The Kim Monson Show – June 7, 2024

On June 7, 2024, Yazmin Navarro, Lauren Fix, and Nephi Cole joined the show. Navarro, running for State Board of Education, discusses classroom overcrowding, the failure of per-pupil spending to improve outcomes, and the need to prioritize parental rights and basic academic skills Fix exposes eight automakers sharing customer data with police without warrants and connects the EV push to the World Economic Forum’s. Automotive Industry’s Hidden Data Collection Start listening at 33:55 – Hour 1 Lauren Fix, the Car Coach, sounds the alarm on automakers secretly sharing customer location data with police and insurance companies. Eight major manufacturers, including Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Volkswagen, BMW, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, and Kia, have been handing over driver information without proper subpoenas, violating voluntary privacy agreements they signed in 2014. Fix connects the electric vehicle push to a broader agenda of control, warning that the World Economic Forum’s plan for 15-minute cities aims to restrict mobility and personal freedom. She explains that 12 states are moving to ban gas-powered vehicles, though Virginia has recently backed out under Governor Glenn Youngkin’s leadership. The automotive expert notes that despite massive government subsidies and mandates, electric vehicles are failing in the marketplace with some dealers holding over 400 days of inventory. Tesla, Fix reveals, is the only automaker that notifies customers before sharing their data and requires proper warrants.

So they can control you.” Lauren Fix, Car Coach Reports Fighting for Education and Parental Authority Start listening at 21:33 – Hour 1 Yazmin Navarro, candidate for State Board of Education in Congressional District 8, brings a unique perspective as a daughter of migrant workers who has witnessed education systems across the country. The mother of an eight-year-old works as a substitute teacher and paraeducator, giving her firsthand insight into classroom challenges that policymakers rarely see. Navarro describes witnessing classrooms with 33 students and teachers overwhelmed by non-curriculum mandates while students struggle with basic reading, writing, and arithmetic. Despite Colorado spending over $11,600 per pupil in state and local funding, students are graduating unprepared for college, often requiring remedial classes. She advocates for respecting parents, empowering teachers, expanding school choice, and returning focus to fundamental academic skills. “No one has a right to tell me how to parent my child or what I think is best for my child. Only I and every parent knows their child best. We know what our child needs.” Yazmin Navarro, Candidate for State Board of Education Unconstitutional Tax on a Fundamental Right Start listening at 72:27 – Hour 2 Nephi Cole, Director of State Affairs and Government Relations for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, exposes Colorado’s ballot initiative to impose an excise tax on firearms and ammunition as a poll tax on a constitutional right. The measure, which started at 11% and was reduced to 6.5% to appear more palatable, frames firearms ownership as connected to domestic violence despite...
