On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Kim Monson examines critical threats to citizen self-governance, from election integrity concerns in Colorado to government land grabs affecting communities across the state. Harry Haury of Unite for Freedom provides an update on the Colorado election lawsuit, while Mike Rawluk and Adrian Waller expose fast-tracked housing developments bypassing local control. Trent Loos, a sixth-generation Nebraska farmer, discusses federal land policy and agricultural trade. State Land Swaps and Fast-Tracked Housing Threaten Local Communities Start listening at 14:28 – Hour 1 Mike Rawluk exposes how the Colorado state government is using a “location and extent” process to fast-track an eight-story housing development on land obtained through a swap with Jefferson County Open Space.

Adrian Waller, board president of Pleasant View Metro District, describes how his community of 2,200 homes in unincorporated Jefferson County was blindsided by the change.

Using licensed investigators and commercially available databases, the study found significant issues with voter identity verification. Nearly 5% of voters could not be verified through standard identity checks, calling into question any election result with a margin of victory less than that percentage. “But they aren’t allowed to give you a ballot unless they know who you are.” Harry Haury, Chairman, Unite for Freedom AI Data Centers Strain Water Resources and Federal Land Policy Threatens Farmers Start listening at 73:34 – Hour 2 Trent Loos, a sixth-generation Nebraska farmer and rancher, raises alarms about AI data center water consumption and federal government land control.
