Constitution, and they want to try to move us toward a globalist, socialist, huge machine to… the workers and the recipients. And so, I mean, those of us that are conservative, Christian, conservative engaged, we’re only like 25% of that pie. And so there are the unengaged, the uninformed but engaged, and then the highly engaged, you know, deconstructionists that are the activists, the AOCs, the Democrats, You know, we’ve really if we love God and country and care about the preservation, if we want to retain what we’ve had and come back to American prosperity, liberty, greatness, then we have to teach like what you’re doing. You’re informing people and we have to get engaged and influence others to be engaged as well.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, and I think that percentage of people that want to destroy America is a small but very loud percentage. And to your point, they pander to the uninformed. And each year I do a voter’s guide. I said, we want people to be informed voters, not influenced voters. And what happens is consultants on both sides of the table say, uh will uh just use tv social media just to put out sound bites to influence people to vote for their candidate or their issue whatever that is we must continue to strive to get to a point where people are informed voters and to your point A moral country. Thomas Jefferson knew that when we got to a point where 51% of the electorate thought that they could get, and I’m paraphrasing, free stuff, and there is no free stuff. It’s somebody else’s money. Then we’re in a world of hurt. And we’re there right now, I think, Dr. McFarland. But going to New York. is a new york is a city of immigrants i used to go there on a regular basis because i was in the ladies clothing business and i would go back for each of the openings for each of the seasons and i i love the city i won’t go back now right now where it is but so many people have been um come they’ve come to the country both illegally and legally uh through ice asylee programs and And they don’t understand the American idea. The countries they come from, government did everything. So it’s not unique when Mondami comes out and says, hey, government’s going to do everything for you. They came from that. And so it’s not a new idea to them.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, exactly. And, you know, like Reagan said, you know, government is not the solution. Government is the problem. But not only do many migrants coming here not really understand the American system, but so many American young people don’t understand the American system. And, you know, I just really would beg parents to. get your kids out of government schools. I don’t say public schools. I say government schools, because government schools are not educating, not only for civics, but even really for morality and truth. And I’ve got to tell you, New York City, when the businesses and the people that provide employment make the mass exodus that is already in process, Where’s all the money going to come from? And I thank God that we have Donald Trump in the office in the White House right now that can maybe put some boundaries around Mamdani through withholding federal funding from various programs that otherwise would have gone to New York City. And I’ve got to tell you, one of the things that is very disconcerting about America is our nation’s capacity to burn up money. So much largesse and so much money is just wasted on government programs. If a free market economy does not provide the money to run the city of New York, I hope Trump has the ability to prevent federal money from you know, being wasted on a New York City that has become this little, it might become this little enclave of communism within a democratic republic.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, we have to turn this money spigot off. And we should not be using federal money for grants. We should not be funding it to different states and cities. For example, if California wants to go off the rails, then California has to be responsible for that. That’s what the founders said. We’re going to have all these little different Petri dishes of all these little states, and they can make the decisions. ideally within the confines of the Constitution. But when you’re talking about federal money going to New York, that is money from everybody else in America and also debt that is being incurred that our children will have to pay off. And so we’ve got to turn that spigot off regardless of who’s the mayor there.
SPEAKER 04 :
Exactly, exactly. I mean, if California and these states, I love what you said, these petri dishes, if they want to engage in these very costly, very wasteful economic experiments, I mean, that’s their business, but don’t expect the rest of us to fund it or subsidize it. And think about that. How is that just That our earnings are confiscated and redistributed and that done in such wasteful ways for those who want work. Why should the rest of us fund it, those of us that will work?
SPEAKER 22 :
Dr. McFarland, you are so on spot, and we are out of time. I don’t know how this has gone so quickly, but I would love to have you back, and so we’ll go to work and try to arrange that and make that happen.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, I would love to talk about the Middle East, my brand new book on 100 Bible Questions and Answers on Prophecy. But thank you. I have to commend you. It is so rare to be on an interview where the host allows you to make a point and flesh out a line of reasoning. You’re an absolute pro and a joy to be on with. And I thank you.
SPEAKER 22 :
Wow. Well, thank you, Dr. Alex McFarland. We definitely will get you back on the show then. Our quote for the end of the show is Patrick Henry. He says, We are not weak if we make the proper use of those means which the God of nature has placed in our power. The battle is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the active, and the brave. So today, be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way. My friends, you are not alone. God bless you. God bless America. Stay tuned for hour number two.

SPEAKER 16 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.

I don’t think that we should be passing legislation that is so complicated that people kind of throw up their hands and say, I can’t understand that.
SPEAKER 16 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 22 :
And it’s not fair just because you’re a big business that you get a break on this and the little guy doesn’t.
SPEAKER 16 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 22 :
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. That’s Producer Joe, Luke, Rachel, Zach, Echo, Charlie, Mike, Teresa, Amanda, and all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting. It is Friday, Producer Joe. happy friday kim happy friday a great hour the first hour if you missed it you can hear that from one to two in the afternoon on all klz 560 platforms this hour’s rebroadcast 10 to 11 at night and then you can catch it all on on my website the podcast is there as well as spotify and itunes check out the website that is kimmonson.com make sure you are signed up for our weekly email newsletter that goes out on sundays so that you know who the guests are going to be or who are scheduled and also our most recent essays alan thomas we recently published his what is a fascist excellent piece so be sure and check that out i want to say thank you to laramie energy for their gold sponsorship of the show because it is reliable efficient affordable and abundant power from oil natural gas and coal that powers our lives fuels our hopes and dreams and empowers us to change our own personal climate to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer. And if you need some help on your own personal climate with your furnace or your air conditioner, be sure and reach out to Ben’s Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling. And their information is on my website, so you can be sure and check that out. Our word of the day is vamoose. It’s V-A-M-O-O-S-E. It can be an intransitive verb, to leave hurriedly, or a verb, to depart quickly or to depart from, to run away or to flee. And the recent report is that more people vamoosed from Colorado this last year instead of moving in. And so your challenge is to use the word vamoose, V-A-M-O-O-S-E, in a sentence today. Our quote of the day comes from the Medal of Honor quote book from the Center for American Values, which I would highly recommend that you have in your Freedom Library at home. It’s a great gift for Christmas or for Hanukkah. And it’s quotes from a number of the Medal of Honor recipients that are featured in the Portraits of Valor down at the Center for American Values in Pueblo. I’d recommend also that you put it on your bucket list to visit the center. And during the holidays with kids home, that’s a great day trip from the metro area to go do that. But this is a quote from Raymond M. Clausen, Jr., United States Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipient. He was born in 1947. He died in 2004. Actions January 31, 1970. He said this, And again, that’s Raymond M. Clausen, Jr., And as you know, we are an independent voice. What that means is that I purchased my airtime. And I am so pleased with all of our sponsors. All of them strive for excellence. And we have two of them on right now. That is Teddy Collins and Alicia Garcia, who are the co-founders of the Second Syndicate, which what they’re doing is working to bring all these – it’s so crazy – that we can have something that we want to protect, such as the Second Amendment. And then what happens, there’s different groups and they start to be different disparate voices and not getting along. And Teddy and Alicia said, hey, we’ve got to come together because if we’re divided, we cannot protect this right. So, Teddy Collins, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thanks for having me, Kim. Good morning.
SPEAKER 22 :
And Alicia Garcia, good to have you as well. Welcome. Good morning. So, Teddy, let’s go to you first regarding the results of the election on Tuesday. For those that love the American idea of all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, it was a tough day regarding those results. What’s your read on all this, Teddy?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I mean, we saw losses across the board except for in, you know, Weld County and El Paso County. U.S. and the state, where they had got out and done the campaigning, right, and done the messaging, right. We saw school boards go to left-fist, and people that want to, I mean, several of these individuals actually want to disarm security and police from schools and not allow them to be on school campuses completely. It’s crazy. It’s crazy, Kevin.
SPEAKER 22 :
I’m speechless on that one, Teddy. You and Alicia and Rosia are working on helping educators, school staff with the FASTER program, those that want to become proficient with a firearm, to be able to carry a firearm in a school. in in case a bad actor shows up it only makes sense to me teddy uh teachers and students they want to be safe and if you disarm first of all the school resource officers and get them out of the school who is there to protect the children when the bad actor comes in what happens does a teacher throw the trash can at him i mean it doesn’t make any sense teddy
SPEAKER 05 :
In fact, I know several schools that have no armed guard whatsoever, which is ridiculous. And I’ve asked some teachers at my daughter’s schools, you know, what are your plans? And they’re like, oh, we have a baseball bat. Well, good luck.
SPEAKER 22 :
Yeah. Right, right. Well, Alicia, I think we’ve got to get to a point where parents are demanding that we make our school safe again, Alicia.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s exactly what we need is we need the community to start exercising their voices and getting involved because not being involved is a choice. And by silencing yourself, you’re proving that indeed it is not important to you. And we’re seeing so many people exercising their First Amendment right and other things and other topics. It’s time to start doing that for the children. It’s time to start doing that for the Second Amendment. And I’ve been encouraging everybody, you know, not only on the weekends in my concealed carry classes or renewal classes, but in conversations like this to, you know, it’s time to come out of the gun closet, folks. It’s time to be okay with being gun owners. It’s time to be open about your gun ownership and your support of the Second Amendment because this right was in place to hold tyrants accountable. And that’s exactly what’s happening is we are living in a state of tyranny right now here in the state of Colorado. So why are we not doing something about it? Why are we not holding these politicians accountable and pushing back and saying, no, this is what we want done. And that’s why we’re working with Faster Colorado in order to make sure that we, the people, can do something about protecting our children and supporting the teachers that want to be armed or the staffers, whoever wants to be armed.
SPEAKER 22 :
So, Alicia, you have a drawing for those that contribute. And for every $5, their name is put into the drawing. I’ve contributed. I have my fingers crossed that I win. But tell us about this drawing and what the prize is.
SPEAKER 10 :
So we are doing a giveaway for every $5 donated to our Give, Send, Go fundraiser to armed educators that enters them into a giveaway to win a custom engraved Springfield 1911 that was custom engraved by the Damage Factory, a very, very amazing gun shop in Greenwood Village. So that is an incentive for people to get involved and donate because it costs about $1,000 for every educator that wants to be armed to go to the FAFSA program to be able to participate. So being that $1,000 is kind of a lot of money for educators out there, we want to alleviate that for them. And we want to work with, you know, whoever wants to work with us to make sure that we can give them that incentive, take care of them, and get them the training that they need. without putting a dent in their pocket because this is our opportunity as people to show that we’re taking initiative to be solution-oriented.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, and Alicia, also there’s the program, but then these staff, teachers, they need to be able to purchase their firearm, have the proper holster, all of that, and that costs money as well. So that’s another thing that you are working on funding with this giveaway.
SPEAKER 10 :
Absolutely. We want them training with the equipment that they’re going to be carrying with. And that is not a blanket statement across the board for, you know, hey, everybody gets Glock 17s or Glock 19s. A gun is a very personal choice, and the person who’s wielding that tool should be able to choose it and decide which one works best for themselves, for their body chemistry that they’re the most confident with. And that’s the tool we want them using to train with. So we want to make sure that everybody has exactly what they need in order to be effective. Our children are truly the future, and we need to protect them. So we want to make sure that they have everything they need to be effective in doing that.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, we have a responsibility to do so. Alicia, tell us quickly about your concealed carry class. And also, it’s not just with firearms, but how people can protect themselves against bad actors.
SPEAKER 10 :
Absolutely. For example, we had a class last night that was talking about It was a free class that was in partner with our sponsors that said, hey, come to the class and let’s talk about what it means to actually have to defend yourself and self-defense and what that looks like in the state of Colorado. Should I shoot? Is it a good shoot? Is it a bad shoot? What are the laws, et cetera? So my concealed carry class is concealedcarryclassesofdenver.com or, excuse me, concealedcarryclassdenver.com. The name of our business is Concealed Carry Classes of Denver. And what we do is we host renewal classes. We host… conceal carry classes i also am teaching a oc class which is a pepper spray class in december for people who either they’re not old enough to be able to carry a gun because we have horrible politicians here in colorado messing with that right or they’re you know interested in less than lethal defense that they can learn how to defend themselves but we have tons of education and training and resources available to people because this is how we make a difference and this is how we protect our communities
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, and that information is on my website, and people can click on the link there to get information. But what is that website, How to Reach You? It is concealedcarryclassdenver.com. Okay. Teddy Collins, I am a fierce protector of our Second Amendment. And the first time that there was that big gun grab legislation here in Colorado and people showed up and, you know, drove around the Capitol and I thought, oh, my gosh, I need to get a firearm. And I… I just went and bought a firearm. I didn’t really shoot it. I just thought, oh, my gosh, I need to have this. And so it doesn’t work for me. To your point, what Alicia said with these educators and staff, it has to be a firearm that feels comfortable in their hand. And that’s something that you can help them with at Spartan Defense.
SPEAKER 05 :
Over at Spartan Defense, we carry a wide variety of firearms for everybody. For someone that’s budget conscious, competition firearms. So we can definitely help them out. And our goal is to donate any firearms we can at our cost for this program to make sure that these teachers and these people that want to be able to arm themselves and defend themselves and defend children are able to do so at no cost.
SPEAKER 22 :
Okay. And Teddy Collins, we’re having a little bit of a challenge, I think, with our connection. And it’s on my website as well. But what is that website for Spartan Defense?
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s SpartanDefense.com. It’s SpartanDefense.com.
SPEAKER 22 :

And again, that is usmcmemorialfoundation.org. And I am pleased to have in studio with me my friend, and that is Pastor Christine Coleman. And Pastor Christine, it is good to have you here. Oh, it’s a pleasure always to be here. How did we meet? I don’t quite remember. It seems like I’ve always known you.
SPEAKER 18 :
I think it was in Pueblo. You were a speaker at one of the events. Okay. And I had just come back from the White House.
SPEAKER 22 :
That’s right. Okay, that’s where we met. And that was during the first Trump presidency, correct? Yes, it is. Okay. For people that don’t know your story, you survived the Rwandan genocide of 1994. It’s a powerful story. So tell us a little bit about that.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, in 1994, we had an unfortunate something happening to a beautiful country. People there, they don’t like to share the blood. They love peace. But then we had the war. And when the war happened, we started seeing killings. left and the right. That happens in October 1990. And the people who were coming to attack the country, they were very powerful in the West. They have a voice. They know how to do propaganda. But for us, we are pure, innocent. You don’t go out. You don’t know what it is out there. And then through their propaganda, they ended up taking the power. And the way they took the power is that they were able to kill the president of Rwanda, and they killed a lot of cabinet members of the country. And that was a plane crash, yes? No? Yes, but it was shot down. Oh, it was shot down. Yes, by the RPF. who were led by Kagame, who is the actual president. And so through the killing of the president and many cabinet member were killed, through that, people start killing each other. And a genocide happened in which close to 800 people. 800,000, right? Were killed, yes. But I’m afraid that the real truth did not come out until now. Now it’s coming out. But I’m afraid that the person who has blood on his hands has been leading the country. And the West, in the beginning, they don’t know they support him.
SPEAKER 22 :
So, and didn’t, if I remember right, one of our conversations, and what is this guy’s name? Kagame. Kagame. And he is still in power.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, he is still in power, and there is now a lot of trouble because the killing overflow in the Congo DRC, and now there is a genocide going on there as well.
SPEAKER 22 :
You know, Pastor… Christine, we certainly are in an ideological battle here in Colorado and in our nation. But we take so much for granted here. While we are going out and kids doing soccer games and driving and going to the grocery store, what you’re saying is that there are people that are dying today from genocide. Yes.
SPEAKER 18 :
yes they are dying and so now the killings are happening a lot in the congo and the rwanda is supporting the m23 which is like a rebel group created by kagami now the other thing besides the killing is that there is no freedom in rwanda in rwanda You can live there as long as you can never point out anything wrong. If you point anything wrong, you are in trouble. I mean, they monitor your movement, what you say. There is no freedom of assembly.
SPEAKER 22 :
Pastor Christine, we’re actually seeing remnants of that right now in America, right now in municipalities, right here in the metro area. We’re seeing city councils and mayors that are trying to prevent freedom of assembly, prevent redress of the government. We are seeing that here. That’s why we need to get this nipped in the bud right now.
SPEAKER 18 :
You have to fight while you can because you can’t fight when it’s all gone and people are using the guns to control you or they’re taking your guns away.
SPEAKER 22 :
That’s why this discussion with Teddy Collins and Alicia Garcia was so important. Yeah, is whenever you have a legislator or a governor or… wanting to take away your right to bear a firearm. That’s danger, danger. Now, tell us a little bit about, you know what, let’s go to break so that I don’t interrupt you on this story. I’m talking with Pastor Christine Coleman, and she has recently been designated as a terrorist by the government of Rwanda, which is probably something to wear proudly, I think, Pastor Christine, but it can be a little scary, I think, too. And so these discussions happen because of our sponsors. And for everything residential real estate, reach out to Karen Levine.

And it’s a pretty remarkable story. Tell us what happened that day.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, so it was April 6th. The war with the rebels in Iran has been going on almost four years. And April 6th, I’m at my sister’s house. The war is still going on, but none of us know what’s going to happen that night. And I was supposed to stay with my sister for a whole week, but… Out of nowhere, I believe now it’s God. But out of nowhere, I say, hey, you know what? I think I need to go to the countryside. And she said, no, please. I said, no, I think I need to go. Before I know it, my brother come pick me up. We drove to the countryside. And that’s how I survived. Because the moment I left, within six hours, The plan of the president was shut down, and Kagame’s people came down into the neighborhood, and they rounded up people because they had been making lists. We don’t know. We live in a city. We don’t know people are making lists. They know who to get. They came, got my sister, her husband, her three-month baby, and the maid, and we never seen them again because they got killed.
SPEAKER 22 :
They killed them. Yeah. Okay, you survived. Then what happened?
SPEAKER 18 :
Then after I survived, I fled to Congo. When the RPF Kagame people came, We knew they are not good people, but the West thought they are bringing democracy. So over 3 million people fled the country. I was one of them. Then I got separated from my family. I became homeless, but God protected me, gave me a good job. with the International Rescue Committee. That’s where I met my sponsor who brought me here to USA. But while in Congo I lived there for two years, God protected me. And then the Kagame people also attacked Congo to come to get back the refugees.
SPEAKER 22 :
Oh, really? So these three million refugees left Rwanda. They go to the, is it Republic of Congo?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, the Republic of Congo, Congo DRC.
SPEAKER 22 :
Okay. And now Kagame says, hey, we want you to come back to Rwanda where there’s no freedom. You can’t speak or anything.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, they force you. They bring the guns, lots of soldier. They send you back. And as they were taking us back, they were killing people left and right. I saw it with my eyes.
SPEAKER 22 :
Did they want the people to come back to basically work, to be slaves?
SPEAKER 18 :
They did not want the people, because when we went to Congo DRC, we are right at the border, and it’s many people. So they are worried, number one. Many people don’t know the truth of what happened there. One day we’re gonna tear the waste. Then second, they are worried that people are going maybe to gather together when they attack Rwanda. Okay, I get it. So where dictators, they are always worried. They want to be in control of everything.
SPEAKER 22 :
So they can’t have any dissent. So you get to America and you become a voice. Yes. for Rwanda, yes?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, at first I went to school, and then I got, you know, to get married, have my family, but the voice of God kept telling me, there is a reason why you survived. You were not better than your sister, you survived. to speak up. So all I did is to speak up what they do. Everything I say, it’s what’s in the Rwanda newspaper, but they put it in the language in Rwanda. So I translate, and because I do that, I’m a terrorist, because I tell the truth. I speak up for people.
SPEAKER 22 :
So you have been noted, and this is a relatively new development that you have been designated as a terrorist because you are using your freedom of speech, which is in the U.S. Constitution as the first in the First Amendment. It is. Because they don’t like what you’re saying.
SPEAKER 18 :
And I’m just saying what they are doing. And there are evidences. And the people are crying out because people are so oppressed. But they cannot even, they have to hide it. Because if the government sees you complaining, or they even think you’re complaining, you’re going to be in trouble. In Rwanda right now, it’s very hard to find people who have not been in jail. Three out of five people that have been in a jail, women, they are now worried about how old you are. They always put people in a jail, torture them to infuse the fear in you so that you submit.
SPEAKER 22 :
So put people in jail, torture them to submit. Okay, so what’s going on? What’s your next plans? What’s the plan out here?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, so I have been speaking up for the people for faith because Christians start rising up, you know, speaking, let’s love one another. But the government, even though they show they have unity, but there is division. And so Christians, they start killing Christians, especially in 2018. They killed hundreds of Christians. Every pastor I knew right now, there are no more. And then when they kill, first of all, they kill journalists so that there is nobody to report what’s going on. And the rest of the people, they just report only what the government approves. So I have been speaking to the State Department, and they have opened doors. When I go there, I speak. They listen. They are always pressing Rwanda. So Rwanda did not like that. And finally, they said, you know what? Let’s designate here as a terrorist. So what does that mean when they designate you? Do you fear for your life? No. No, no, no, no. They designate you as a domestic terrorist. So they are hoping they can put me on the Interpol list so that I cannot travel easily. But I don’t think they will be able to do that because we have hired an attorney and… We have already proven that this is all political motivated. There is no truth. Then they also tried to talk to FBI to see if FBI can investigate you, that you are working with the rebels. That part I’m not worried about because I never talk to the rebels. I don’t talk to them. I have only done advocacy, human rights advocacy, and I have told the people, stand up for your freedom. So I do believe it’s going to backfire. It’s going to backfire against them. Because what if USA found out that they did espionage and surveillance, which they have done? And we are talking to the U.S. government, asking them, you need to check and see if the government of Rwanda is surveying me because I’m a U.S. citizen. And you cannot do that in the U.S. because that’s a crime, a huge crime.
SPEAKER 22 :
So tell me, how did you become a U.S. citizen?
SPEAKER 18 :
And so when I came to the U.S., it was in 1997. I worked hard. I finished college. After I finished college, I worked. I did business. But at the same time, I am proving that I can go back. If I go back, they will kill me. They already killed my three siblings. They have put my brother in jail. And so after the immigration, I found out that I have good reasons to fear to go back. They gave me a green card. At the same time, I got married. But I chose to get the documents, you know, the way I started, which is just getting them, being a Rwanda who is persecuted. So it took me a while. Maybe I would say 70 years to get the citizenship. But you are a proud U.S.
SPEAKER 22 :
citizen. Yes. And I’m living the American dream. You were living the American dream. Yes. So this is a naive question, but Africa is a big continent. Yes. Where is Rwanda located exactly?
SPEAKER 18 :
Rwanda is the middle, East Africa also. It’s located by Uganda. It’s bordered by Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania. And Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo DRC.
SPEAKER 22 :
Okay, I’ve got the map here.
SPEAKER 18 :
So is Rwanda small? It’s very small. If you look on the map, it’s going to be like a very… It’d be right in here by Tanzania? Yeah, it’s one of these dots. Okay. Right there.
SPEAKER 22 :
Okay. And is this the Democratic Republic of Kagame?
SPEAKER 18 :
The yellow one. It’s big. It’s big, and it’s a very good country. Very, you know, over there, the president is very democratic. But with the Rwanda propaganda, they show there is no democracy there. The president has run one term. He just got elected. Kagame has been in power for over 25 years. Wow.
SPEAKER 22 :
Where is the Trump administration on all this?
SPEAKER 18 :
So the Trump administration, when they came in, they halted the war because the rebels supported by Rwanda, they were winning and getting the sites that are very rich in minerals. I do believe with the coming of Trump, he was able to halt the war. Then they began the negotiations, but Rwanda is not a good actor because when they sign ceasefire, they still fight. And so finally, Congo, they say enough is enough. We’re not going to respect this. Ceasefire, we’re going to continue to fight. Congo is getting the ground. Trump is trying to negotiate through talks. But I don’t believe that is going to work. Because in Congo, they have killed over 10 million people. 10 million? Yes, over the last 30 years. Because Rwanda has been occupying Congo over and over. So when they got the democratic president, who refused to let Rwanda be in Congo, that’s when the war started.
SPEAKER 22 :
Wow. So, Pastor Christine, how can people get more information about you? If people want to help you, because you mentioned an attorney, that’s probably cost money. And standing up for the people of Rwanda, standing for truth, Christian truth is important to you. How can people get more information and how can they help you?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, thank you for asking. That’s a very good question. Number one, I would like people to invite me. If you have a newspaper, if you have a television, whether it’s Christian or not Christian, or you have a small group, I would like to bring an awareness. Because the West needs to know Kagame is a dictator, and he’s not just a regular dictator. He’s killing the opponents. Can you imagine? Anybody who tried to run against him, they have always landed in a jade. The other way people can help us is to visit my website, which is ChristineColeman.org. ChristineColeman.org.
SPEAKER 22 :
So is it Christine? With a C. So C-H-R-I-S-T-I-N-E. Yes. Coleman, C-O-L-E-M-A-N. Yes. Okay.
SPEAKER 18 :
.org. .org. Yeah, and from there, I did put a flyer just asking people to help me. It gives and go. But most importantly, that they fight, they help me to fight this injustice. If somebody is an attorney, they can also help me. We are looking for powerful lawyers because I want to sue this government that is… Would that be an international court, or where would you sue them? We would sue them maybe in Washington, D.C. But this is a defamation. Just calling a mother, a wife, a woman, a pastor… Somebody who is always helping people affected by war, helpless people, calling me a terrorist and putting me in a terrorist group. This is something that goes worldwide. And they have no evidence whatsoever. And so I need people to follow me on the eggs. If you are on the eggs, I am at Rev Coleman. I need three time on Facebook.
SPEAKER 22 :
At Rev Coleman, okay. And so the website is christinecoleman.org. And under the contact button there, there is a phone number 303-371-1626. Yes. Your final thought on all this, Pastor Christine?
SPEAKER 18 :
I would say, please stand up for your freedom while you can. Because once you lose it, it’s very hard to get. I wish I knew what I know now. But don’t let anybody intimidate you. Keep speaking because you know what? Things are changing in Rwanda. Even the Trump administration, they know the truth. They know the truth right now.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, and we must continue to speak the truth. So again, Pastor Christine Coleman, thank you so much. Thank you. And that’s christinecoleman.org.

SPEAKER 22 :
and welcome back indeed it is friday check out my website that is kim monson mon son.com we’ve been talking with pastor christine coleman in the previous segment this hour’s rebroadcast 10 to 11 at night and you can check that out there otherwise it will be on spotify and itunes as well regarding the election i find this so curious at what happened in aurora And this is from Katie VR. It says change appears to be coming to. Oh, and also, I’d love to hear from you. We’re going to take calls right now. 303-477-5600. The text line is 720-605-0647. So if you would like to join us on that, don’t be shy. I would love to hear from you. Anyway, this KTV article says, change appears to be coming to Aurora’s municipal government as, and again, I don’t want to use the word progressives. Because progress, we’ve always, I think progress sounds like an attractive word. And as we are always in this battle of language, we need to, and people that are, as Dr. McFarland said in the first hour, that are progressive. The battle of language plays to them. And so people like the idea of progress. So the word progressive has positive connotations. So we need to change that and not use that word because it’s actually radical activists. So here we go. Change appears to be coming to Aurora’s municipal government as radical activists picked up several city council seats and ousted three conservatives. And the word conservative, my editorial note, has been demonized to indicate people that want to take away your personal freedom. Actually, conservative means to conserve and to preserve freedom. This great American idea that we’re all created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. But it says it ousted one of the most vocal Trump supporting council members. Tuesday’s election saw a nationwide pull towards Democrats, which I find that interesting. So let’s stay tuned, which have called the night a referendum on Republicans. in local elections as well liberals and again i would use radical activists instead says radical activists saw major gains according to unofficial results so far aurora has long been led by a conservative leaning council and has a republican mayor but voters in colorado’s most diverse city which was thrust under a national spotlight on immigration enforcement rejected three conservative incumbent council members and elected radical activists in their places two other radical activists five in total were also elected i would say that aurora is in trouble as we know danielle jarinski was a councilwoman who when she found out that there were gangs that were taking over apartment buildings in aurora she took it took action to protect the family and i just find it really hard to believe that she lost her election But we are taking calls right now. We have Action Anne on the line. Action Anne, what is on your radar? And I know you’re going to ask us to get a pencil and paper.
SPEAKER 09 :
Exactly. That’s exactly the first thing I was going to do. OK, so thanks for saying it for me. So in order for us to have any confidence in these results, we have to be able to verify the elections. And they are totally unverifiable elections. In New York City, they have ranked choice voting. So they do also in Fort Collins. And I don’t know if there are other areas, okay? So those are totally unauditable because your first choice ends up usually being eliminated, okay? So if they get 49, they have to get 51% in order to win. And so if they got 49% and the other people below them got maybe 40% or lower, why, they end up winning. Isn’t that interesting? And the algorithms control it. So some of these websites will tell you what’s going, okay? And it’s critical that we try to support those candidates that ran and filed questions. I’m not sure the details on that, but these websites are Joe Hoff, J-O-E, H as in Harry, O-F as in Frank T. So that’s joehoff.com, thegatewaypundit.com. So thegatewaypundit.com. Those are the Hoff brothers, and they were international auditors, financial auditors. So they are not slouches, okay? Geller Report, G as in good, E-L-L-E-R, report.com, theuntamedtruth.com. That’s Joe Oatman’s website. And, of course, we want to go to TinaPeters.us, T-I-N-A-P-E-T-E-R-S.us, okay? So we haven’t had the federal courts do the right thing so far. So I’ll call back on Monday and give you some more information. Okay.
SPEAKER 22 :
Thank you, Action Ann. Greatly appreciate it. We have Ron on the line. And Ron, what is on your radar?
SPEAKER 03 :
A couple things, Kim. The Democrats have… gone, they’ve partied with the UN and United Nations and Islamic, which is basically a cult. Anybody that says that you don’t believe the way they do or live the way they do or think the way they do, you should die. That’s a cult. And these people, these people, and the Democrats have gone this way. They have They want everybody to think the way they do, do what they do, and if you don’t, you need to go. So in that, and also with the voting, they use the same machines, the same codes, the same everything, all around the nation. So I don’t know how they can say that they won. Anyway.
SPEAKER 22 :
Well, Ron, you make some very interesting points. And what you’re saying is that these radical activists say, if you don’t believe the way we want you to believe, we will shut down your voices and ultimately we might shut down your life. And that is antithetical to the American idea that we’re all created equal. with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. So when we have these discussions, Ron, I’m going to run this by you. I’ve talked about it on the air. Instead of talking about Democrat and Republican, because it’s long past that, I think the question in trying to unite us is, when we’re talking with people, do you believe that we’re all created equal with these rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, or do you not? What do you think about that, Ron?
SPEAKER 03 :
Absolutely, through God. Absolutely. It’s the thing that they’ve come across that if you don’t believe the way they do, say what they say, live the way they want to live, then you should die. And as the Islamic doctrine, and they have taken that doctrine and run with it. And that’s why you see in the governments, you see in the nations, you see in UN or the EU, and Germany, the riots in Germany. You see all this stuff. Firebombing.
SPEAKER 22 :
And they’re focused, Ron, thank you. We’re getting close to out of time. But what you’re describing is chaos, confusion, and destruction. That is the policies of the radical activists and these communistic socialist policies. America was founded on this idea of order and the value of the individual. So what do we want? Do we want order or chaos? I think most people would like to have order in their lives. And so thank you. And it’s just, it’s so important, all that we are talking about here. And Jenny said, She’s always coming up with something. She said it’s the red-green alliance. So on that note, my friends, our quote for the end of the show is from Patrick Henry. He said, the active, and the brave. So my friends today, be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way. My friends, you are not alone. God bless you, God bless America, and carry on.
