[00:04] Announcer: It's the Kim Monson show analyzing the most important stories.
[00:10] Kim Monson: An early childhood taxing district.
[00:14] Announcer: The latest in politics and world affairs?
[00:16] Kim Monson: I don't think that we should be passing legislation that is so complicated that people kind of throw up their hands and say: oh, I can't understand today's current opinions and ideas.
[00:25] Kim Monson: It is not fair that just because you're a big business, that you get a break on this and the little guy doesn't.
[00:31] Announcer: Is it freedom or is it force?
[00:33] Announcer: Let's have a conversation.
[00:38] Kim Monson: And welcome to the Kim Monson Show.
[00:41] Kim Monson: You're each treasured, you're valued, you have purpose.
[00:44] Kim Monson: Today, strive for excellence, take care of your heart, your soul, your mind, and your body.
[00:48] Kim Monson: My friends, we were made for this moment.
[00:51] Kim Monson: That's Producer Steve, Producer Luke, Zach, Patty, Keith, Echo, Charlie, all the people here at Crawford Broadcasting.
[01:00] Producer Steve: Let's see, Friday the 19th of May, and it's a dreary day here in our neck of the woods.
[01:07] Kim Monson: Oh, well, I am in Virginia, and it is a gorgeous day.
[01:11] Kim Monson: A little overcast, but absolutely beautiful.
[01:14] Kim Monson: As many of you know, I'm on a road trip with my buddy, Yvonne Paez, and she is in our studio with me.
[01:24] Yvonne Paez: Happy Friday and thank you for having me Kim.
[01:27] Kim Monson: Oh, we have had a blast, but before we really get into this, we have to give a shout out to we- you weren't sure- on on the room on all this, and there's somebody that's missing.
[01:40] Yvonne Paez: That's correct she's so a shout out to our friend Rosie in Colorado.
[01:45] Kim Monson: Absolutely so anyway it's great to be with you check out the website that is is Kim Monson, M-O-N-S-O-N.
[01:52] Kim Monson: Sign up for our weekly email newsletter, and you can email me at Kim at KimMonson.
[01:58] Kim Monson: And thank you to all of you who support us.
[02:00] Kim Monson: We are an independent voice on an independent station, and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom.
[02:09] Kim Monson: If something's a good idea, you shouldn't have to force people to do it.
[02:13] Kim Monson: Yvonne, this is a very special thing that we are doing, and I thank you for inviting me to come with you, and it all stemmed from a an event that the USMC Memorial Foundation put on, which is a nonprofit charity that I dearly love, and I got to know them through all of this work that I've done with veterans.
[02:34] Kim Monson: I greatly appreciate it, but they had a big event last fall and one of the auction items was a house in Virginia.
[02:46] Kim Monson: And tell us a little bit about that because it wasn't quite what you thought, right?
[02:51] Yvonne Paez: I think you often spoke about a friend who had a lodge in Colorado, et cetera.
[02:56] Yvonne Paez: So when they were doing the auction for the lodge, which I hadn't looked at closely, I thought I was bidding for a lodge in Colorado.
[03:03] Yvonne Paez: So when I got it, to my surprise, it was in Virginia.
[03:07] Yvonne Paez: So I'm like, okay, we're going to Virginia.
[03:12] Kim Monson: But it's just been really, really great.
[03:16] Kim Monson: And we'll talk about yesterday, but one of my bucket list things has been Monticello.
[03:23] Kim Monson: And I had said to you that I really wanted to be in Monticello.
[03:30] Kim Monson: There's all these different tours, but I wanted to be in the house to understand and just Thomas Jefferson and what it was.
[03:37] Kim Monson: And we had an amazing docent, and it ended up being a small group of just four of us.
[03:43] Kim Monson: And it was just, I'm pinching myself, it was such a great day.
[03:49] Yvonne Paez: Absolutely, and that is the behind-the-scenes tour at Monticello.
[03:53] Yvonne Paez: If you really want to see the house in its entirety, almost, that's the one you want.
[04:00] Kim Monson: And we actually saw the last chair that Thomas Jefferson sat in.
[04:09] Kim Monson: So we're going to talk a bit more about that here.
[04:21] Kim Monson: I got to get the computer here, everything so that I can see exactly what I'm doing.
[04:21] Kim Monson: But our word of the day, I chose that because, Yvonne, you have a lot of life experiences.
[04:30] Kim Monson: You are an Army veteran, also a former police officer, grew up in a third world country.
[04:37] Kim Monson: And I've been talking about guerrilla warfare and that in this battle of ideas, we need to use guerrilla warfare.
[04:53] Kim Monson: And the definition is a member of a band of irregular soldiers that uses quote-unquote guerrilla warfare, harassing the enemy by surprise raids, sabotaging communication and supply lines, or I might say, in this guerrilla warfare of the battle of ideas that we're in, that we actually speak truth into these and we speak truth consistently with those around us.
[05:16] Kim Monson: But so I was talking about guerrilla warfare.
[05:19] Kim Monson: Washington- George Washington actually used it initially against the British.
[05:23] Kim Monson: And then also it was used in Vietnam as well.
[05:28] Kim Monson: But you challenged me on using the word guerrilla.
[05:31] Kim Monson: You said, Kim, we need to explain it a little bit more.
[05:35] Yvonne Paez: Because we have to realize that there's a lot of different generations that are listening to your radio show.
[05:40] Yvonne Paez: And for a lot of people who may not be into some of the history or knowing some of these terms, they hear gorilla, gorilla, and they're probably thinking we're going out there and acting like gorillas, like the animal.
[05:56] Yvonne Paez: So I wanted to share so that people know where it comes from and what we're talking about.
[06:02] Yvonne Paez: The word gorilla is the English pronunciation of the word guerrilla.
[06:07] Yvonne Paez: And the word guerrilla comes from the word guerra.
[06:11] Yvonne Paez: Guerra means war, and a guerrilla would be a little war.
[06:15] Yvonne Paez: So in essence, perhaps a little unconventional war.
[06:21] Yvonne Paez: It's not the gorilla, the animal, the ape.
[06:24] Yvonne Paez: It is guerrilla, which we say in English as gorilla, and it's a small war.
[06:30] Kim Monson: Steve, you sound like you want to jump in on this.
[06:33] Producer Steve: Okay, I'm going back to like 1964, for 65, reading the comics on the living room floor while mom's making dinner, and the radio's on, and here comes the news, and we're gearing up in Vietnam, and the newscaster is freely using the word guerrilla, and as a kid I'm sitting there thinking, trying to picture what that looks like.
[06:58] Kim Monson: And that's interesting, then you bring up the Vietnam War, because over on America's Veterans Stories, as you know, we have interviewed World War II veterans, Korean War veterans, And then I did the set of interviews with, I think, nine of the ten guys in Echoes of Our War.
[07:14] Kim Monson: Vietnam veterans look back 50 years.
[07:16] Kim Monson: It was on the 50-year, I think, anniversary.
[07:20] Kim Monson: And Colonel Bob Fisher was really, he compiled that.
[07:26] Kim Monson: He put the guys together to do those pieces, those chapters in the book.
[07:30] Kim Monson: but he told a story where he had actually been, I think, an advisor in Vietnam before the Vietnam War broke out.
[07:39] Kim Monson: And he realized that this was not going to be a war like World War II, that there would be guerrilla warfare.
[07:46] Kim Monson: Again, this irregular fighting, just like what George Washington did.
[07:51] Kim Monson: And he spoke with some of his superiors about that, and they basically blew him off.
[07:57] Kim Monson: They get in then to the Vietnam War and they pull him back in and say, okay, we're listening now.
[08:06] Kim Monson: But the connection that I want to make, Yvonne, is that we talk about the battle of ideas and people say, what can we do?
[08:15] Kim Monson: And I think it is a guerrilla warfare in as much as we engage person by person.
[08:23] Kim Monson: We have to understand these principles, these ideas, and then we need to engage in these conversations.
[08:33] Kim Monson: And it seems sometimes with the media and higher ed now, also K-12, big tech, it seems like we are fighting in this battle of ideas the British Empire, which at the time that the colonists decided to fight for liberty, the responsible exercise of freedom, that they were standing up against the largest empire, the empire that went to all corners of the earth.
[09:05] Kim Monson: But because they were standing for the right things, for liberty and the sanctity of the individual, all men are created equal, they ultimately prevailed.
[09:13] Kim Monson: What's your thoughts on that, Yvonne?
[09:14] Yvonne Paez: Well, yes, and they were defending this new American idea.
[09:18] Yvonne Paez: And so when we talk about guerrilla warfare today, if the conventional warfare is to put out a narrative over the media and try to win the war, that way, since we don't have the overpowering weapons like the British did and things like that, like the big media has for providing information or trying to get people to get into groupthink, our guerrilla warfare, in the present state of affairs, is to simply get informed.
[09:52] Yvonne Paez: You know, be informed, stay informed and communicate what is going on to one another.
[10:01] Yvonne Paez: So it's kind of like the underground, the taverns you know.
[10:02] Yvonne Paez: Basically, just what they're trying to do is divide people, confuse people, for people not to know what's going on.
[10:11] Yvonne Paez: And so for us, if we get get informed and stay informed with what is really going on, and speak to each other and pass that on.
[10:18] Yvonne Paez: A telephone telegraph and tell a woman, I didn't know that.
[10:23] Yvonne Paez: So, if you want to get the information out, so we just need to gather and have these conversations, much the way they did a couple 250 years ago, and have these conversations about what's going on and then go forward and protect that American idea that was handed to us and that we know does not get passed on generation after generation through the blood, but that we have to actually keep it alive and fight for this American idea that is unique and so different at the global level.
[11:01] Yvonne Paez: We are the only ones that truly have it, and it is up to us to keep this flame alive.
[11:06] Kim Monson: Well, and that's why we do the show.
[11:08] Kim Monson: And we are an independent voice on an independent station, because you even see this on air quotes, conservative media.
[11:15] Kim Monson: And I'm working to reclaim the word conservative, Yvonne, because over the years, again, this battle of language, they've tried to make it sound like conservative.
[11:27] Kim Monson: of, oh, it's those people that want to tell you what to do, when to do it.
[11:31] Kim Monson: Oh, wait a minute, during COVID, who was it?
[11:33] Kim Monson: It was the radical activists, actually, with the help of some bipartisan help, I'll put it that way, that wanted to tell people what to do.
[11:41] Kim Monson: But conservative, the real word conservative means to conserve this great American idea that all men, and when we say men, we mean humankind, men and women, men and women, that we're all created equal because we're created in the image of God.
[11:57] Kim Monson: And because of that, we have these rights from God, natural rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
[12:04] Kim Monson: And so being at Monticello yesterday and just taking all that in, oh my gosh, it was so special.
[12:10] Yvonne Paez: Standing in the spaces where they stood and looking at the trees and just knowing, you know, we looked at the stones and the bricks and we're like, if these bricks could talk, you know, the things that they could tell us.
[12:23] Kim Monson: So the show comes to you because of great sponsors and I am so and I I really recommend all of you when you are using needing goods or services that my sponsors provide another way that you can support the show is by using uh by giving your business to my sponsors and one of those great sponsors is the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance team and Roger has been in business for 47 years serving his customers providing for his family and giving back to his communities of Centennial, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Englewood, Greenwood Village, and Castle Rock, South Metro Denver area.

[14:41] Kim Monson: Welcome back to the Kim Monson Show.
[14:46] Kim Monson: Sign up for our weekly email newsletter.
[14:47] Kim Monson: You can email me at Kim at KimMonson.
[14:50] Kim Monson: Thank you to all of you who support us.
[14:51] Kim Monson: We are an independent voice on an independent station searching for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom.
[15:00] Kim Monson: If something's a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it.
[15:03] Kim Monson: If it's a good idea, it should be able to compete in the battle of ideas and stand on its own two legs.
[15:08] Kim Monson: The show comes to you because of great sponsors.
[15:10] Kim Monson: One of those is Hooters Restaurants.
[15:12] Kim Monson: And it's a super interesting story on how we got to know each other.
[15:17] Kim Monson: It's from when I was on city council, overreach of government, bureaucrats and politicians, standing for freedom.
[15:24] Kim Monson: But Hooters restaurants, they have five locations, Loveland, Aurora, Lone Tree, Westminster, and Colorado Springs.
[15:28] Kim Monson: Great place to get together with friends for lunch or happy hour Monday through Friday.
[15:34] Kim Monson: Also a great place to get together to watch the games.
[15:38] Kim Monson: And my heart's broken that the Avs did not move on in the NHL playoffs.
[15:42] Kim Monson: But Steve, apparently the Nuggets are doing pretty well so far, yes?
[15:47] Producer Steve: If their opponents haven't figured it out yet, they came to play.
[15:50] Producer Steve: They took it to the Lakers last night, 108- 103.
[15:53] Producer Steve: They now lead the series 2- zip,and the next game is tomorrow.
[15:57] Kim Monson: Okay, so Hooters Restaurant's a great place to watch the games.
[16:02] Kim Monson: Another thing, hey, Yvonne Piaz is with me.
[16:08] Kim Monson: First of all, looking out the window, it is glorious.
[16:13] Kim Monson: Yesterday we ended up at Monticello and we're going to try to go to Montpellier, so hopefully tomorrow we'll go to Madison's home.
[16:27] Kim Monson: But I want to say thank you because you purchased this in support of the USMC Memorial Foundation and they're raising money for the Marine Memorial remodel out at 6th and Colfax.
[16:40] Kim Monson: You're an Army veteran, but you also have a heart for this Marine Memorial.
[16:48] Yvonne Paez: Absolutely, and probably the little-known fact is that when I first came to the United States, probably not first, I was born here, but after leaving the country for 14 years, I came directly to Golden, Colorado.
[17:02] Yvonne Paez: And I remember that monument was just down the street, So it was one of the first things I saw when I came to the United States.
[17:11] Kim Monson: And that's how it used to be, is it was as people were going into the mountains, that was one of the first things that they saw coming into Denver.
[17:19] Kim Monson: And now with how it's been built up, it needs this new remodel.
[17:25] Kim Monson: So people can help by going to usmcmemorialfoundation.
[17:31] Kim Monson: There's the brick challenge to buy a brick that will be on the walkway of service that will honor your military service, your loved one's military service.
[17:38] Kim Monson: It's a great thing for Father's Day.
[17:44] Kim Monson: And again, the spot there for that is usmcmemorialfoundation.
[17:52] Kim Monson: Went to Thomas Jefferson, obviously.
[17:55] Kim Monson: I've got this new little book that I'm really excited about.
[17:57] Kim Monson: And he said this, because the trying that well, we see the canceling of women now, But that happens when you start to cancel the foundations, canceling the words conservative, canceling the words married, canceling, canceling all this.
[18:14] Yvonne Paez: Canceling the word woman and changing it for birthing person.
[18:19] Kim Monson: But talk about disrespectful of women.
[18:23] Kim Monson: We've come a long way, baby, haven't we?
[18:28] Kim Monson: So Thomas Jefferson, they've tried to, we've all seen this.
[18:33] Kim Monson: And we know that in history, that there are slave owners who were cruel and abusive.
[18:40] Kim Monson: But we also know that there were, I mean, it was a complicated relationship between all of this.
[18:48] Kim Monson: But I think that people, so they try to paint Jefferson, oh, he had slaves, ah.
[18:52] Kim Monson: But he was a guy that wrote the Declaration of Independence.
[18:55] Kim Monson: How do you write the words that say all men are created equal and then not believe it?
[19:03] Kim Monson: But my friends, the thing that we don't tell our young people when they come out of college and they're saying, oh, they were slave owners, was that slavery was prevalent throughout the world.
[19:15] Kim Monson: And so the fact that this little country makes the statement, I guess they weren't a country yet, makes the statement that all men are created equal and they have these rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
[19:27] Yvonne Paez: Oh, yeah, and we weren't the first, but we were among the very first to abolish slavery in our country.
[19:35] Yvonne Paez: So it's funny how everything gets twisted, and they look at something that was going on all over the world and act like we were the only ones doing it and we were the worst ones doing it, and that's not it.
[19:47] Kim Monson: Well, when you say that we– I thought we were the first, however, the British because of– oh, the French?
[19:55] Yvonne Paez: Sorry, I'm not a historian, but I do know that we, I don't think we were the first.
[19:59] Yvonne Paez: I know because when he went to France with Ms.
[20:11] Yvonne Paez: That she could have achieved her freedom while over there because they didn't believe in freedom.
[20:20] Yvonne Paez: Right, because she chose instead to return and to use that leverage to negotiate freedom for her children.
[20:27] Yvonne Paez: So I know that at least France was a little bit ahead of us.
[20:33] Kim Monson: And, of course, then William Wilberforce, British Parliament, he worked to abolish the British slave trade.
[20:44] Kim Monson: So the world was a different place.
[20:47] Kim Monson: He said, you know that nobody wishes more ardently to see an abolition, not only of the trade, but the condition of slavery.
[20:56] Kim Monson: And certainly nobody will be more willing to encounter every sacrifice for that object.
[21:01] Kim Monson: So, again, standing at Monticello in Jefferson's space to think about the thoughts and the things that were going on.
[21:10] Kim Monson: And, of course, at the same time, they're declaring independence from Britain.
[21:18] Kim Monson: And so for kids to come out of college with the simplistic founders were slaves and slave owners and slavery is bad, we can agree on that.
[21:30] Kim Monson: But not understanding, and you and I were up late last night talking about the new slavery, and that is the slavery to government.
[21:40] Kim Monson: where government has came in, Lyndon Johnson basically, Great New Deal comes in and says, it's not Great New Deal, it is Great New Deal, he says, women, particularly at that time, black women, if you do not have a man in the house, we will take care of you and your family.
[22:03] Kim Monson: But yet it's not a great living, as Lauren Boebert has said, because she grew up with government assistance.
[22:11] Kim Monson: Government cheese is not that great, and when she got her first paycheck she's like: wait a minute, I kind of like a little bit of this.
[22:17] Kim Monson: But Lyndon Johnson's great new society kept people down, and slavery keeps people down.
[22:26] Kim Monson: Yeah indeed, and we have that modern day slavery.
[22:28] Yvonne Paez: So the government helps you out, but don't you dare want to be above that cutoff of where you get the help, because they'll just cut you right off of that.
[22:37] Yvonne Paez: And so when people are accustomed to that comfort zone, it's hard to leave the comfort zone and the safety net to go out there and step out onto that first rung of the ladder because that one is not comfortable.
[22:54] Yvonne Paez: And like me, you probably bought ramen by the case.
[22:56] Yvonne Paez: And if you had the discipline to eat only one a day when you couldn't afford anything, I could live on 10 cents.
[23:05] Yvonne Paez: And it's definitely not as comfortable as being on a government assistance.
[23:10] Yvonne Paez: But I am so, so thankful that I didn't know about government assistance or about government money because I might have been caught up in that trap.
[23:22] Yvonne Paez: And that was, as they say, to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.
[23:25] Yvonne Paez: but basically to just do and keep doing, putting one foot in front of the other every single day.
[23:31] Yvonne Paez: And if you have a vision, you will move up, right?
[23:36] Kim Monson: And Yvonne, you're an entrepreneur.
[23:40] Kim Monson: I'm an entrepreneur and it's scary.
[23:41] Kim Monson: Oh my gosh, it's scary to be your own boss and it's not a 40 hour week.
[23:47] Kim Monson: Coming in to get here to Montpellier, let me just put it this way.
[23:52] Kim Monson: I need to get some new shoes to match the bags under my eyes.
[23:58] Kim Monson: But entrepreneurship is where everyday people can go after their dreams.
[24:06] Kim Monson: I mean, they've been sponsors for several months, but that is Johnny Stubb Services.
[24:12] Kim Monson: They're experts in heating and air conditioning.
[24:15] Kim Monson: And John Lennon, the founder of Johnny Stubb Services, is truly an entrepreneur, and we have him on the line.
[24:27] Kim Monson: What do you think of our entrepreneurship talk?
[24:34] John Lennon: It's 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
[24:44] Kim Monson: Anyway, I want to talk about your business.
[24:48] Kim Monson: You founded it in 2015 and it continues to grow.
[24:53] Kim Monson: And I think the reason it grows because I had my initial experience, you and Robert came out to do the air conditioning check, getting ready for warm weather.
[25:04] Kim Monson: And first of all, I was running my calendar really tight and you were early.
[25:12] Kim Monson: And I'm like, ah, because just as I drove up, you were driving up and I I thought I had five extra minutes, but I was pretty impressed with that, John.
[25:22] John Lennon: We've got a software that alerts our customers when we're in a row, when we start the job, when we finish the job.
[25:29] John Lennon: So we definitely enjoy that just because we want our customer to know what we're doing.
[25:35] John Lennon: And as an entrepreneur, that's who I really work for.
[25:38] John Lennon: I work for my customers and for my employees.
[25:45] John Lennon: And so it's, you know, I get the yes or no at the end of the day, and I get to say how it goes.
[25:51] John Lennon: But, you know, you've got to take care of your customers, and you've got to do what you say you're going to do.
[25:56] John Lennon: So when you're doing those things, you've got a good, happy customer base, and they talk about you to their friends and their family.
[26:05] John Lennon: And, you know, word of mouth is the biggest thing.
[26:07] John Lennon: You're the first show that I've, or first advertisement I've done with my company since I started it, and it was sitting down with you and having that same feeling of how you're going to take care of me and your customer and, you know, help me grow my business.
[26:28] John Lennon: It was great dialogue in our conversation.
[26:31] John Lennon: I really saw who you were as a person and what you're trying to spread, and the knowledge you're giving your listener base, and everything like that.
[26:42] John Lennon: All of that really attracted to me in the aspect of who I am as a person.
[26:46] John Lennon: So seeing another business owner and entrepreneur doing the same thing and same mindset as me was definitely why I wanted to work with you and do this.
[26:59] Kim Monson: Well, and that is why I'm thrilled also, John, to welcome you as a sponsor.
[27:04] Kim Monson: is I know each of my sponsors personally, and I know that each of these businesses and Johnny's Stub Services is no exception to this.
[27:17] Kim Monson: And ultimately, when you take good care of your clients, you take good care of your employees, the people you work with and work with great people, then ultimately you, the owner, will be successful.
[27:27] Kim Monson: It's not an overnight success thing, though.
[27:29] Kim Monson: That's the thing with entrepreneurship is you have to plant the seeds, you have to water them.
[27:34] Kim Monson: And ultimately, if you do your job well, then you will be successful as well.
[27:40] Kim Monson: And that's the beauty of the real capitalism.
[27:47] Kim Monson: And that's the beauty of the American idea.
[27:49] Kim Monson: How can people, well, a couple of things.
[27:52] Kim Monson: And I will tell you, I'm with Yvonne Paez, and she is an Army veteran, former police officer.
[28:00] Kim Monson: and things are working like a well- oiled machinehere as far as our schedule, Johnny.
[28:06] Kim Monson: But I love that about her, and that is being prepared.
[28:12] Kim Monson: And being prepared as hot weather comes along.
[28:16] Kim Monson: And I find this so interesting that you've said to me that people can kind of get through, maybe, their furnace not working and waiting for you to get out there to see them and fix that because you are booked out a little bit.
[28:33] Kim Monson: But, man, when it's hot and the air conditioning goes out, people want to see you now, right?
[28:38] John Lennon: They are a little less patient when they are warm compared to the house getting cold, that is for sure.
[28:46] John Lennon: Yeah, and so doing these air conditioning checks.
[28:56] John Lennon: The maintenance on the air conditioner is, you know, there's a lot more moving parts in the air conditioner, so they do tend to break a lot more.
[29:02] John Lennon: So in the aspects of having us come out and do a cleaning check, you know, at the beginning of the season is always beneficial.
[29:10] John Lennon: So, you know, we did one at Steve's house, your house, and we've had a few other of your listeners call us, and we've taken care of them also.
[29:19] John Lennon: But what we're going to do is, come in.
[29:21] John Lennon: We're going to cycle the system through call for cool.
[29:26] John Lennon: We're going to clean some components, um, we're going to make sure that you've got proper, uh, airflow, you know, and just make sure the system's up and running, um, so that when you do go to pick them on when it's 75- 80 degrees and starting to warm up, you're going to be cool and comfortable in your home.
[29:44] John Lennon: So, um, and then also, as most of your listeners hopefully have heard at this point, along with that, we're going to bring you a goodie bag which includes some pretty nice swag and a little gift in there.
[29:58] John Lennon: It's a thank you to the first 50 of your listeners, which there's not 50 of them anymore, so they're starting to dwindle away, but there are still some left, so we would love to get the rest of those out there to the listeners.
[30:16] Kim Monson: I think that's probably the best way for people to get your phone number and reach out and get something scheduled.
[30:23] John Lennon: So the website is Johnny Stubbs Services.
[30:29] John Lennon: So that's J- O- H-N-N-Y-S-T-U-B-B-S-S-E-R-V-I-C-E-S.

[32:40] Kim Monson: out for our weekly email newsletter and you can email me at kim at kimmonson.
[32:44] Kim Monson: Thank you to all of you who support us.
[32:46] Kim Monson: We are an independent voice on an independent station, searching for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom.
[32:54] Kim Monson: If something's a good idea, you shouldn't have to force people to do it.
[32:58] Kim Monson: Hey, I did want to mention tomorrow at sedalia, at the firehouse museum, a taste of americana, and that is the annual Sedalia Garden Sales, and that is tomorrow, Saturday, May 20th, 9 a.
[33:08] Kim Monson: Theyhave over 50 varieties of heirloom tomatoes and all kinds of other vegetables and herbs.
[33:11] Kim Monson: Get there early before they're gone.
[33:20] Kim Monson: friend Nina, who is very involved with that, showed up the other day with my tomato plants.
[33:29] Kim Monson: But again, that is the Sedalia Garden Sale tomorrow at the Sedalia Firehouse and Museum, 9 a.
[33:39] Kim Monson: Yesterday we went to Monticello, which is Thomas Jefferson's home.
[34:00] Kim Monson: And she's on the line, so she knows we're talking about her, but you know her as well.
[34:12] Erin Lee: And hello to my friend Yvonne as well.
[34:19] Kim Monson: And Yvonne is the founder of Perspectives 101.
[34:22] Kim Monson: She is the co-founder with Solomon Martinez, which is a group that meets up in northern Colorado.
[34:29] Kim Monson: It's a civic group to inform people.
[34:34] Kim Monson: And so I know that you know Yvonne, but Erin Lee, you are a woman of great courage.
[34:42] Kim Monson: Your story is, first of all, riveting.
[34:45] Kim Monson: But there's some new developments in it.
[34:47] Kim Monson: But for people that don't know your story, set this up for us, Erin Lee.
[34:52] Erin Lee: Yeah, and I sometimes still can't believe that this has happened to us.
[34:57] Erin Lee: But Cliff Notes version, May of 2021, my little girl was invited to stay after school for art club by her art teacher in the art room.
[35:06] Erin Lee: In sixth grade, she had just turned 12.
[35:09] Erin Lee: And when she got there, it was actually GSA, or gender and sexuality awareness.
[35:14] Erin Lee: And there were two teachers in the room.
[35:15] Erin Lee: One was not her regular teacher.
[35:17] Erin Lee: And this woman, whom she'd never met before, used flags to describe umbrella terms, telling her if you're not completely comfortable in your body, that means you're transgender, or comfortable in your biological sex, that means you're transgender, that queer is a term to use while you're still figuring out your sexuality, because my daughter had never considered who she's sexually attracted to.
[35:39] Erin Lee: This woman talked about polyamory, suicide, telling the kids that their new labels that they had just adopted make them more likely to kill themselves.
[35:49] Erin Lee: She talked about puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones.
[35:53] Erin Lee: She told them families might not be safe, that they don't have to tell their parents where they are, not just for this after-school meeting, but for other meetings that she holds in our community.
[36:04] Erin Lee: And she handed out her cell phone number, her email, and asked the kids to connect with her on Discord.
[36:09] Erin Lee: which is a team chat platform with a quick hide feature where parents are not monitoring the conversation.
[36:16] Erin Lee: And as my daughter left the room that day, her art teacher even pulled her aside and doubled down on the secrecy, saying, remember, you don't have to tell your parents.
[36:26] Erin Lee: So we're lucky that when we picked her up that day, we knew something was wrong.
[36:30] Kim Monson: Well, and that's that point, is you pick her up.
[36:33] Kim Monson: And what this was two hours, three hours that they have these these children there and they're just bombarding them with with all of this.
[36:42] Kim Monson: So two or three hours she gets in the car and, you know, immediately something's not right.
[36:50] Erin Lee: And she had all this paraphernalia that they had given her.
[36:53] Erin Lee: So when she adopted that transgender and queer label, they gave her flags, stickers, bracelets that correspond with it.
[36:59] Erin Lee: And she was almost excited about understanding why she was so uncomfortable in her 12-year-old pubescent body.
[37:08] Erin Lee: She said, yeah, this flag represents me.
[37:09] Erin Lee: I understand now why I'm so uncomfortable in my body.
[37:12] Erin Lee: And so that confusion just from that one meeting really hit her deep.
[37:17] Kim Monson: But other children did not tell their parents.
[37:21] Kim Monson: I tell you, everybody should tell their parents or their children.
[37:25] Kim Monson: If anybody says don't tell your parents, tell your parents, and that is a big.
[37:34] Kim Monson: If kids are told not to tell their parents, that is one of the worst parts of all of this.
[37:41] Erin Lee: I mean, obviously her innocence was ripped away.
[37:43] Erin Lee: She was confused to the point of depression and suicidality because we didn't know how to help her through this confusion, and unfortunately, in the state of Colorado, therapists are also not able to do anything but affirm gender confusion in youth.
[38:00] Erin Lee: And like you said, there were other little girls in the room who followed the rules because the presenter had said, what you hear and hear, keep it here.
[38:08] Erin Lee: That was her number one rule.
[38:10] Erin Lee: And as we found out going public a year later, actually we went public on your radio show for the first time, there were other families who didn't know that their daughters had been attending these clubs because they followed the rules.
[38:23] Erin Lee: In fact, one of them who's on our lawsuit was in the club for almost a year, actually attempted suicide because of the confusion.
[38:32] Erin Lee: This little girl drank bleach in December of 2021 and was rushed to the hospital.
[38:36] Erin Lee: And it wasn't until May of 2022, when we went public, that her parents started asking her the right questions and connecting the dots.
[38:44] Erin Lee: And it turned out that she was told to keep the meeting a secret, but she was invited to these splash meetings that are held in the community, and she followed that rule.
[38:55] Kim Monson: And so, well, there's so many things I want to ask you about this.
[39:02] Kim Monson: So once you went public, that was not easy, though.
[39:07] Kim Monson: Tell us what happened then, Erin Lee, when you started to challenge the school district.
[39:12] Kim Monson: And this is Poudre Valley School District.
[39:16] Erin Lee: So we live in Wellington, which is a suburb of Fort Collins, the Poudre School District.
[39:21] Erin Lee: And we immediately spoke up.
[39:23] Erin Lee: I mean, the day after this incident, we did not let our daughter return to school.
[39:27] Erin Lee: It had harmed her in an unimaginable way.
[39:31] Erin Lee: There was no way we were putting her back into harm's way.
[39:34] Erin Lee: And we called the principal, who confirmed that this was intentionally a confidential meeting because the public school has to provide a safe space for students.
[39:42] Erin Lee: He's eluding a safe space from their families.
[39:45] Erin Lee: We emailed the woman who did this with our child, and she doubled down on everything.
[39:51] Erin Lee: I stood before the school board.
[39:53] Erin Lee: I begged for answers and help with the situation.
[39:57] Erin Lee: And it took them four months to get back to me.
[40:00] Erin Lee: And it was not for lack of trying.
[40:01] Erin Lee: I kept trying to follow up with all of the seven board members.
[40:05] Erin Lee: And when I finally got a sit-down with one, Kristen Draper, here in the Poudre School District, she's best friends with the woman who was in the classroom.
[40:12] Erin Lee: She volunteers with her organization called Skittles, which is to talk to 5 to 11-year-olds about gender and sex.
[40:20] Erin Lee: I sat down with another board member who was rude and seemed like she was also proud of what had happened.
[40:26] Erin Lee: The superintendent was completely gaslighting us.
[40:30] Erin Lee: He pretended to not know about our situation.
[40:33] Erin Lee: But FOIA emails showed he had already held meetings prior to sitting down with us about the situation and then pretended not to know about it.
[40:40] Erin Lee: And they just they fed us so many lies and gaslighting.
[40:44] Erin Lee: And after a year, we felt so hopeless and like we had no other choice but to go public and to warn other families.
[40:52] Erin Lee: In fact, we called the police when this happened because, again, my daughter was assaulted.
[40:56] Erin Lee: She's a little girl who was assaulted.
[40:58] Erin Lee: And the police told us to get loud because this isn't right.
[41:02] Erin Lee: It's morally, ethically wrong what they're doing with our children and other parents have a right to know.
[41:07] Erin Lee: So that's ultimately what drove us to go public was to protect other children and families from going through this.
[41:16] Kim Monson: Okay, Erin, people may be hearing your story and they'll say, but it couldn't happen at my school.
[41:26] Erin Lee: One of the blessings of coming forward, so it's been a year now that I've been very public, is so many other families coming forward to me.
[41:34] Erin Lee: And of course, it's heartbreaking to hear so many similar stories.
[41:37] Erin Lee: But I can confirm that this is happening everywhere in conservative communities, in conservative states.
[41:43] Erin Lee: I've spoken with families in Texas, in Florida, in Wisconsin.
[41:47] Erin Lee: This is happening absolutely everywhere.
[41:50] Erin Lee: The public education system has been infiltrated.
[41:55] Erin Lee: These agendas, like the one that was pushed on my child, I learned that we're just a small part of a much larger concerted effort to separate children from families and to attack their innocence and hyper-sexualize kids at younger and younger ages.
[42:10] Erin Lee: I know that it's happening everywhere.
[42:12] Erin Lee: And we were those unassuming, unexpecting parents who were overly trusting of our school system.
[42:19] Erin Lee: And so I understand where most parents are coming from.
[42:22] Erin Lee: I think there's a lot of willful ignorance, even when they do find out about it.
[42:26] Erin Lee: But we were those people until we got punched in the face with what's really happening.
[42:31] Erin Lee: So I cannot caution enough that it's happening everywhere.
[42:35] Erin Lee: And it's happening in subtle ways.
[42:37] Erin Lee: I mean, obviously, this was a major incident that happened with our daughter.
[42:41] Erin Lee: But children in every classroom across the country are getting hit with pronoun usage.
[42:46] Erin Lee: They're inserting this kind of conversation into math problems, reading assignments.
[42:52] Erin Lee: Social-emotional learning is happening across the country.
[42:54] Erin Lee: I can't emphasize enough that our kids are having little, tiny bites taken out of them every day that they're in government school.
[43:03] Kim Monson: And that is why shedding light on this is so important.
[43:07] Kim Monson: And there's been significant pushback for Erin Lee and her family.
[43:12] Kim Monson: But she's a mama bear, and she is fighting not only for her children, but for all the children of America.
[43:20] Kim Monson: And so something very exciting is happening.
[43:22] Kim Monson: And as she mentioned, we broke the story on our show.
[43:27] Kim Monson: And then, Erin, you have ended up on international news with this because of your courage.
[43:34] Kim Monson: But it's great to have you back, because you've got new news that just came out within the last few weeks.
[43:38] Kim Monson: We'll talk about that in just a moment.
[43:40] Kim Monson: But you get to hear all of this because of great sponsors.
[43:43] Kim Monson: And Roots Medical is a wonderful sponsor of the show.
[43:49] Kim Monson: It's not a Band-Aid for your health.
[43:50] Kim Monson: that's getting to the root of your health care.

[46:21] Kim Monson: Welcome back to the Kim Monson Show.
[46:26] Kim Monson: Sign up for our weekly email newsletter.
[46:28] Kim Monson: You can email me at Kim at KimMonson.
[46:30] Kim Monson: Thank you to all of you who support us.
[46:33] Kim Monson: We search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom.
[46:38] Kim Monson: If something's a good idea, you shouldn't have to force people to do it.
[46:42] Kim Monson: Co-hosting with me is my friend Yvonne Paez, and we are actually in location in Virginia.
[46:50] Kim Monson: Yesterday, we were at Monticello and thinking about ordinary people that have done extraordinary things.
[46:56] Kim Monson: And that makes me think of the Center for American Values, which is located right here in Pueblo, Colorado.
[47:01] Kim Monson: and Drew Dix, who's a co-founder and Medal of Honor recipient.
[47:06] Kim Monson: And our Medal of Honor recipients, which is the highest military honor that can be received by someone, is because they have saved lives.
[47:16] Kim Monson: And he said, there is nothing more noble, more revered, or more needed than to show what lengths Americans will go to to preserve its most cherished values.
[47:25] Kim Monson: It makes me think of the woman that we have on the– oh, check out Center for American Values.
[47:31] Kim Monson: But one of those such people is, this is what I have found, Aaron Lee, is the American idea is ordinary people that do extraordinary things.
[47:43] Kim Monson: You, your husband, these other parents are ordinary people that are doing extraordinary things to protect your children and the children of America and ultimately the children of the world.
[47:53] Kim Monson: We have a responsibility and duty to do that.
[47:58] Kim Monson: You have decided to file a lawsuit against Poudre Valley School Districts.
[48:04] Kim Monson: This is huge, so tell us about that.
[48:07] Erin Lee: Yeah, I'm very excited about it.
[48:10] Erin Lee: We filed on May 3rd, two weeks ago now, and that other family that I referenced, the little girl who drank bleach and they didn't know for a year that she had been in these art club meetings, they are on the lawsuit as well, as well as some other families whose statutes of limitations have lapsed are being very supportive with their testimony of very similar stories in the same school, same teacher, same thing.
[48:33] Erin Lee: Their little girls became confused and ultimately suicidal.
[48:35] Erin Lee: So we're incredibly excited about this.
[48:40] Erin Lee: You know, I've had my house broken into, I've had my car broken into, and I have never felt so violated as I did that day when my daughter came home and I learned that they had had a secret gender and sex meeting with her and they had stolen her innocence and they had impeded her rights to grow up free from indoctrination, her right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
[49:00] Erin Lee: So it's a federal lawsuit that claims our first and 14th amendment rights were violated.
[49:08] Erin Lee: My son is a plaintiff on the lawsuit as well.
[49:12] Erin Lee: We actually, after this incident with our daughter, we removed her, but we left him in the school district.
[49:18] Erin Lee: And so we asked for a gender support plan, which if parents don't know, gender support plans are a formal document to transition a child's gender.
[49:26] Erin Lee: And in most cases, the parents are not included.
[49:28] Erin Lee: In fact, the very first question is, are parents supportive?
[49:31] Erin Lee: If not, how do we accommodate or how do we lie to them?
[49:34] Erin Lee: And so we asked for one of those for my son to affirm his biological sex.
[49:39] Erin Lee: He's going to use the male bathroom.
[49:40] Erin Lee: You're going to call him by his God- givenname.
[49:43] Erin Lee: And they denied it, saying that cisgender is not a federally protected class.
[49:49] Erin Lee: So, you know, it's a blatant Title IX violation.
[49:51] Erin Lee: His civil rights were violated.
[49:53] Erin Lee: We were robbed of the opportunity to protect him from what had happened to our daughter.
[49:58] Erin Lee: And so our entire family family
[50:00] Erin Lee: Is on board with fighting back against what the school district has done to us and to others, and our hope here is to create case law and to set a precedent and to empower other parents to know that lawfare is possible and it's necessary to stop these school districts from doing what they're doing to families across the country.
[50:18] Kim Monson: Well, and a high-profile attorney has seen your case and is representing you.
[50:26] Erin Lee: Yes, yes, so we we representation here a lumen law in Colorado, but America first policy Institute has also co counseled on our case, and they're led by Pam bondi, who's the former Attorney General of Florida and and her robust team.
[50:41] Erin Lee: We have a whole team of lawyers who was just really excited to help us out with this case.
[50:49] Kim Monson: Exactly what would be the perfect resolution for you on this case?
[50:55] Erin Lee: You know, because we've removed our children from the district, the only recourse we have is monetary damages.
[51:00] Erin Lee: And obviously, you know, we have doctor's bills and private school bills and therapy bills.
[51:06] Erin Lee: And we've paid a lot of money into keeping our children alive and safe.
[51:11] Erin Lee: So that's our only recourse.
[51:13] Erin Lee: But again, my goal is to set a precedent and to encourage other parents because this is a very personal case, very personal, but it's also everyone's case.
[51:23] Erin Lee: I represent so many parents who are afraid to speak up, who are not in a position to fight back like I am.
[51:28] Erin Lee: So this case is not just for me.
[51:32] Kim Monson: Erin Lee, first of all, you mentioned other girls.
[51:36] Kim Monson: What we are really seeing now is the canceling of our young girls.
[51:43] Kim Monson: And our young, I mean, they're starting to prepare them, kindergarten or whatever, but once they get to puberty, ages 11, 12, 13, that is where they are really targeted.
[51:57] Kim Monson: And it is the canceling of our young girls.
[51:59] Kim Monson: And so the whole transgender activist movement- Yvonne and I were looking at the pictures before we went on air- of Adidas now has a pride swimsuit where they have a guy in a one-piece swimsuit with a guy bulge on it.
[52:14] Kim Monson: and then we know that guys are competing in women's sports.
[52:19] Kim Monson: I wonder where the heck the women's liberation movement is.
[52:27] Kim Monson: This is the canceling of our young girls.
[52:29] Kim Monson: That's a very confusing time, 11, 12, 13 years old.
[52:36] Kim Monson: And I can feel my blood pressures going up here, Erin Lee.
[52:42] Kim Monson: Yes, and so this is so in important on on what you're doing here.
[52:49] Kim Monson: Uh, we've got a couple of minutes left.
[52:51] Kim Monson: I guess we've got about three minutes left.
[52:56] Kim Monson: You probably need help with this lawsuit as well as funding.
[52:59] Kim Monson: I mean, is there a website tell us about that?
[53:01] Erin Lee: Yeah, so I am not asking for any funds for our lawsuit.
[53:06] Erin Lee: I, I paid my lawyer out of pocket and afpi.
[53:08] Erin Lee: I'm not asking for a bonus.
[53:10] Erin Lee: I never wanted people to think I was doing this for any reason other than bringing awareness and trying to protect other kids and families.
[53:18] Erin Lee: We're not asking for money for the lawsuit.
[53:20] Erin Lee: I am working on a documentary film with Senator Kevin Lundberg.
[53:24] Erin Lee: We're hoping to have it finished by August so we can present it to parents and they can make informed decisions for their own kids before going back to the public school system.
[53:34] Erin Lee: We are raising funds for that.
[53:36] Erin Lee: We're looking for$ 10,000 production costs.
[53:40] Erin Lee: And my website is just stocksgenderideology.
[53:44] Erin Lee: And that will take you to contact methods, go straight to my cell phone and email.
[53:49] Erin Lee: I've got some interviews that I've done.
[53:51] Erin Lee: It's got a link to our Give, Send, Go, where we're raising those funds.
[53:55] Erin Lee: And I'm super excited about that.
[53:57] Erin Lee: And I'm also this weekend flying out to film for a movie called Dysphoria, which will also be released sometime this summer.
[54:06] Erin Lee: And that's entirely about the capturing of our 11 to 15 year old girls in this transgender cult.
[54:13] Erin Lee: And that's exactly what it is.
[54:16] Erin Lee: And I believe, along with erasing women, there's a conveyor belt to medicalization, and they tried to put my child on the conveyor belt and we're really lucky that we pulled her off before it got too far.
[54:26] Erin Lee: But people should look out for that film as well.
[54:28] Erin Lee: And it's called dysphoria and it's going to be a really important expose.
[54:37] Kim Monson: Well, and the other thing, we talk a lot about these abortion bills that have gone through here in Colorado regarding just this aggressive abortion policies in Colorado, but Colorado has very aggressive transgender genital, gender mutilation of children as well, and also usurping parents' rights on parental notification on a whole variety of things.
[55:00] Kim Monson: Colorado is, I mean, we've got to keep an eye on this.
[55:05] Kim Monson: This lawsuit is going to be so important, Erin Lee.
[55:07] Kim Monson: So we've got about 15 seconds left.
[55:09] Kim Monson: How would you like to button this up?
[55:11] Erin Lee: Yeah, I just, what I say to parents every time, if you can, pull your kids out of government schools.
[55:16] Erin Lee: If you can't, take a much more active role in education.
[55:19] Erin Lee: And if anyone has similar stories or their rights have been violated, please contact me at that stopgenderideology.
[55:27] Erin Lee: My lawyers would love to speak with other parents in similar situations.
[55:30] Kim Monson: And I think just a simple thing that parents should do is we need to have transparency.
[55:35] Kim Monson: So there has to be transparency on the curriculum that's being taught to children, transparency on the after-school programs, transparency.
[55:43] Kim Monson: Shedding light on this is so important.
[55:52] Kim Monson: And our quote from Thomas Jefferson is, is my affections were first to my own country and then generally for all mankind.
[56:01] Kim Monson: And when we think about that, we have a duty to protect our children and the children of the world.
[56:07] Kim Monson: So my friends today, be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way.
[56:19] Kim Monson: God bless you and God bless America.
[56:26] Eric Manning: And I don't want no one to cry.
[56:30] Eric Manning: But tell them if I don't survive, I was born.
[56:35] Eric Manning: It's the Kim Monson Show.

[56:46] Kim Monson: An early childhood taxing district?
[56:50] Announcer: The latest in politics and world affairs.
[56:52] Kim Monson: I don't think that we should be passing legislation that is so complicated that people kind of throw up their hands and say, oh, I can't understand it.
[56:59] Announcer: Today's current opinions and ideas.
[57:01] Kim Monson: It is not fair that just because you're a big business that you get a break on this and the little guy doesn't.
[57:07] Announcer: Is it freedom or is it force?
[57:09] Announcer: Let's have a conversation.
[57:14] Kim Monson: And welcome to hour number two of the Kim Monson Show.
[57:17] Kim Monson: You're each treasured, you're valued, you have purpose.

[57:26] Kim Monson: And if you missed our number two, you can catch that again today, one to two in the afternoon on all KLZ platforms.
[57:34] Kim Monson: But when we talk about being made for this moment, Erin Lee and her husband and these other families with this lawsuit against the Poudre Valley School District, they are made for this moment and they are stepping up.
[57:53] Kim Monson: sign up for our weekly email newsletter there.

[58:03] Kim Monson: And thank you to all of you who support us.
[58:09] Kim Monson: It's Friday, second hour, which means that is open line Friday.
[58:13] Kim Monson: And this is new for me and it really keeps me on my toes, But it's a way for us to address these issues.
[58:24] Kim Monson: The text line is very busy, and we will be addressing those as well.
[58:30] Kim Monson: But I am on location in Virginia, which I have only been to Virginia one other time.
[58:35] Kim Monson: And I've fallen in love with Virginia.
[58:37] Kim Monson: And I'm here with my good friend, Yvonne Paez.
[58:42] Kim Monson: Yvonne, we are just having a glorious time.
[58:47] Yvonne Paez: And just to be in part of the birthplace of America with, you know, visiting the place where one of the people who actually penned some of these documents is just amazing.
[58:59] Kim Monson: Well, and four of our first five presidents were from Virginia.
[59:04] Kim Monson: And I'm going to have Scott Powell on Monday.
[59:08] Kim Monson: We're going to be talking about something different, but he's written a piece about if you're wanting to cancel America, you'll have to cancel Virginia because this is the birthplace.
[59:18] Kim Monson: This is the place where all of these ideas, so Madison, Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, I'm pretty sure Patrick Henry.
[59:30] Kim Monson: I mean, would you love, I mean, what, would you not have loved to just fit a fly on the wall during that time?
[59:36] Yvonne Paez: And as we visit these sites in this Blessings of Liberty tour, which, by the way, shout out to Mary Zenzan, who introduced me to doing these kinds of tours and then taking your family and friends on these kind of tours so that we never forget exactly how we started and how important it is to preserve it all.
[59:54] Kim Monson: Well, and this all came to us because of an event from the USMC Memorial Foundation.
[60:00] Kim Monson: You attended that event, and there were two World War II veterans there that you got to meet.
[60:05] Kim Monson: That was Jim Blaine and Don Whipple.
[60:14] Kim Monson: And so there was up for auction a property, and you thought you were bidding on something in Colorado.
[60:22] Kim Monson: And ended up then because I have a friend that has wild skies up on the Western Slope.
[60:26] Kim Monson: You're like: wait a minute, this was Virginia.
[60:30] Kim Monson: I said: oh, I'd like to come too, and you said: okay so, and it's really been great to get to know your family as well.
[60:37] Kim Monson: But Paula Sorrell's, who is the president of the USMC Memorial Foundation, and her team, it is on their heart to do this remodel, and you said something in the first hour and that is So.
[60:49] Kim Monson: You were born in America and then you were away for that.

[62:31] Commercial Jingle: Yeah!
[62:32] Producer Steve: Yes, it is glorious Friday, and this is producer Steve.
[62:41] Producer Steve: As you know, Kim is back in Virginia.
[62:44] Producer Steve: We're using our best technology, but even the best technology has a habit of messing up whenever you least expect it.
[62:52] Producer Steve: I have on the line with me Dr.
[62:54] Producer Steve: Craig Stimson, one of Kim's newest sponsors and Dr.
[62:59] Producer Steve: Stimson, how are you today?
[63:01] Dr. Craig Stimson: I'm doing great, thank you for having me this morning.
[63:04] Producer Steve: You're quite welcome, and you know I've been following you know, since you've been a sponsor of the show Kim's trials, in terms of having the recommendation from a friend that led the two of you to start working together.
[63:19] Producer Steve: And I'm thinking at my particular age, which I won't say on the air, I'm starting to think that the chiropractic practice is something that maybe I should look into.
[63:35] Producer Steve: The thing is that I still have going for me.
[63:40] Producer Steve: I'm still at the age where I can do something, I can exert to a certain degree, and yeah, I'll pay the price for it for 24, maybe 48 hours, and then it goes away.
[63:47] Producer Steve: But you know, there are other people where that's just not true.
[63:50] Dr. Craig Stimson: Well, you're exactly right.
[63:52] Dr. Craig Stimson: And yeah, I was listening to Kim.
[63:53] Dr. Craig Stimson: It sounds like she's having a great time out there, and she actually sent me a text saying that she's doing great walking around.
[63:59] Dr. Craig Stimson: And that's what I really do- is try to help people to be able to live their life and enjoy it more.
[64:07] Dr. Craig Stimson: whether that's going on vacation and traveling, that season's here, or sports like golf or running.
[64:14] Dr. Craig Stimson: We've got the big marathon this weekend.
[64:16] Dr. Craig Stimson: I help patients with all sorts of things like that and gardening as well.
[64:19] Dr. Craig Stimson: So really you want to be able to do your life and enjoy it and be pain- free.
[64:24] Dr. Craig Stimson: As you mentioned, if you do something, you're sore for a day or two, that's usually okay, but if something lasts a week or more, it probably needs some attention.
[64:33] Dr. Craig Stimson: Well, I just know.
[64:35] Producer Steve: I mean, reality tells me that someday that little cycle is not going to hold out, that I'm going to eventually start.
[64:44] Producer Steve: I mean, one of the things, I mean, this is probably more a different specialty, but I got involved at the Colorado Railroad Museum three or four years ago.
[64:53] Producer Steve: And one of the first things that happened to me in both hands, I developed trigger finger.
[64:57] Producer Steve: And again, that's probably a different specialty.
[65:00] Producer Steve: But the point is, is that it needed attention.
[65:03] Producer Steve: So, you know, you're just prone to, you know, come to the realization that you're going to need, you know, more, a higher level of help.
[65:13] Producer Steve: Sure.
[65:15] Dr. Craig Stimson: And as we do different activities that maybe we weren't used to, we use different muscles and overwork them, that can develop all sorts of problems, help a lot of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, which is kind of similar along those lines.
[65:28] Dr. Craig Stimson: And so all sorts of issues can be.
[65:30] Dr. Craig Stimson: So how much?
[65:33] Dr. Craig Stimson: Take it away, Kim.
[65:35] Producer Steve: Okay.
[65:38] Kim Monson: And I just wanted to say I saw you before I left on Tuesday, I think it is, as I came in for a tune- upbecause I'd been working hard lifting things, and I thought, oh, I think if I'm going to be traveling, I'd like to get a tune- up.
[65:53] Kim Monson: I have to tell you, because of your help, I've been waltzing around Monticello out here in Virginia, Dr.
[66:02] Dr. Craig Stimson: And I was just talking with Producer Steve that that's what we try to do, is help people to be able to enjoy their life pain- free.
[66:09] Kim Monson: And I am so grateful that we have met.
[66:14] Kim Monson: I'm grateful to have you as a new sponsor of the show.
[66:18] Kim Monson: What is the best way for people to reach you?
[66:19] Dr. Craig Stimson: Kim, they can call me at 303- 691-1771.
[66:25] Dr. Craig Stimson: And that is Dr.
[66:29] Kim Monson: and greatly appreciate working with you as a sponsor partner, and we will talk to you next week.
[66:35] Dr. Craig Stimson: Okay, thanks, Kim.
[66:36] Kim Monson: And another great sponsor of the show is the Rockwell Foundation.
[66:40] Kim Monson: Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance Team.
[66:42] Kim Monson: Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance Team.
[66:44] Kim Monson: And it runs like a well-oiled machine as well.
[66:50] Kim Monson: And the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance Team wants you to feel safe and well-served, to understand your insurance coverage, and know that your office will respond to your call or text 24 hours a day.
[67:00] Kim Monson: For that 24-hour peace of mind, call Roger Mangan at 303-795-8855.
[67:05] Kim Monson: Like a good neighbor, Roger Mangan's team is there.
[67:07] Producer Steve: Well, I hate to break the news to you, but we've already heard from Roger because, you know, when the link failed, I went to break.
[67:20] Kim Monson: So Yvonne and I are having this great conversation.
[67:22] Kim Monson: I'm looking at the text messages, my phone.
[67:24] Kim Monson: I have all these different things that we check out and we're just, we are, we are rocking it in our conversation.
[67:31] Kim Monson: I looked over, it says connection failed.
[67:33] Kim Monson: So I don't know how much of that that you got, but to the true pro that you are going ahead with, Dr.
[67:39] Kim Monson: Stimson, great sponsor, as well as the Roger Megan State Farm Insurance team.
[67:43] Kim Monson: So with that, I have to ask you, how long did Yvonne and I just talk to ourselves?
[67:54] Producer Steve: Well, I mean, the link went, it was gone, and I waited about five, ten seconds, and our protocol is to start the break.
[68:01] Producer Steve: And I did, and I'm watching the break go and the timer is going down.
[68:05] Producer Steve: It's like waiting for you to reconnect and like, and we're about, I don't know, 20 seconds away from the break being over.
[68:11] Producer Steve: It's like okay, I need to take this and the rest is now history.
[68:19] Kim Monson: Clearly it is live radio and so hey, thanks for covering for that.
[68:23] Kim Monson: I'll try to watch that a little bit more, but maybe it is.
[68:27] Kim Monson: Maybe we didn't get that John Galt quote because we were talking about the importation of slaves.
[68:36] Kim Monson: And if it's redundant, you know, they say, Yvonne, you have to hear things seven times before you remember that.
[68:43] Kim Monson: This is from our listener, John Galt.
[68:46] Kim Monson: was the first to ban the importation of slaves, followed three weeks later by the British.
[68:52] Kim Monson: Slave trade was still legal within the two countries, but roughly another half century.
[68:55] Kim Monson: But there were significant legal battles to end slavery altogether.
[69:00] Kim Monson: And then to your point, Yvonne, we were looking at the Sally Hemings wall there at Monticello, and she had accompanied Jefferson to France, and she was free in France.
[69:14] Yvonne Paez: She could have been released in France as free.
[69:18] Yvonne Paez: She negotiated instead for the freedom of her children, promising to return with him.
[69:24] Kim Monson: So France, so these countries are all debating on what to do.
[69:30] Kim Monson: And with Jefferson in the declaration where he says that all men are created equal.
[69:35] Yvonne Paez: And if we said this, we're going to say it one more time, because your point about that all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, you explained man what That means it's the terminology of when they say all men are created equal, what they mean from the times is, is all of mankind is created equal because both words men and women contain the word men in it because we're both mankind.
[70:07] Yvonne Paez: And people need to wrap their heads around that and stop trying to, and I'll say this, but to judge our predecessors through the lens of the 2020s.
[70:17] Yvonne Paez: It's like me going back to kindergarten and faulting a kindergartner for not knowing what I know if I'm in high school.
[70:25] Yvonne Paez: You have to put yourself in the times, in their shoes, with the language that they had, and then assess the situation.
[70:32] Yvonne Paez: It's childish and actually ignorant to judge people with the knowledge and advances that you have more than 200 years after.
[70:47] Kim Monson: You mentioned knowledge and advances that we've made.
[70:49] Kim Monson: That is implying that we have made those.
[70:52] Kim Monson: But do you think the founders, looking at Adidas, Adidas has said to Anheuser-Busch, hold my beer as we're going to, I think, self-destruct our particular brand.
[71:06] Kim Monson: I saw the pictures of this, the pride swimsuit, which the founders would never, when all men are created equal, they realize there's two genders.
[71:18] Kim Monson: I mean, they would look at us and go, are you flipping out of your minds?
[71:21] Kim Monson: and with all these different genders and that men are dressing up in, I mean, women's swimsuits.
[71:31] Kim Monson: It's a luxury of freedom that people can misbehave like this.
[71:36] Yvonne Paez: I mean, when coming from another country, you know, which is a developing nation or a third world country or whatever.
[71:44] Yvonne Paez: expat in Mexico for 14 years, and looking from that vantage point to over here, I would look at, and as many foreigners look at Americans, as people who create a storm in a glass of water.
[72:02] Kim Monson: And it's because I really think that they're working to undercut this American idea that all men are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
[72:12] Kim Monson: My friends, indulge me as far as the quote of the day if we were off the air.
[72:16] Kim Monson: I just want you to hear this again from Thomas Jefferson, because this whole issue is much more complex than what college students are taught about.
[72:24] Kim Monson: Oh, slave owner, negate, cancel, whatever.
[72:28] Kim Monson: And Thomas Jefferson said this, and this is this great little book that I bought, The Words of Thomas Jefferson.
[72:34] Kim Monson: You know that nobody wishes more ardently to see an abolition not only of the trade, but the condition of slavery, and certainly nobody will be more willing to encounter every sacrifice for that object.
[72:45] Kim Monson: And so these things take time, Yvonne Paez.
[72:48] Kim Monson: Big ideas, challenging big ideas take time.
[72:51] Kim Monson: And that's why with our listeners, do not lose heart.
[72:55] Kim Monson: I know that it looks daunting with what is going on right now, but do not lose heart, Yvonne.
[73:04] Yvonne Paez: And again, we cannot judge people from our past dealing with what they were dealing with.
[73:17] Yvonne Paez: And when you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what's happening.
[73:26] Kim Monson: And we have all of these great little sayings in the place that we're staying.
[73:30] Kim Monson: Hey, we have Johnny in Denver on the line.
[73:32] Kim Monson: Johnny in Denver, what's on your radar?
[73:33] Johnny in Denver: Yeah, I was just thinking about what you were saying about when you talk about history, you've got to put your mind in the mindset of the people in the past and not be talking, changing it over to something crazy.
[73:50] Johnny in Denver: And I think a lot of this goes back to our parents being able to talk to us.
[73:58] Johnny in Denver: Because when I was being raised, you were to be seen and not heard.
[74:00] Johnny in Denver: right but it was still a little bit of a common sense going on there but parents would just start saying okay just start talking about like okay you're going to go into school and and the school is is not only the teaching but to get you ready for this industrial age because school started because they needed workers to be able to do just, you know, simple things, listen, obey, shut up, and do your job.
[74:36] Johnny in Denver: It wasn't taught to teach you economics or it wasn't taught to, it wasn't there to teach you to be business owners and things of that sort.
[74:45] Johnny in Denver: That has to come from the home, and not every parent is the same.
[74:51] Johnny in Denver: So you have different kids going to school, learning different things.
[74:55] Johnny in Denver: And I didn't get this until I started getting older.
[74:59] Johnny in Denver: And I said, man, I wish my parents would have been more open to talking to me and not saying, you know, do this, do that, do that, do this, because they didn't realize that my mind was so curious.
[75:15] Johnny in Denver: I was always, my favorite question was, why?
[75:18] Johnny in Denver: When I went to school.
[75:19] Johnny in Denver: I couldn't do this at home.
[75:22] Johnny in Denver: Because my mother would probably hit me across the room.
[75:25] Johnny in Denver: But at school, I would always say, why, why, why?
[75:29] Kim Monson: You have just hit on something, Johnny, and thank you so much.
[75:33] Kim Monson: And Yvonne, that is intellectual curiosity.
[75:38] Kim Monson: And that question of why, we were talking about it last night, that that was something inherent in us is this intellectual curiosity, why?
[75:47] Kim Monson: And what I think the founders, when they talked about education, it was this classical liberal education that you had the tools to be able to read, write, and do arithmetic.
[76:00] Kim Monson: And 20-some years ago, cursive writing was canceled.
[76:07] Kim Monson: There's a lot of kids that cannot write with cursive writing, which means that they may not be able to actually read our founding documents.
[76:15] Kim Monson: and so there was the canceling of Curtive.
[76:18] Kim Monson: Now we're going to see, this is a great segue, the canceling of AM radio in cars because AM radio, that's a place where people when they're commuting in their cars, they will listen to that.
[76:30] Kim Monson: So there has been this movement to get rid of AM radio in cars.
[76:36] Kim Monson: We've talked to Lauren Fix, the car coach, who's explained that AM radio is also, it's a safety feature.
[76:43] Kim Monson: So if everything goes to hell in a handbasket, you can get information on AM radio.
[76:51] Kim Monson: But one of the reasons I see that this is happening is the canceling of the curiosity of the different voices out there that people can listen to.
[77:00] Kim Monson: And it's just another way for controlling the narrative.
[77:05] Kim Monson: So canceling cursive and going back to Johnny though, it is intellectual curiosity.
[77:12] Kim Monson: So you have the tools, reading, writing, arithmetic, critical thinking, science, history, all those, but also with intellectual curiosity, the sky is the limit.
[77:24] Yvonne Paez: And we saw such a perfect example of that with Thomas Jefferson.
[77:28] Yvonne Paez: And we saw all the little projects and things he was involved with.
[77:31] Yvonne Paez: He was so curious about the world, it consumed him.
[77:35] Yvonne Paez: His library, all the books he consulted.
[77:39] Yvonne Paez: I can't even describe it on the radio, but you'd write somewhere and it was all hooked up, so it would write on the other side.
[77:47] Yvonne Paez: But his natural curiosity was to the extent that that's all he did, and he wasn't much of a businessman, which is why he lost his property and everything.
[77:58] Yvonne Paez: And we need to be more curious and we certainly need to be talking to each other and having the conversations, these intellectual conversations that our forefathers had amongst themselves, to come up with this great idea.
[78:14] Kim Monson: Do you not think that's why we've had the dumbing down of our education system?
[78:19] Kim Monson: Well, first of all, there was the dumbing down thing, and now there's the taking, as we were talking with Erin Lee, that taking time after school time, time in classrooms to be pushing this transgender, radical activist transgender ideology.
[78:34] Kim Monson: And so there was the dumbing down, this is the next thing.
[78:37] Kim Monson: It's putting us down to the very basic animal instincts that there are in, Well, actually, in animal instincts, we're not seeing a lot of transgenderism in the animal world.
[78:57] Kim Monson: But instead of thinking, at the end of the show, when I say think great thoughts, I mean, we have these choices.
[79:02] Kim Monson: We certainly can drill down to just animal instincts.
[79:06] Kim Monson: But as human beings, we have this opportunity to think, to look at these high ideals, and as Johnny said, to ask why.
[79:15] Yvonne Paez: Yeah, we don't need to descend into Lord of the Flies.
[79:18] Yvonne Paez: What we need to do is have conversations and that we bounce off of each other because, and it's important that we gather together in person to have these conversations because it doesn't create, if two people speak, it doesn't create just two ideas.
[79:35] Yvonne Paez: When people are together, it grows exponentially.
[79:40] Yvonne Paez: There is this synergy that creates an explosion of ideas.
[79:46] Producer Steve: Well, the dumbing down thing kind of caught my attention, you know, and it's a selectively engineered dumbing down.
[79:54] Producer Steve: And I don't want to take the spotlight away from Jefferson, but I think I told you about my recent example regarding Washington.
[80:04] Producer Steve: A kid was asked about, do you know George Washington?
[80:06] Producer Steve: Yeah, slave owner.
[80:08] Producer Steve: And he stopped right there.
[80:09] Producer Steve: He didn't talk about being the first president.
[80:12] Producer Steve: He didn't talk about he was the commander of the Continental Army.
[80:16] Producer Steve: None of that.
[80:19] Producer Steve: The only thing that was known was that Washington, slave owner.
[80:21] Yvonne Paez: And if I may jump in that with the slave owner thing, it's like they want to control the narrative of slave owner bad.
[80:29] Yvonne Paez: Now, we have to remember that slave owner at the time, it was a form of a boss.
[80:33] Yvonne Paez: It was just a different one, and it was nothing we want to be doing.
[80:36] Yvonne Paez: But just like we have bosses in regular work, we have good bosses and we have bad bosses.
[80:46] Yvonne Paez: I mean, it was, well, slavery wasn't good.
[80:49] Yvonne Paez: It wasn't, I'm not saying that the institutional slavery was in any way good, but working within the framework that they had at the time that was part of their world, there were people who were abusive within that framework and people who were not.
[81:07] Yvonne Paez: And nobody is speaking about the ones who were not.
[81:12] Yvonne Paez: So if that is part of your system, who is working more benevolently within that framework that they've been handed and who is not?
[81:23] Yvonne Paez: And so they are just trying to dominate the narrative with the fact that everybody was a bad person and was abusive and, you know, God forbid, you know, you know, having a non consensual relations with people and all of that.
[81:36] Yvonne Paez: So we must remember that there were people at the time who knew that if they didn't hold their people within the framework of what was going on at the time and they let them go to someone else, they didn't know how that someone else was going to treat them.
[81:56] Yvonne Paez: So in some cases, when the people were good people, it was a protection mechanism to hold on to their people because until things changed and until they were free, they could only protect them if they had them in their household within their purview.
[82:14] Kim Monson: So there's this duty and this responsibility, and we saw that as well in this whole discussion regarding slavery and it was really interesting, producer Steve, you could see this narrative though of the bad slave owners and there are, and I guess it's difficult to say that there were good slave owners, but within this context of where they were, but now instead of slaves, the new term that we're seeing here is enslaved people.
[82:47] Kim Monson: Yeah, enslaved people, that's the new word.
[82:49] Yvonne Paez: Well, and I don't know how that changes anything for them.
[82:53] Yvonne Paez: What they went through is what they went through, and it doesn't change.
[82:56] Kim Monson: But, Yvonne, America, within 70-plus years, spends all kinds of sacrifices, all kinds of blood and treasure, to answer this question, can one man be the property of another?
[83:12] Kim Monson: Now, it is happening still in America, but the answer is no.
[83:16] Kim Monson: And you've got a quote that you wanted to share.
[83:20] Yvonne Paez: of Jefferson's quotes on slavery is, my opinion has ever been that until more can be done for them, and when he says them, he means the slaves or the enslaved people, we should endeavor with those whom fortune has thrown on our hands to feed and clothe them well, protect them from ill usage, requires such reasonable labor only as is performed voluntarily by free men and be led by no repugnancies to abdicate them and our duties to them.
[84:00] Kim Monson: So you can see how they're wrestling with this.
[84:02] Kim Monson: And then what was it, you know, the 1860-ish Civil War?
[84:08] Kim Monson: 1860, 61, right in there, that's the Civil War.
[84:11] Kim Monson: So all, I mean, what an amazing time to be alive.
[84:15] Kim Monson: just like when I say we were made for this time.
[84:17] Kim Monson: We're in a really interesting time as well, Yvonne Paez.
[84:20] Kim Monson: We get to have these important conversations.
[84:22] Kim Monson: Again, we'd love to hear from you, 303-477-5600.
[84:27] Kim Monson: I know you're coming in on the text line, which is 720-605-0647.

[85:55] Producer Steve: No matter how you define it, inflation is out of control.
[86:01] Producer Steve: Increasing prices at the gas pump and grocery stores are hurting everyday people.
[86:05] Producer Steve: All these challenges we face are preventable.
[86:08] Producer Steve: Individuals must understand what is going on and who is responsible.
[86:13] Producer Steve: That is why Kim Monson is bringing truth and clarity to the issues facing our families, our communities, our state, and our country.
[86:21] Producer Steve: Now more than ever, it's important to support Kim's independent voice.
[86:24] Producer Steve: She has the courage to research and inform you about the real issues.
[86:29] Producer Steve: It's not easy, and Kim could use your help.

[87:10] Kim Monson: Tomorrow, Saturday May 20th, it is the 11th annual Sedalia garden sale at the Sedalia Firehouse and Museum, and that's 9 a.
[87:20] Kim Monson: And they will have over 50 varieties of heirloom tomatoes selected for hardiness and high altitude, cool weather and the short growing season of Colorado.
[87:28] Kim Monson: They have many other vegetables and herbs.
[87:30] Kim Monson: Get them before they're gone and again that's 9 to 2 tomorrow out in Sedalia and it is a taste of Americana, so I know that they would love to have you.
[87:39] Kim Monson: And as we talk about this great American idea, I am so thrilled, as you know, I work with the USMC Memorial Foundation, but also working with the Center for American Values, which is located right here in Pueblo, Colorado.
[87:55] Kim Monson: They have all these educational programs for educators, home educators.
[88:01] Kim Monson: But this Portraits of Valor, Yvonne Paez is in our studio in Virginia with me.
[88:08] Kim Monson: And that is the Center for American Values, their gallery exhibit, which is Portraits of Valor.
[88:14] Kim Monson: It's an extraordinary collection of portraits and documentation of more than 160 Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.
[88:19] Kim Monson: And it is a powerful example of the self-sacrifice one segment of our society is made to protect the freedoms we all enjoy.
[88:35] Kim Monson: It is an important, it's a really important place, Yvonne.
[88:43] Yvonne Paez: And when you visit places like that, you get to feel where we came from and where we're going.
[88:52] Kim Monson: And that is why we need to equip ourselves in this battle of ideas that is raging in America.
[88:59] Kim Monson: I mentioned Center for American Values.
[89:01] Kim Monson: We have, let's get over here to our callers, 303-477-5600.
[89:05] Kim Monson: Doug in Littleton, what's on your radar?
[89:09] Doug in Littleton: Yes, a question that they always demonize the founding fathers to tear them down.
[89:14] Doug in Littleton: But one quick question.
[89:16] Doug in Littleton: How come so many slave or black people took the name Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln?
[89:22] Doug in Littleton: Because their ancestors knew these were great men that did great things for them.
[89:27] Doug in Littleton: Because you wouldn't find somebody taking the last name Hitler.
[89:30] Doug in Littleton: and that's a lot out there, that just common sense.
[89:35] Doug in Littleton: Why did they take those names?
[89:37] Doug in Littleton: These were great men.
[89:38] Doug in Littleton: Their ancestors knew they were great men.
[89:40] Doug in Littleton: They did great things for them, and they're demonized unfairly, obviously, that people don't know history.
[89:49] Doug in Littleton: They can even look in their own roots, if you would, to see the history and the richness of the sacrifices that people made And our founding fathers, they did great things, great men.
[90:06] Doug in Littleton: And it's a shame that they're demonized.
[90:10] Kim Monson: That is such a great point, Doug and Littleton.
[90:13] Kim Monson: One of my first books that I had was about Booker T.
[90:18] Kim Monson: And I hadn't really connected that dot.
[90:21] Kim Monson: So, Doug and Littleton, thank you for that thought on that.
[90:25] Kim Monson: And let's move over here to Eric Manning.
[90:30] Kim Monson: He's the creator of Manning's Famous Burritos.
[90:37] Eric Manning: Hi, Kim, and your guest.
[90:39] Eric Manning: Hey, young lady.
[90:42] Eric Manning: I text you, but I want to say it on the air.
[90:44] Eric Manning: When you were talking about the kids and, you know, that young lady that you had on as a guest early this morning, I bring up three people.
[90:56] Eric Manning: Chief Vanessa Wilson, Danielle Jurinski, and Chief's girlfriend, Neseta.
[91:05] Eric Manning: The reason why I bring them three up is because it associates with child protection services.
[91:12] Eric Manning: Why don't the parents turn in these teachers and the principals and the administration superintendents when something occurs as their children being abused?
[91:27] Eric Manning: That would solve the solution problem to me.
[91:31] Kim Monson: It's true, because if you really believe that the term child protection services means protecting children, that would be, yes, the appropriate place to go.
[91:43] Kim Monson: But like everything else, it has been co-opted.
[91:47] Kim Monson: And these kids have gotten into this narrative- that if you- this is what kids are being taught after they go through these indoctrination meetings, like Aaron Lee's daughter did, that- they say you might not be safe with your parents if they do not affirm this confusion that we have just created.
[92:09] Kim Monson: And in essence, the child protection services.
[92:15] Eric Manning: Reverse the roles.
[92:16] Eric Manning: Well, we need the teachers with the parents having the power of their their children.
[92:22] Eric Manning: Hypothetically speaking, me and you had a child going to, you know, junior high school.
[92:28] Eric Manning: Kim, let's call Child Protective Services against these teachers and see what's going on.
[92:34] Eric Manning: The media, you know, they don't want that black eye.
[92:37] Yvonne Paez: You know, and I think it's important to remember.
[92:41] Yvonne Paez: The parents don't know because the children were told not to tell their parents.
[92:47] Yvonne Paez: So you and other people are thinking the parents know this is going on.
[92:51] Yvonne Paez: Now, remember, the parents don't find out about this until the kids have been in this process for two, three, four, five, six months, and there's severe damage going on.
[93:02] Yvonne Paez: So that probably answers the question as to why the parents aren't doing something or pulling them out.
[93:07] Yvonne Paez: First, they'd have to know, which is why we have these conversations and are screaming from the rooftops to try to inform people.
[93:14] Eric Manning: But I think that it wants the child because they're pretty powerful.
[93:17] Eric Manning: And then them teachers don't want that.
[93:19] Eric Manning: You know, the administration, they don't want that attention.
[93:21] Eric Manning: They don't want that black eye on their school.
[93:23] Eric Manning: And then, you know, it would get out there.
[93:26] Eric Manning: You know how rumors fly.
[93:28] Eric Manning: You know what I'm saying, how it gets around.
[93:30] Eric Manning: If you teachers don't behave, Shabba Texas Service is going to come knocking on your classroom door.
[93:38] Eric Manning: So on that note, have a great weekend.
[93:40] Eric Manning: And Kim, before I let you go, I text you that Monticello in Italian means little mountain.
[93:51] Kim Monson: Oh, you are so, I did not realize that until you sent that text message in.
[93:57] Kim Monson: And that's why the lawsuit that Erin Lee and her husband and these other parents are bringing forward against the Poudre Valley School District is so important.
[94:09] Kim Monson: Brian in Longmont, what's on your radar?
[94:13] Brian in Longmont: Pardon me.
[94:15] Brian in Longmont: Well, we're going to have to deal with a frog in my throat.
[94:20] Brian in Longmont: That's okay.
[94:22] Brian in Longmont: Okay, thank you.
[94:24] Brian in Longmont: It occurred to me that some of these people may think that or propagate the idea that, well, this movement that we are starting is like we're trying to be a certain thing.
[94:47] Brian in Longmont: We're trying to break away, just like the slaves did.
[94:55] Brian in Longmont: And I think that's not, and they see that as a reason to keep on going.
[95:06] Brian in Longmont: And I think that's, I don't agree with that.
[95:10] Brian in Longmont: But, and then I'd like to add that some of the people who have gone trance, some of them have come back and said it was a mistake that I did this.
[95:24] Brian in Longmont: And there are still others that think it's okay.
[95:30] Brian in Longmont: It's not for me to say I don't think that it's okay, but that's not for me to judge at this time.
[95:38] Brian in Longmont: But I'm opposed to it.
[95:41] Kim Monson: So good points on that, Brian and Longmont.
[95:44] Kim Monson: I think what I'm hearing you say is that many times these radical activist agendas are trying to attach themselves to a noble question, and that is slavery.
[95:57] Kim Monson: And they're trying to equate this whole sexuality thing with slavery.
[96:03] Kim Monson: And it does make it difficult to engage in the battle of ideas because it clouds the issue somewhat.
[96:09] Kim Monson: And am I hearing you correctly on that, Brian?
[96:15] Brian in Longmont: That's correct.
[96:16] Brian in Longmont: I think that some of them probably really do believe that.
[96:21] Brian in Longmont: and go forward with that belief.
[96:25] Brian in Longmont: And maybe in some instances it is.
[96:30] Brian in Longmont: It's like any teachers or coaches in sports.
[96:37] Brian in Longmont: Some of them are good and some of them are bad.
[96:41] Brian in Longmont: And like with the Denver Broncos, The guy from the Green Bay Packers was a really good coach, but it didn't work out for him to come here last year.
[96:57] Brian in Longmont: And it didn't mean he wasn't a good coach.
[96:59] Brian in Longmont: It just didn't fit.
[97:01] Brian in Longmont: And then there's other guys that it just doesn't work.
[97:38] Brian in Longmont: So it's subtleties, but some of them, and like some people, like some law enforcement people, One of your friends you had on earlier today was in law enforcement, and some law enforcement people I personally have seen and really judged rightly or wrongly that some of them like to beat up on people.
[97:49] Brian in Longmont: But there's a lot of people in law enforcement that aren't like that.
[97:53] Brian in Longmont: And some of them are too weak.
[97:55] Brian in Longmont: And some of them, you know, you hear what I'm trying to say, I think.
[97:59] Kim Monson: I think what you're saying is within everything there can be good guys and there can be bad guys.
[98:04] Kim Monson: And I so appreciate that, Brian and Longmont.
[98:10] Kim Monson: And so thank you for that call, 303-477-5600.
[98:14] Kim Monson: Yvonne, I have a lot more that I want to talk about on all these things.
[98:19] Kim Monson: But we get to have these important conversations.
[98:25] Kim Monson: We take on things that nobody else, well, there are other people that do it, but not a lot of people take on all this stuff.
[98:31] Kim Monson: I mean, in this hour, in this show, transgenderism, slavery, women, canceling of women.
[98:40] Kim Monson: We hit it all, but these all are the important things.
[98:42] Kim Monson: We get to do this because of great sponsors like Lorne Levy.
[98:46] Lorne Levy: A reverse mortgage can be an important financial tool for individuals 62 and older.

[101:22] Kim Monson: It's Friday, Friday battle of ideas.
[101:24] Kim Monson: I know this is going to be a stretch as you see me connect this dot, but it is important.
[101:29] Kim Monson: And that is, is for your political or business career, you need to have an appropriate publicity shot.
[101:36] Kim Monson: And the place to get that, that photo is Janssen Photography.
[101:41] Kim Monson: And you need to make sure you have all the tools in the toolbox.
[101:43] Kim Monson: I am sitting here with somebody, Yvonne Paez, Army veteran, former police officer, and you are prepared for anything.
[101:54] Kim Monson: And that is why having the appropriate business photo for your political career, your business career is so important.
[102:00] Kim Monson: Jansen Photography in Lakewood can help you with that.
[102:03] Kim Monson: But also the things of memories, those fabulous things of portraits of children and portraits of your family and your senior portraits, they can help you with that.
[102:16] Kim Monson: Yvonne Paez and I are on location in Virginia.
[102:21] Kim Monson: We've had great conversations, 303-477-5600.
[102:29] Kim Monson: But Yvonne, you wanted to speak to something that Brian and Longmont had to say.
[102:34] Yvonne Paez: Yes, and just like you said about law enforcement, it's in any profession.
[102:42] Yvonne Paez: There are the good people and there's always a few bad eggs.
[102:44] Yvonne Paez: But we cannot demonize any profession, any group of people, any industry, on the fact that a few of them are not good people.
[102:54] Yvonne Paez: So that's something that we always have to keep in mind.
[102:58] Yvonne Paez: And I really liked when he brought up, and he was, we want to show respect for people who are different than ourselves because the whole life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, If that's the pursuit of the happiness, so be it.
[103:13] Yvonne Paez: But the difference is, is the part about adults versus children.
[103:20] Yvonne Paez: And so if the children are taught or suggested or coerced into these things that people are trying to guide them towards, then that is not the free exercise of your will.
[103:34] Yvonne Paez: That is not the life in pursuit of their happiness.
[103:39] Yvonne Paez: It is the push to the pursuit of somebody else's happiness.
[103:45] Yvonne Paez: And we need to leave the children alone to be children and to have their innocence.
[103:51] Kim Monson: That's a really very good point on that.
[103:54] Kim Monson: And so I wanted to get over here to a few of these text messages.
[103:58] Kim Monson: And again, that text line is 720-605-0647.
[104:01] Kim Monson: And the question that Eric had was, where is Child Protection Services on all this?
[104:08] Kim Monson: And John Galt, one of our listeners, said child protective services would already have stepped in if they were on the side of children.
[104:17] Yvonne Paez: Oh, I thought of that immediately when he made that comment.
[104:19] Yvonne Paez: It's like, because they're all in the same, in the same boat.
[104:23] Kim Monson: And Aaron's story, he goes on to say, Aaron's story is everywhere and all government agencies know it.
[104:30] Kim Monson: They are all in the pocket of this, call it the progressive movement, progressive really to victimize children.
[104:35] Kim Monson: but anyway, only parents can save their kids.
[104:39] Kim Monson: Government has no interest in helping.
[104:41] Kim Monson: Another listener said that child protection services are probably in on the fix, supporting this crazy agenda.
[104:49] Kim Monson: And another question, why isn't anyone asking where this massive surge of transgender has come over the last three years?
[104:59] Kim Monson: People need to think for themselves rationally.
[105:02] Kim Monson: True that, that's why we do the show.
[105:05] Yvonne Paez: You can't go transgender without a lot of medical stuff.
[105:07] Kim Monson: Yeah, Pam Long has written a piece for us.
[105:13] Kim Monson: This was very rare until the last three years when the country went off the rails.
[105:17] Kim Monson: I feel very strongly that we have more people that are mentally ill in this country now than are healthy.
[105:24] Kim Monson: It says I have no idea how to fix it.
[105:26] Kim Monson: Well, one of the things is speaking truth into all of this.
[105:29] Kim Monson: And we talked about this yesterday.
[105:30] Kim Monson: The LA Dodgers, clearly, probably, just like other businesses out there, do not know their audience.
[105:38] Kim Monson: And so they were going to, for Pride, first of all, Pride Month, really?
[105:42] Kim Monson: Pride Month, I don't want to know what people are doing personally.
[105:52] Kim Monson: But what this happened was, now I want to tell you what I do in my bedroom and other places, and I want you to affirm it.
[105:59] Kim Monson: If you don't affirm it, then you're a bigot.
[106:02] Kim Monson: It's like, honest, Pete, how did we get to this?
[106:04] Kim Monson: So anyway, the Dodgers got talked into for doing a pride event, having a drag group do a pride event at one of the games.
[106:15] Kim Monson: Now they are facing backlash on that, and then they removed the drag group, and so the activists are getting busy on that.
[106:30] Kim Monson: I mean, they're out of their minds.
[106:33] Yvonne Paez: Well, you think they would have taken a clue from Budweiser.
[106:36] Yvonne Paez: You know, this Bud is not for you, should be the new slogan.
[106:38] Yvonne Paez: And how about no longer the king of beers, but the queen of beers.
[106:42] Yvonne Paez: But, you know, it's just, and I'm not anti any of this.
[106:47] Yvonne Paez: It's just people need to know their audience.
[106:50] Yvonne Paez: And we market certain things to certain people.
[106:54] Kim Monson: Well, ultimately, though, what transgender, this transgender activist agenda is, is it is, I use the term grooming children by adults, sexual grooming, and somebody said it's sexual recruiting, and that stopped me in my tracks.
[107:09] Kim Monson: But this is from another listener.
[107:11] Kim Monson: It said, transgenderism, look at it from an adult versus children issue.
[107:17] Kim Monson: And I think you just mentioned that.
[107:19] Yvonne Paez: Right, because, again, this is a free country, at least for a little bit longer.
[107:23] Yvonne Paez: and it's about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
[107:26] Yvonne Paez: And my pursuit of happiness is going to be completely different from somebody else's.
[107:30] Yvonne Paez: But let's make those be adult decisions.
[107:33] Yvonne Paez: And the pursuit of happiness should not involve taking children's innocence in childhood away and, like I said, teaching, suggesting, or coercing children to feel like they're part of the out crowd.
[107:52] Yvonne Paez: They're not in the in crowd unless they do this, because that that creates a mentality where they feel pressured into doing something and Mm-hmm, as we are here in Virginia, Monticello.
[108:03] Kim Monson: We have a duty We have a responsibility to protect children and there is Males alpha males to protect and there are mama bears and that's us and we have a duty to protect our children, the children of America, and the children of the world.
[108:22] Kim Monson: And when in Joe Biden's open borders, 85,000 kids have disappeared that have come across the border and they don't know where they are.
[108:33] Kim Monson: There's nothing compassionate about that.
[108:35] Kim Monson: First of all, Yvonne, this has been great fun.
[108:37] Kim Monson: Thank you for including me on this trip.
[108:39] Kim Monson: Monticello yesterday, bucket list, I'll treasure that forever.
[108:44] Yvonne Paez: Oh, and thank you for including me in your show.
[108:46] Yvonne Paez: But we must remember that the key thing here is freedom, and we need to protect people from that invasion of their freedoms.
[108:58] Kim Monson: And tyrants, tyrants victimizing children.
[109:00] Kim Monson: This is something that can get me going.
[109:03] Kim Monson: And I will just mention one other thing.
[109:05] Kim Monson: When we talk about life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, which I have libertarian tendencies as well.
[109:11] Kim Monson: I I try to coin this word conservatarian, but I'm not sure that that really flies.
[109:18] Kim Monson: But I do have libertarian tendencies in live and let live.
[109:23] Kim Monson: I have enough things going on in my own life I have to figure out.
[109:27] Kim Monson: But liberty is the responsible exercise of freedom.
[109:30] Yvonne Paez: And to protect our freedom, I mean, it's going to take courage.
[109:34] Yvonne Paez: It's going to take guts like Aaron Lee has.
[109:42] Yvonne Paez: So you remember they were sacrificing our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
[109:49] Yvonne Paez: And many of them paid for it with their family fortunes and with their lives.
[109:56] Yvonne Paez: And it is so important that we talk to each other.
[110:10] Yvonne Paez: And we're going to need the men for this because the old antiquated statement was, how do you get information out?
[110:15] Yvonne Paez: It's by telegraph, telephone, and tell a woman.
[110:22] Yvonne Paez: Everybody's spreading these ideas so that we can't be bamboozled.
[110:27] Kim Monson: And our quote for the end of the show is Thomas Jefferson.
[110:30] Kim Monson: He said, my affections were first to my own country and then generally for all mankind.
[110:37] Kim Monson: listen to beautiful music, communicate and live so well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way.
[110:42] Kim Monson: God bless you, and God bless America.
