Exposing DEI’s Marxist Roots in the Military

On May 16, 2025, Kim Monson examines the forces reshaping American institutions, from the deliberate infiltration of Marxist ideology in the military to runaway government debt threatening local taxpayers. General Joe Arbuckle reveals how DEI programs undermined military readiness, Jason Bailey sounds the alarm on Denver’s $800 million debt proposal, Lauren Fix celebrates congressional action against California’s EV mandates, and Teddy Collins rallies Second Amendment defenders for the 2026 elections. Denver’s Debt Crisis: Taxpayers on the Hook for $1.3 Billion Start listening at 18:43 – Hour 1 Jason Bailey, founder of Citizens for No New Debt, breaks down the mathematics of municipal debt that politicians conveniently ignore. After 14 years running a restaurant in Denver’s Golden Triangle neighborhood, Bailey watched the city council unanimously rubber-stamp debt proposal after debt proposal. His organization now fights Mayor Mike Johnston’s latest scheme: an $800 million bond measure heading to the November ballot. Bailey calculates the true cost to taxpayers extends far beyond the principal. When Denver Public Schools borrowed $975 million last November, the amortization schedule revealed a staggering $2.2 billion in total repayments. Two days after voters approved that bond, DPS announced school closures. Bailey argues the debt-driven approach systematically redirects tax revenue to the banking system while public services deteriorate. “You know, once they use debt, they’re spending twice as much money.” Jason Bailey, Founder, Citizens for No New Debt Congress Takes Aim at California’s EV Mandate Start listening at 32:30 – Hour 1 Lauren Fix, automotive analyst and host of Car Coach Reports, reports on a major congressional victory against state-level EV mandates. The House passed a bipartisan resolution stripping California’s authority to dictate vehicle standards for other states, with 246 Republicans and numerous Democrats voting in favor. The Senate is expected to vote next week. Fix explains the constitutional stakes: one state cannot force 49 others to adopt its vehicle policies. The California Air Resources Board had leveraged a Clean Air Act carve-out to export its 2035 EV mandate to 17 states. Vermont and Delaware recently withdrew, citing inadequate charging infrastructure and consumer resistance. Fix notes that only 8% of total vehicle sales are electric, making a 100% mandate unrealistic. She also debunks media hit pieces claiming Tesla receives special tariff treatment. Any manufacturer meeting 85% domestic content qualifies for tariff exemptions. Tesla happens to be the only automaker currently meeting that threshold because it never offshored production to the degree that Ford, GM, and Stellantis did under previous administrations. “You cannot have one state tell the other 49 states what to do. It would be like California saying you can only have green juice, you can’t have orange juice.” Lauren Fix, Automotive Analyst, Car Coach Reports Second Amendment Under Siege in Colorado Start listening at 64:03 – Hour 2 Teddy Collins of the Second Syndicate warns that Colorado’s gun owners face another hostile legislative session before the critical 2026 elections. After three failed attempts at an assault weapons ban, Democrats changed tactics with SB 25-003, a semi-automatic ban using modified language to bypass previous objections. The law takes effect September 2026, con...
