Georgia’s Political Landscape and Colorado’s Property Tax Fight

On this Thursday broadcast, Kim Monson explores two critical battlefronts in the fight for American liberty. Georgia talk radio host Martha Zoller provides insider analysis on the potential Trump indictments and the state of the Georgia GOP, while Colorado watchdogs Natalie Menten and Brandon Wark break down the deceptive property tax measure Proposition HH and arm citizens with tools to fight back at the local level. Georgia Politics and the Trump Indictment Start listening at 25:51 – Hour 1 Martha Zoller, Talkers Magazine’s 2023 Woman of the Year and host of a talk show on WDUN in Gainesville, Georgia, breaks down the political landscape of the Peach State. With roughly 5.5 million people in metro Atlanta and another 5.5 million in the rest of the state, Georgia’s elections hinge on suburban and exurban women who swing between parties each cycle. Zoller explains how 450,000 Republicans who voted in the 2020 general election stayed home during the Senate runoffs after former President Trump’s rallies emphasized doubts about vote counting. This resulted in two Democratic senators in an otherwise Republican-controlled state. She draws attention to the Fulton County investigation and the controversial phone call between Trump and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, arguing that while the call may have been unwise, she questions whether it rises to criminality. The discussion turns to Jack Smith’s federal case, which Zoller characterizes as double jeopardy since Trump was already impeached and acquitted by the Senate on similar grounds. Even liberal lawyers on her show agree with this assessment, she notes. When it comes to Stacey Abrams, Zoller observes that despite never conceding the 2018 gubernatorial race, Abrams has not won an election in ten years and lacks credibility within Georgia while commanding high speaking fees elsewhere. “What Jack Smith is doing, and I’ve had liberal lawyers on my show say this as well as conservative lawyers say this, what Jack Smith is doing is double jeopardy. Everything that is in his case, and I don’t know why President Trump, with all the money he’s spending on these lawyers, that they haven’t made this point.” Martha Zoller, Talk Radio Host, WDUN Colorado Real Estate Market Update Start listening at 64:45 – Hour 2 Karen Levine, award-winning Remax Alliance realtor, reports that homes are staying on the market twice as long as last summer, yet inventory remains 28% lower than the previous year. Sales are down approximately 20%, largely attributable to increased interest rates affecting affordability. Average and median prices have softened by two to four percent. Despite these challenges, demand for homeownership persists. Levine highlights opportunities for first-time buyers, including a townhome in Arvada priced under $400,000. She also notes new construction incentives from builders in outlying areas such as North Thornton, Brighton, and the Parker-Castle Rock corridor, emphasizing the importance of buyer representation when exploring new builds. “Homes are staying on the market twice as long as they were last summer. So those signs are staying around a little bit longer, but inventory is 28% less than it was last year.” Karen Levine, Realtor, Remax Alliance Property Taxes and the Proposition HH Deception Start listening at 72:37 – Hour 2 Natalie Menten of Colorado Engaged and director of the TABOR Foundation sounds the alarm on Propo...
