Allen Thomas joins Kim to discuss his lastest essay, For Free & Fair Elections. Elections lose their essence if they are not conducted in a free and fair manner, a principle that holds paramount importance, particularly in the current political landscape. In Colorado, grassroots conservatives are at the forefront of advocating for the integrity of elections, striving to ensure they are free and fair. However, their efforts are being undermined by establishment Republicans, creating a rift within the party. It is crucial for this internal conflict among Republicans to cease, paving the way for the essential task of securing elections. The commitment to honest and transparent electoral processes is fundamental to the health of democracy, emphasizing the need for unity in addressing and rectifying the challenges that threaten the core of electoral integrity.Listen to the full interview in the first hour.

Interview with Natalie Menten

Colorado tax watchdog Natalie Menten joins Kim to discuss a Jefferson County initiative that would make residents ineligible for TABOR refunds. In Jefferson County, there’s a looming ballot initiative that aims to persuade residents to relinquish their TABOR refunds, a move that signals a broader objective of extracting more money from taxpayers. The underlying intention behind the push to withdraw from TABOR (Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights) is becoming increasingly clear, highlighting the necessity to safeguard this provision. It’s imperative for the public to stay vigilant and informed about the strategies being employed to undermine TABOR, including the use of misleading language. This awareness is crucial in ensuring that taxpayers are not unwittingly coerced into decisions that compromise their financial rights under the guise of public benefit initiatives.

Kim Monson's Quote of the Day:
February 23, 2024

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

Sun Tzu

Sun Tzu, an ancient Chinese military strategist, philosopher, and author, lived during the late Spring and Autumn period (approximately 5th century BC). He is most renowned for writing “The Art of War,” a treatise on military strategy, tactics, and foresight. This work has transcended its original military context to become a significant resource in various fields, including business, law, and psychology, due to its profound insights into strategy, conflict resolution, and leadership. Sun Tzu’s teachings emphasize the importance of intelligence, adaptability, and the strategic advantage of deception and surprise. He advocated for the concept of winning battles with minimal conflict and the efficient use of resources. Sun Tzu’s influence on both Eastern and Western thought is undeniable, and his strategies continue to be studied and applied in competitive situations worldwide. His legacy endures as a symbol of strategic brilliance and the artful management of complex challenges.
