Election Integrity Exposed and Food Security Under Assault

On the February 1, 2023 broadcast, Kim Monson examines threats to election integrity and food security with two expert guests. Lisa Bennett exposes disturbing video evidence of ballot shredding in Carbon County, Montana, while sixth-generation farmer Trent Loos separates fact from fiction on egg shortages and reveals the assault on American agriculture and energy independence.

Food Security and the Egg Shortage Reality

Start listening at 72:32 – Hour 2

In this segment, Trent Loos joins Kim to address widespread concerns about egg shortages and attacks on American food production. The sixth-generation Nebraska farmer and rancher brings his extensive agricultural knowledge to separate facts from fear-mongering narratives circulating in media.

Loos shares direct research from chicken owners across the country, noting that not a single person has reported unusual production drops. He explains that while egg supply is genuinely reduced, with inventory dropping from 327 million to 312 million laying hens due to avian influenza euthanizations affecting 38 million birds, some viral claims about chickens mysteriously stopping production due to feed additives lack credible evidence. He emphasizes the importance of citizens doing their own research rather than accepting sensational claims at face value.

The discussion expands to energy security, with Loos highlighting the Biden administration’s decision to block cobalt and nickel mining on 225,000 acres of Minnesota’s iron range while simultaneously supporting Chinese mining operations in the Congo that employ 40,000 children in slave labor. He connects food, energy, and national security as interrelated systems under coordinated assault, noting that nutrient-dense foods like eggs, meat, and milk have been demonized since 1977 despite their essential health benefits including iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and choline for brain development.

“That’s why we’ve been demonized. That’s why these products have been demonized. They do not want us to be healthy.”

Ballot Shredding Evidence in Montana

Start listening at 29:50 – Hour 1

In this segment, Lisa Bennett joins Kim to discuss alarming video evidence from Carbon County, Montana showing election officials shredding what appear to be ballots on election night. Bennett details how privacy screens placed over security cameras failed to fully obscure the activity, leaving a one-inch margin that captured the incident.

Bennett explains the technical details of what the video reveals: tri-folded papers of ballot-weight stock with visible timing marks being fed through a shredder in batches of four to ten sheets at a time. She notes that federal law requires all election materials to be retained for 22 months, and county officials had previously stated in a January 4th meeting that nothing is shredded. The county attorney attempted to explain the shredding as UOCAVA (overseas military) ballot copies, but Bennett points out this explanation contradicts officials’ own statements about only processing six such ballots that night, and those would not have been tri-folded.

The discussion also covers poll watcher intimidation, with Bennett describing how her husband was threatened with arrest simply for asking basic questions like which precinct was being counted. She emphasizes that current election laws often work against citizens seeking transparency, with penalties for destroying election materials capped at just a $1,000 fine, while those questioning the process face potential felony charges for disrupting elections.

“We need to wake up that our elected officials and our enforcement, our law enforcement officials are not necessarily on our side.”
