SPEAKER 15 :
It’s the Kim Monson Show, analyzing the most important stories.
SPEAKER 11 :
The socialization of transportation, education, energy, housing, and water. What it means is that government controls it through rules and regulations.
SPEAKER 15 :
The latest in politics and world affairs.
SPEAKER 11 :
Under this guise of bipartisanship and nonpartisanship, it’s actually tapping down the truth.
SPEAKER 15 :
Today’s current opinions and ideas.
SPEAKER 11 :
On an equal field in the battle of ideas, mistruths and misconceptions is getting us into a world of hurt.
SPEAKER 15 :
Is it freedom or is it force? Let’s have a conversation.
SPEAKER 11 :
Indeed. Let’s have a conversation. And welcome to 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.

And thank you to all of you who support us. We’re an independent voice. on an independent station searching for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And our word of the day is Havoc. And thank you, Eric, for that suggestion. And Havoc is spelled H-A-V-O-C. And it could be widespread destruction or devastation, disorder or chaos. And it could be waste. And there is a lot of havoc going on right now. We are going to have a special session down at the Colorado State Legislature. The governors call that. And I think there’s going to be a lot of havoc down there at that. But stay tuned. We’ll be keeping an eye on that. Our quote of the day, Mary Jansen had shared this with me. And I thought this is so good. I think I mentioned it on the air, but I thought it was so good to feature this as the quote of the day. And it is, inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard. And if you feel overwhelmed… Just start one thing at a time, and that is, I think, just great advice. Wanted to get through 26 through 30 at the whitehouse.gov. This is the 50 wins in the one big beautiful bill. Number 26, it holds woke, elitist universities accountable by increasing the endowment tax on large universities. Number 27, it protects hardworking taxpayers by canceling Biden’s illegal and unfair student loan bailouts. Twenty eight, it ends taxpayer funded sex changes. It reverses the Biden era mandate that Medicaid cover so-called gender transition procedures, ending the taxpayer funded chemical castration and mutilation of American children. Twenty-nine, it’s a once-in-a-generation chance to revolutionize our nation’s defense capabilities and protect the homeland against new threats by funding President Trump’s Golden Dome. And number 30, it enhances the capacity of America’s naval fleet. The bill provides billions of dollars to revitalize America’s shipbuilding and maritime industrial base. And going back to our quote of the day, inch by inch, life’s a cinch, yard by yard, life is hard. I wanted to talk to Jody Henze. She is with Mint Financial Strategies and really is working to help her clients with their own economic freedom. Jody Henze, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 07 :
Thanks, Kim. Always glad to join you.
SPEAKER 11 :
It’s good to have you. And this inch by inch, there’s different things people really need to do regarding their financial freedom. But it’s also important to plan for things after you pass on, right? It is.
SPEAKER 07 :
And I appreciate the opportunity to talk about that. I know when you think about financial planning, one of the last things you think about is what to do with those assets after you’re gone. And as I shared with you and your listeners last week, my mom passed away last Saturday and it was somewhat unexpected, but one of the things that she did, and it was a gift is she had her estate plan in order. And I was so blessed by that because you’re already grieving. And the last thing you want to do is, have to deal with that at the end. And just imagine all of that emotional and legal havoc that you can cause without having your financial plan and your estate plan in order at the end. So I was grateful that she had that in order.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, it really is a gift to one’s heirs to have all of that in order. It’s not that much fun to really think about it, to think about your death, but it is, as you say, it’s such a gift to your heirs to have all that taken care of. So Jodi, with Mint Financial Strategies, how do you help people make sure that you have all that in place?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, and it is interesting because obviously we don’t do estate plan directly. I’m not an attorney, but we are a comprehensive financial planning firm. And so one of the things that we do as we’re talking to our clients is we do make sure that their beneficiaries are updated. And as you talked about, it’s just baby steps along the way with inch by inch. And so that’s one of the things that I’m always going to address with my clients. And when you talk about freedom and personal choice, estate planning is one of the most direct ways you can exercise your personal rights. Because if you don’t have an estate plan, you die intestate, and pretty much the state is going to decide. So when we’re sitting down with people, it’s going to be one of the questions that I ask. And if you don’t have an estate plan in order, I’m going to give you some recommendations or suggestions on how to get that done.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, that is really important to have all of those things buttoned up. And again, I know my listeners and myself, we certainly are sending you our thoughts and prayers as you’re going through this grieving period with your mother’s passing on. How can people reach you, Jody Henze? I know the first appointment’s a complimentary appointment. And so what’s the best way to reach you?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yep, you can text me at 303-285-3080, or you can check us out on the website, which is mintfs.com.

You can email me at Kim at KimMonson.com as well. And thank you to all of you who support us. We’re an independent voice on an independent station. Let’s get right to it here with Patty McKernan. She is the GOP chair of Congressional District 6, and that’s primarily Arapahoe County. And there’s a very important summit that is tomorrow evening. Patty McKernan, welcome to the show. Good morning, Kim. Well, election integrity is really, really important. And we’ve been told that we have the gold standard here in Colorado. However, as you know, our listeners and supporters contributed money to get two lawsuits filed filed. The first was with United Sovereign Americans. They’re changing their name to Unite for America. And that lawsuit is going to be amended here shortly. And that basically says that Colorado is not meeting the minimum standards as set forth by Congress. And that lawsuit’s out there. And then with Wisconsin Center for Election Justice, a lawsuit that in the last election on a very targeted list, 14,500 people that should not have voted in the 2024 election voted in Colorado. So I don’t think we really do have the goal standard. And you’ve got a summit that you’re highlighting that’s going to talk about some other things as well, Patty.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes, yes. So tomorrow night, 6.30 p.m. We’ll have it live in Arapahoe County and live stream. All of the details for the location will be released tonight. And we are bringing in three people that have spent an enormous amount of time looking into elections. Ever since 2020 when we started flooding the mailboxes with ballots and mail-in ballots became the thing because of COVID, we have been seeing a lot of patterns in elections that are not sitting well. And there’s a lack of transparency in the election system. And when you take, if your listeners recall or have not heard it, Arapahoe County re-released the cast vote records, which is basically the data behind the ballots that they collect on election day and election year, we call it now, because it’s never an election day any longer. And if they can re-release data and say, oh, we missed some sort of a redaction and we’re going to re-release the data, and it changes the view of the pattern of the votes just by manipulating a column or two, what else are they doing in elections? So we’re not accusing Arapahoe County of falsifying the election results, but we don’t know because if they can change the data that they put out on the official website, what else can they do? And so we have three experts coming. Sorry, do you want me to finish that?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, Patty, on that point is that they did this change and basically didn’t tell anybody. So the lack of transparency is, I think it’s really important to understand that. So if they change this cast vote record, there should have been a press release. Instead, what had to happen is somebody had to discover it, right? Correct. Yep.
SPEAKER 10 :
So Ed Solomon, he discovered it. And then supposedly a Yale professor discovered it when he was looking at people that vote down ballot differently. So Trump voters voted the same as Biden voters on the Gallagher Amendment. That’s the big issue that came out. And so we have Ed Solomon coming in to talk about how he discovered what he did. And then Mark Cook going to be speaking about just the whole process in Arapahoe County. We have a woman that manages our elections that worked for Dominion Voting Systems for nine years. And when you start to think about all of the things that are going on in elections, we just want to shine the light on it. So we have them coming in to talk about specifically what happened in Arapahoe County. And then Dr. Douglas Frank, who’s been speaking all over the country, will be coming in to speak about just election patterns. He’s been meeting with secretaries of state throughout the nation, and he’ll be at a Cause of America summit in Grand Junction tonight. He’s coming in here tomorrow. So we are really just taking the flashlight and shining it on what’s happening in Colorado and hoping that we can get to a point where we have really free, fair and transparent elections.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, if we don’t have free, fair, honest and transparent elections, then we don’t really have a country. because that is foundational to a representative government. And for so many years, the Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, who’s a candidate for Attorney General now because she’s term limited as Secretary of State, they have assured Coloradans that we have the gold standard. However, there are so many questions on so many different points. I know people are very concerned about the tabulating machines. And then, of course, here we’ve got this CASFO record that’s been changed. I know there’s a big concern about chain of custody at the post office. I know for a fact that mail-in ballots, the voter rolls, they don’t get cleaned up. I know that because I personally have a stack of mail-in ballots about an inch thick that continues to come to my home for someone that has moved out of state many years ago. There are so many places where where we have vulnerabilities and instead of out there parroting oh we have the gold standard i think most people and that would be moderate democrats unaffiliated libertarians republicans conservatives i think that big broad middle of coloradans they if they really understood that we have these vulnerabilities i think that there will be a demand to get them fixed because we’ve got to have elections that we really can fully trust Patty McKernan.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes, and that’s actually the reason why we’re doing the summit. It is showing exactly what happened in Arapahoe County, but the patterns that showed Trump voters and Biden voters voted at the same rate to identical rate to – to defeat or repeal Gallagher Amendment, which raised our property taxes. That’s not happening just in Arapahoe County. They saw some of that in Jefferson County. They’ve seen something in El Paso County. They haven’t looked at every single county, but this is why we want our citizens to be aware of what to look for, how to keep our counties accountable, and we’re just trying to make sure that people understand what has happened in the last, For what, let’s see, Arapahoe County put out those cast vote records in December of 2020, and a half a decade later, they’re changing them. Now, why do you do that? What possibly, what are the reasons where you can just go in and manipulate data so quickly and say, oh, see, nothing to look at here. It’s just, it’s not right. And we are guaranteed free and fair elections in this country by our constitution. And we’re going to demand transparency and accountability.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, it’s also rather remarkable that that election was certified, I think you said, in December of 2020. And here we are in 2025. It’s taken that long to pass. Catch this, if you will. And by this time, a lot of the election records have been destroyed, which I find that crazy. Now that we have the capability to maintain election records, well, certainly on elections. electronically, I see no reason why these election records should be destroyed. But I think it’s 20, it’s 20 some months for federal elections and 20 some months for Colorado elections. There’s something wrong with that picture. Okay, there’s something wrong with that picture, Patty.
SPEAKER 10 :
There is something wrong with that picture, and especially when – well, they do have images, what they call cast vote – or ballot images, I should say.
SPEAKER 11 :
But don’t they destroy those after 27 months as well? Or they could, couldn’t they?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, here’s the situation. You can put anything up – I mean, look at AI today. You can put anything up on the computer, up on the Internet – and say, look, everything’s great, but until you actually have something to back it up, which are those paper ballots that they destroyed, you can’t do a cross-reference. I remember the, what do they call them, the risk-limiting audit. Well, let’s go back and see if we can find the ballots that they used in the risk-limiting audit and see if those check out. Because those are kind of a joke, too. They pick what they want and say, ooh, let’s make sure that those ballots match what we have on the machine. Well, you can do anything today. I’d like to go back to paper ballots in the precinct and get people engaged and go back to the way we did it for 100 years.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah. Well, I and I think France does that very, very well. So it’s not that it can’t be done. OK, so people are listening. They say, I’d like to attend. How do they figure out how to do that? Because the location is not going to be released until tonight. So what how can people find out about and attend the summit?
SPEAKER 10 :
If you go to Facebook and you look at Parker Conservatives, you look at Arapahoe Tea Party. Arapahoe Tea Party is probably the easiest way to find it. The link to the Sign Up Genius, you can’t read that off over radio. So go to Facebook and look for Arapahoe Tea Party and you’ll look for the Colorado Election Summit, Integrity Summit. And on that is a link to sign up for this and all the details will be shared with the those that register and we’ll look forward to seeing everybody tomorrow night.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. Next question. If somebody’s not on Facebook, is there any way they can get the information?
SPEAKER 10 :
I was hoping we’d put it on your event page, but I don’t know that we got that done. We don’t have, we are just a band of citizens that are volunteering to do this. We don’t have a website. We don’t have, you know, a powerhouse behind us. We’re just people that want to see this done well. So I think if you Google Facebook, you can still get to a Facebook page because those aren’t behind paywalls. You don’t have to sign in. I think you can just see it from Google.
SPEAKER 11 :
Let me talk to Zach. I kind of dropped the ball on that and see if there’s some way that we could put a ribbon on the website and we can talk about that tomorrow. So let me make a note on that and I’ll see what I can do. So we’ll talk about that after the show. And I know you’re going to be on in the second hour as well. So let me go to work on that and we’ll see what we can get figured out. So Patty McKernan, thank you so much. That event is tomorrow evening and stay tuned. We’ll try to get more information for you about that. Thank you, Patty McKernan.
SPEAKER 10 :

SPEAKER 11 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Be sure and check out our Web site. That’s Kim Monson, M-O-N-S-O-N dot com. We just had Patty McKernan on regarding this event on election integrity tomorrow night in Arapahoe County. And you can register at the Arapahoe Tea Party dot com events page. And so right now you can do that if you need that. I wanted to mention the USMC Memorial Foundation, which is raising the money for the remodel of the Marine Memorial out at 6th and Colfax. And it’s so important to support the foundation because it’s a way to honor those that have given their lives or been willing to give their lives for our liberty. And so really recommend that you add that into your repertoire. And please have on the line with me, Dr. Brian Joondepth. He is an author and wanted to talk with him about a couple of his pieces that were recently published. The first at Rasmussen Reports is What Would the Founders Think? An Independence Day Reality Check. Dr. Joondepth, welcome.
SPEAKER 05 :
Good morning, Kim. How are you?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, I am well. And as I was reading this piece, it’s very sobering that only 36% of Americans believe the founding fathers would see today’s America as a success, and 41% think that they would view it as a failure. This is very concerning, Dr. June Depth.
SPEAKER 05 :
It is. It’s really a wake-up call that we have strayed as a country very far from our founding ideals. life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, individual rights, freedom from tyranny, all those things that the founders wanted, we are seeing slip away. We’re becoming an increasingly top-heavy government bureaucracy that’s slowly eroding our individual rights and freedoms, and we’re being taxed and fees and everything into oblivion and lose, losing our rights. What, what we say, what we think, um, people are being punished for. And that’s not what the founders envisioned. And we’re seeing that slip away. And if the founders were to come back today, uh, I think many would be disappointed. This is, uh, um, It’s a republic if you can keep it, and I don’t know that we’re keeping it very well.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, I don’t think that we are, and a lot of it, what I’ve seen with elections is that people get talked into, I think, tax increases. Consultants get paid a lot of money to run these campaigns, and And they might say, oh, it’s just the price of a cup of coffee here or this or that. I am to the point, Dr. June Depp, no new taxes, and we need to get taxes and fees reduced. And a perfect example was this last election cycle. All of these school districts were asking for more money, and people care about education. and people we are saying yes and taxing ourselves into oblivion with this and the results are terrible as far as our kids when i look at this uh i was looking at results and a good school district and there’s maybe only a few out there might have might have almost 50 percent of the kids being able to read and write and do arithmetic at grade level That means 50% of the kids can’t. And until we can get results for all of this money that we’re spending on education, I think the answer should be no to new taxes.
SPEAKER 05 :
And that’s in good districts. You look at districts in inner cities where most high schools have zero students that are at grade level in reading and arithmetic. I mean, it’s disgraceful. And the public schools keep asking for more money and they keep getting it and California has high taxes and it’s a mess. You drive through Los Angeles and it’s like a third world country in some areas. They can’t maintain their roads. They can’t maintain their infrastructure. And what are we getting for our taxes? The government originally it’s for our common defense and welfare, not for funding every crazy idea, all the transgender stuff. It’s ridiculous what we’re spending money on. We’re spending money in Denver on housing illegals. And, you know, I don’t know how many illegals, how many homeless, but the city’s going broke. Denver Health is $150 million in the red, providing uncompensated care. And any efforts to fix this or rectify it by saying, no, we can’t be a sanctuary city and we can’t allow people to just come into this country and into Denver and enjoy all the welfare largesse. It’s just not sustainable. And people are being taxed to support it, and they’re not seeing results from it. There’s no money. They can’t maintain flowers and gardens in the city of Denver. There’s big potholes, and there’s trash on the side of the road. It’s really disgraceful for what was once a beautiful American city.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and the Denver vibe, I talked to an older millennial, and he said, the Denver vibe is gone. And it used to be a cool place to come. I talked with someone that was going to go to a concert, and they had a choice to go to Denver or to Salt Lake. And they decided to go to Salt Lake. I talked with another friend of mine that lives out of state, and she said, we don’t come to Denver anymore. And she said, your roads, the minute you hit the state line, The potholes are crazy as you’re coming in on I-70. I’ve got the cut board meeting, the Colorado Union of Taxpayers board meeting tonight. It’s in Golden. And so I normally go around on C-470. And the roads are terrible, Dr. June Depth.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes. No, they are. And they’re dirty. You drive along roads that were once clean and there’s trash and dirt. That’s part of what our taxes should be going for, is to keep roads clean. Instead, you see trash. You go to some of these cities in the Middle East that are pristine. They’re beautiful. They’re clean. They manage that. Even a lot of European cities are like that. There’s a sense of pride, and they keep it clean. What’s happening with American cities? And Denver is a good example. It’s potholes. It’s trash. It’s homeless people. You don’t see that elsewhere in the world. It’s really disgusting.
SPEAKER 11 :
It is really disgusting. In your piece, you said that Washington, Jefferson, Franklin were men who risked everything on the idea that a free people could govern themselves. And they didn’t agree on everything. And they weren’t saints. We realize that as well. But they had an amazing vision. And that vision is in the Declaration that all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. And I was thinking about… wealth redistribution. That is one of the things. It’s Marxist to take away from people that have produced, to have government give to somebody else. But the founders, the way they envisioned redistribution is that everyday people could go after their hopes and dreams. They could thrive and prosper. And then if they wanted to redistribute their wealth to a charity that they felt was doing a good job, they could do so. And that worked pretty well for a lot of years for America.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, it did. It’s the people that put in the work, and they earned it, and they can choose to do with their money what they want. They can give to charities. Private individuals can support whatever they want. They can support political candidates, political causes, whether you agree with them or not. But confiscating the earnings of people to support those things, that goes against that. People should be allowed to keep the product of their labor. And government really should have minimal function, the national defense and certain infrastructure things. But, you know, what do we need? A Department of Energy, Department of Education, all these departments that cost billions of dollars a year. And what do they do? They just complicate people’s lives. And they’re an impediment to doing business, an impediment to liberty. And yet they continue. And Yeah, Trump is cutting back on some of these. But my guess is four years go by and not a single agency will be eliminated. And I’m not blaming Trump. Congress has to do that. Congress formed all these agencies and they can eliminate them. But my guess is even with a Republican majority, it won’t happen. And that’s disgraceful.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, it is disgraceful, but it does come down to we the people. And you mentioned in your piece that people that trade virtue for comfort or responsibility for handouts is where tyranny can take hold. And we are at the precipice right now of tyranny here in Colorado. I think we are so close to tyranny with this Colorado legislature and this governor in this special session. i think is going to be very interesting that the governor just called because we’re looking at a 500 million dollar hole on medicaid and medicaid is being sold it was sold to us as to to help people that are um you know that really have no other options but when you unpack it and realize that Medicaid dollars are being used to mutilate our children, either pharmaceutically or surgically, through this transgender indoctrination. That is not what that was ever intended for, Dr. June Debt.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s correct. That is not the purpose of Medicaid, and… Yeah, they’re going to cut it. As a physician, I’m pretty confident they’re going to be cutting what they pay physicians, pay hospitals, and physicians will just stop seeing these patients. That’s going to happen very quickly because it’s who in a business is going to take on business where they lose money? That’s clearly unsustainable, and it’s not going to happen. And they’re going to They’re just going to exacerbate it. They’re going to stop paying physicians a reasonable reimbursement for Medicaid, and those patients won’t get seen. Physicians don’t have to see them.
SPEAKER 11 :
But what needs to happen is that Medicaid needs to be paying for the safety net things for people and not all of this other stuff that’s being mandated.
SPEAKER 05 :
I agree. I’m not one to tout Oregon for much, but they have a Medicaid program where they listed all the covered procedures and they had a commission. They had stakeholders from a lot of different arenas. And they decided, you know, here’s the budget, here are the things we can cover and not cover. And they ranked them and they drew a line. Above the line it was covered, below the line it wasn’t. And that could be revisited every six months or every year. But that was a fiscally prudent decision that we can cover these things, but we can’t cover that. And they prioritized what they’re going to cover and lived within their budget. And that makes good sense.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, I hope that Colorado will follow that. I agree with you hardly. Anything that comes out of Oregon, I’m jazzed about, but I think that’s a great idea.

It is reliable, efficient, affordable, and abundant energy from oil, natural gas, and coal that powers our lives, fuels our hopes and dreams, and empowers us to change our own personal climate. And then also check out the website for American Value Center or the Center for American Values. It’s AmericanValueCenter.org. The center is located in Pueblo, co-founded by Drew Dix, who is a Medal of Honor recipient. And he started this great new podcast series. And his most recent three are Changing Culture. Homeland Security and the Inside Threat, and Domestic Insurrection. And he’s got a very important view on all of these things. You can check all that out by going to AmericanValueCenter.org. On the line with me is Dr. Brian Depth, and I wanted to talk with him about a piece that was recently published at American Thinker, and that is The Rise of Democrat Theater Kids. What is a theater kid, Dr. June Depth?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, In general, theater kids are kids that are involved in theater. They’re budding thespians and they’re overly dramatic in their actions and such. I’m referring to politicians that are theater kids. We seem to have a generation now of budding actors and actresses in Congress that love to put on theater. They cry on cue and they stage photos and they’re overly dramatic. And really, they beclown themselves. And it’s not statesmanlike, and people don’t take them seriously. It’s a very type of clownish behavior, and it’s prominently, but not exclusively, on the Democrat side.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she’s pretty good at this theater, isn’t she?
SPEAKER 05 :
She’s very good. And, you know, she’s… She and Trump got into it recently over Trump’s bombing of Iran, and she was threatening impeachment. Trump called her dumb, and she’s like, oh, I’m a Bronx girl, and we eat Queens boys for breakfast. She’s really not a Bronx girl. She grew up in Westchester County in a town where average home price is three-quarters of a million dollars. went to a fancy high school, and in those days she was Sandy Cortez. She wasn’t AOC. So she changed her name, and she’s really not from the Bronx. To borrow a term from the left, she’s guilty of cultural appropriation. She’s acting like she’s a girl from the hood, Sandy from the block, but she’s not. She’s from a upper-middle-class suburb, and she’s pretending that she’s down for the struggle. And a lot of politicians do that. Hillary Clinton has done that, putting on a fake Southern accent when speaking in front of a black church in the South. Yeah, Hillary Clinton is from also upper-middle-class Chicago suburbs. She’s not down for the struggle. So these people are very inauthentic, and They cry on cue. Eric Swalwell on camera will start crying. It’s just childish behavior, and the media picks it up, and the media is like a 70s sitcom where they have canned laugh lines and applause lines, and it’s really kind of silly.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and Jared Polis changed his name also. His given name was Jared Schutz, and he took then his mother’s maiden name. And I find that interesting, these people changing their names. I find that just curious.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, yeah, we had a president who was once upon a time Barry Sotero and then changed it to Barack Obama because it sounded more exotic and interesting. He thought it would further his political career, which obviously it did.
SPEAKER 11 :
So everything’s calculated with all of this theater.
SPEAKER 05 :
It is. It’s these long speeches. Hakeem Jeffries gave an hours-long filibuster over the big, beautiful bill. And a few years earlier, he was decrying the filibuster as a relic of Jim Crow and racist. But yeah, so he’s putting on theater and the media praises him and, you know, how brave and all of this. It’s theater and then people see through it. That’s why Congress has an approval rating in the 20s. Most people have little respect for Congress. And as you mentioned in the previous segment, yes, we try to hold these people accountable. We vote and we get the same old thing. We, we, we have Republican majority in both houses of Congress. Um, yet we had to drag this budget bill over the line. There could be far more cuts in spending. Um, there’s tons of ambassadorships that still haven’t been approved. So these are unfilled. What, what’s the Senate doing? Um, They could be codifying Trump’s executive orders into law. Uh, they could be defunding and eliminating agencies. They’re, they’re not doing that. They’re not reigning in the law fair. They created these judicial districts. Uh, they can defund them if they’re not behaving. There’s so many things Congress could do and they’re not. So we continue to vote for these people and stand in our principles. And what do we get for it? A lot of nothing.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, we’re at a time, Dr. June Depth, where with Donald Trump, he is working to really disrupt this administrative state, which began with Woodrow Wilson. And we have got to get government back in its proper role, not only at the federal government, but at the local level as well. I hear rumblings. I live in Lone Tree. I hear rumblings. That that they’re considering taxing groceries. And I’ve got to get my brain around that because the answer should be no on that. And then recently, within the last few years, Lone Tree increased their sales tax. which, again, and they sold it to the people of Lone Tree that, oh, there’s people that come in here and shop, and they’ll be paying this higher tax. And as my next-door neighbor said, she goes, we shop here. We pay the higher tax, too. So the voters got to really, I think, get a little smarter when these consultants come in to sell these tax increases to us. So we need to be holding people accountable at the local level as well, Dr. June.
SPEAKER 05 :
Absolutely. Denver keeps raising its taxes and people don’t shop there. Cherry Creek Mall used to be an attractive place to shop and now it isn’t anymore because you’ve got to pay for parking now and you pay higher sales tax so it’s easier to go elsewhere or just buy online. They’re hurting local businesses with these taxes. People will find a lower tax town to shop in and maybe they’ll If Highlands Ranch has less tax, they’ll shop there instead of Lone Tree or go to Parker and just rearrange their lives and how they purchase. A lot of people purchase things online to avoid certain taxes, but even that’s getting taxed.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, the really brilliant thing to do would be for a jurisdiction to lower their taxes. That would attract businesses. It would attract shoppers. We’ve got a minute left, Dr. Jundep. How would you like to wrap all this up?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, there’s a lot going on these days. We’ve just touched on two topics, but… The news cycle is overwhelming with the Epstein stuff and Ukraine and Russia and the Middle East and news this morning of the auto pen and who was signing things. What I would like to see is a reckoning for these people. We’ve had very little reckoning. The Spygate, the Russia collusion narrative. Yeah, they’re investigating Brennan and Comey. I’d like to see a reckoning. I’d like to see a reckoning on the auto pen. and who lied about Biden’s mental fitness and all the COVID things. There needs to be a reckoning and a course correction. Otherwise, these things will happen again. And that’s my disappointment that we’ve seen very little accountability. It’s acknowledged that nothing seems to happen and nothing changes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, we’re going to continue to shed light on that. And thank you, Dr. June Depp. We’ll talk with you next month.
SPEAKER 05 :
My pleasure. Bye now.
SPEAKER 11 :
And our quote for the end of the show is an Air Force motto. It says, the difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

SPEAKER 11 :
And great first hour with Dr. Brian Joondepth. And you can hear that hour, if you missed it, that will be rebroadcast today, 1 to 2 in the afternoon. This hour is rebroadcast 10 to 11 at night. We’re on live 6 to 8 a.m. Monday through Friday on all KLZ platforms, which is KLZ 560 AM, KLZ 100.7 FM, the KLZ website, the KLZ app. And so you can find us at all those places. And then we are on Spotify and iTunes after we get all that stuff posted. So be sure. and check that out. I want to say thank you to Hooters Restaurants for their sponsorship of the show. They have three locations, and that is Loveland, Westminster, and the location on Parker Road, which is just down the road from the station. So really appreciate their sponsorship. It’s an important story on how I got to know them regarding free markets and capitalism and those PBIs, those PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties. that like to control things, and that’s not the way it is supposed to be here in America. Our word of the day, and these PBIs raise havoc in our lives, it seems like, many times, and that is the word of the day. Havoc is H-A-V-O-C. It could be widespread destruction or devastation, disorder or chaos, or it could be waste. And Denver is in decline. It’s in havoc right now because of these terrible policies by both the mayor and the governor and the Colorado State Legislature, the city council, and the Denver vibe is lost. I don’t know if we’ll get that back. We’re not going to give it back and get it back with these particular policies. That’s for sure. So your challenge is to use the word of the day, havoc, in a sentence. And thank you, Eric, for suggesting that. And again, that’s H-A-V-O-C. Our quote of the day was something that Mary Jansen had shared with me. And it is this. It is inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard. So look at the job that is right in front of you at this particular point in time and just roll your sleeves up and inch by inch you will accomplish the things that you need to. The two headlines that I wanted to go through is we’re going through from the whitehouse.gov, the big, beautiful bill. They said there’s 50 wins. And this is 25, excuse me, 26 through 30. Number 26, it holds woke, elitist universities accountable by increasing the endowment tax on large universities. 27, it protects hardworking taxpayers by canceling Biden’s illegal and unfair student loan bailouts. 28, it ends taxpayer-funded sex changes. That was never the proper role of government. Number 29, it’s a once-in-a-generation chance to revolutionize our nation’s defense capabilities and protect the homeland against new threats by funding President Trump’s Golden Dome. Number 30, it enhances the capacity of America’s naval fleet. The other headline that I wanted to hit was this is and this is so interesting. This is the Public Rights Project published this. And you can just see their bias in the title or the headline is Nationwide Legal Challenge Grows. 34 more local governments join lawsuit to stop Trump’s illegal immigration coercion. And this lists the new plaintiffs as Alameda County, California, Albany, New York, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Maryland, Benicia, California, Bend, Oregon, Berkeley, California. Chicago, excuse me, Cambridge, let’s see, hold on, Berkeley, goes to Boston, here we go, Boston, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Cathedral City, California, Chicago, Illinois, Columbus, Ohio, Culver City, California, Dane County, Wisconsin, Denver, Colorado, Healdsburg, California, Hennepin County, Minnesota, Los Angeles, Marin County, California, Menlo Park, California, Multnomah County, Oregon, Pacifica, California, Palo Alto, Petaluma, California, Petaluma, California, Pierce County, Washington, Richmond, California, Rochester, New York, Rohnert Park, California, San Mateo County, California, Santa Rosa, California, Sonoma County, California, Watsonville, California, and Wilsonville, Oregon, as if California didn’t have enough problems. And the jurisdictions already in the case are San Francisco, Santa Clara, California, Emeryville, California, King County, Washington, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Monterey County, California, New Haven, Connecticut, Oakland, California, California, Portland, Oregon, Sacramento, California, San Diego, California, San Jose, California, Santa Cruz, California, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Seattle, Washington, and St. Paul, Minnesota. So I thought it was important that you know all of these particular jurisdictions that are suing to be sanctuary cities or counties. And okay, you want to do that? No federal money. And then, let’s see, your voters hopefully will hold the elected representatives accountable in those jurisdictions. These are such important discussions that we have. And I have them because of our sponsors. And the Roger Mangut State Farm Insurance team, Roger’s been in business. He’s going to be celebrating his 50th year. And that is because he strives for excellence as he helps his clients. And so give them a call. At 303-795-8855 for a complimentary appointment. If you bundle your insurance together, you might be able to save some money. And saving money is a really good idea. All of our sponsors I know personally, they all strive for excellence. And in particular, the Roger Mangut State Farm Insurance Team. Roger is in studio right now. And Roger… In comparing rates, rates get to a point where they’re very specific because of each individual is different. And we were talking with Joe just recently. He had a question. As a young person, I know that I got a speeding ticket as a young person. I think a lot of young people get speeding tickets as young people. I changed that behavior. However, does that affect rates, particularly for a young person these days?
SPEAKER 18 :
That’s a great question. Let me back up and talk about… the individual, let’s say Joe, we don’t know, if we have you insured and you’re on the books, we don’t know over a five-year period if you’ve had any tickets. We’re not going into your motor vehicle record to check you out on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, there’s a cost for insurance companies. They’d be spending money they wouldn’t have to, which would augment or negatively impact your rates because we’d be paying the state. for your motor vehicle record so we don’t know you’ve had a ticket let’s say in a five-year window once you have a claim it could be a comprehensive claim broken windshield or could be a collision claim whatever once you have a claim we’re automatically going to run an mvr on you and if we see three tickets in the last five years and they’re all speeding You’re probably going to get a warning letter, if not a non-renewal letter, depending on how many tickets and what period of time. So it’s kind of a secret until you open up a claim for us to do some research on your driving habits. Now, there are times, of course, when the state will notify an insurance company that you had a DUI. And then, of course, we’re going to know that and we’re probably going to non-renew you if you’ve had a DUI. Now, one of the things that are happening in America today, it’s interesting, the Rocky Mountain Insurance Association puts out a newsletter. And let me quote you some information here that might be helpful for you to understand as a driver in terms of trends. But Americans have embraced riskier driving behaviors such as impaired and distracted driving and speeding. We’re talking about cell phones and alcohol or cannabis for that matter. More than 50% of the drivers have reported driving more than 15 miles over the speed limit on freeways. If that’s you, that’s problematic. And until you get caught, you’re probably going to continue to do it. But coming here today to this office for Kim, it was like… dodgeball driving down Interstate 25, people coming up behind me 80 miles an hour, and I’m going 60 because I have to because the driver’s in front of me. I’m holding the steering wheel waiting for a crash. There are a lot of very aggressive drivers out there. It doesn’t make any sense to me to drive that way. So the other interesting statistic here from Rocky Mountain Insurance Association is that impaired driving is up 23.7% for alcohol. Wow, that’s pretty heavy. And as far as your rates go, if you’re the one getting that ticket for alcohol, You’re looking at a $10,000 to $12,000 attorney bill just to get in good stead with all of your legal obligations in the state of Colorado. And if you need a car to work and you have a DUI, there’s a way to do that. But you have to drive to work, to home. They’re going to give you a restricted pattern of driving where you can go. And that’s rare nowadays. A lot of times you’re just slamming the… the jail door in your face, and it’s not necessarily jail unless you hurt somebody, you could, they slam the door in your face because you cannot drive anymore, so you’re gonna use a bicycle, you’re gonna use friends, Think about it very carefully if you’re drinking. And it’s always like, well, I won’t get caught because. When you do get caught, you’re not going to like the outcome.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and so that’s really important to understand. And it’s important for people to understand their insurance coverage as well, Roger. So what’s the best way for people to reach you?
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, listen, you can reach us at 303-795-8855. 303-795-8855. We’re glad to help and coach you. And we do a lot of coaching, by the way. When you call, it’s not just, here’s a number, here’s a quote. There’s a lot to it today, folks, believe me. Not the way it was 10 years ago.

You can email me at Kim at KimMonson.com as well. And please staff on the line with me, entrepreneur and owner of the 88 Drive-In Theater, Susan Kochevar. Susan, welcome to the show. Thanks, Kim. And Susan, I started something new. I was going through some of my books and I found this book that I got when I was back in Virginia. It’s George Washington’s Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation. And so today, this is the one that he had written. He said, sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace, walk not on when others stop. It’s really probably just about good manners. What do you think, Susan Kochuar?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, yeah, I suppose. I think a lot of it’s good manners, and I think there is also some Perhaps strategy might be a good word in that, you know, when you’re trying to work with other people and listen to what they say and put yourself on, not above, but an equal footing, you know, standing when people are standing and things like that, not walking on. Yeah, those things can be important.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, they’re good manners, and good manners actually is a good strategy as well, Susan Kochavar. So before we get into all these subjects, 88 Drive-In Theater, you’re busy right now, aren’t you?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep, this is the peak of the season right now.
SPEAKER 11 :
And you’re open seven days a week, yes? Yes. Yep, seven days a week right now.
SPEAKER 08 :
We’ll do that probably until Labor Day. I’m not exactly sure, but most likely. Right now we have Superman and the F1 movie, which is Formula One racing. So that’s doing very well. The pictures both look great on the screen, nice and bright.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and Superman, interestingly, I don’t know if it was the director or the producer, apparently came out and made some very woke comments. And I had read a piece by Christian Toto that said you would think that these actors and producers and directors would realize that maybe that’s not a good idea. But he referenced the movie. He said the movie wasn’t really woke, though, that the movie was very good.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes, that’s what I’ve heard as well. It’s not woke at all, but the director said his movie is really about immigration because Superman was an immigrant. I would argue he’s actually an alien, which is fine. But the problem is that he called anybody who disagreed with, I guess, open borders and things, jerks. And he should probably read The Room because most of the country supports – getting all these migrants out of our country. And so it didn’t go over very well. He tried to walk the comet back, but we’ll see what happens. I fear some damage might be done to the movie. You know, one of the things, you know, and it’s not uncommon for movies to have, you know, political tones for sure, a point of view. But if you’re trying to influence people, calling them jerks is not going to work.
SPEAKER 11 :
I bet I have a feeling that George Washington would not recommend that in his rules of civility and decent behavior. And it’s really not a good idea to call so many people names if you want them to come see your movies. But I do understand that the movie’s good, though. So that is Superman. And you’ve got that. And Then this other movie, it is, what’s the title of it? It’s the F1 movie. Okay, the F1 movie. Yeah, Formula Racing movie. Okay, and people can get more information by going to 88drivein.net, and all of your information is there. But let’s move over. You really watch what is happening in our country, in our state. You really have your finger on the pulse here. Of what’s going on. This whole Epstein, Bondi, Dan Bongino thing, if people are not aware of it, Pam Bondi, the Department of Justice, they basically came out and said that there’s nothing to see here, that Jeffrey Epstein did not, was not involved. kill. There’s no real list of people that had gone to Epstein’s Island. There’s nothing to see here. And most everybody’s going, wait a minute. And then there are those that are calling for her to step down as attorney general. And Dan Bongino has said that basically it’s either her or me and he’s out of here. So what’s your read on all of this, Susan Kojabar?
SPEAKER 08 :
The entire thing is very strange. You recall, that’s one of the things that Trump ran on, was releasing those Epstein files. Because Jeffrey Epstein is accused of… Actually, I think he was already prosecuted for child pornography, I think, for sure. I don’t think he was… charged with trafficking. In Florida, I think he was charged with child pornography. So Trump ran on releasing all this stuff. At one point before Kash Patel became director of the FBI, he said that the FBI director had Jeffrey Epstein’s Black Book, which contained a list of clients in his possession. Dan Bongino has talked a lot about all of the issues surrounding Epstein, you know, and you also have people like Alex Jones, who’s talked about all the terrible things that were going on and that they were inviting people to Epstein’s Islands, taking pictures of them and blackmailing them. And there seems to be some very high profile people that were involved in that and on on Epstein’s plane. So this is very much something that was promised to MAGA. And they want to see people who are responsible for doing some of the bad things in our country held responsible. justifiably. So that’s kind of where the whole thing started. And then, um, Cash Patel and Dan Bongino went on to, uh, a news program and we’re saying, no, there’s, uh, you know, we’ve seen the tape Epstein didn’t kill himself. And the interview looked very strange and they both looked extremely uncomfortable. So we had all of that. And then, um, we had, um, I can’t remember the order. If, uh, Pam Bondi’s memo came out that said, no, there’s no list. There’s nothing incriminating there. There’s no, you know, nothing there. And then you have the strange cabinet meeting where somebody asked Trump about, you know, the Epstein case. And he got kind of angry and said, are you still, you know, why are you still asking about that? which was very tone deaf because there were young girls that were trafficked. So, um, that set off a firestorm in MAGA. And, um, that’s when, um, something kind of hit the fan and Dan Bongino said, that’s it. I’m out of here because she’s Pam Bondi is bundling this whole, uh, Epstein case. So, uh, I’m not sure if Dan’s going to be out or not. Apparently, Trump talked to him and said Dan’s great. Kash Patel said he’s going to stay. The president came out and said that he supported Pam Bondi. It’s a big mess. And I think people are very upset with the attorney general over more than Justice Epstein case. Lots of people haven’t been charged. Nothing’s been coming out. So I think people are justifiably frustrated and upset.
SPEAKER 11 :
So now the Democrats are demanding that the Epstein files be made public. But yet under the Biden administration, they didn’t want, at least from my understanding, they did. Well, it was not made public, so they were not demanding that it was made public at that point in time. If this is a strategy, this is really kind of, in a way, I think a brilliant strategy. If you now have the Democrats that are demanding that this list be made public, I find this very interesting.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, and Trump has released another memo where he says that the Democrats, this is similar to cross our hurricane and they made a lot of stuff up and put a lot of fake things in the file. That was, I think yesterday that memo came out. So, um, what a mess. I, I, I don’t know. I can’t tell if it’s a strategy. I, I trust Dan Bongino. I don’t know Kash Patel very well, but, um, he was, you know, all over Glenn Beck talking about, um, this situation with the Epstein files. And I saw that Glenn Beck also came out and recommended that Trump fire Pam Bondi. It’s curious and curiouser.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, it is. And so there is a lot that is going on out there. And so this is a stay tuned kind of event. And I think that with Pam Bondi, We really want an attorney general. When Dr. Jundep said that there needs to be a reckoning of so many different things that have gone on, well, that’s going to fall right with, I think, the attorney general. And so this is super important stuff. I’m talking with Susan Kochevar. She is an entrepreneur. She is the owner of the 88 Drive-In Theater, and they are amazing. At the top of their season right now, a couple of really great films, Superman and then F1, which is a racing movie. And so it looks like a fun evening out at the 88 Drive-In Theater.

She’s the owner of 88 Drive-In Theater, and you can get more information about them at 88DriveIn.net. That’s 88DriveIn.net. Susan Kochevar, one of the things that I had mentioned earlier in the show was about Jared Polis changing his name. And it’s kind of messy what happened. This was published in September of 2018. It says, after 19 years, a police report surfaces in Jared Polis’ campaign for governor. So he changed his name, and apparently an employee was… Well, the article says terminated. And so they got into an altercation, and the employee said that she tried to call the police, that he disconnected the phone. Anyway, it’s messy there as well. But he changed his name as he was then moving through his political career. And I’d kind of forgotten that he had done that, which, again, when Brian Judeff talked about… AOC changing her name. It’s very curious, these different people changing their names as they’re moving through politics. And, of course, Barack Obama changed his name as well. I find that all just so curious. But you can find this. This is published at Colorado Politics. And it’s after 19 years, police report surfaces in Jared Polis’ campaign for governor. I do find that very interesting, Susan.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I think it’s quite curious. Well, I believe she alleged that he slapped her.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and grabbed her wrist and pushed her around. Yeah. So yeah, that article there. So yeah, pretty interesting. And that didn’t come out when he was campaigning for governor. No, it did not. Imagine that. Imagine that. Okay, Susan, let’s change gears a little bit. You watch the Federal Reserve closely, and it looks like Jerome Powell, there’s those that are calling for him to step down. So talk a little bit about that.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s really interesting. I don’t know if you follow John Solomon, just the news, but he’s saying it’s going to be a very – Good week for MAGA these next 10 days. And one of the things that Trump has been pushing for is for the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, to resign because, you know, Fed because Trump believes he needs to drop the interest rates on the 10 year Treasury. And by a couple of points, I think you said, and I think that that would help tremendously start our engine so that people can, you know, capital will move around. Hopefully that home interest rates will go down. You have better people talk about that than me, but, but that’s the hope. And that’s what Trump wants so that people can buy homes and, and make other large purchases. So it’s, you know, the Fed now, I think a lot of your listeners probably know that the Federal Reserve is not actually part of the federal government’s private entity, but it’s a group of big banks that set the price of money, you know, and that was set up many years ago. And I don’t think that was a good idea at all. That’s not free market capitalism. But so, so Trump is very frustrated with Jerome Powell and wants him to drop the interest rates. And so far, Powell has reserved, claiming that the tariffs will impact inflation. Of course, we have not seen that. In fact, we have seen the reverse. And jobs are starting to pick up. And it was reported, I think it was on Friday, that the United States, for the first time in 20 years, has a $127 billion surplus. So which would indicate that, um, Trump’s policies are working. So, um, is that a trade surplus?
SPEAKER 11 :
Is that, it’s probably a trade surplus. Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
I, I not clear on that. I don’t know if the surplus is coming from, um, the gold cards and tariffs. I think that’s what I think it’s coming from. Um, so, so those things will be good things. And, um, You know, it’s very tough for the president to get rid of a Fed chair, but there seems to be a line of thinking that Trump could fire Jerome Powell, and he has to, of course, have good cause. Well, it turns out that Jerome Powell was in front of Congress testifying about the economy and things the Fed was doing, and he was talking about this new building that the Federal Reserve is putting up. $2.5 billion for this new building. And it comes complete with granite curbs and gutters, I guess. And it has a pool swimming pool with rooftop gardens. So that is a very, I mean, talk about tone deaf, you know, Americans are struggling. He’s spending $2.5 billion on a building. I mean, you know, um, um, it’s like the stuff of, I guess, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in Let Them Eat Cake. I mean, they live in Versailles, which is beautiful, and the people have nothing. So it’s just, it’s incredible. So we could see Jerome Powell resign or Trump make more moves to fire him this week. We’ll see, I guess, the Fed meets at the end of the month. We’ll see if he lowers the interest rate. I know there is a lot of pressure on him coming from everywhere, including I think one of his chairmen, one person that sits on the Federal Reserve Board who owns Pulte Homes, and he’s talking about how great that would be for the economy to drop the interest rates. And I think it would, and people trying to buy homes, especially our young people.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, definitely. And the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, which was during the time with Woodrow Wilson. That’s where we did a couple of other things. We had the income tax amendment that was passed at that time. And also that was where we changed representation, how it was elected, that the US Senate members used to be elected by the states, and then it became a popular vote. All those things at that time put in place this progressivism, which now we are all these years later looking at the effects of this. And we’ve got to get all this stuff turned around. And an interesting thing on the Fed, when I’ve talked with Lorne Levy, who is our mortgage specialist, He said that the Fed looks at data and then will make their decision on interest rates. But and you alluded to this and Lorna said this as well, that Powell and company, instead of looking at data, they’re now trying to look into the future, saying that they think that these tariffs could create inflation. And as you mentioned, that’s not the case. So now it’s not only that they’re looking at data, but they’re using this supposed crystal ball. And I don’t think those two things match up with what they’re supposed to be doing on that, Susan Kochvar.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, they’re dabbling in the politics and assessing policies and their impact. And, of course, that’s not their role. So it’s really strange. You know, you touched on something else, too, with the changes that were made around 1913 and especially changing the way that our senators were elected. Initially, when the country was set up, each state was a petri dish sort of thing, and they would test policies if you didn’t like politics. a state you could, you know, butt with your feet and leave. And the states were set up to compete so that you get the best ideas. And of course, that would help you treat your people better, you know, not grow your government and some things like that. So, you know, those senators then represented, were supposed to represent their state. And now that that was changed in 1913, and now they’re the same as the House of Representatives. And I think that really damaged the country.
SPEAKER 11 :
I think it did as well. And so this just came in on the text line, and I think that you’ll find this interesting. And Jenny is so creative. She came up with OPM, which is other people’s money. She just came up with this one, T, taxed enough already. And she said that the Wellington Fire Department wants to raise sales tax by 0.5%. And they already gotten a windfall with Gallagher. They unionized and they still want more money. We’ve got to get to a point where we say no. I think, no to all these new taxes. And again, a jurisdiction who, from a competitive standpoint, has a lower tax rate, they will attract businesses, they will attract shoppers, and because they have more businesses, more shoppers, their tax revenues will actually go up even though they have a lower tax rate. And so we have got to really start this drumbeat. I like this T, taxed enough already, Susan Kochavar. Your final thought.
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely. Government has an insatiable appetite for our money, and we have got to stop them.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, we do. And Susan Kochavar, your website, and again, you’re in high season at the 88 Drive-In Theater and a couple of great films right now.
SPEAKER 08 :

SPEAKER 11 :
And welcome back to the Kim Monson Show. Check out our website. That’s kimmonson.com and sign up for our weekly email newsletter. As you know, the two nonprofits that I feature on a regular basis on the show is the USMC Memorial Foundation, and they are raising money for the remodel of the Marine Memorial. It was dedicated in 1977. It’s located at the corner of Colfax and 6th Avenue. And it is so important that we support the foundation. And it’s our way to honor those that have given their lives or been willing to give their lives for our freedom. And then the Center for American Values is located in Pueblo on the beautiful Riverwalk. And they do several things. One of them is their Portraits of Valor, which is just so inspiring. There’s portraits of over 160 of our Medal of Honor recipients and their quotes. And it’s just a very special place. But it’s co-founded by Drew Dix, a Medal of Honor recipient, and he started this very important podcast series, Words from the Silo. You can find it at AmericanValueCenter.org. And his most recent ones are Our Changing Culture, Homeland Security and the Inside Threat and Domestic Insurrection. So be sure and check that out. We have Patty McKernan on the line. She was on in hour number one, but we thought it would be important because sometimes we have people that are in and out on listening to highlight this event tomorrow evening. It’s in Colorado’s Election Integrity Summit. Patty McKernan, welcome back.
SPEAKER 10 :
Good morning, Kim. I’m glad I get to come back after Dr. June Depp because he said the right thing. He said we need a reckoning. And the reason why we’re doing this election integrity summit is because we need a reckoning to make sure that our elections are fair and transparent for the state of Colorado. And I actually think that this is something that Tina Peters needs as well in this state so she can stop being a political prisoner. So this is a really important summit tomorrow night, and ArapahoeTeaParty.com is where you can find the sign-up on their events page. I think it’s even on the home page. So I’m hoping that anyone that wants to attend will. RSVP today will get you the details of the live stream or coming in in person. It’s free, but we are asking for donations because we do have to pay for Dr. Frank’s travel. Dr. Douglas Frank will be our headline speaker, and it’s the door that we’re going to open to try to make things right in Colorado and make voting transparent.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, transparent and honest. We need free, fair, honest, and transparent elections. And I think the big, broad, middle Coloradans, that is what they want. And that would be moderate Democrats and unaffiliated and conservatives and Republicans and libertarians. I think all of us want to make sure that we have free, fair, honest, and transparent elections. So this is very, very important. and go to the Arapahoe County Tea Party website.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, Arapahoe Tea Party. Don’t say county, Arapahoe Tea Party.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, ArapahoeTeaParty.com, the events page. You can register, and then once you’re registered, you all will reach out this evening and let them know what the location is, correct?
SPEAKER 10 :
Correct, correct. It’s in central Arapahoe County. We’ll get those details out tonight.
SPEAKER 11 :
Patty McKernan, are we not in crazyville that we have to have a location that is somewhat hidden because of the concern that there might be protesters that would try to shut down the event, which means what they’re trying to shut down is a conversation about free, fair, honest and transparent elections. I think it’s important that people connect that dot, Patty.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I was thinking about saying that as well, Kim, because this type of an election integrity summit was to be held a few years back. And the, you know, the left got a hold of the venue and the venue. It was a church in Cherry Creek. And they said, no, no, no, no, we’re going to do it. Well, they started, you know, doing the doxing and all that other stuff. And so the church said, nope, sorry about that. And they’re back up. Same thing happens. So this time we’re not giving them an advance notice of where they need to show up to try to intimidate the location. It’s really sad because tonight I’m going to be working really hard to get the information out to the hundreds of people that have signed up. But… That’s the world we live in. We also live in a world of people that just want to say, I don’t want to hear this. This sounds like conspiracy. I don’t want to believe this. You guys are crazy. And we’re not. We’re witnessing a little tiny redo of a spreadsheet that’s on an official county website that And it changes the bar graph and it doesn’t change the outcome of the entire election, but it changed votes. It literally changed votes. So we can’t have this. We have to have free and fair and transparent elections in this state, or we’re going to continue to have 1312 at the Capitol and, you know, all of the crazy things that they tax increases, everything they’ve been doing at the Capitol will continue if we can’t get this straightened out.
SPEAKER 11 :
And then we need to have a a media that is searching for truth and clarity on highlighting these issues, and that’s one of the things that we work diligently to do here at the Kim Monson Show. We’ve got just a few minutes left, but earlier I mentioned Jared Polis had changed his name, and there was a piece in 2018 in Colorado Politics But this is, let’s see, one of our listeners said, we went from just changing a politician’s name to now changing a gender. And it’s crazy. And then the other thing is, is that there was legislation down at the state house that would allow inmates to change their names to their new gender name. Well, then that makes it really difficult to follow criminals if they’re changing their name while they’re in prison.
SPEAKER 10 :
Think of sex traffickers or sex offenders, right? Right, right. We’ve got to do something about this state, the state that I was born and raised in and that I love dearly.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, it’s in decline right now, Patty McKernan, and that is why elections are so important. And to anybody out there where they say they’re taking this narrative, oh, there’s nothing to see here. Well, one has to say, well, wait a minute. I want to confirm that there’s nothing to see here. And that’s what’s so crazy is that there are those that are trying to shut down the conversation about this, Patty McKernan.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes, we will always have people, and it doesn’t matter what their party is. There are other radio personalities that have tried to shut down everything about Tina Peters that she was trying to preserve in terms of election integrity, and it’s kind of a racket, and I think we want to expose it and have Just honest people and virtuous values here in Colorado again.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, we need to do all of this, Patty McKernan, to reclaim our state. And one question, we have just a few seconds left. One of our listeners asked, is the media going to be there?
SPEAKER 10 :
We think we might extend an invitation to Kyle Clark today. We just haven’t put it out in the media ahead of time because we don’t want to have all this This nonsense about trying to shut us down. So I did invite the county commissioners and I know at least one is coming and the commissioners emailed back and said, there’s nothing to see here. Okay, there you go. Why don’t you come find out for yourself and in the Q&A we can talk about it.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s great. OK, and you can sign up at ArapahoTeaParty.com. Patty McKernan, thank you for the tireless work. You are also the GOP chair of Congressional District 6. And I so appreciate all that you are doing to reclaim our state.
SPEAKER 10 :
Thanks, Kim. Thanks for the help in terms of exposing this issue and inviting people to the summit. Thank you.
SPEAKER 11 :
Absolutely. And our quote for the end of the show is this. It’s an Air Force motto. It says, the difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer. So today, be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way. My friends, you are not alone. God bless you, and God bless America.
SPEAKER 12 :
