Together with guests and contributors, Kim explores the subtle encroachments on property rights disguised as compassionate policies. The episode takes a passionate turn as it reveals distressing conditions at Fort Carson, a topic that requires immediate public attention and action. Tune in to hear Pam Long, a retired army officer, as we discuss tangible solutions for our service members facing food scarcity issues, and the need for community advocacy to ensure their well-being.

Just click on the image for each of those shows, and that will bring that up. And also, once that happens, the podcast can be heard on or streamed on the streaming services such as iTunes and Spotify. We search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And socialism ultimately comes down to force. It’s not free stuff. The free stuff is the carrot to get people to vote for it. And my friends, it’s never compassionate to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, their livelihood, opportunities, or lives. And force can be a weapon, but it’s also policy and unpredictable and excessive taxation. Fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, the World Economic Forum, the globalist elites, the United Nations, all these things are connected. And Colorado State Legislature, this Colorado governor. the World Health Organization, land use codes. This is a big one. And you’re seeing this at the local and county level where there’s changes on what you can do with your land. You have to get permission to do things or you will be restricted. And that is a not so subtle, but it’s kind of subtle attack upon property rights. And it’s not compassionate to take other people’s stuff and zoning regulations and then forced fees. And again, if something’s a good idea, you should not have to use force to implement it. Our word of the day is a word that I’ve never heard of. Thank you, Neil, for coming up with this word of the day. And it is philanthropic. Let me try this again. Philanthropath. Philanthropath. Okay, got it. It’s a psychopath masquerading as a philanthropist. And that’s a lot of… That’s a lot of P’s for me to say this morning, but I think that you could probably use this in a sentence. It’s spelled P-H-I-L-A-N-T-H-R-O-P-A-T-H. And there are certainly some of these elites that are masquerading as philanthropists, but they’re actually have agendas that are really anti-human flourishing. And so think of who that might be. And there’s something that’s coming to mind for me right now. Our quote of the day is from Thucydides. And he was born in 460 BC and died in 400 BC. And he chronicled nearly 30 years of war and tension between Athens and Sparta. His history of the Peloponnesian War set a standard for scope, conciseness and accuracy that makes it a defining text of the historical genre. And he said this, he said, the secret of happiness is freedom and the secret of freedom is courage. So that’s good for today. This day in history, 1619, 38 colonists from Berkeley Parish, England, disembark in Virginia and give thanks to God, considered by many the first Thanksgiving in the Americas. In 1674, Father Marquette builds the first dwelling in what is now Chicago. In 1783, General Washington bids officers farewell at Francis Tavern in New York City. In 1875, influential New York politician William Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall escapes from jail, where he was being held for embezzlement. He flees to Spain, but was later recaptured. And then this, I had to do some additional research on this. In 1899, Webb Hayes, son of U.S. President Rutherford Hayes, receives the Medal of Honor. And a little bit more about him. He was born in 1856. He died in 1934. He was an American businessman and soldier. He co-founded a forerunner of Union Carbide. He served in three wars, received the Medal of Honor. And look that up. It was in… Vigon, Luzon, Philippine Islands, and he pushed through the enemy lines alone during the night from the beach to the beleaguered force at Vigon and returned the following morning to report the condition of affairs to the Navy and secure assistance. So I thought that was pretty fascinating. First headline that I wanted to talk about. We are in a time right now, now until January 20th, and the Biden administration is just pushing money out to all kinds of places. And this first one is from Fox News. And the headline is Biden pledges $1 billion in aid to Africa. as North Carolina residents continue to struggle after Hurricane Helene. And it says, Biden says this, he says, the United States continues to be the world’s largest provider of humanitarian aid and development assistance. That’s going to increase, you know, that’s the right thing for the wealthiest nation in the world to do. Biden said while speaking in Angola today, I’m announcing over one billion dollars in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced from homes by historic droughts and food insecurity. We know African leaders and citizens are seeking more than just aid. You seek investment. I’m wondering how he can. Do this because I think that the House of Representatives is the one that’s supposed to have the purse strings. But there’s a billion dollars there, billion dollars other places will continue on. Next thing, this headline caught my attention and did want to mention a climate conversation because it is such an important topic. film it’s a project of Walt Johnson and I’m we had the great honor to moderate the film and you can find that at a climate conversation calm and we have created an amazing set of podcasts as well with experts and scientists and really will hopefully help you get up to speed because what we have happening is all kinds of money is government money your money and The government doesn’t have money, it’s our money. The government is spending on this Green Deal. And the green in the Green New Deal is the green that’s going into people’s pockets. But I found this. This is Greenhouse Scholars. And this looks to me like it’s pretty much an indoctrination component here. It says, manifesting the power of a committed community, Greenhouse is leveraging a community of leaders to change the world. says we are creating a powerful, diverse, committed community to deliver widespread community change at scale by providing holistic support of low-income, high-performing young role models and their endeavors, and by rallying and focusing our community to launch hundreds of change initiatives. And it says Greenhouse is the community transforming community. So they’re taking kids from low income areas, but very high performing. And they’re indoctrinating them and pushing them out to push that agenda. And so that’s why we need to really be engaging in this battle of ideas. The problem is, is they this whole agenda. There’s all this money that is going into it. And we’ll continue to talk a little bit more about that. The next thing, this is from KUSA Channel 9. It says the Denver auditor, oops, hold on. These pop-ups are so difficult. The Denver auditor says the city’s college scholarship program failed to implement almost all of their recommendations. And it says more than a year after Denver auditors raised concerns about oversight, data management, and quality assurance with the city’s tax-funded college affordability program, What’s wrong in that sentence? This is not the proper role of government. It says a follow-up audit found that the Office of Children’s Affairs has failed to implement the bulk of recommended changes made in the original report. But people are being paid while all this is going on. Then next thing, again, the green in the Green New Deal, and this is from Reuters. And Biden is pushing out so much money. It says Biden pushes out over 100 billion in clean energy grants as his term winds down. And you can see probably some of that. I don’t know for sure, but probably is going over to this program that I mentioned regarding the Greenhouse Scholars program. And it goes on to say, I don’t know how he’s able to give out all this money. He said U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration has ordered over $100 billion in grants created by its signature climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act, a senior administration official said. The administration hopes the spending milestone will help to continue the deployment of clean energy even after President-elect Donald Trump leaves. a climate change skeptic who has pledged to rescind all unspent IRA funds takes office. I don’t know if there’s anything that can be done to stop this, but it sure would be a great idea. And the show comes to you because of our sponsors.

I have on the line, and you know her, Pam Long. She’s an author here at The Kim Munson Show, as well as Children’s Health Defense. She is the director of the Children’s Health Defense Military Chapter. She’s a graduate of West Point, an Army veteran of the Medical Service Corps, and she served as a medical intelligence officer for NATO Stabilization Forces. Pam Long, welcome.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you, Kim.
SPEAKER 18 :
You texted me something the other day that really has my ire up. And we’ve got to figure out how to do something about this. So set this up and let our listeners know what is going on down at Fort Carson.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, Kim, I’m hoping that your listeners are really engaged with some public backlash on what on Thanksgiving Day I learned through Military.com and Fox News that our service members here in Colorado at Fort Carson for months have been given insufficient meals. We’re talking a piece of toast and some lima beans as a meal. This does not meet the nutritional standards for everyone. Anyone in this country, let alone people who are required by their job to maintain high levels of fitness and readiness to defend this nation. This has been going on for months. Military.com interviewed eight soldiers saying there have been reoccurring problems. The dining facilities are not serving correct meals, proper meals. And then there’s these kiosks that are supposed to be available to our service members. We’re talking your junior enlisted service members only. up to 46,000 meal card holders at Fort Carson that should have access to meals, three meals a day. These kiosks have turned into either empty shelves or just junk food vending machines. We all know that food kiosks are capable, if you’ve been to any U.S. airport, of giving you a real meal, whether it’s a sandwich or a protein box or something, not what we’re seeing on social media with chips and cookies and sugary snacks. This is appalling, and we need public pressure and leadership.
SPEAKER 18 :
So the other day we talked with Open the Books, and they had found out that the Pentagon is spending a significant amount of money. I think they said like $15 million on ribeye steaks because if they don’t spend it, they think that they will lose it next year. And I just aghast at the mismanagement of the resources, what’s going on here. So what is our game plan here, Pam? What is it that we should do? Who should we contact? What needs to happen here?
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. Our game plan is, first of all, Fort Carson is in El Paso County, which has a five Senate districts and like eight state representative districts, people should be gaining allies, contacting your state representative. I know oftentimes people think the solution is in D.C. or with, you know, the Pentagon. No, the solution is right here. We take care of our own people because public backlash works. We’ve seen it work at the Air Force Academy. We’re going to use it again here with Fort Carson. You’re going to take this article, which is titled, For Soldiers at Fort Carson, Food is Scarce. This is at military.com. For Soldiers at Fort Carson, Food is Scarce. This is going to give you all the details you need to know to send to your state representative or your state senator. And even if you’re in El Paso County, maybe you’re county commissioners. There’s some good people in El Paso County to say, I’m bringing this to your attention. This is what I want you to understand. Two things. Two things is we have funded meals for soldiers. They have a deduction out of their pay. It’s called the basic allowance for subsistence, a mandatory deduction. $22 million are going to these dining facilities at Fort Carson. And yet somehow Fort Carson only has a budget of $5 million for food. Do we see the problem there? The problem is soldiers are paying $22 million to pay for meals, and the dining facilities have only been budgeted for $5 million. There is the root cause of your food scarcity. We have not funded. Where is that money going? Let’s do some accounting. And the second part of this action is food. You have a spokesperson for Fort Carson, Colonel Payton, saying that we’re going to get right on this and we’re going to create a food council with leadership and figure out what’s going on. No, you know what that is? That is the military equivalent of saying, let’s get a committee together and have a study and figure out what’s going on. No. Commanders, just so the public knows, commanders have the ability to authorize two sets of additional funding for soldiers when there’s food problems, when they don’t have access to the dining facilities. They can authorize a thing called VATS. BAH, which is a basic allowance for housing, where soldiers could use that money to get food off post at restaurants or other food vendors. And two, commanders could raise with a thing called BNA, basic needs assistance for soldiers who are near the poverty line. And what the public needs to understand is that soldiers, we’re talking people right out of high school, oftentimes these junior enlisted, living in barracks. Barracks are like dorms. They don’t have kitchens. They’re not even allowed to have hot plates and things that would warm up food because they’re a fire hazard. These soldiers are completely dependent on the dining facilities, which they are paying into food. So we need to be their advocates. And I will say there’s reports saying that this is a problem at Fort Carson specifically that is significantly higher than any other installation. Yes, we have food security across the force, which is appalling. Nationally, we probably need to raise their basic allowance for food up to $300 to $400 per soldier, which is a national problem. But we can address what is happening at Fort Carson, and take care of our own. Because here’s what we need to tell our state lawmakers and state senators and representatives. If you want to keep Space Force here, which is going into a very difficult battle because Trump has already indicated he wants to move it to Arkansas, if you want to keep those millions of federal dollars in Colorado, in hundreds of jobs for people in Colorado, then let’s take care of the soldiers at Fort Carson so we can demonstrate that we will take care of our military personnel.
SPEAKER 18 :
So, Pam, why don’t you and I go to work on the contact information on who we would recommend that people reach out to? And we will put that in the show summary for tomorrow or for today. And it should be ready tomorrow. And then people can take action that way. At least that is a start. I also think we should probably contact the news outlets down in Colorado Springs, too. Yes.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, I would encourage everyone, start writing op-eds, start reaching out, start making some noise. Our patriots know how to make some noise.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, so we will go to work on this. This is really a travesty. And people care deeply about our veterans and, well, and our military as well. And I just – it’s like the Biden administration doesn’t care about – About us, that he just pledged $100 million to, well, let’s see, how much was it, to Africa? No, a billion dollars in aid to Africa. And, of course, all this money going to Ukraine. But yet we don’t secure our border. We don’t take care of our own. It’s almost like these elites do not like… Americans. I don’t know what else to say. And to not take care of our military is just, it’s beyond the pale on this, Pam Long.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, and this comes down to we don’t need Washington to solve this problem. The money is there. We need to be voices for these service members because, remember, junior service members, low-ranking service members, they fear of reporting that could negatively impact their career and their security clearance. So they can’t be the squeaky wheel. They can’t complain. But they’re – They need food. And we can be the squeaky wheel right here locally in El Paso County and two other counties that Fort Carson stretches into. And right here at the state level, we can fix this and we cannot get complacent because Trump is taking office in January. There are real problems right now and we can meet those needs if we if we stay vigilant.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. Well, we are definitely going to do that, and you can find the story at military.com, and I found it by just putting in soldiers at Fort Carson, and it immediately came up, and it’s got this photo. In America, this is unbelievable. It’s got this photo of what they have to eat, and it looks like some milk and some lima beans and some toast. I’m just aghast on that. First of all, Pam, thank you for bringing this to our attention. And you and I, let’s talk after the show and get that contact information figured out. And let’s go to work on this, my friends. We cannot let this happen here in Colorado to our military service members. So Pam Long, your final thought.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you so much, Kim, for engaging on this. And your listeners, let’s do this. Let’s fix this here in Colorado for our service members.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yes, let’s fix that for sure. One of our listeners said, goodness, they said, gee, where do you think that $17 million difference is going? Can you say maybe illegal immigrants? I don’t know where it’s going, but it needs to be fixed now. So Pam Long, thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, and we will go to work to fix it. Thank you, Kim. And, boy, it’s so important that we be aware of what’s happening out there. And we try to do that on a regular basis here on the show. And we get to because we have great sponsors.

We are an independent voice and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And do check out the Center for American Values. It is located in Pueblo and on the Riverwalk there on the Arkansas River. And Pueblo is known as the home of heroes because there’s four Medal of Honor recipients that grew up in Pueblo, Colorado. The center is co-founded by Drew Dix, a Medal of Honor recipient for actions he took during during the Vietnam War. And Brad Padula, who is an Emmy award winning documentary maker. And they do a couple of things. They focus on honoring our Medal of Honor recipients. There’s over 160 portraits of valor with quotes from our Medal of Honor recipients. And then also great educational programs to remind us and still in us learn about these foundational principles of America of honor, integrity and patriotism. For more information, check out AmericanValuesCenter.org. pleased to have on the line with me Scott Powell he is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and he writes regular national columns I’m looking at the one right now was published at Town Hall Scott Powell welcome Kim it’s great to be with you again And we actually – you have written this great book, Rediscovering America, how our national holidays tell an amazing story about who we are. I know I didn’t get that quite right, but Rediscovering America. And so we always have you for many of our special holidays, but you also are talking about current events as well. And so – This piece, it was published back in mid-November. And at the time, Matt Gaetz had been nominated as attorney general. He has stepped back from that. And now the nominee is Pam Bondi. But the issues are still the same. So the title of the piece is Trump’s Vigor and the Choice of Cabinet Nominees Brings Shock and Awe. And And it is, I think, vigor and is probably the right word on this. It seems like the nominations keep – announcements keep on coming every day.
SPEAKER 08 :
They do. They do. And it’s great to see vigor in the White House or to be assumed once Trump is in the White House after inauguration. So it’s a great – it’s a strong team that’s being put together for the most part, and that’s what we need because the nation – needs a course change and, I think, a cleansing, really. We’ve got a lot of internal issues to get cleared up. And having the right people in place with the same sort of qualities of character that Trump clearly exhibits, which are that he’s a man of courage and determination and persistence, to get things right, I think that’s – I’m impressed with most of the team that’s been put together.
SPEAKER 18 :
I’m impressed with most of the team as well. I’ve got a few concerns here and there, but overall, I think it looks just great. So let’s go through some of the things here. You had said in your piece that you said among all the U.S. agencies, the Department of Justice is the most important in shaping and affecting the state of liberty and justice. And it sure seems like there’s been some abuses in that arena.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, absolutely. You know, what we’ve seen under Merrick Garland is almost, it’s really been appalling, frankly. And so that, it’s such an important, you know, it’s such an important office, the Attorney General. And I think Pam Bondi is a, you know, is a good choice. She’s experienced. She shares Trump’s values, and I just hope that she has the real strength to make some hard decisions and bring to justice some of these people that have inflicted on American people really a violation of their constitutional rights that borders on treason. And sedition and treason are high crimes and misdemeanors, and that’s really what we’ve seen. Take the southern border, for instance. Our country has really been transformed by opening our borders to all kinds of people that were unvetted. And you know there in Denver how it’s affected. Oh, I know. I mean, it’s a crime. It’s really a crime.
SPEAKER 18 :
It is. It’s really a crime against the American people. And, Scott, Denver, I was so excited to move to Colorado. I’ve been here a long time. And this city that I loved, this beautiful city, now it’s dirty and it’s dangerous. And it’s in decline. And it’s because of policies. But we are on the front line because we at one point before they probably were shipped out to other places, we were per capita. We had the most illegal immigrants of any city in the country. And then Mayor Mike Johnston said, had said initially that he would go to jail to protect or to not adhere to the Trump policy on deportation. And Tom Holman, the border czar, says, well, we agree on one thing. You want to go to jail and I’ll put you there. Well, apparently Johnston is backpedaling a little bit on that because I think he knows that Holman is absolutely serious.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, Tom Holman has got to be one of the best picks in the Trump cabinet. He’s just a rock-solid guy.
SPEAKER 18 :
He is rock-solid. But, Scott, let’s go through a little bit of memory lane. You went through and named things that I think in ways we’ve kind of forgotten about it. So beginning with, remember Attorney General Eric Holder? in the Obama administration and Fast and Furious. And Cheryl Atkinson, I think, national reporter, broke that story. But take us down memory lane here so that we can just really understand this continued incremental taking of our freedoms.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, I only list a few, and I don’t want to burden the audience with too many, but I think starting out with Eric Holder’s fast and furious gun-running strategy is appropriate. That was rolled out to heighten violence on the southern border, and that in turn was intended to curtail the Second Amendment rights of Americans. And that was really a harbinger of our present border crisis, if you will. And some of these operations are really false flag campaigns. For instance, I wouldn’t be surprised that many of the school shootings haven’t been campaigns really to use violence to take away Americans’ gun rights. Because we know that we have a government that is out of control in many ways. The CIA undertook a program called MKUltra back in the 1950s, where in the 50s and 60s, where they experimented on people young people in particular to bring about a sort of mind control where those people could be then used for nefarious purposes. I mean, this is unbelievable. It’s one thing to have this sort of campaign in war where you might want to undermine the enemy, but to use it domestically? I mean, this is crazy. And anyway, we don’t know. We can’t prove it right now. But it’s certainly, when we take a survey of all of the gun, of all the school shootings in America and others, but the school shootings were really troubling. And then we never get any closure of on why it happened, who they were, how they were funded, where they came from. I mean, here, I’m in Florida, and we had the Parkland shooting, I don’t know, maybe four or five years ago now, five years ago. It was horrible. And there was a stand down by the police where the police did nothing. That happened in Uvalde, Texas as well, where the police stood by for
SPEAKER 18 :
45 minutes while the shooter was shooting this is unbelievable well and scott just made me think of that las vegas shooting at that concert that it seems like i think to your point um is that we it doesn’t seem like we’re getting answers and closure on this and um So it’s really of great concern. Next thing I wanted to go to, though, is remember, and you mentioned Lois Lerner, the director of the IRS. And remember when she was on the tarmac? Was it with Bill Clinton when Hillary was running for president and they had a meeting? And I wonder what that conversation was about. But she really was weaponizing the IRS against the American people, I think, as well.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, absolutely. Remember, you know, it’s interesting, Kim, you’re so smart. You use two examples that represent the core of our government, and that is the first two amendments to the Constitution. You know, the Constitution would not have passed after it was drafted up in 1787. It had to be ratified. And there were a number of states that wouldn’t ratify it because it didn’t guarantee enough rights. They were fearful that the government would abuse power and the whole idea of in the founding of america was that people would be in charge that that that the the core of sovereignty lay in the people and the people had the right even to overturn the government if it became corrupt and and that’s why the second amendment was there was to remind the government that the people are in charge uh… So these things are very troubling, but Lois Lerner’s operation was to muzzle free speech and to muzzle the free speech of patriots. This was a time that the Obama administration turned out to be a two-term, eight years, and so much was changed about America in those eight years. And the Tea Party really rose up and around It was early in the Obama first term or midway through the first term, and there was fear that the message of the freedom-loving Tea Party might take root and make Obama a one-term president. So the campaign was rolled out to stop all these organizations that by denying them a tax-exempt status. So then they couldn’t raise money and get their message out.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, you bring up something regarding the tax exempt status. And I know that this would be a radical thing to do. But when the income tax was instituted during the Wilson administration, the progressive administration, to start to tax people on their hard work, was really, I think it was a travesty. But then, at least my understanding is, it’s like, well, we certainly don’t want to be, well, at the time we had hospitals and senior facilities for seniors. Those were typically operated through charities, through churches. And so they said, well, we don’t want to, you know, we’ll do nonprofit status for these institutions so that they can raise money. And so you started to then have two different kind of classes of things. Now we get to this point where we have nonprofits, for example, the Center for Tech and Civic Life, which was a nonprofit, in air quotes, that Mark Zuckerberg put over $400 million into in the previous, I think, the 2020 election, and it affected… well, in some of the battleground states, so he gets to write it off. This has nonprofit status. And so the point I want to get to is I really think we need to get rid of the income tax, and then people don’t have to worry about this nonprofit status. I know that’s a pretty radical thing to say.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, I think it’s certainly worth looking at very seriously. You know, we were a very powerful, robust country prior to having an income tax. In fact, our greatest economic growth, and one could argue a flourishing of creativity, took place throughout the 1800s. The early Industrial Revolution was just incredible, and there was no income tax at that time. And yet we had a balanced budget. We were able to accomplish many national objectives where everyone benefited. And tariffs were very important at that time. And, of course, Trump has talked a lot about reenacting tariffs as a major source of funding the federal government. I don’t know what the right mix is, what the right balance is, but I think it’s very healthy to evaluate everything. And I think any direction, any policy that empowers the American people is a good choice.
SPEAKER 18 :
I think so, too, Scott Powell. We’re going to continue the discussion. And Scott Powell is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute.

We’re an independent voice and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. and i have all kinds of gift ideas for you for this holiday season one of those to honor your loved one’s military service would be to buy a brick that will be on one of the pathways of service out at the usmc memorial and you can get information about that by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.org you will receive a beautiful certificate and uh i bought a brick for my father uh and he passed on last year uh but it was um just a really he i think it was one of the best gifts i’d ever given him and he had that certificate framed and on his wall so you can get more information by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.org. And another gift idea would be this very important book, Rediscovering America, How the National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story About Who We Are. And this is by Scott Powell, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute. And what he has taken each holiday, and you can sit down with your children, your grandchildren, as each of these holidays roll around so that they understand them. It is a beautiful book, Scott Powell.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, you’re so kind, Kim. In some ways, even though it was written more than two years ago, it’s more timely now than it was when it was written, or it’s equally timely. Because we’re now in a stage of really restoring America. You know, rediscovering and restoring America really defines the Trump administration and the time in which we live. Life can be so much better in America. if we get it right.
SPEAKER 18 :
And we have that opportunity to do so. Now, Scott, I think it was last year at about this time, you and I had a number of conversations about the Reconciliation Monument at Arlington National Cemetery. And I think it was right around Christmas, and maybe it might have even been Christmas week, when Lloyd Austin and company took down this amazing monument to reconciliation. So Maybe we have some hope of putting it back together. Hopefully they didn’t destroy it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, as a matter of fact, I was at a conference a week ago, and Pete Hegseth, the nominee for the Secretary of Defense, was there. He was a keynote speaker, and he was in a hurry after he’d given his speech to leave the premises. He had another appointment, obviously. and I, but I persisted in talking to him for about a minute and a half, wherein I, you know, he had heard, he had known about the reconciliation monument, he didn’t know all the details, but I felt, and I’m going to try to persist with him, that this could be a very symbolic thing to do, to put that monument back. You see, the monument, and this was purposeful, you know, the the Biden administration, there were powers working behind that administration to bring more division to our country. And clearly, we all know what happened through COVID and then what happened after the George Floyd, the unfortunate death of George Floyd. The country was just ravaged. And In the aftermath of that, and this was all planned, I’m telling you, these people planned these things. I know. They recognized that with division, with racial division heightened, it would be a great time to really capitalize on that and get political concessions made that would further change and divide America. And so it was. that this congressional committee was formed to rename military bases for one thing. Any military base that was named after a Confederate general needed to be renamed, right? Fort Bragg, one of the most famous military bases in America and important. General Bragg was a Confederate general. And so all of the military bases that had any naming from a Confederate general were renamed. And they put in the umbrella, in casting out this net to destroy any vestige of the Confederacy, they decided that this monument… which had been by some called a Confederate monument. The only thing Confederate about it was that it was erected and placed in a part of Arlington Cemetery where there were a lot of Confederate grave sites. But the actual monument that was inspired by President McKinley after the Spanish-American War, it’s a fascinating story. In the Spanish-American War, that war was one of the shortest wars we had ever fought, and it was largely because of the contribution that came from the South. The Southern families have produced a lot of very strong military, both soldiers and officers, and the contribution of the South in winning wars the Spanish-American War was so significant that McKinley saw this as a great opportunity to bring further reconciliation in the aftermath of the Civil War. You know, the Civil War, of course, was over slavery, but even after the war, even though the slaves were freed, we remained a very divided country. We had the so-called black laws and Jim Crow laws, and there was institutionalized discrimination and segregation in America. And so McKinley, in his wisdom, said, you know, this is a wonderful time to celebrate the reunification of America and the reconciliation of America. And so they found this wonderful sculptor, an amazing guy, and he happened to be Jewish. His name was Moses Ezekiel, and he spent years in sculpting this bronze statue that It was just an incredible work of art. It was the greatest work of art in Arlington Cemetery because it was round, it was tall, and it had scenes around the base and up the column of reconciliation between whites and blacks. It was an amazing monument.
SPEAKER 18 :
And Lloyd Austin and company took that down last year. We’ve got just a minute left, Scott. So how would you like to wrap all this up?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, right to Pete Hickseth. I hope he’ll get through the – he’s under attack like many of them are because they know that Pete Hickseth is a very, very solid guy. And so if we get him in as the new Secretary of Defense, it would be a great first movie. He doesn’t have to really do much except just order that it be restored. The monument is now in storage. But I think I would just simply wrap up by reminding, especially in the season that we’ve just gotten through, and we’re moving now, we’re in the Christmas season, but we’ve just finished the Thanksgiving season. And Thanksgiving is what it says it is. It is a giving of thanks and gratitude for all that God has given us. And that first Thanksgiving was celebrated when they had gone through incredible. The pilgrims had just lost half of their colony. They died during the winter. And yet those that survived, they planted. They had a meager harvest. But they gave thanks. And we, too, have gone through hardship. And so our Thanksgiving should be heartfelt. We have a new opportunity to change course in America, and it involves citizen participation. So you folks in Colorado know that very, very well, that your state has— has really gone through hardship because of the transformation of local politics.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, and we are going to go to work on that, Scott Powell. So I thank you. And again, that great book is Rediscovering America, How Our National Holidays Tell an Amazing Story About Who We Are. We will talk again very soon, Scott Powell.
SPEAKER 08 :

I want to hear from you. Thank you to all of you who support our independent voice. And you can listen to the show on all KLZ 560 platforms. We’re on live 6 to 8 a.m. The first hour is rebroadcast in the 1 to 2 hour. The second is 10 to 11 in the evening. And those platforms are KLZ 560 a.m., KLZ 100.7 fm. the KLZ website and the KLZ app. So you can listen anywhere in the world. And once, so the next day we have the summary of the show on my website. You can just click on the image for each day and that’ll bring up the summary, the written summary, as well as the and then those podcasts can also then be heard at Spotify and iTunes. We look at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And it’s never compassionate to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, freedom, livelihood, opportunities, or lives. And force can be a weapon, policy, unpredictable in excess of taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation. The World Economic Forum, the globalist elites, the United Nations, the Colorado State Legislature, this Colorado governor, World Health Organization, land use codes, zoning regulations, and force fees. Let’s start to reduce this list instead of adding to it. We’ve been adding to it for much too long. So let’s go to work on reducing that list. Our word of the day. Thank you, Neil, for your suggestion on this. It is a philanthropath. It’s spelled P-H-I-L-A-N-T-H-R-O-P-A-T-H. And it is the definition is a psychopath masquerading as a philanthropist. And I’ll just do a little research and see who you think might fit that definition. And there is I did find a website that says the anatomy of a philanthropist by Mark Hopkins. You could check that out as well. The quote of the day is from Thucydides, and he was an ancient historian. He chronicled the history of the Peloponnesian War. And he said this, though. Oh, he’s born in 460 B.C., died in 400 B.C. And he said the secret of happiness is freedom and the secret of freedom is courage. And so we can take great heart from the quote for all those years ago. I think the thing about it is our founders realized that human nature is constant. And they’d read all of the great writers, the great authors, and they’d studied human nature. And that’s how we then ended up with the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, which is unique. throughout the history of the world. And the individual freedom that they envisioned in the Declaration of Independence is what has been in place so everyday people can go after their hopes and their dreams. And what can happen? Well, America can happen. We’re everyday people. We live really in great luxury just as regular everyday people. And we have freedom of mobility and we can heat our homes. We can control our own private climate, heat our homes in the winter and cool it in the summer. And all those things are under attack. by elites. And so that’s why we have to continue to shed light on all this. And I’d recommend that you check out our documentary. It’s a project of Walt Johnson. It’s a climate conversation. And you can watch it for free at the website of Climate Conversation. And then we are creating some amazing podcasts well and as I mentioned about my sponsors my sponsor partners is I know each and every one of them personally they strive for excellence as they take care of their clients and produce their products and one of those great sponsors is Lauren Levy and Lauren Levy welcome to the show good morning any new news for our weekly update regarding mortgages interest rates what should people know
SPEAKER 04 :
We’re in sort of like a holding pattern right now. We’re a couple weeks out from the next meeting where there’s some unknown as to whether or not the Fed is talking about The economic data has been pretty strong the last couple times out, meaning since the last cut. And so there was thought that they would wait until 2025 to do any more cutting. But now we’ve seen some data that’s more flat. And so they’re thinking there’s some thought that it’s probably a 50-50 chance they might cut in December now, which would be nice for everybody, especially, you know, it helps mortgages, but it really helps credit cards, car payments, things along those lines, car loans. Um, and so we’ll see, hopefully they will do that in December, but we’re still a little bit of time away. So in the meantime, rates have been sort of in a holding pattern. They did crack back over 7% recently. And now, um, we just priced, you know, a couple out yesterday that were in the upper sixes. So they’ve settled down a little bit, which is nice. So, um, you know, for right now, we’re in a pattern of what I, what you and I’ve talked about for a long time now, where, um, If you find a home that you like, get the rate now, if you can handle the payment, and then you can always adjust the payment later through a refinance if and when rates do come down.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. And you watch that for your clients as well, right? You’re proactive regarding that.
SPEAKER 04 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 18 :
You don’t wait for them to call.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, because we want to help them save as much money as possible, so we keep spreadsheets of everything. And everyone’s in a different position, to be honest, Kim. Some people… A lot of it depends on how much your home loan is, how big it is. If someone only owes $100,000 on their house, a move of a quarter percent in an interest rate won’t adjust their payment a whole lot to where they think it’s worthwhile. But if someone has a $700,000 home loan and the rate moves a quarter percent, that could save them $400 a month. That’s a lot of money. So it’s all relative to who’s loan it. Some people have said in the past to me many times through the years, oh, I always thought you had to wait for rates to drop by a full percent in order to refi. It’s like, well, that was when homes were worth half as much as they are now. And that’s an old school theory. Back when our parents were buying homes for $30,000. Now when you’re buying a home for $900,000 with a $700,000 loan, a quarter to three-eighths percent rate can be well worth the savings. It can be a really drastic change on a monthly basis. So we watch and then we call people and let them decide if they think it’s worthwhile. And we’ll always stay on top of that.
SPEAKER 18 :
And I think that’s one of the things that’s so unique about you. And you can help people with a new mortgage, obviously, or a second mortgage or a reverse mortgage. And I love the fact that you can help people in 49 of the 50 states. So if people are moving or buying a second home in a different state, you can help them as long as it’s just not New York.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, we’re doing one right now for someone in Florida and then another one in Texas right now. Someone is relocating from Colorado for their husband got a new job down in Texas. And sometimes life forces those moves, you know. And so I’ve been at the past client, and they just had a good experience, and they’d rather just have us help them. So those things happen. So, yeah, it’s nice to have that availability.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, that’s great. What’s the best way for people to reach you, Lorne Levy?
SPEAKER 04 :
The best way is just call 303-880-8881. That’s 303-880-8881. And, Lorne, I think you and Karen are going to be in studio next week. I can’t believe it.

He is a sixth generation farmer and rancher and he’s He stands up for the people that feed us and fuel us. And as our listener Jenny said, we need food, fuel, fiber, and freedom. So welcome, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 10 :
Good morning, Kim, from frosty Fargo, North Dakota.
SPEAKER 18 :
What are you doing in Fargo, North Dakota?
SPEAKER 10 :
I had a little speaking engagement yesterday with the North Dakota Agribusiness Association, and it went extremely well. A lot of the topics that you and I talk about came up, such as glyphosate and chemicals and all of those, water, things like that.
SPEAKER 18 :
Also so important. So let’s let’s talk a little bit about that. I had some listeners that had reached out regarding farmer Joel Salatin and He has been, it looks like he has been, let me see, I had this here. He’s a self-described Christian, libertarian, environmentalist, capitalist, lunatic farmer. And it looks like he’s received an appointment by Congressman Thomas Massey from Kentucky to be an advisor to the secretary to the USDA. And apparently he has some unique farming methods. I don’t know much about him, but you do, right? Right.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’ve known Joel for 20 years, and he’s done a fantastic job. You know, we continue to go through these phases of trying to rename what we do in agriculture. And so now people would call him regenerative agriculture, which I don’t embrace any of those terms. You just need to be sustainable and not let somebody else define what sustainability is. It’s been an interesting relationship with Joel because he’s done things that we would consider more the old school way. And the challenge that he has, and I’ve told him this from the beginning because he’s been my guest on Royal Route Radio several times. And in fact, I reached out to him after he posted that Twitter post that you just read. But one thing that he does is extremely labor intensive. And he has a lot of families that are involved in sustaining that farming operation. He’s traveled all around the world talking about what he does. And he has really become independent from most of the global companies in food production. There’s a price to pay for that. It’s very ironic that You’re having this discussion with me today as a result of feedback from a listener. But, you know, I do the Real Rot Radio program every morning, and I just finished that with my guest, J.C. Cole, from New Jersey. And J.C. Cole is an interesting individual. He went to Lafayette in 1992. He was there as they were a former Soviet Union country trying to rebuild post the breakup of the Soviet Union. He came home in 2010 because he learned that there was going to be a world war and it would be centered around Ukraine and Israel. He was told that in 2010, so he came home to prepare. And so he developed this network of farmers, and he said, we didn’t raise turkeys this year. We have a neighbor that is implementing Joel Salatin’s approach to his farming methods, and he raised these turkeys as Joel told him to raise. So before I tell you the answer… Did you buy a turkey, Kim, for Thanksgiving?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 10 :
What did you pay?
SPEAKER 18 :
Actually, I didn’t buy it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, see, see, fact-checking you.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, at our house, we bought a turkey. We bought a turkey.
SPEAKER 10 :
What did the turkey cost?
SPEAKER 18 :
I don’t know. How much did it cost?
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t know. I don’t know. I’ve been grocery shopping with Kelly in Grand Island, Nebraska, at one store that we go to regularly. And for the last 30 days, turkeys were on sale for 97 cents a pound.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 10 :
So you could have acquired – and JC actually, he’s doing a massive freeze-drying program, and he just bought 100 turkeys at $0.97 a pound, and he’s freeze-drying them. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. How about that? But anyway, he had to pay his neighbor $6.26 a pound because that’s what it costs to raise turkeys Joel Salatin’s way. And Joel has always been about doing – everything you possibly can and never about cutting costs. And so that just gives you a glimpse into what is taking place in today’s world as it involves food production. There are people that do things without any regard to what it costs. I mean, he’s not just spending money left and right, but there is an expense. And what we as a nation have reaped the rewards of is economies of scale. And I’m not actually making a case for economies of scale, but I’m telling you what has happened. is that economies of scale have allowed people in retail grocery chains to sell turkeys for 97 cents a pound to the consumer, when in fact the guy who grew his own turkey, it cost $6.26 a pound to grow. That’s the world of food production we’re currently living in.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, so there’s this conversation out there that big farming operations, that they’re using pesticides, herbicides, and that these things are poisoning our food and they’re poisoning us. But there’s this part of me, though, without the herbicides, without the pesticides, then we cannot grow enough food to feed everyone. Is that correct? What’s your thoughts on that, Trent?
SPEAKER 10 :
You’re absolutely correct. We must rely on pesticides. And why are people worried about pesticides? They drink pesticides every single day. And yet they’re worried about a pesticide that a farmer is using. You know what pesticide they drink every single day? I’m drinking it as we speak.
SPEAKER 18 :
I know it.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s coffee, right? Caffeine is a pesticide. The purpose for the caffeine on a plant is that it protects itself from insects. So while you’re drinking coffee complaining about the farmer using pesticides, you’ve got to realize how hypocritical we really are. My grandfather started farming. He was born in 1918, Quincy, Illinois. He farmed without pesticides in a period of time in his life. And he talks about how much cultivation it took to grow these crops to maintain control of the weeds. And so he would go through and cultivate six, seven times in a growing season. And we know for a fact the greatest way to disrupt the soil health is cultivation. So there always has to be a balance. And here’s the biggest story, because the people I’m with yesterday are the individuals that are involved in supplying seeds and inoculants and pesticides and the equipment to make it all happen to the farmer. And we’re using about one-eighth. of the chemicals and application that we did when I was a kid and I was helping my father mix up pesticide in his sprayer and go out to spray. But we’ve become so efficient because pesticides are expensive. So nobody wants to use any more than they absolutely have to. But in order to maintain growth and have an available supply of food, there’s some level of weed and pest control that must be implemented.
SPEAKER 18 :
So you just mentioned this example regarding turkeys. And so if someone wants this turkey that has been raised in a different way, then the cost is going to be extremely much, much, much more. So I think people should have that choice. But let’s think about that family right now that’s just trying to get by. If they’re facing having to buy a turkey at $6.97 a pound or whatever, they may not buy a turkey. But if they can buy a turkey at $0.97 a pound, then they can. And so… I think we want to have these different choices for people and then people can vote with their own dollars. But I feel that there is this movement to that. Ultimately, people will go hungry if we come down too hard on the American farmer.
SPEAKER 10 :
You just nailed it. That is the moral of the story right there. And I don’t know why we can’t continue to promote choice. You know, Kelly and I, we sell pork and beef direct to consumers. We have not sold a pig on the commercial market, well, actually a pig or a calf, either one, on the commercial market for years. We sell what we raise, we sell for people to consume. And we don’t price that based upon what the market price of the day is because when you consume our, particularly our pork and our beef because of the tenderness aspect of the Piedmontese breed, you really appreciate the value of what you get for the quality. And that is our option that we have the opportunity to sell to people who really appreciate the extra level of quality that we have built genetically into these animals. Why do we need to have either or? Why can’t we have, like you just said, the choice where people can develop a relationship with somebody that they know? You want to know. I mean, we don’t vaccinate any animals for anything. Maybe that’s a value to you. I don’t go out marketing it because I don’t want you to think that the beef that you’re getting in the store has a level of contamination because I don’t believe that. But this is what we’ve chosen to do, and it works well for us, and the people who buy from us absolutely love it and keep coming back.
SPEAKER 18 :
But again, it’s choice. So people that are buying that, they may make a choice to not do something else so that they can afford that. And so it all should always be about choices, I think. And so what do you think about this advisor to the secretary regarding this Joel Soliton and the advisor to the secretary of the USDA? I mean, I think that’s pretty creative. Yes.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, Joel really screwed up. That didn’t happen. He posted that after somebody – I can’t get a handle on what’s going on with this, Kim, and it’s worthy of a discussion. He did not get that appointment that you’re reading about because Thomas Massey did not get the appointment as the Secretary of Agriculture. Everything he posted on that Twitter post did not happen. In fact, I reached out to Joel the day he posted it and I said, well, sounds like you’re becoming the bureaucrat that you’ve been railing against because every time I have him on the program, he’s railing against everybody at the USDA. And he responded to me very briefly. He said, It’s not official yet.
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, well, we all know those things. You don’t count on something until it’s definite. I get that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, absolutely. So Brooke Rollins, who has limited experience in agriculture, is actually the person who’s been tapped, but she’s been a very close advisor and… whatever the relationship between her and Donald Trump has been, is actually the person who he has tapped to be the next secretary of agriculture. All of this obviously is dependent upon a confirmation. But there’s something very interesting developing, and this is what I was saying. I can’t figure it out. Joel Salatin made that announcement because Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has formed this Trump transition ag team. And I personally now know five people that have been contacted by the Kennedy Trump transition ag team that had been asked if they would serve at some position within the USDA. And the Trump or the Kennedy team wanted Thomas Massey to be the secretary of agriculture, which didn’t happen. Okay. And I don’t understand why the Kennedy team is reaching out to contact these people, because I also have friends who are actually part of the Trump ag transition team who were with Trump the entire first term. And I called Brian. I said, Brian, what’s going on? I got these people telling me they’ve been promised seats in the cabinet and in different level positions by Kennedy. He said, I have no idea. I have no idea why he’s doing that. He has no authority or no clearance to do anything on behalf of the Trump transition team. I’m running it.
SPEAKER 16 :
That is very, very curious.
SPEAKER 10 :
It is the most. Actually, I’m going to today when I drive home from Fargo, I’m just going to call Bobby and see if I can track him down and ask him what the heck’s going on, because none of it makes any sense.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, well, let’s stay tuned on that, Trent Luce, and very interesting stuff here. And I know that you’re going to be doing something in the first part of January. Of course, you’ll be out here for the National Western, but there’s also a property rights thing. I wanted to chat with you a little bit about that. I had a conversation with some listeners last night regarding transmission lines down in Pueblo. that looks like they’re going to try to take some of their land down there, their family’s land. And so we want to talk a little bit about that. And these are such important discussions. And right now we had him on on Monday, and that’s Doyle Glass. He is the author of Swift Sword, and it’s regarding some Marines that were in a battle during the Swift Sword operation in Georgia. Vietnam on 4 September 1967 and it is a fascinating story and again I think a great gift for Christmas or Hanukkah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Eyes peeled and moving quickly, Lance Corporal Jack Swan led 164 of his fellow U.S. Marines from Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines over the face of a bare, rocky knoll to rescue an isolated company of fellow Leathernecks besieged by the Communist North Vietnamese Army. Then, all hell broke loose. Instead of rescuing their fellow comrades, the Marines now faced complete annihilation. Author Doyle Glass tells their story in Swift Sword, a true Vietnam War story of epic courage and brotherhood in the face of insurmountable odds. Order Swift Sword by Doyle Glass now. They never gave up. We should never forget.
SPEAKER 01 :
So I switched my insurance to the Roger Manion State Farm Insurance Agency. Get this, I actually talked to Roger Manion, who has been helping people with their insurance coverage in our community for 47 years. He helped me create a State Farm personalized price insurance plan for my home and auto, and explained affordable options. For personalized service and peace of mind that you are working with a team that cares about you and your family, call Roger Mangin now at 303-795-8855. Kim highly recommends the Roger Mangin State Farm Insurance Team. Again, that number is 303-795-8855.

We’re an independent voice and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you shouldn’t have to force people to do it. And we just heard the spot regarding Swift Sword, the book by Doyle Glass regarding these Marines that really a lot of a lot of valor in that Swift Sword operation. It was two weeks in 1967. And during that operation, there were two different operations. actions that the individuals were awarded the Medal of Honor. So it was pretty interesting. But it just makes me think of the USMC Memorial Foundation and the great work that they’re doing regarding raising the money for the remodel. And it’s a nonprofit, so it’s tax deductible. We’re getting near the end of the year, so now would be a good time To make a contribution, check all that out by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.org. That’s usmcmemorialfoundation.org. Trent Luce is on the line with me, sixth-generation farmer and rancher. And we’re in December, obviously. Trent Luce, which means January, is right around the corner. And that means, first of all, the National Western. So you will be coming out to the National Western, yes?
SPEAKER 10 :
I will be at the National Western starting on January the 11th.
SPEAKER 18 :
And actually, we were talking about you, Producer Steve. You know, he retired about 14 months ago. But he comes out of retirement periodically to come in. He’s a really great pancake maker. And he’ll come in and we’ll have a little pancake breakfast. And it’s just really great. It’s a great camaraderie for everybody in the office and in the studio. And he said, gosh, I’d like to meet Trent Luce. pancake breakfasts. So he’d like to plan that, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 10 :
Can I bring the sausage? I can put my money where my mouth is on how good our pork is.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, okay. So we’ll come up with a date on that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Perfect.
SPEAKER 18 :
So you’ll be out here for the National Western. And fortunately, we were able to defeat two of those terrible questions that were on the ballot in Denver. One was the ban on meat processing in Denver. And so that was defeated, which was important. And then also there was a question to ban fur sales. I didn’t realize until I got to know Colleen Orr that – Beaver and rabbit are both integral ingredients, if you will, to like a good cowboy hat.
SPEAKER 09 :
Good cowboy hats are beaver. Absolutely. Beaver pelts.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah. And I didn’t realize that. So if that would have passed, that would have meant that there would probably have been no great cowboy hats for sale out at the National Western. So fortunately, that was defeated as well, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, yeah, and they might just come and take my beaver off of my head.
SPEAKER 18 :
They might do that. That’s true, but you’re going to be out here for the National Western, but also you’ve got an event that’s January 12th in Akron, and I’m going to try to make that. It’s regarding property rights, so tell us a little bit about that.
SPEAKER 10 :
There’s a group in Washington County, Colorado, that are committed to preserving property rights. And they’ve been working at this. And the message that I got was that they’ve been working at this kind of, you know, when they can and trying to do things to make sure that everybody’s property rights are protected. But at the same time, make sure you’re not infringing upon other people’s property rights. And it’s a direct result of what’s taking place with the land grabs through wind, solar and the transmission lines, because there’s going to if you look at the map. The proposed map, and this is all subject to change, but what the Department of Energy has floating out there as a proposed map, Washington County is not currently in the path of these transmission lines. But without a doubt, if you look at where they propose that they’re going to go in Nebraska and up into South Dakota, Washington County is going to be in that path. But they’re going to have an afternoon very laid back. Chuck Miller from Brush, Colorado is going to accompany me. We’re going to be there together and we’re going to do a tag team, so to speak, because Chuck has been on the forefront of this property rights initiative forever in Morgan County, Colorado. But I’m really looking forward to what we’re going to try to get accomplished in Washington County. There’s a group of people that have been, like I said, repeat myself, been doing good things. But to be honest, Kim, and the reason I’m coming is they want to take it to a new level and engage more people in the battle. And the battle is You can do on your property what you see fit as long as the taxpayers aren’t funding it and as long as what you’re doing on your property doesn’t infringe on my property. And so we’re just going to really walk through the clear delineation between those things. But what has taken place with Inflation Reduction Act money going in to basically subsidize 100% these projects is absolutely un-American. It’s not constitutional, and it needs to stop.
SPEAKER 18 :
I totally agree. So I had conversations with some listeners this week. First of all, a listener has property in Chaffey County. And so there’s been a rewrite, this is my understanding, of the land use codes. And there are those that want to prevent development of some of the agricultural land. They want to maintain the flavor of the county. And so these new land use codes that are being put into place restricts what people can do with their property. And that is a real problem, and that is happening all over the country. And so we need to fight that. So I did give him your contact information and also some other contact information as well. So we’ve got that going on. Then last night, I was talking with some of our listeners and their family. She grew up in Pueblo County, and there’s a proposed transmission line going across their property. They’re being threatened with eminent domain. Her 96-year-old aunt is ready to fight that, which I think is awesome. But we’ve got it right here in our backyard, and so we’ve got to be on it right now. So I’m glad you’re doing this event on the 12th in Akron.
SPEAKER 10 :
There’s a tremendous number of variables, but yesterday I went through the model on what the loss of electricity is in a transmission line. Because, Kim, here’s the biggest red flag for all these projects like we’re talking about here in Chaffee County. We put up an industrial solar complex. We put up an industrial wind complex. And the electricity never stays in the area. They ship it over the mountains, two mountains, to California. Or they put it to Denver, or excuse me, Detroit. Or they put it to Florida. They never keep the electricity in the area where it is generated. And I’m like, why is this the common practice? Why are they doing this all the time? And so the variables in electricity loss in a transmission line include temperature, include distance, include voltage, include all of these things. But the rough number that we come up with is that one-third of the energy that is amassed and put into a transmission line does not get to the destination that it’s supposed to go. So the real question is, I come back to it. Nobody’s given me the answer. Why do we always send this electricity, which is acquired in Washington County, Colorado, to Florida? Why don’t we use it in Washington County? Or, heaven forbid, let’s take it to Denver. What’s wrong with that? Why does that never work? My answer is, I believe this is the answer, and this is what I’m trying to verify or discredit. It’s nothing more than a land grab. They want to control as much of the land as possible, which is why they put forth a 100-mile-wide easement for a transmission line. It’s just asinine.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, it is a land grab. And then you can connect the dot to the 30 by 30, which is the idea. Well, Joe Biden said that an additional 30 percent of the land will be controlled.
SPEAKER 10 :
And water.
SPEAKER 18 :
And the water by government by 2030, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
No, that’s not the exact verbiage is that 30 percent of the land and water by 2030 will return to its natural state. Oh, how you want to define that. But, you know, this is not Joe Biden’s plan, because let’s face it, you give Joe Biden a penny for his thoughts and you’re going to get change back. I mean, that’s just the way the guy is.
SPEAKER 18 :
I have not heard that one yet.
SPEAKER 10 :
This is happening all around the world. The United Nations came up with this plan, and this week on my Across the Pond program on Tuesday morning, Ingrid from Australia, who’s what we would refer to as a county commissioner, they’re called a counselor, in Winnebago, New South Wales, had a map and shows the plan for 30 by 30 in New South Wales, and they’re already at the point, and this is why Ingrid is fighting it, Kim, they’re already at the point that if there is a log that has fallen from a tree on your property, you have to get a permit from the New South Wales government to pick up the log.
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s madness. It’s absolute madness. And I did see a headline that the Supreme Court, I think, made a decision regarding wetlands, which would be positive for freedom. Is that correct? Did I see that headline correct?
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m not in tune with that. I’ll have to dig into that. I have a sense you’re going to go to a break, so I can work on that.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, you can work on that. I’m going to have Rob Nadelson on tomorrow. He’s a constitutional expert, and so I was going to ask him about these different Supreme Court cases, but it seems like I saw that headline. So, yeah, if you find it, we’ll talk about that when we come back from break. And you can all call in when Trent is going to stay on, 303-477-5600. And the text line is 720-605-0647. And, Trent, just a little bit more homework. is I had Pam Long on in the first hour, and she is with Children’s Health Defense. She’s a West Point grad, a former captain in the Army. And here at Fort Carson in El Paso County, Military.com reported that our soldiers are not getting enough food there. And I have a listener that sent a text in that I want to share. talk about as well. And that is, it’s unbelievable. It’s a travesty. And we’re going to go to work to try to get that turned around. These are such important discussions, and we have them because of our sponsors. And one of those is John Boson with Boson Law.

And also, I want to make sure that I say thank you to the Harris family for their goal sponsorship of the show as well, because being an independent voice is so important. Trent Luce, we’ve got a caller on the line. We’ll get to him in just a moment. But a couple of things. First of all, I was trying to find what I was referencing regarding this Supreme Court decision on wetlands, and I’m not finding anything new. It looks like it was something back in 2023. So maybe somebody just commented on it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, that’s mostly true. There was a ruling in 2023, and then the Supreme Court ruled in May of 2024 on the case of the EPA versus Sackett, which was a lawsuit that stemmed from a wetland area, deemed wetland area in North Carolina. There are 90 million acres of wetlands in this country, and the lawsuit ultimately rolled back what can be deemed a wetland in terms of how wet the wetland is. And where you have the federal government continuing, it’s the same vein of what we were talking about before. We have a government that wants to consume all of our land. We do not want us to own land. And if they deem it a wetlands, then there are protections from the Clean Water Act which come into play. It is nothing more than the same land grab we’re talking about with the transmission lines and everything else.
SPEAKER 18 :
Right. So that was an important decision.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hold on, Calum. I’m sorry. This is a great Case in point, the reason you saw it in a headline this week is because a nongovernmental organization, one of these groups who does nothing to improve the environment but pilfers the public for profit, rekindled this ruling from May and has written it up as it’s going to endanger 30 million acres of wetlands in the United States. Like the only way that we can protect the environment is have a government regulation act. Government regulation flies in the face of protecting the environment, and here’s a nongovernment organization who will be asking for money because they’re fighting for the wetlands. That’s the reason that you saw it in the headlines this week, and I will not name them because I’m not giving them credit.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, thank you for your good research. And before we get to Mark and Aurora, this had come in regarding our conversation with Pam Long and the food shortages down at Fort Carson. And thank you, Dave. He said, regarding the ribeye steaks – oh. I had opened the books as one of our guests the other day, and they go through this waste of the day, and the Pentagon’s been spending money like crazy, like $15 million on ribeye steaks. And so Dave says this, regarding the ribeye steaks, back in the 90s, I saw thousands of dollars spent at the end of every year by Peterson Air Force Base on artificial trees for offices and other unnecessary stuff. the spend it or it will be cut from your next year’s budget has been going on for years in the military we need to change that and I did hear from Colonel Rutledge because he’d worked in in budgeting and so we’re gonna do a show on that but let’s get to Mark and Aurora. Mark and Aurora what is on your radar?
SPEAKER 21 :
Kim your show is a blessing thank you so much and Mr. Luce thank you sir for your enlightening information I had a hunch but I was unable myself to connect the dots that when our beautiful Colorado vistas are dotted with these goofy wind towers and our acreage is gobbled up by these horrendous solar panel fields, that energy does not benefit the locale whatsoever. It benefits the top-down United Nations agenda of shutting down society. And that’s all I have to say right now. Other than, also, Mrs. Munson, thank you so much for your guest in the last day or two. To discover that, no surprise, our homosexual Democrat governor became a multimillionaire under the tutelage and Democrat watch of one CIA mulatto, Barack Hussein Obama. And interesting how the insider trading works year after year, and Nancy Pelosi can tell us about that. That’s all I have, Kim. Blessings to all God’s patriots.
SPEAKER 18 :
Thank you. Thank you, Mark. I had a train of thought that I was going to make a comment on, and now I lost it. I lost it on that, Trent Luce. Oh, I know what it was. So Mark was talking about these wind turbines and… solar fields. And so the wind turbines, this money that is being allocated from the government is then being offered very lucrative, I think, to farmers and ranchers who they’re getting squeezed with production costs, interest rate costs. And so it creates this almost this perfect storm where they are really incentivized to Let their land be used for these wind turbines and solar panels. And we need to get that turned around, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 10 :
You just nailed it. That is the recipe. And the only thing you left out when you talked about increased cost is property tax. Property taxes across the board in every state are uniformly putting people out of land ownership. I had a gentleman show up at a meeting that I was a part of in York, Nebraska, two weeks ago. He came to me and he said, every five years, I’m paying the amount of property tax that I paid to purchase this place. You cannot continue to pay property tax at this level. It’s all by design. And then they come along and say, well, we’re going to give you $40,000 for this wind turbine. Your back’s against the wall, you take it. I understand that. But we have to stop taking these handouts because it is ultimately giving the farm away.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, and so we have to lower property taxes. And so last week, we took the week off and did some rebroadcasts. And I did a lot of thinking. And I’ve decided that we’re going to go to work on what I’m calling Doge, Colorado. And that is where everyday people… We’re going to go to work to shrink government in Colorado, and then we need to engage on the local and county level as well. And it’s right now, it’s just this idea, but I’m working on how we’re going to implement that. But that’s going to be one of my projects here for Colorado. And then also, Trent, our Colorado 2024 election project has been very successful as far as both of our lawsuits are filed. And we’ve got a Colorado 2025 project, but I’m going to call it Reclaim Colorado 2025 and probably have the Doge project in there as well. But we’ve got another potential lawsuit that we’re going to file regarding our elections because we have got just a window in time right now. to go to work to get our elections cleaned up. There are things in Colorado that are legal regarding our elections, but they’re not right, Trent Luce.
SPEAKER 10 :
I just hope we have another election. That’s what I’m working to make sure we have happen.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, yeah, we definitely have to work on that for sure. And I just feel that we have this opportunity right now. And everyday people, we need to become engaged. And I’m going to go to work to try to have an easy way to understand how to be engaged and what to do. So that’s the plan. So we have a couple of minutes left. How would you like to button all this up, Trent Luce?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, I don’t think the Fort Carson situation is isolated, and I think that is something we definitely need to follow up on. But I got a phone call today or Monday of this week from a listener to my radio broadcast from Fallon, Nevada, who talked about the changes at the Air Force at Fallon, Nevada. Her husband was a 25-year officer in the United States Navy, and so they’ve had access to that fort since they retired and been a part of that. In the last three weeks, there’s been no access granted to that Air Force base in Fallon, Nevada. I think there’s something afloat, and I believe it’s tied to the world threat of World War III. And I just bring it to everybody’s attention not to bring you down at the last minute, but you have the opportunity to prepare, and it’s time to do that now.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay. Well, Trent Luce, we will talk again next week and we’ll be looking forward to seeing you in January, which is right around the corner.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s coming.
SPEAKER 18 :
It’s going to be here. And of course, we’re in the Advent season as well, which Advent is the four Sundays before Christmas. And I can’t believe that we’re in December, but we are. So Trent Luce, you have a great week and we’ll look forward to talking to you next week.
SPEAKER 10 :
Thanks, Kim. Keep up the great work and you need to give Mark a full hour.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah, well, I’ll let him know. I’ll let him know about that. But yeah, the show comes to you because we are an independent voice and we work really diligently to search for truth and clarity on all of these issues. And I am very hopeful. I could feel that… I was concerned that if we had four more years of the old Biden-Harris agenda, that America as we know it, or we used to know it, I should say, we wouldn’t have it anymore. But we have an opportunity, and that opportunity gives me great hope. So our quote for the end of the show is from Thucydides. And he said, the bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike. And yet, notwithstanding, they go out to meet it. 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.
