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/

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The bill is pumped with regulations and fees, and overtones of the World Economic Forum with its redistribution of wealth.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. These rifles have a turn-around time of 1-2 weeks and provides extreme accuracy at a competitive price. The best way to buy one is to contact Castlegate at 303-214-4303 to set up a private appointment. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, discusses with Kim COVID-19 case and death numbers; 15.95% of total cases and 22.8% of total deaths occurred while Biden has been President even though vaccinations and other medical resources are now available that were not at the beginning of the outbreak. The global attitude is that every country but the United States has operated perfectly in reacting to the Wuhan-China virus. Jason transitions to stock market results. It is very important to have a blueprint as to where you are and where you want to be. Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to discuss how you can achieve your goals with his suggestions. Theresa Watson, Chair of the Boulder County Republicans, joins Kim as her guest to discuss election integrity. If we don't have election integrity, we don't have a free country Of the People, By the People and For the People. Theresa emphasizes the importance of getting involved at the local level. We need to talk to one another, educate ourselves about elections, and build a network. Relationships are key, and we need warriors across the state. Begin now as local, non-partisan elections will be held in November. A good starting point for communication skills is to attend Liberty Toastmasters. March 27th is the election for GOP state leadership. Republicans must lead by example and hold the Central Committee meeting on March 27th in-person with voting by paper ballots. Let's improve the party by moving forward by looking back to the principles of the American Idea. We are a Constitutional Republic!

Kim gives a teaser for her America's Veteran's Stories show this Sunday at 3 pm on KLZ.  The bravery of the men and women who fought for the American Idea and against tyranny during WWII leaves us speechless.  Gov. Polis' “Build Back Stronger” is reminiscent of Biden's “Build Back Better,” the same wording as the World Economic Forum.  Polis announced a $700 million COVID-19 stimulus package. Karen Levine, award-winning realtor with RE/MAX Alliance and long-standing sponsor, states that the housing spring season is gearing up with high energy.  Karen gives a few suggestions for those thinking of selling their house, including declutter.  Most important is to have a professional representing your interests.  Give Karen a call at 303-877-7516 to ensure that whether you are buying or selling a home you have a professional representing you. Aurora City Councilman Dave Gruber and the head of Public Safety Council discuss with Kim SB21-062 Jail Population Management Tools, which has a new “Double Speak” title.  The bill currently stands to prevent some criminals from going to jail, such car theives; when one goes before a judge, the judge cannot force the accused to post a monetary bond, only a personal recourse bond and; the bill prevents sheriffs from jailing certain people/criminals.  This legislation has no regard for personal property or the safety of the general population which is the primary role of government. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, reports that the DOW closed at an all-time high along with the small caps.  NASDAQ took a slight dip.  Contact Jason at 303-694-1600 to analyze your portfolio to see if you have a good mix of investment vehicles to secure financial success. 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.
