On the Friday, January 23, 2026 broadcast, Kim Monson examines Colorado’s new anti-ICE bill SB26-005 and the growing threat of artificial intelligence in healthcare, with Dr. Jill Vecchio sounding the alarm on the World Economic Forum’s push for universal AI-driven healthcare by 2030, Teddy Collins warning about dangerous immigration legislation at the Colorado Capitol, and Susan Harris exploring the battle between creation and destruction in American civic life.

Artificial Intelligence Threatens Patient Privacy and Medical Autonomy

Start listening at 29:56 – Hour 1

Dr. Jill Vecchio, a physician who famously read the entire Obamacare bill, warns that the World Economic Forum is using COVID-era electronic health record data and AI telehealth tools to build a worldwide universal healthcare system by 2030. The WEF has already developed AI-powered scientific models capable of predicting future diseases from individual lab results, raising urgent questions about who decides which patients receive treatment and which do not.

Vecchio highlights that Google recently inserted AI into Gmail without user consent, summarizing private email conversations and adding a disclaimer that the information “may not be accurate.” She draws a direct line from this corporate AI intrusion to the healthcare sphere, asking whether patients will even know when AI is making decisions about their care. HIPAA, she notes, contains no provisions addressing AI, leaving a massive regulatory gap as medical data flows into cloud-based systems beyond patient control.

The conversation broadens to encompass the Cloward-Piven strategy of overwhelming government systems to force centralized control. Vecchio explains how the 1960s Columbia professors theorized that enrolling masses of people in welfare programs would collapse existing systems, allowing government to step in as the sole provider. She argues Obamacare followed this template, designed to crash private healthcare and leave single-payer government healthcare as the only alternative.

“Are we going to be able to refuse interacting with a physician that uses AI? Are we going to be able to sign a consent form that says, I do not want to have any interaction, nothing of mine goes into AI?”

Anti-ICE Legislation Creates Dangerous Precedent for Colorado Law Enforcement

Start listening at 65:04 – Hour 2

Teddy Collins, owner of Spartan Defense Armory & Training in Colorado Springs and candidate for Colorado Senate District 4, breaks down the dangers of SB26-005. The bill creates a statutory cause of action in state court for anyone who claims their constitutional rights were violated during civil immigration enforcement. Collins reveals his organization, the Second Syndicate, is organizing testimony against the bill and the related SB26-004.

The legislation’s most dangerous provision, Collins explains, routes all claims through state courts rather than federal courts. Kim Monson connects this to the Tina Peters case, where Colorado refused to recognize a presidential pardon because Peters was convicted in state court. The same framework applied to ICE agents would mean federal officers could face personal civil liability with no possibility of presidential pardon, effectively neutering federal immigration enforcement in Colorado.

“But this would essentially create civil liability if you’re reporting a legal alien. And they believe that their rights are violated in some way from both law enforcement and, potentially, the person who’s reporting them. So it’s essentially, you know, the Democrats and the left were always the party of the whistleblower. But this makes it illegal to be a whistleblower.”

Civic Fatigue and the Globalist Agenda Threaten American Values

Start listening at 75:14 – Hour 2

Susan Harris, whose family provides gold sponsorship for the show through The Harris Family, opens with a sobering observation: the political left has become extraordinarily efficient at making Americans feel exhausted and powerless. She argues that this deliberate fatigue strategy works alongside the constant barrage of bad news to push citizens into retreating from civic engagement, exactly the outcome globalist forces need to advance their agenda.

Harris recounts a disturbing encounter on a five-hour flight from Charlotte to Phoenix. A fellow passenger, a retired restaurant owner in his mid-to-late 70s who created beautiful stained glass art including an American flag with the 50 stars replaced by a peace sign, revealed that if he had only two weeks to live, he would spend them murdering people. The stark contrast between his art’s message of peace and his heart’s desire for violence, Harris argues, exposes the hatred beneath the left’s surface messaging of compassion and empathy.

The conversation shifts to signs of hope. Harris points to RFK Jr.’s work at Health and Human Services, the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization, and the pushback against globalists at Davos as evidence that the tide may be turning. She floats an intriguing theory that leaders of major world powers, including Xi Jinping and Putin alongside Trump, share an interest in defeating the globalist agenda because all want to maintain their nations as independent superpowers.

“I think the left has become very efficient at making everyone feel exhausted and feel powerless.”
