Our featured author in this episode is Jason McBride. We're bringing you the recorded highlights of a recent book event, a talk by McBride titled: Autobiography, Autofiction, Autoeroticism. It took place  in downtown Windsor and was hosted by The University of Windsor's Humanities Research Group. In his talk, Jason McBride discussed his first book, Eat Your Mind: The Radical Life and Work of Kathy Acker, the result of a ten-year project that produced a biography of the punk-rock era experimental novelist. Kathy Acker's novels have been described as “visionary” and “transgressive,” with titles that include Blood and Guts in High School; Empire of the Senses; and Pussy, King of Pirates. She wrote about love and the limitations of language, as well as gender, sex, capitalism and colonialism.Jason McBride is a journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, New York magazine, The Believer, The Village Voice, The Globe and Mail (Toronto), Hazlitt, and many others. He lives in Toronto, and he recently wrote a piece on Windsor for an article in Maclean's called THE GREAT ESCAPES: 10 Places in Canada to Visit Right Now. The event and the recording took place at the University of Windsor's School of Creative Arts. We'd like to thank Jason McBride, the author, as well as Dr. Kim Nelson, Director of the Humanities Research Group, and Trevor Pittman from the School of Creative Arts for their assistance in putting this podcast together. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Eat-Your-Mind/Jason-McBride/9781982117023https://macleans.ca/culture/travel/best-places-to-travel-in-canada/

Eric Newman and Medaya Ocher speak with Sabrina Imbler, a Brooklyn-based writer and science journalist, about their debut essay collection, How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures.  Part creature feature part memoir, each essay explores the life of a unique sea animal as a means of illuminating key experiences from Sabrina's own life story. Across essays the life of a Chinese sturgeon is a catalyst for understanding a grandmother, a whale necropsy for understanding a dying romance, or a bloom of slippery slopes who help us understand the ephemeral joys of queer gathering. Across the collection they ask us to think about how our lives mirror those of the animals around us, especially the ones who so often escape our gaze, just like the darker facets of our own personalities and histories. Also, the writer and curator Jordan Stein, author of Riptales, returns to recommend Eat Your Mind: The Radical Life and Work of Kathy Acker by Jason McBride.

On today's episode of the ProcureSmart(er) podcast, we are joined by our guest, Chef Jason J. McBride,  who shares his experience in the hospitality industry, specifically restaurants, over the past 18 months.We do a medium-dive on what differences we see in the labor shortage and supply chain issues from our respective sides of the border, and Jason shares his passion for helping those overlooked during this crisis. 

Memorial Day weekend is a time for reflection and to honor those who gave up everything, their families and life, to fight evil and protect our Liberty. To honor all those who have served, next week The Kim Monson show will feature three World War II veterans who survived the perils of war. This Sunday on KLZ 560 AM and KLZ 100.7 FM at 3pm and 10pm, MT, America's Veteran's Stories will feature Aaron Peterson, a veteran who flew Chinook helicopters in Afghanistan; a country void of Judeo-Christian values. We must never underestimate the God-given gift of freedom; we must protect our liberty—the responsible exercise of freedom. In Colorado and throughout the nation we see the regressive/progressive leftist agenda working to take away our freedom and replace it with government control through weaponization of policy, unpredictable & excessive taxation, fear, coercion and inflation. SB21-009 Reproductive Health Care Program uses your taxes to provide regressive/progressive leftist non-reproductive products to illegal immigrants at an initial cost of over $4 million the first year. Kellogg's new cereal and Legos rainbow edition are part of the regressive/progressive left's indoctrination of our children, at an early age, of the LGBQT movement. Our kids are falling behind because of all of this nonsense. There are limited hours in the school day. Schools SHOULD be using the school day to teach kids to read, write, do arithmetic and critically think so that our kids can compete on the international level. As Tucker Carlson explains on his show Wednesday, May 26th, children are suffering from the barrage of misinformation that transgenderism provides happiness. Carlson interviewed a young man who was interviewed by Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes. This man's search for happiness thru transgenderism actually pushed him to consider suicide. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, reflects on those who have given us our freedom. Freedom includes working toward your independent, personal wealth. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to discuss your financial portfolio and plan for your future. Frequent guest Rick Turnquist, author and blogger (toadvancefreedom.com), discusses with Kim his reasons for leaving the regressive/progressive state of Colorado for the “Red” state of Oklahoma. Top on his list, he swore he would never pay a cent to Sen. Faith Winter's sponsored Paid Family and Medical Leave Initiative. Rick refuses to live in a state of tyranny and chooses a state with limited government and individual responsibility. Oklahoma values fossil fuels, one of the pillars of modern life. The Oklahoma legislative body is predominantly Republican and Rick has already offered his expertise to educate fellow conservatives on the values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and how to not let government take them away. Rick notes that Democrats do not really care about people, but only use them to implement their regressive/progressive leftist policies. States must override the assault on our God-given rights and we must elect people who will conserve and preserve our God-given rights.

Kim and Producer Steve discuss the new administration's rapid dismantling of Trump's policies and which is having a negative impact on the people.  Kim notes there is a great awakening happening and a great tsunami of hope is on the horizon.  Lorne Levy, mortgage specialist with Polygon Financial Group, states that mortgage rates actually pulled back slightly.  Lorne explains the relationship between the 10-Year Treasury Note and mortgage rates.  Give Lorne a call at 303-880-8881 for professional assistance whether you are purchasing a new home or looking to refinance. “Big business and big government like each other.”  United Airlines announces “Your Shot to Fly Sweepstakes,” their program to coerce people to get the COVID vaccination (experimental drug) even though it is not yet an approved by the FDA.  SB21-016 Protecting Preventive Health Care Coverage will raise costs for everyone as new health mandates are added to current coverage.  The Colorado State Supreme Court rules that lawmakers can raise property taxes without taxpayers' consent per HB21-1164 Total Program Mill Levy Tax Credit.  At the same time, Aurora School Board states that they will keep all employees even if their job position is no longer needed.  So far 11 employees will be kept on at an anticipated cost of $2.7 million; that's $245,000/employee.  Where is the fiscal responsibility for taxpayers?  Where is all this money going?  They are not paying teachers $245,000. Jason McBride, Vice President for Presidential Wealth Management, explains the importance of having the proper plan in place.  One must consider the role of taxes and how to mitigate them.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to set up a planning session to analyze the best financial strategies for your personal requirements. John Spence, Colorado State Director of the Electro-Magnetic Task Force, and Joe Weiss, international authority on cybersecurity, control systems and systems security, discuss the distinct difference between informational technology cybersecurity, Colonial Pipeline as an example, and operational cybersecurity.  Operational control systems (think power, electricity, water) need to be examined and unfortunately the Harris/Biden/Rice administration does not realize nor acknowledge its' extreme importance to our lifestyle as control systems are left out of the recent Presidential Order signed May 12th.  Two hundred electric transformers in America have been purchased that were manufactured in China.  One is in Ault, Colorado.  We discovered that a transformer shipped from China to the port of Houston has a “back door” that allows China to bypass security and destroy the transformer.  Replacement parts would have to come from China and would take close to a year to reinstate the transformer.  Large electric transformers are the “Achilles' heel” for the United States and if attacked would put us back to a 1850's lifestyle.  Automation of our systems allows easy manipulation of our systems and we need a “Manhattan Project” to thwart this threat.  John and Joe encourage people to contact Rep. James Langevin from Rhode Island, as he has been the most proactive Congressional member to address control system security going back to 2007.

Kim starts out strong with the Battle of Ideas, Freedom vs Force-Force vs. Freedom, adding coercion as a new element of force. It has been reported that Polis is setting up a $1 million lottery to incentivize people to get the “COVID vaccination,” which in reality is an experimental drug that has not been approved by the FDA. Kim apologizes for the challenges Thursday regarding the Candid COVID Conversation and notes that the recording of the web event is online without any interruptions. HB21-1321 Voter Transparency in Ballot Measures is based on envy, is dishonest, and will grow government. The Lundberg Newsletter sums up the disastrous Colorado session this year-based on bills that will most probably be signed by the governor regarding limiting your Second Amendment rights, Colorado's haven for illegal aliens, transportation and taxes, global warming crisis narrative, public health option, shutting down our electric utilities, and election integrity. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, sees underlying pressure with market selling. There are strong earnings reports coming out. Jason offers, with no obligation, a risk assessment of your portfolio. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600. Guest Jay Davidson, CEO and Founder of First American State Bank, addresses the collusion between big government and big business as they are the two most powerful entities and go hand-in-hand to influence policy and kill competition. The “revolving financial chair” is one example of the interweaving of the two as the same people go in and out of government filling top financial positions. The Battle of Ideas is an ideology based on freedom of the individual or control by the state citing government as the solution. Our Constitutional Republic is not about having people dependent on government but instead recognizing the rights of the individual to flourish and prosper. Jay explains “velocity of money” and its impact on inflation. Quantitative Easing (QE) is harming the economy as the Treasury Department is printing money to keep up with Congressional spending. Jay notes that we have not yet seen the economic effects of possible trillions of dollars of spending under the Biden/Harris/Rice administration policies. Elon Musk is a great example of how someone who is extremely smart and innovative has taken advantage of government subsidies that begs the question, “Why can't electric cars stand on their own without the use of taxpayer's money?” Many will remember the Solyndra debacle and wasted money. Jay ends with Benjamin Franklin's words, I give you “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

Happy Monday! Kim invites her listeners to the Inaugural Web Salon Series Candid COVID Conversations. Experts in the field of medicine, resilience, neighborhood safety and education will join Kim this Thursday at 6pm. You can register here: kimmonson.com. Kim takes a look at HB21-1311 Income Tax, another run around TABOR (Taxpayer's Bill of Rights) with increased taxes. Researcher Patti Kurgan joins Kim for a few remarks on SB21-260 Sustainability of the Transportation System. Patti states that there are two key questions that need to be answered by the sponsors of this bill: (1) Why is there no sunset clause on all the fees? (2) And , Why can't SB97-1 be reinstated and let SB21-260 die? It is estimated that approximately $200 million/year for General Fund dollars for transportation projects would be generated. This would result in no new taxes veiled as fees for Colorado residents. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, states unequivocally that any more taxes is a flat no. Jason states that your personal financial portfolio should ascertain your known factors. Annuity check-ups and financial asset evaluations are a necessity. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to set up a session, and he promises to not charge you a “fee.” Guest Ben Murrey, Fiscal Policy Center Director at the Independence Institute, comments on SB21-260 Sustainability of the Transportation System. Ben notes that the fees embedded in this bill should be presented to voters at the ballot box. $3.8 billion of the $5.3 billion cited in the bill comes from fees. Ben explains when Enterprises came into existence, and what a fee was and what it is becoming. Voters in 2020 clearly stated, with the passage of Proposition 117, that voters want a voice on any new fees. SB21-260 is reverse Robin Hood as lower income people will be paying for electrical vehicle subsidies for the highest earners. Ben hints at a ballot initiative in November, 2022, on reducing the gas tax if this bill is signed into law. HB21-1311 Income Tax has familiar tones of HB20-1420. Tax deductions for businesses are reduced in favor of increased earned income tax credits that benefits illegal immigrants without a social security number. A fair tax is a flat tax without advantages carved out for select groups of people.

Greg Lopez, candidate for Colorado governor 2022 (Lopez2022.com) and past Director of the Small Business Administration Region VIII, is in studio with Kim.  America's Veterans Stories can be heard Sundays at 3pm and 10pm on KLZ 560 AM and KLZ 100.7 FM.  This week's Marine Veteran Manert Kennedy shares his story of the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir.  Greg believes the governor of the great state of Colorado must lead, and this includes speaking out against bills that the state legislature is passing that harms its residents.  The state legislature is circumventing TABOR (Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights) with high taxes veiled as fees.  Policy is hurting our standard of living and our pocketbooks.  The Federal Government is printing money that leads to a lower standard of living and the burden of debt to future generations. Lorne Levy, mortgage specialist with Polygon Financial Group, speaks to the rise of inflation.  Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, referenced that the Biden infrastructure plan may cause inflation, which sparked a negative reaction from the stock market.  Yellen then backtracks on her comments to counter the reaction.  However, inflation is clearly visible.  Mortgages can still be obtained in the 2% range.  Give Lorne a call at 303-880-8881 to discuss and get your loan prequalified.  Kim's Salon Series is back with a webinar Candid COVID Conversation.  Lakewood City Councilwoman Ramey Johnson and Kim will moderate panelists Dr. Jill Vecchio, Matt Durkin, Priscilla Rahn and Sue Kenfield on May 20th at 6pm.   Tickets will be available starting tomorrow. Kim and Greg discuss SB21-256 Local Regulation Of Firearms.  This state bill is a direct attack on the U.S.  Constitution and proves that state legislators do not understand our founding document.  The legislators also ignore the obvious.  The problem is not the gun but the person who is holding the gun; responsibility starts with the individual. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, refers to the U.S. Constitution as a document that does not need any additions.  Let it stand on its own.  With inflation creeping up and the cyberattack on Colonial Oil, it is important to evaluate your risk tolerance.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review your financial portfolio and your comfort level to analyze if changes need to be made. Kim and Greg resume their discussion on SB21-256, a bill that goes after law abiding people who carry concealed firearms.  Greg stresses the importance of contacting state legislators regarding proposed bills and show up to testify in committee hearings.  America's government is supposed to be of the people, by the people and for the people.  Vote!  Insist on election integrity with your county clerk.  Greg explains how some counties process ballots and how vote tabulations are reported.  Without a doubt, we now know that every system can be hacked, with the Colonial Oil cyber attack as exhibit A.  Greg and Kim switch gears to talk about the Wuhan-China virus disruption and the experimental drug referred to as a vaccination.  Greg concludes the conversation stating that we must stand up and represent ourselves.  Do not lose heart or hope, and instead be bold and courageous for our American values.

Kim and Producer Steve begin with a discussion on reassessment notices on home values hitting mail boxes and the hidden tax increase in the notices.  The Salon Series is back with a webinar on May 20th at 6pm for a Candid COVID Conversation.  Dr. Jill Vecchio, Matt Durkin, Priscilla Rahn and Sue Kenfield will be panelists as Kim and Lakewood Councilwoman Ramey Johnson serve as moderators.  HB21-1162 Management Of Plastic Products calls for the ban on plastic bags and styro-foam containers.  North Carolina looks to implement their own Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR).  It is met with dishonest claims regarding Colorado's TABOR history. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, talks about the advantages to perform an annuity analysis for your financial portfolio.  Many people believe that annuities are complex and leave them out of financial strategies.  Jason highly recommends a no-cost meeting with him to schedule an annuity review of your annuity.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600. Guest Roger Hays, CEO/Founder of Premier Employer Services (premieremployerservices.com/), a consulting, compliance, payroll service and other HR functions for businesses, dissects what he considers the three worst state bills for employers.  First on his list is HB21-1232 Standardized Health Benefit Plan Colorado Option.  Costs will go up for healthcare.  The Insurance Commissioner, an appointment by the governor, will be able to “dictate” policy with immense power and control.   Second on the list is SB21-176 Protecting Opportunities and Workers' Rights Act.  This bill includes many different ways to define harassment which does not have to be pervasive but only a one off.  Costs to an employer can easily start between $40,000-$50,000 for defense.  Legislators are attacking small businesses that have been crippled the most due to COVID-19.  Roger finishes with SB21-197 Workers' Compensation Physician, a bill that will allow an injured worker to select their own doctor and can change at any time.  Colorado has a great worker compensation system and this will allow employees to “shop” for a doctor.  Unfortunately, many state legislators believe business owners are rich, greedy and evil instead of job creators, service and merchandise providers and individuals who care about their employees and their customers.

THANK YOU TO HELEN JEAN MITCHELL FOR HER SPONSORSHIP/PARTNERSHIP OF THE SHOW! Helen Jean Mitchell joins Kim in studio and begins the week with inflation on their minds. Kim announces a new Salon Series web event being held on May 20th with tickets going on sale this Wednesday. Candid COVID Conversation will feature Lakewood City Councilwoman Ramey Johnson and Kim as hosts. Panelists include Dr. Jill Vecchio explaining the virus, symptoms, treatments & the vaccine, Matt Durkin addressing COVID crime, Priscilla Rahn regarding the education of our kids and Sue Kenfield, expert on resiliency and mental well-being. HB21-1294 K-12 Education Accountability Systems Performance Audit is accurately assessed by Representative Larson who states that this is a “diversion of resources and … time.” We need to teach students the basics instead of using a clipboard to check off boxes, and get to the root of why scores are stagnant. The Democrat state legislators controlling the government are poised to never allow TABOR (Taxpayer's Bill of Rights) refunds as they work on financial “gymnastics.” Representative DeGette (CD-1) comes to the aid of the Homeless Industrial Complex as she works to pork barrel federal funds to her district to buy a hotel for the homeless. These federal funds do not really exist. Money is being printed and we are pledging the future of our kids and grandkids for the pork barrel spending. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, states that to defend against inflation is one of the toughest actions one can take. In the past gold was a hard asset to acquire but there is no longer a gold standard. Some are looking at cryptocurrency and Jason warns about its volatility and vulnerability. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review your financial portfolio and discuss strategy for future success. Helen and Kim discuss the Five Pillars of Prosperity presented by Dr. Art Laffer. Dr. Laffer is known as the “father of supply-side economics.” Laffer is an economist and past advisor to President Reagan. In 2016 he was an advisor along with Stephen Moore to President Trump. The Five Pillars are: (1) The Lower the Taxes the Better; (2) Stop Excess Spending; (3) Good Monetary Policy; (4) Less Federal Regulation and; (5) Free Trade. Some of the key points include taxation punishes people, Washington is out of control, freedom of choice brings responsibility to spending, excessive regulation limits freedom and prevents competition, and free and fair trade is essential for human flourishing and prosperity.

Kim begins with a Soviet Dictator Vladimir Lenin quote, “America will spend itself out of existence.” Current government proposed policies are anti-American and by design have an end goal that elites will rule. The far left activists that have taken over the Democrat party want to own the fruits of our labor and make us “equal in misery.” America's Veteran's Show this week highlights Vietnam Marine Veterans Mike Frazier and Grady Birdsong. Both men contributed a chapter in the book Echoes of Our War: Vietnam Veterans Reflect 50 Years Later. The show can be heard at Sunday at 3pm on KLZ 560 AM and KLZ 100.7 FM. The show is rebroadcast at 10pm. Consider a donation to restore the Veterans Memorial in Golden at usmcmemorialfoundation.org. HB21-1295 Rebuttable Presumption In Charter School Appeals is a blatant attack on charter schools at a time when parents are looking for alternatives in their student's education. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in Denver will rule on the future of TABOR (Colorado's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights). Governor Polis and Attorney General Weiser willfully ignore the people in their effort to declare TABOR unconstitutional. Hal Van Hercke, owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool (castlegate.com), talks about plans to redistribute wealth by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and their statement, “you will have nothing and you will be happy.” Biden uses the WEF motto, “Build Back Better.” Hal is concerned about hyperinflation as he sees double digit inflation with his vendors. Be aware that the additional cost is passed on to you, the consumer. The proposed transportation bill is a work around the people as taxes, veiled as “fees,” is the substance of revenue and millions of dollars going to non-transportation projects. Money mismanagement again at the core of government policy. Make your voice heard! Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, remarks on the phrase, “sell in May and go away.” There is data going back to 1950 that exhibits a positive 0.6% growth rate May through October and a productive 7.5% growth rate November through April. The catch is you would have to do this on a yearly basis to get the full effect. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review your financial portfolio and give you the confidence that you are on the right path to success. Guest Dr. Brian Domitrovic, author of Econoclasts: The Rebels Who Sparked the Supply-Side Revolution and Restored American Prosperity and JFK and the Reagan Revolution: A Secret History of American Prosperity, states his optimism for America once again. Brian does not agree with the opening quote by Lenin and instead believes that the entrepreneurial spirit and the individual mind to move forward when opportunity presents itself, even in the education system, will be the ultimate winner. We can emulate the 2019 trajectory of prosperity. The envious government under Biden is setting itself up against the people. The Harris/Biden administration is threatened by capitalism and its' belief that government can take care of people best is a false premise. This false premise will destroy the elite making this proclamation. Interesting to note that Brian references Kennedy's assassination as a changing point in America that allowed the creation of the leftist cultural revolution.

Kim starts out strong and agitated as she gives a teaser to her disgust for SB21-260 Sustainability Of The Transportation System.  Ridiculous that some Republicans support this bill.  Next week Kim will devote her time and energy to dissecting this bill and why it should never become law.  America's Veterans Stories can be heard Sunday at 3pm on KLZ and replayed at 10pm.  Kim will interview two veterans profiled in the book:  Echoes of Our War: Vietnam Veterans Reflect 50 Years Later.  Kim reports on the absurdity of the Pentagon cancelling the veterans group rally on Memorial Day.  Show your support to our veterans by donating to the United States Marine Corps Memorial Remodel in Golden at usmcmemorialfoundation.org.  Biden also pulls the fireworks display on July 4th at Mount Rushmore.  South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is suing the Biden administration on this federal unpatriotic overreach. Dr. Jill Vecchio joins Kim to discuss the experimental drug vaccine forced requirements at major universities and colleges, although this “vaccination” is not approved by the FDA.  Truth rings loud citing Benjamin Rush's comment back in the 1780's:  Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.  Dr. Vecchio strongly encourages listeners to read the Front Line Doctors white paper White Paper on HCQ 2020.2 (americasfrontlinedoctors.com)and watch this youtube video by Valuetainment as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Alan Dershowitz aggressively debate the vaccination, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfnJi7yLKgE.  Kim recognizes today as National Prayer Day and asks the Divine Provider (God not government) to not abandon us but to save and bless our country. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, asks, What's the point?  Even if someone gets a vaccination they are told to social distance and wear a mask; nothing changes.  Switching gears, Jason talks about annuities.  He suggests investors call him at 303-694-1600 to do a free annuity review.  A review of your financial portfolio is important for success going into the future. Karen Levine, award winning realtor with RE/MAX Alliance, talks with Kim about property rights.  As a board member of The National Association of Realtors, Karen is

Lorne Levy, mortgage specialist with Polygon Financial Group, joins Kim in studio.  Inflation is at our door.  Owning assets, including a home, during inflation can be beneficial as prices increase.  Cash flow is important and individuals must assess their own finances.  Lorne notes mortgages are still in the 2% range depending on credit score and other measurements.  Pre-qualification is a must during this low inventory “spring selling season.”  Lorne can be reached at 303-880-8881. Kim gives a preview of Sunday's show, America's Veteran's Stories.  Kim continues her series on the book Echoes of Our War: Vietnam Veterans Reflect 50 Years Later.  Listen in at 3pm on KLZ.  The grand “awakening” is happening as people realize what is happening to America with radical policies implemented and more proposed.  Biden raises the refugee cap as illegals flood the southern border.  SB21-252 Community Revitalization Grant Program picks winners and losers by using grant money (taxpayer's money) to revitalize “creative industries.”  Who defines “creative industries?”  Another program building bureaucracies with a bureaucracy. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, on a rare occasion admits that he is “stumped.”  Inflation is one of the toughest events to defend against.  It is important to have a solid plan and a diversified financial portfolio.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review your finances to find out if you have exposure that can be mitigated. Guests Mike Thompkins and Marc Auville join Kim in anticipation of Grand Lake Colorado's 10th Anniversary of Constitution Week.  In 1956 President Eisenhower signed a proclamation declaring September 17th Constitution Day.  Tom Goodfellow, founder of Grand Lake's Constitution Week, realized its importance and has been ringing loud the liberties and freedom given to us by our Constitution.  This year the event will take place September 13th-18th.  Information can be found at:  www.grandlakeusconstitutionweek.com/  Festivities include fabulous speakers, parade with a fly over approved by the Pentagon and fireworks to end the week.  Consider making your overnight reservations now.  The Western Riviera is one suggestion.  Important to note that the 10th Annual Celebration is funded by donations from the public and it is an all-volunteer event.  Mike and Marc also talk about the fires that touched Grand Lake last year.  They are thankful for the first responders, specifically the firefighters who risked their own lives for the community.

Image credit: Maricopa.gov Susan Kochevar, owner of the Historic 88 Drive-In Theatre, joins Kim to converse about the greatness of America and the continued assault on its foundation of liberty and freedom.  Email your dissent on potential changes to HIPAA rules that will loosen patient’s privacy  at:   Proposed Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rule To Support, and Remove Barriers to, Coordinated Care and Individual Engagement.  Establishment consultants continue to negotiate against conservatives such as political and media consultant Frank Luntz.  Terms limits needed for bureaucrats; for elected officials it takes place at the ballot box. Chris Cantwell, Senior Business Advisor with Transworld Business Advisors, discusses the need for businesses to have an exit plan regardless of how far in the future it may happen.  There is significant growth of those wanting to be entrepreneurs.  In reality the two are connected, and that is where Chris can help.  He has vast experience in helping owners sell and people wanting to be their own boss.  Give Chris a call at 844-SELL-BIZ. Kim and Sue dissect SB21-246 Electric Utility Promote Beneficial Electrification.  This bill is filled with multiple force words and includes demand-side management (DSM) policies, which was exactly the problem in Texas during the recent winter storm.  To top it off, it is very misleading as it states that fossil fuels are inefficient.  Kim and Sue then reviewed a recent CPR article on police reforms in Colorado.  Crime has increased across the board in Colorado.  If we do not have safe communities, we will not thrive and prosper. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, talks about risk tolerance for investors.  As some people relate today's market to the internet bubble in the 1990s, people are assessing their risk tolerance.  Jason will help you evaluate risk in your financial holdings and review any possible changes that you may be thinking about.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600. Jen Hulan, entrepreneur and owner of Waters Edge Winery, highlights specials for Mother's Day.  Jen has also ordered “Free Breather” pins.  They should be available within the next two weeks.  Check out her website wewdenver.com Frequent guest Josh Phillip, Senior Investigative reporter with The Epoch Times and host of Crossroads, begins by addressing the Arizona audit on the 2020 Presidential Election.  The current audit of 2.1 million ballots from Maricopa County has been challenged by the Democrat Party in court and in the mainstream media.  The Democrat Party is losing on all fronts as the audit continues.   Audit security has been questioned.  Election laws were changed across the nation at the last moment which has led to va

Kim begins the week informing listeners  that comments on HIPPA proposed policy changes regarding patient medical data is due by May 6th.  The link is: Federal Register :: Proposed Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rule To Support, and Remove Barriers to, Coordinated Care and Individual Engagement.  We are seeing common paths to the Democrat radical left bills in Colorado that are pushing Marxist ideas.  Don't be discouraged as there is an awakening.  The Divine Provider had his hand on the founding of America and continues to this day. Colorado Representative Tonya Van Beber is co-sponsor of HB21-1191-Prohibit Discrimination COVID-19 Vaccine Status.  University and colleges, as well as employers, are mandating the COVID-19 vaccination, which is an experimental gene therapy drug not approved by the FDA.  The Colorado government is allowing employers and educational institutions to be the “long arm of the law.”  We cannot be complicit and allow medical tyranny.  The bill is scheduled to be heard on Wednesday, May 12th, in committee. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, comments on the markets maintaining an upward trend.  Many companies are reporting earnings and may show fluctuation in stock prices.  Risk tolerance is personal and that is where Jason can help you.  He will examine your specific needs, desires, responsibilities and goals when strategizing for your financial portfolio.  Call Jason at 303-694-1600. Guest Orson Swindle, Marine pilot, North Vietnamese Prisoner of War, former Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce during the Reagan administration, has a conversation with Kim on 2021 America.  Orson talks about his experience as a POW and how he got to know California Gov. Reagan, a firm supporter of  Vietnam Veterans.  As a POW all he had was his heart and his head.  When he came back after six years and four months, he saw vividly how progressives had taken over our society and the destructive path the country was on, and continues to be.  Education has failed us miserably.  Massive government build up will destroy our economy.  Socialism has never worked.  There is an assault on our intellect; we must think critically.  The radicals are using “Swarm Theory”—overwhelm your opponent from every possible direction.  We can overcome this.  Read history and be inspired by the people who have fought for our country.  Change the education system by being involved with our children/grandchildren.  Support Congress and state legislatures to say “no” to socialism and Marxism.

It's Turnquist Friday!  Rick Turnquist, blogger and author, joins Kim in studio to discuss the intentional misleading narrative regarding forced minimum wages and his featured op-ed, Minimum Wage Fail (kimmonson.com/featured_articles/minimum-wage-fail/).  Minimum wage jobs are a means to learn skills and gain experience for future, better paying jobs.  HB21-175 Prescription Drug Affordability Review Board is all about price controls. Hal Van Hercke, founder and owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool (castelgate.com), addresses minimum wage.  It is appalling that politicians continue their assault on small business while having no business experience themselves when pursuing more draconian policies.  Minimum wage can easily wipe out the average profit of 7% for many small businesses.  If entry level job salaries are increased, everyone above them will be looking for an increase as well.  Employers will look to job reductions, automated jobs and delayed hiring to preserve their businesses if forced minimum wages are implemented. Dr. Jill Vecchio, radiologist saving lives and informing listeners weekly on important medical issues, discusses new proposed HIPAA rules.  Dr. Vecchio summarizes the new proposed changes and the results of the changes including phone vendors will not be restricted by HIPAA and the patient's medical records will no longer have restricted access.  Visit this link to read the proposed changes:  https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/hhs-ocr-hipaa-nprm.pdf.  Dr. Vecchio encourages people to make comments.  Comments are due by May 6, 2021.  On page 2 of the document the following information is given: You may submit comments to this proposed rule, identified by RIN 0945-AA00 by any of the following methods: Federal eRulemaking Portal You may submit comments to this proposed rule, identified by RIN 0945-AA00 by any of the following methods: You may submit electronic comments at Federal Register: Proposed Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rule To Support, and Remove Barriers to, Coordinated Care and Individual Engagement Regular, Express, or Overnight Mail: You may mail comments to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights, Attention: Proposed Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support, and Remove Barriers to, Coordinated Care and Individual Engagement NPRM, RIN 0945- AA00, Hubert H. Humphrey Building, Room 509F, 200 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20201. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, comments on annuities.  Jason can sift through the verbal complexity so you can have a complete understanding of annuities and the benefits that can be advantageous to your financial portfolio.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to set up an appoin

Kim and Producer Steve discuss the importance of new “leadership” to work on Conservative candidate recruitment with a commitment to the proper role of government.  The America's Veteran's Show will highlight veterans from the Vietnam War profiled in the book, Echoes of Our War:  Vietnam Veterans Reflect 50 Years Later.  The show can be heard on Sunday on KLZ from 3-4pm and is replayed at 10pm.  Employers, especially in the restaurant industry, have difficulty finding employees as the government incentivizes people to collect unemployment instead of working. Chuck Bonniwell announces a press conference at CU-Boulder, noon today as John Eastman will give notice of claims against the university.  This should have been John's last day of teaching at The Benson Center for the Study of Western Civilization at the University of Colorado.  John contends that CU-Boulder is in breach of his contract, it defamed him with both students and faculty, and the university went against his First Amendment Rights.  Chuck states that there is no conservative thought at the university and only teaches indoctrination. Andi Buerger, founder of Beulah's Place (https://beulahsplace.org/) and Voices Against Trafficking (https://www.voicesagainsttrafficking.com/), notes April  is the Prevention of Child Abuse Month.  Unfortunately, there have been huge spikes in child abuse during the Wuhan-China virus reaction disruption.  We must teach children that they have the right to be safe and not be touched by others, regardless of relationships.  The right of the victim is priority.  See something, say something—Hear something, say something. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, remarks on John Eastman's press conference.  If you cannot have your voice heard, it does not matter what you know as the right to freedom of speech is infringed upon.  Jason emphasizes the importance of your own economy.  A good thorough financial plan encompasses looking at taxes, inflation rates, healthcare costs, debt and retirement, to name a few factors.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review your financial well-being. Karen Levine, award winning realtor with RE/MAX Alliance,  is a strong advocate for protection of rights, especially property rights.  Single Family Zoning is being attacked by the Biden administration.  Zoning should be kept at the local level and not at the federal level as potential changes will do exactly this if Biden's Infrastructure Program is accepted in its present form.  If you are interested in homeownership, or have a home to sell, give Karen a call at 303-877-7516. Guest Bob Boswell, CEO and Chairman of Laramie Energy, joins Kim to discuss the importance of fossil fuels and the fallacies of the all-renewable energy movement.  California is the prime example of failure.  Xcel is facing a lawsuit as they want to charge ratepayers $41 million for a buyout of a solar project.  Vestas is closing a wind turbine plant in the U.S. eliminating hundreds of jobs.  Renewable energy workers compensation is significantly less than that of the fossil fuel industry.  John Kerry once again exhibits ignorance when addressing the complete elimination of CO2; CO2 is part of our ecosystem and is essential to life.  Honest conversations are not being held, instead a proliferation of mistruth

Kim and Producer Steve note the American Revolution was a revolt against taxation without representation.  Today we have taxation with representation, which begs the question, “Who is being represented?”  Be diligent in the usage of words and counteract the narrative in place by the radical left.  When freedom of speech is shut down, we are in a dangerous place.  HB21-1207 Overpayment Of Workers’ Compensation Benefits and SB21-197 Workers’ Compensation Physician on the surface looks benign but the devil is in the details.  The 2020 Census shifts district seats from blue states to red states.  Colorado gains 1 Congressional District seat.  Election integrity is of extreme importance.  Term limits are debated. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, comments that the markets continue to move upward.  Now is a good time to plan for the future, and a ROTH account could work well into a financial portfolio.  Pay taxes now instead of at higher rates as Biden introduces higher taxes.  You can do a ROTH conversion without cashing in your funds.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to discuss this strategy. Guest Ben Martin gives a summary of the ground covered in his series starting with the French-Indian War up to the Battle of Bunker Hill, including the formation of the Continental Army.  Ben then explains how American patriots made their way to Charleston, South Carolina.  After the Boston Campaign, troops walked to New York City at which point Major General Charles Lee made defensive plans because a city surrounded by water would be difficult to defend against the British navy.  Lee is sent to Charleston and defends Charleston against the British under the command of Major General Henry Clinton and Commodore Peter Parker.  The American defense on Sullivan's Island prevented the British ships from entering the narrow channel that led to the Charleston Harbor.  This American victory resulted in support from the southern colonists for independence.  Interesting to note that the revolutionary years are similar to today in that people are not given choices but were/are told what to think and say.  The Revolutionary War denied the right of power to a “King.”  Liberty is the responsible exercise of freedom.

Kim and guest Brad Beck, co-founder of Liberty Toastmasters and author of op-ed Comply:  I Don't Think So, talk seriously about virtue vs. vengeance and then jump to humor and its ability to diminish stress and increase the enjoyment of life.  Kim previews American's Veteran's Stories for this coming Sunday at 3pm on KLZ.  The show continues to profile Vietnam Veterans highlighted in the book Echoes of Our War: Vietnam Veterans Reflect Fifty Years Later. Mandy Gunasekara, founder of Energy 45 and Former Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that during the Trump years Colorado saw significant economic growth.  The Green New Deal will be detrimental to Colorado if its proposed policies are actually implemented.  Jobs will disappear to overseas and consumer costs will increase due to energy increases.  Big government and big business like each other and work together at the detriment of mid and small business.  To learn more, visit sectionvii.com. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, adds to the conversation citing energy independence is highly valued by Americans and enhances their freedom of mobility.  Jason then pivots to individual's economic growth stating annuities are something to be considered for most financial portfolios.  Jason will meet with individuals to review your annuities and help you understand your investment.  Knowledge is power.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to set up an appointment to discuss. Lorne Levy with Polygon Financial updates listeners about current mortgage rates.  The roller coaster ride continues and people are able to get a 30 year loan in the 2's.  Pre-qualification takes 15 minutes and will be very helpful when submitting a contract for a home.  Give Lorne a call at 303-880-8881. Kim and Brad continue their discussion by directing their attention to the bill of the day, SB21-243 Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Appropriation Public Health Infrastructure.  The new buzz word for politicians is “infrastructure” and its new definition.  Weaponization of local health departments allows elected representatives to hide behind draconian policies.  Brad, like many others, wants to live his own life and flourish.  If the experimental drug that has been branded as the COVID-19 vaccination is so good, why do people still need to wear masks?  And why is this experimental drug pushed so hard and other experimental drugs such as cancer treatments, are not?  People need to make choices for themselves and not have them by a third party.  “I am going to color outside the lines,” concludes Brad.

Kim begins the show stating how valued her listeners are. She loves hearing from everyone. Producer Steve chimes in to express his gratitude as well.  Thank you! Jen Hulan, owner of Waters Edge Winery (wewdenver.com), reflects on her resiliency over the past year. Her network of friends helped tremendously as well as her optimism and ability to pivot her business perspective based on customers comments. One outcome is a new gluten free menu. Jen also gives a teaser about her soon to be announced new location for wine production. Kim and Producer Steve comment on two bills signed by Gov. Polis yesterday, HB21-1106 Safe Storage of Firearms and SB21-078 Lost or Stolen Firearms. Steve notes that both bills appear as common sense, something lacking in society today. Kim gives a different explanation, stating that this is another way for the government to get into your home under the guise of protecting our children. If the radical left are so interested in protecting children, why do they support millions of children to be killed through abortion? Representative Mullica, one of the primary sponsors of the House bill, was also one of the “Cruel 17” who voted against last year’s compassionate “no one should die alone” legislation. Jason McBride, Senior Vice-President at Presidential Wealth Management and expert at examining risk tolerance for people regarding their financial portfolio remarks on various financial instruments. Jason recommends an annuity check-up; they are not complicated and he is willing to dissect the details with you. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to set up an appointment to review your financial goals and examine the track you are on. Guest Sue Kenfield, master at resiliency work with individuals, companies and non-profits (suekenfield.com), joins Kim to discuss how we can move forward as we get out of the Wuhan-China virus disruption. Sue shares her childhood experiences that taught her resiliency skills and the fact that your childhood does not have to define your life. Many people have had an assault on their freedom and have a sense of fear with the unknown. People need to take responsibility of their actions knowing that they can control many of their circumstances. The closure of Kroger stores in California have left people jobless through no fault of their own. PBIs (Politicians, Bureaucrats and Interested Parties) mandated a $4.00 increase in “Hero” pay. In turn, because of exorbitant costs Kroger closed two of their stores. Now employees are out of a job and community members do not have a local market to buy grocers. This added another layer for the employees who were already dealing with significant stress.  Although difficult, people must reflect inward and concentrate on the successes in life and not always the challenges. If your mindset is to always control your thoughts in a positive manner and be grateful for what good has happened for you, you can bring favorable changes into your present circumstances.

Kim and Producer Steve converse on the juxtaposition of the Bill of the Day, HB21-1263 Meeting and Events Incentive Program and Allen Thomas' recent op-ed published on The Kim Monson Show website, No Freedom in Exemptions (kimmonson.com/featured_articles/no-freedom-in-exemptions/).   Why should government tax hard-working people to pay for others vacations and meetings?  What does the government have about honest competition?  Control!  Maxine Waters is in Minnesota inciting violence.  Where is the due process? Dr. Dana Cheng, co-founder of The Epoch Times, relays the facts surrounding The Epoch Times printing presses being destroyed last week.  The Communist China Party is afraid of the truth and will rule in two ways:  by guns and pen.  The Chinese media is completely controlled by the CCP and will not allow any independent voice.  The CCP negates the agreement that Hong Kong was to remain independent for 50 years.  America is having a “virtual” sledge hammer to its media as we see censorship escalating.  Control media and you control voices.  This is accomplished by lies, creating division within society and suppressing other voices.  Dr. Cheng also talks about international concerns regarding China's role with Taiwan and its impact across the globe. Jason McBride, Vice President at Presidential Wealth Management, helps people with their own economy.  Markets always have corrections.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to assess your comfort with your current investments.  Annuities can be good financial products to have in your portfolio and may be an option to add. Guest Brigitte Gabriel passionately pleads with Americans to get involved before it is too late.  Brigitte shares her childhood story of growing up in bomb shelters in Lebanon.  Prior to the radical extreme Islamist's take-over of her country, it was a Republic, just like America.  “My past is America's future.”  America is entering into a totalitarian regime with a Vaccination Passport.  Taking private information, including health information and using it for a government ID sounds a lot like Communist China.  We are seeing the slow “boil of the frog” example in America in regards to public policy.  We can maintain our freedom if we stand up against the radical left.  Act for America (actforamerica.org) helps patriots organize and educate.  The elite Deep State is running the country and it doesn't care about borders or your freedom.  Join this organization to make a difference.  Election integrity is a top priority.  Brigitte is optimistic.  Optimism brings hope!

Colorado is at the tip of the sphere for the totalitarian movement trying to take over America. People are now exiting high taxation and draconian regulations in states like Colorado. Remember, socialism is not about “free stuff.”  The freebies are the carrots on the stick.  Join Kim for her interview with Jimmy Doolittle's granddaughter Jonna Doolittle Hoppes on American's Veteran's Stories, 3:00pm, Sunday, April 18th, on KLZ 560 and KLZ 100.7 FM to learn about the WWII Doolittle Raid. SB21-130 Local Authority for Business Personal Property Tax Exemption is a welcomed relief to business owners. Hal Van Hercke, owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool (castlegate.com), remarks on the mismanagement of unemployment compensation funds.  Colorado has a deficit over $1 billion and it continues to climb everyday.  We must ask, “Why is the governor not using federal stimulus funds to cover this cost instead of placing the burden on business owners?” Owners are anticipating a 84% increase in their unemployment compensation tax. Hal encourages everyone to call representatives, senators and the governor on this issue as it affects us all. After your calls, stop by Castlegate to see the largest selection of knives in the western states. Dr. Jill Vecchio joins Kim with an update on the J&J vaccinations and reported blood clots which are extremely rare. Visit cdc.org to learn the truth about the “pause.” The facts are there. The pause is not to analyze the possible removal of the vaccination but to educate those administering the shot. Know that it is extremely difficult for doctors to report adverse reactions of the Wuhan-China virus vaccination and the process is completely voluntary. This is very different from what has taken place with the reporting of Wuhan-China virus cases and deaths, especially since money was/is flowing into pockets. St. Vincent Island will only allow vaccinated people on boats to evacuate the island. Hydrocloroquine has been proven to be effective but ignored by many in the medical industry. Jill highly recommends reading this white paper:  www.americasfrontlinedoctors.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/White-Paper-on-HCQ-2020.2.pdf. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, comments that you always need to follow the money. In regards to the vaccinations, PHARMA continues to receive payment from the government. Following the money, the DOW closed over 34,000 yesterday, an all-time high. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review your portfolio and discuss strategy to protect your assets. Guest Allen Thomas, author of his recent op-ed No Freedom In Exemptions, stringently states freedom of speech is infringed upon when the government uses force, including Republicans in Georgia recommending to strip Delta Airlines' jet fuel tax credit of $35 million and federal antitrust legislation against MLB.  Republicans should not fight like progressives by weaponizing government but instead should strip progressives of t

Sunday is the 79th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid. Over Japan in WWII.  Join Kim 3pm on Sunday, April 18th on KLZ 560 and KLZ 100.7 FM for her interview with Jimmy Doolittle's granddaughter Jonna Doolittle Hoppes on American's Veteran's Stories.  SB21-103 Sunset Office of Consumer Counsel sounds benign until you read the bill. Add this to the cost of $1.4 billion to ratepayers by Xcel's closure of coal plants and we see once again the elites taking massive amounts of money out of the pockets of hardworking Coloradans.  Karen Levine, award winning realtor with RE/MAX Alliance, reports that although homes are coming onto the market they are quickly purchased.  This has led to higher costs for home buyers.  When purchase cost is coupled with home energy costs and taxes, home affordability impacts many potential home purchases, especially first-time home buyers. Give Karen a call at 303-877-7516 knowing that her professional advice will help you in the right home purchase even during this time of housing constraints. Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas joins Kim to discuss the county's commissioners' resolution to take control of Wuhan-China virus restrictions.  Tomorrow, April 16th, Douglas County will be fully open.  Governor Polis gives local governments the “right” to enforce their own set of regulations.  The one exception is that masks must still be worn per the governor's executive order.  Douglas County made an agreement with Tri-County Health that the county does not have to abide by their regulations. Federal Funding is very complicated and it is anticipated around January, 2023, Douglas County will separate itself from Tri-County Health.  Commissioner Thomas remarks that this is the first opportunity for the county to get out of the government's draconian regulations. Some counties and businesses that did not strictly adhere to the governor's orders were quickly visited by state revenue officers.  Many businesses were closed, fined, and some experienced the seizure of their inventory.  Do note that most times this was done without due process. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, is in the business of helping people make decisions that will affect them throughout their life.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to discuss the risks in your financial portfolio and examine if there are opportunities to better protect your assets.  Do not get too comfortable with market highs.  Things can quickly change. Guest David Horowitz, author of The Enemy Within and a “red diaper baby” (he grew up with communist party parents), talks about the serious political climate we are witnessing today.  Everything revolves around race.  The Democrat party states that “systemic racism” is found in every fabric of society. If this is true, why are there black students at universities, black policemen, black politicians, black doctors, black attorneys, black bureaucrats, etc.?  The radical left elite is smearing America.  This false narrative is seen today in Minneapolis as we examine the history of Mr. Wright, and the due process for the police officer and city manager.  This is a totalitarian movement. Interesting to note that BLM donations go to ActBlue, the major donation center for Democrat candidates and the co-founder of BLM is buying numerous homes for multiple millions of dollars.  The left has weaponized racism and the Wuhan-China virus and both were used to get rid of Trump.  Biden is working at warp speed to get the radical left agenda accomplished.  Horowitz says we can win this battle by organizing, taking back our schools and reversing the indoctrination of our students.  Our founding fathers never used race nor gender in our founding documents and we should not today.  Instead, we need to instill western values and the American Idea that a

Susan Kochevar, owner of the Historic 88 Drive-In Theatre, joins Kim in studio to discuss how Colorado has become the petri dish for national policies.  The America's Veteran's Stories show this coming Sunday, April 18th, on KLZ at 3pm is on the 79th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid and Kim will be interviewing Jimmy Doolittle's granddaughter Jonna Doolittle Hoppes. SB21-233 Colorado Department Of Labor And Employment Unemployment Insurance Division Enterprise establishes a third party vendor to administer unemployment funds in an enterprise for the “left behind workers” aka illegal immigrants.  This will be paid by employers, is unsustainable, and another assault on small business owners.  The PAUSE ballot initiative will now go before the Colorado Supreme Court because of objections that it does not follow the single subject requirement.  Polis' Meatless Day was a test to see level of support; in actuality, numerous Meat-In events were held across the state in support of ranchers. Software must be examined relative to election integrity; manipulation of votes is easily achieved through software.  Susan states that Private-Public Partnerships (PPPs) are oligarchies, the marriage of big business and government taking over small businesses.  This is very dangerous for the health of the U.S. economy and the people.  Follow the money.  Look at who is donating to the politicians encouraging PPPs.  PPPs use the force of government against business owners and citizens and the risk is placed upon the taxpayer protecting the private corporation of severe financial loss. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, agrees with Susan's assessment of PPPs.  Risk tolerance always needs to be analyzed in any financial decision, including personal accounts.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to assess your risk as you plan financial goals for the immediate and distant futures.  There are solutions to protect your portfolio if the market reverses its recent positive trend. Guest Dr. Brian Domitrovic, economic historian and co-author of JFK and the Reagan Revolution:  A Secret History of American Prosperity, joins Kim and Susan for a discussion on multiple topics including:  currency, China, “thought leaders” complacency, envy of the elite, decline and destruction of the dollar.  Colorado's fiscal problems should not exist because of its pre-Wuhan-China virus economic success.  Desperation of the elite politicians and their proposed policies will not be sustainable because the American spirit encompassing our founding principles that all men are created equal with rights endowed by our Creator of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness will triumph.  Brian's optimism is highlighted throughout the discussion, which gives us all hope that western values will be preserved for many years to come.

Kim talks about her upcoming show, America's Veteran's Stories, continuing the interviews of Vietnam Veterans profiled in the book, Echoes of Our War: Vietnam Veterans Reflect 50 Years Later. The show airs on KLZ at 3pm this Sunday. The electorate needs to be informed and ask the six Rudyard Kipling questions: What? Why? When? How? Where? Who  Censorship is a great danger to our country. The southern border is anything but compassionate to the children. HB21-1246 PERA Public Employees’ Retirement Association Divestment From Fossil Fuel Companies is full of force words such as “exclusion” and “require.” This bill forcibly excludes capital investment opportunities in fossil fuel companies in an attempt to starve the industry.    Hal Van Hercke. owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool, has the largest retail knife store in the western states. Visit his website, castlegate.com, to view his complete inventory. Hal discusses with Kim the $1 billion deficit in the state unemployment fund. Colorado is borrowing from the federal government to cover this deficit and additional expenses incurred each week. The state is looking at placing a surcharge on already financially stressed businesses. Hal and Kim ask the compelling question, “If the state has received multiple billions of dollars in COVID-19 stimulus money, why is the money not being used to pay off this deficit instead of radical left pet projects?” Kim talks about a upcoming “miracle.” Polis states that the virus should be gone by mid-June and all seats will be occupied for the MLB All Star game in July. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, chimes in with Kim and remarks the definition of “miracle” has reached a new low. The stock market is holding steady and behaving cautiously  NASDAQ is once again above its 50-day average. Give Jason a call at 303-964-1600 to establish a plan that will chart a financial course looking at where you are today and how to get to your financial goals in the future. Guest Alma Tucker, founder and President of International Network of Hearts (inhearts.org), explains how human traffickers are looking for the most vulnerable, children, to exploit. With families streaming to the southern border from many Central American countries, many running away from difficult situations in their own country, parents willingly allow traffickers to take their children over the border thinking this will be their “ticket” into America, the land of Opportunity. The smugglers, cartels and organized crime use the children for selling drugs, sexual exploitation or labor. Alma started INH in 2010 to prevent human trafficking and to provide services to those who have been exploited. Alma tells the heart wrenching story of a twelve old girl. Border crossings are rising way beyond any resemblance of control.

Thank you to my good friend Helen Jean Mitchell for her sponsorship of the Kim Monson Show.  Kim and producer Steve are joined in studio by Helen Jean Mitchell, sponsor of the broadcast, to discuss censorship. The radical left lacks intellectual curiosity and does not want to be challenged on their ideas. The battle of the narrative and attacks on “conservatives” is seen as far back as the 19th century. SB21-205 2021-22 Long Appropriations Bill budget of $34.1 billion is 11% higher than the current year. “Economic resiliency” is questioned while Kim references the World Economic Forum byline, “Build Back Better,” to current Colorado and national policies. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen proposes a global minimum tax to the G-20 while Biden's Infrastructure Package raises the corporate tax to 28%. Most believe the global minimum tax is to prevent U.S. corporations from fleeing to other countries as they have done in the past. Kim emphasizes the NGO's (Non-Governmental Organization) pay no taxes. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, expresses no surprise regarding Yellen's proposal. There is no better way to control corporations than through taxes, rules and regulations, etc. Many of the larger corporations are highly interconnected with the government and will most likely be granted exemptions, once again picking winners and losers and shrinking the business community. It is important to plan now before policy consequences hit your portfolio. Valuations are 2 to 3 times higher than normal and predictions include a hard decline for the market at some point. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to discuss your portfolio to examine if you are protected from a severe adjustment in the markets. Guest Sharyl Attkisson, host of Full Measure and author of numerous books including her latest, Slanted: How the News Media Taught Us to Love Censorship and Hate Journalism, joins Kim and Helen to discuss censorship and toll roads. Censorship is an organized campaign to curate our information to control our thinking. No longer secretive about this, the media openly admits they are banning opposing views. This is done in desperation because too many people are not listening to the special interests which were clearly visible in the number of people voting for Trump in 2016 and 2020. Journalism itself is redefining its role and reveals its mission with comments like, “good that neutrality is being eliminated.” Even Lester Holt, when receiving the Edward R. Morrow award, states, “fairness is overrated.” Sharyl recently filed a new lawsuit against the DOJ regarding her investigative story on Fast and Furious; the DOJ continuously puts up roadblocks hoping she will go away. Dynamic tolling is coming to your community, it's just a matter of time. Follow the money as these sliding tolls are highly unpopular with the general public but loved by politicians. Sharyl concludes that we should not live in the box called the internet. Do not give up. Stand up for our country and our right of freedom.

Kim and Producer Steve are joined by Cynthia Sarmiento, founder of Just Defy (justdefy.org) in studio.  The trio begin with a conversation on the Battle of the Narrative.  Two words come to mind immediately, conservative and Democrat.  The Blueprint was written as a Colorado experiment and the “petri dish” proved to be successful.  Basic tenets have been exported to other states.  Constant and inflammatory language is constantly being used by the radical left in our schools and in mainstream media.  The Wuhan-China virus has alerted parents as to what is being taught through zoom classrooms.  Cynthia states that apathy and indifference is what will take down this country.  HB21-1121 Residential Tenancy Procedures is another chip away at private property rights.  Major League Baseball takes the All Star Game away from Atlanta because of false reporting on the new Georgia voting law.  Interesting to note that you must present a valid ID to get your tickets at the stadium window.  Similar to Coca Cola who supports the MLB and also demands valid ID to participate in shareholders meetings.  We must defy this socialistic movement through individual responsibility.  Cynthia is working to bring people into the fold through her organization Just Defy.  People are already participating in politics even if they are not aware of it.  Politics in into you. Cynthia is training and educating people as to how they can help stop what processes have been taking place which have brought negative results continually for the Republican Party.  In its place, innovative thinking  will bring success. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, agrees that we need new thinking to motivate and organize people.  Biden last Friday admitted that people who earn $200,00 will experience tax increases as a result of his Infrastructure Plan.  Taxes are always one of the great unknowns when planning for the future.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review your financial plans and discuss if your portfolio needs any changes. Guest John Tamny, Director of the Center for Economic Freedom at Freedom Works and author of When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion and a Tragic Lapse of Reason, joins Kim and Cynthia to discuss the tragic loss of reason during the Wuhan-China virus year.  The force of economic constraints was seen as the solution to the virus when, in actuality, it killed many businesses, livelihoods and people.  The biggest killer has always been poverty.  The notion of “two weeks to flatten the curve” was always a lie.  It took away people's ability to come together and it created strife by separating people and forming different classes of victimhood.  Freedom produces the information to overcome the virus.  We don't need political force.  Freedom is the answer and liberty is the responsible exercise of freedom.

Kim and producer Steve remark that the MLB All Star Game will now be played at Coors Field. Ironic that valid ID needs to be shown in Colorado to vote.  SB21-200 Reduce Greenhouse Gases Increase Environmental Justice is another radical left bill. This bill gives additional power to an unelected bureaucratic agency, Air Quality Control Commission. The bill is pumped with regulations and fees, and overtones of the World Economic Forum with its redistribution of wealth. Maybe we should have the game at Coors Field completely powered by renewable energy. Polis says he does not support this bill but who can forget Proposition 112 and his actions after becoming governor. Jen Hulan, owner of Waters Edge Winery (wewdenver.com) in Centennial, joins Kim to talk about her new gluten free and vegan entrees. Jen shows off her innovation as she creates new menu items for those asking for special dietary options.  Support Jen and her small business vendor providing gluten free bakery items while exhibiting your freedom of mobility and choice.  Fabulous wine is always available for your tasting. Moving onto recent articles Kim and Producer Steve discuss the left's hypocrisy, using their leader as an example. Biden used tax shelters, all legal, to sidestep hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes, including taxes that would have funded Medicare and The Affordable Care Act.  Now he wants to close tax loopholes and give additional funding to Medicare and the ACA.  Military experts warn that China is accelerating its timeline to invade Taiwan as twenty Chinese military aircraft are reported entering Taiwan's air defense identification zone. Jason McBride, Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, notes for the right portfolio ROTH accounts are a good investment tool. As one of the many unknowns, we do not know if the current administration will work to tax the ROTH accounts in the future. We do know that the government does not look to the future and only the present, and they like getting the taxes now as people put money into ROTH accounts. We also do not know when the proposed tax hikes will become effective.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to discuss what financial options are available in these times of uncertainty. Guest Josh Phillip, The Epoch Times award winning reporter and host of Crossroads, converses with Kim on many pressing issues.  The takeover of Hong Kong by China was a warning shot to Taiwan.  Biden shows weakness in dealing with China even as the U.S. needs a strong alliance to defend Taiwan.  China steals our technology because they are not able to think beyond what they have; therefore, they are incapable of being innovative.  The significant issue throughout the world is the grassroots movement.  Trump creates a new website, 45office.com, and keeps the growth of grassroots activists continuing. The Federal Reserve is looking at a new digital currency, creating future currency wars, and resulting in the dollar taking a severe hit.

Today is a special Friday, Good Friday. Sunday brings us Hope, Happy Easter!  Christ does not push people to accept Him but gives people the free will to choose.  Freedom and Liberty are different.  Liberty is the responsible exercise of freedom. Liberty is what the Founders were referring to when they used the word Freedom. Pope John Paul II and Thomas Sowell are each discussed.  Georgia works to secure election integrity and is met with opposition from corporations and lies from mainstream media.  Colorado Democrats kill five Republican bills to ensure election integrity. Hal Van Hercke, owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool (castlegate.com), is an avid supporter our active duty military, veterans and first responders.  On a daily basis he offers a 10% discount to all three.  Hal gives both his time and money to the National Honor Tour (nationalhonortour.org).  This organization ensures that no service member has a memorial funeral service without “Taps” played. They are also playing “Taps” at the grave site of each Medal of Honor recipient.  Hal encourages listeners to go to the website and list a name that you would like honored at Ft. Logan. Kim and Producer Steve continue their discussion regarding election integrity. The MLB may pull the All Star Game from Georgia and the PGA may pull the Masters from Augusta.  Kim wonders if the people who vote do their homework.  The voter suppression narrative is really about nullifying everyday people's vote.  HB21-1054 Housing Public Benefit Verification Requirement would eliminate the disclosure of immigration status for housing assistance.  Kim remarks that it is another way to take money from hard-working citizens to give to illegal immigrants regardless of statements on “justice.” Everyday Americans are having a difficult time paying for their own housing. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, reminds listeners that the market is closed on Good Friday. He also comments that the word “justice” has been taken over by the left using it to accuse most Americans of being racist and bad, therefore we must pay our hard-earned money to someone else.  Kim interjects that this is the war on language and cites “Democratic” as another word incorrectly used.  Also note that Lady Justice is blind.  With many of us facing “unknowns” in the political arena and the stock market at record highs, it may be time to convert some holdings into cash.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to discuss if this is a strategy for your portfolio. Guest Chris Stefanick, founder of Real Life Catholic (reallifecatholic.com), joins Kim on Good Friday to discuss the Hope of the Cross.  People are becoming more introspective, searching out faith. When we have hard times, it's usually because God has stepped back and leaves us to the consequences of our decisions. This is the real wrath of God.  People are experiencing emptiness without God. Religion is the frame of how an individual views the world. “God so loved the world that He gave us His only Son.”  Good Friday and Easter Sunday are why each individual exists and has a purpose. Christ's sacrifice shows you are worth dying for.  Wokeism is really about power dynamics a

During this Holy Week Kim notes that Christianity is under assault here in America and around the globe.  Judeo-Christian values are intertwined in the founding of America.  Kim discusses the Bill of the Day, SB21-134 Retail Liquor Stores Additional Licenses. Chris Cantwell, Senior Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors, remarks on his two favorite charitable organizations, St. Jude's and Junior Achievement.  Numerous PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loans are put “on hold” for further examination.  Chris sees entrepreneurs in their 60's selling and those in their 30-40s buying businesses so that they can become their own boss.  If you are interested in either transaction, give Chris a call for professional guidance at 844-SELL-BIZ. David Williams with Taxpayers Protection Alliance (protectingtaxpayers.org) joins Kim to analyze the Democrat push to dissolve the filibuster.  The filibuster was written to assure that there was bipartisan support for non-spending and non-taxation bills; 60 votes are needed to take a bill to the floor for Senate final voting.  The Democrats are maneuvering any bill to fall under budget reconciliation, the most recent COVID-19 relief bill is an example.  Obamacare was unlawfully passed under budget reconciliation.  It changed the entire healthcare system.  Another chapter of “The Swamp” as Biden offers Senator Manchin's wife a key position in an agency that gives earmarks within the Appalachian community.  It is necessary to call your representatives and senators and others that can be influenced, including Manchin to protect the filibuster. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, acknowledges that economic freedom, political freedom and your personal freedom are very important. Recent activity in the markets indicate that money is being diverted to blue chips and small caps.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 for a discovery session to assess your risk tolerance and potential opportunities within your financial portfolio. Guest Chris Tubbs, founder of Patriotic Bible Study (pbstudy1776@gmail.com for information), explains that as the world was thrust into COVID-19, he was called by God to teach people about God and America.  Chris, a millennial, states that most younger people have not been taught about the founding of America nor our Founders like George Washington and Ben Franklin.  34% of our Founders quotes were cited from the Bible.  God is a loving God.  Chris speaks from the heart as he brings truth to his generation regarding God and the founding of America.  The world has become co-dependent in opposition to God's message.  Chris encourages us to be assertive and take responsibility for our own lives.  Christ experienced everything that we humans could experience in life.  Christ relates to us because he was man.  Do your homework – the Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution which we must read.  It is our responsibility to preserve our American Liberty that so many pledged blood and treasure to secure.  God loves you!

Kim begins the week to congratulate the new State Colorado GOP leadership: Kristi Burton Brown, Pricilla Rahn and Marilyn Harris. The team seems to have a battle plan in place with election integrity as the top issue. Producer Steve muses when will people understand and see the effect of what has happened in the last five months. Energy costs have risen around 40% since the inauguration of the Biden administration. Consumer prices will increase and have a hurtful financial impact on all households. Constitutional expert with the Independence Institute Rob Natelson joins Kim to discuss SB21-132, Digital Communications Regulation. This bill would regulate all digital communications in Colorado. The bill’s sponsor is Sen. Donovan, a leader in the state Democrat party who is running against Rep. Boebert in CD-3. This bill would restore the censorship and licensing regime of the English Crown dating back to 1694. Fifteen years ago Colorado was seen as the third freest state and today we are seen as the third worst state for freedom. This bill is unconstitutional in many respects including the fee is an affront to TABOR (Colorado's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights), no trial by jury, and no due process. The bill has recently been turned into a study. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, comments that bills like SB21-132 seem par for the course. The DOW and NASDAQ had positive days on Friday but the volume was less than the previous day. The NASDAQ is still below its 50 day average. There are innovative ways that you can use to eliminate risks in your financial portfolio. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to discuss. Tom Petrie, oil and gas investment banker, is the guest for Kim’s Health and Hydrocarbons Show. Tom notes that Biden is motivated to undo everything that Trump accomplished specifically the Keystone pipeline and drilling for hydrocarbons on federal lands. Biden does not care nor does he understand second order consequences. Energy prices will continue to rise with a carbon tax. An economic confrontation is looming with China. There will be humanitarian and economic consequences if we do not keep a strong US-Canadian alliance. The natural market for Canada is south of the border, not necessarily west to the Pacific rim. The Green New Deal disaster experienced in Texas during the deep freeze is a lesson in the problem of intermittency. When the storm hit there was no solution for the unavailability of solar and wind energy. This makes us more vulnerable in conditions we cannot control as consumers. It may take a few decades before we can get to efficient battery storage. Rare earth mining has powerful earth disruption, more than fossil fuels. The disposal of electric car batteries is another challenge. It is important to critically assess the effectiveness of policies which to date are on a negative learning curve.

Kim is astonished that HB21-1059 Online Student Protection (protecting parents and their student's rights) must be proposed. Today is the Anniversary of the end of the 1945 WWII Battle of Iwo Jima. Keith McKim, Vietnam Veteran SOG man (Studies and Observations Group), recites his narrative, Six Times Two Equals Thirteen, in honor of those who fought at Iwo Jima. Keith's emotion is clearly heard as he tells the story of the six marines that raised the flag on Mount Suribachi in a “war that was not glorious but necessary,” “so that tyrants don't dictate us,” and we can live in freedom “in a nation of warriors.” The statue honoring these six men is the largest bronze statue in the world. To hear Keith's other recordings go to www.amazon.com/s?k=Keith+McKim&i=stripbooks&ref=nb_sb_noss_2. Casper Stockham joins Kim to discuss how he will be a game changer if elected as the next Colorado GOP Chair. He will continue to train individuals on limited government and the vision of our founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence. He will enhance his work on changing hearts on a daily basis. Election integrity is essential and he will force transparency on the Secretary of State to do so. To learn more about Casper visit casperforcolorado.com. The election is Saturday, March 27th at the Denver Marriott DTC. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, highlights his appreciation for those who fought in the battle at Iwo Jima.  He hopes that this part of our history is never “cancelled” and that this iconic image reminds future generations of this battle's historic significance.  Many people are looking at their investments in light of the stock market.  This approach can be misleading as the NASDAQ has been declining. Tesla, for example, is down 30% from its high, Give Jason a call at 303-695-1600 to analyze your individual financial portfolio and see if you should consider any changes. Hal Van Hercke, owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool (castlegate.com) located in Sedalia, joins Kim to discuss the importance of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Hal, a Veteran, notes that people must understand the sacrifices, heroism and loss of life that took place in this battle. Hal recommends four movies that he finds noteworthy giving different perspectives on the battle:  The Sands of Iwo Jima (starring John Wayne), The Outsider (starring Tony Curtis), Flags of our Fathers (directed by Clint Eastwood) and Letters of Iwo Jima (also directed by Eastwood). Veterans, active military and first responders receive a 10% discount every day on his products. Hal and Kim transition to the assault on small business. Hal believes this is intentional and is part of the plan to redistribute wealth. Eliminating wealth from small business owners builds large global companies that are complicit in giving a select elite group power and control. Educate yourself on The Great Reset (

Turnquist Friday—Rick Turnquist, blogger and author, joins Kim for her final day of Meat In Week!  As Rick notes, the agricultural community is “A little slice of Americana.”  The radical regressives have totally discounted the laws of economics including ruining small business with never-ending rules and regulations such as minimum wage and paid family leave legislation and ballot initiatives.  Jason Santomaso with the Sterling Livestock Commission invites listeners to Sterling for their Meat In event featuring speakers and plenty of beef for everyone.  The event starts at noon.  Donations will go the agricultural community.  Show sponsor Hal Van Hercke, owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool, has a wide range of steak knives for cutting into that delicious steak; mention Kim's show and get 10% off.  Polis proclamation for a Meat Out day has actually encouraged people to eat meat on March 20th.  Two Sedalia restaurants are going all out:  Bud's Bar will be giving out free hamburgers to the first 200 people who order drinks and Wide Open Spaces is giving the first 300 people who order drinks free cheeseburgers. The book Echoes of Our War: Vietnam Veterans Reflect 50 Years Later is being featured in a new series on America's Veteran's Stories with Kim Monson which airs Sunday, 3-4pm, on KLZ 560 AM and KLZ 100.7 FM.  Listen to and understand the emotional experiences of Vietnam Veterans both on and off the battlefield.  Bill Korbelik from Kit Carson County states that his county is hosting the biggest BBQ event.  Sixteen sizzling grills will be cooking up meat at the fairgrounds in Burlington 11am-2pm on Saturday, March 20th.  They'll also have a petting zoo and face painting for the kids. Dr. Jill Vecchio grew up as a farming and ranching kid.  Polis' “Meat Out Day” has actually been promoted since 1985 by a group called MeatOut.org.  It is an international event that is always the first day of spring.  Forty other cities and states are participating.  The Great Reset elite regressives are attempting to decimate both the cattle and grain industries. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, comments the left continues their movement to push forth their social issues regardless of the death and destruction left behind.  The attack on oil and gas companies is now expanded to our agricultural community.  We take full meat counters and full grocery store shelves for granted.  Planning is always important, especially with your finances.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to set in place a plan for your retirement and other financial goals.  Jason will guide you through new laws and new investment vehicles entering the markets. Rick Turnquist highlights some of the key points in his most recent op-ed, Colorado Democrats' War on Colorado (https://kimmonson.com/featured_articles/colorado-democrats-war-on-colorado/).  The Democrats are emboldened with their election wins both in the state of Colorado and at the federal level.  Colorado legislators see businesses as the pot of gold for their socialist Marxist schemes.  The onslaught of bad bills continues to the detriment of the state, including censorship in SB21-132, in the name of social j

Karen Levine, award winning realtor with RE/MAX Alliance and sponsor of Kim's shows, co-hosts during the Eat Meat Week!  America's Veteran's Show will feature Vietnam veterans interviewed in the book Echoes of Our War:  Reflections After 50 Years.  Riveting!  Listen on Sunday from 3-4pm on KLZ.  China is set to ask Biden to roll back all Trump actions against China.  HB21-1071 Ranked Choice Voting In Nonpartisan Elections is dissected and it is concluded this will ensure Democrats dominance in Colorado.  It is noted that Maricopa County, Arizona, Georgia and Michigan have recently experienced judicial cases calling into the validity of their 2020 elections.  Kim will continue to seek the truth, including our most recent election. Karen reports that inventory in Colorado is extremely tight.  In the past week, homes under contract outpaced new home listings.  Public policy has added to the shortage of homes on the market.  An experienced professional realtor is absolutely needed whether you are buying or selling.  Give Karen a call at 303-877-7516. There is nothing better to eat this Saturday than meat.  On Polis' proclaimed Meat Out Day join others across the state for their Meat In Day. When Michelle Vance with the Larimer Republican Party heard of this ridiculous proclamation, decided to do what Dems do—raise money on voter outrage.  And she did just that as her event is sold out.  People are tired of their freedoms being taken away.  In downtown Craig, Loy Jones has organized a BBQ for her community.  Her event will be taking donations for the agricultural community.  Meat is an important staple of the American diet.  At the beginning of the China-Wuhan virus reaction/disruption, empty meat counters validated how important meat is to Americans. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, will be joining thousands as he will be grilling meat on Saturday.  Federal Reserve Chairman Powell states yesterday that rates will not change in the near future, which brought a sigh of relief from many.  The DOW continues to hit new highs while the NASDAQ is working to regain its past high.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review options for a successful plan regarding your financial requirements. Guest Kevin Lundberg, former state Senator and founder of the Lundberg Letter (kevinlundberg.com), joins Kim to discuss HR1.  Kim calls it the Diluting and Nullifying Your Vote Act while Kevin chimes in with the Voter Fraud Act.  Some of the lowlights of the bill, all at the Federal level, are:  set up commissions for redistricting (already in Colorado at the state), institutionalize mail-in ballots (and all the fraud that goes along with it as seen in many states like Pennsylvania), enfranchising felons to vote, requirement for photo id to vote eliminated, changing campaign finance law as Congressional races will be publicly funded, and ballots can be accepted up to 10 days after election.  This is dismantling the US Constitution and going against the Founding Fathers to secure permanent POWER for Democrats!

It's Eat Meat Week!  Enjoy as much meat as you desire for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The America's Veteran's Stories is starting a new series.  The book Echoes of Our War: Vietnam Veterans Reflect 50 Years Later presented by Col. Bob Fischer features veterans that will be on Kim's show starting this Sunday on KLZ, 3-4pm.  HB21-1164 Total Program Mill Levy Tax Credit will result in real estate tax increases without a vote of the people, clearly ignoring TABOR. Lorne Levy, mortgage specialist with Polygon Financial, comments that interest rates have been holding steady.  With the threat of inflation, now is a good time to get pre-qualified in order to know what your buying power is as you search for your home.  Give Lorne a call at 303-880-8881. What's for dinner?  Meat!  Tyler Schmidt, owner of Two Rivers BBQ in South Fork, CO, will have his Meat In event on March 20th throughout the day.  10% of proceeds will go to benefit 4H and FFA (Future Farmers of America) groups in the valley and to support the hard-working farmers and ranchers in the valley.  Willie Altenburg notes that the Centennial Livestock Auction inn Fort Collins will be hosting a  BBQ on March 20th.  The event coincides with their annual bull sale, 120 bulls to be exact.  Come by from 11:30am-4pm for great BBQ. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, states that the Meat Out Day Proclamation by Gov. Polis is not wise as it affects the economy, the producer and the consumer.  Agriculture is the second highest producing industry in the state.  So plan ahead and make sure you are fully stocked with all your meat for Saturday.  Planning is important, especially for your retirement years.  Jason can help you create a plan and search for solutions that will help when uncertain times are present.  You can always participate in the market as there are options to choose from.  Jason can be contacted at 303-694-1600. Guest Brad Beck, co-founder of Liberty Toastmasters, joins Kim to discuss “cultural appropriations” and his most recent op-ed, Catching Leprechauns (https://kimmonson.com/featured_articles/catching-leprechauns/).   It is now mandatory in some circles to celebrate certain holidays from afar.  This is opposed to our unique melting pot acknowledging the culture and heritage of all.  The 1776 Project informs us that we see the roots of this in Marxism.  PBIs (Politicians, Bureaucrats and Interested Parties) intentionally want to divide us into categories as this gives them power, control and money.  Special rights for specific categories negate equal rights.  Western civilization needs to survive the assault against it.  The American Idea is unique in that it protects individual rights and property rights.

Kim and Producer Steve converse about John Eastman's, Trump's attorney, podcast. Listen this Sunday to the America's Veteran's Show to learn about the secret missions of SOG during the Vietnam War. Common Sense Institute states that in the next three to five years Colorado will face new fees and taxes totaling $1.8 billion a year. HB21-1103 Media Literacy Implementation is another “forced” policy on censorship. News feeds are dumbing down Americans. Hal Van Hercke, owner of Castlegate Knife and Tools in Sedalia, gives an update about his inventory, specifically custom-made AR-15s manufactured in Elizabeth, CO.

Guest Reggie Carr, founder of i'MA Trumpster (imatrumpster.com) and i'MASuperPac (imasuperpac.com), joins Kim to discuss legislation at both the state of Colorado and national levels protecting criminals at the extreme detriment of the innocent and our property rights.  Reggie emphasizes the need of everyday messaging on the founding principles of America to ethnic communities and our youth.  Criminal activities that have no consequences give criminals complete power in their neighborhoods and crimes will only escalate along with more kids participating and losing innocence.  The Colorado legislature is proposing legislation where criminals are not held accountable.  Another piece of legislation, Colorado SB21-132, clamps down on “Freedom of Speech” and potentially fines Coloradans $5000/day for speaking the Truth.  Reggie needs help with his mission of messaging to ethnic communities and our youth.  He'd like to propose his plan to President Trump. Write to Trump at:  President Donald Trump c/o Mar-a-Lago Club 1100 S. Ocean Blvd. Palm Beach, FL 33480 to encourage him to meet with Reggie.
