Pursuing Truth in an Age of Falsehood and Equity

On February 17, 2021, Kim Monson opens with Blaise Pascal’s timeless observation that truth has become obscure and falsehood established. In studio, mortgage specialist Lorne Levy of Polygon Financial Group and I’m a Trumpster founder Reggie Carr tackle gender ideology in schools, the dangerous shift from equality to equity, and the path forward for conservative outreach to minority communities.

Gender Identity Confusion in Public Schools

Start listening at 5:12 – Hour 1

Lorne Levy shares a troubling conversation with his 17-year-old son about the distinction schools now draw between sex and gender. His son was marked down on an essay for using “sex” instead of “gender,” reflecting how deeply this ideology has penetrated public education. The discussion expands to include concerns about biological males competing in women’s sports and the erosion of common-sense standards that once protected women and children.

The panel wrestles with how American society arrived at this point. Levy emphasizes that parental involvement remains critical, arguing that families who teach right from wrong at home can maintain stability even without strong religious foundations. Reggie Carr expresses disbelief that such fundamental confusion about biology has become normalized in schools.

“I think even beyond that is parents. There are families that maybe don’t have a lot of that but still are really solid because their kids are being taught at home first, right and wrong, rather than trying to learn it at a school.”

Reverse Mortgages as a Wealth Tool for Seniors

Start listening at 15:34 – Hour 1

Lorne Levy explains how reverse mortgages can help retirees access the equity in their homes without selling. Many seniors were taught that paying off their home was the best investment strategy, but now face limited income in retirement while sitting on substantial home equity. Traditional refinancing requires income qualifications that most retirees cannot meet.

Levy stresses the importance of involving family members in reverse mortgage decisions. Seniors may forget to pay property taxes without an escrow account, potentially leading to foreclosure. The minimum age requirement is 62, and adult children should participate in the process to protect their aging parents.

Equity Versus Equality and the American Dream

Start listening at 21:27 – Hour 1

Kim Monson reads from a piece examining Vice President Kamala Harris’s definition of equity: everyone ending up in the same place regardless of effort. This stands in direct opposition to the American founding principle that all are created equal with equal opportunity to pursue happiness. The Constitution’s standard of equality has been under assault since the Progressive Era, with major expansions under FDR, LBJ, Obama, and now the Biden administration.

Jason McBride of Presidential Wealth Management joins by phone to provide historical context. He traces four major waves of progressive policy: FDR’s New Deal, Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, Barack Obama’s expansion of federal power, and now what he calls the most radical wave yet under Harris-Biden. Kim notes the pattern that separating work from income under the Great Society created lasting damage to American self-reliance.

“I think there’s been several upheavals throughout our history like that. And I think the first one was with FDR and the New Deal. I think Lyndon Johnson was the next wave. I think Barack Obama was the third wave. I just wouldn’t have expected the fourth one to come so quickly and to be even so much more radical than the previous three now that we’ve got Harris-Biden in there.”

Conservative Outreach and the Path Forward

Start listening at 33:26 – Hour 1

Reggie Carr, founder of I’m a Trumpster I’m a Super PAC, describes his journey from the Atlanta entertainment industry to conservative activism. He and his partner Johnny Thomas purchased a bus and traveled to ethnic communities spreading the message of economic freedom. The grassroots effort was funded largely by Kim Monson Show listeners who raised money to wrap the bus in vinyl.

Carr reveals frustrating encounters with Republican establishment figures who told him he made a mistake putting Trump’s face on the bus. Even a high-ranking campaign official for minority outreach criticized the decision. Media producers from ABC and CBS told Carr he should switch to the Democratic side, where the money flows more freely for minority outreach, or else get directly to Trump because the people around him were blocking grassroots efforts.

The episode closes with a call to action: Carr needs to travel to Florida to connect with Trump directly. Kim asks listeners to contribute at imatrumpster.com or imasuperpac.com, with face masks for $50 donations and hats for $100.

“We got to get that base up to like 80, 90, 100 million so we can make a serious difference in this world because I don’t have too much faith in where the direction that this country and the world is going.”
