Election Integrity and the Power of Repetition

On Monday, December 19, 2022, Kim Monson explored the themes of integrity and repetition with Brad Beck, examined concerning vaccine rule changes with health policy expert Pam Long, and exposed the hidden world of phantom voters with election integrity data analyst Jay Valentine.

Repetition, Restatement, and Remembering

Start listening at 31:34 – Hour 1

Brad Beck, co-founder of Liberty Toastmasters, explores the power of repetition in communication and personal development. Drawing from his experience at a Toastmasters district conference where he heard 1990 World Champion David Brooks articulate that “repetition plus restatement gets people to remember,” Beck examines how cycles permeate everything from nature to human learning.

Beck connects these communication principles to civic engagement, urging listeners to develop their public speaking skills for school board meetings and town halls. He emphasizes that mastery, not perfection, should be the goal, noting that starting any skill today leads to world-class expertise within a decade of consistent practice.

“The only way you can get better at something is to master it. And if you start something today, in 10 years or sooner, you’ll be a world-class expert. It’s just the repetition of doing it and improving and failing and getting better.”

CDPHE Vaccine Rule Changes Threaten Natural Immunity

Start listening at 17:00 – Hour 1

Pam Long, former Army Medical Service Corps captain and West Point graduate, sounds the alarm on proposed CDPHE rule changes that would eliminate recognition of natural immunity for hepatitis B vaccines. With public comment closing December 20th, Long emphasizes the incremental nature of these bureaucratic moves.

Long details how the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has created obstacles to public participation, including online-only Zoom meetings, advance registration requirements, and limited testimony time. She warns that one word change in regulations can alter requirements for everyone at every stage of life.

“But the language is always set up for the next chess move, where there it will include the online students. It will include, you know, potentially the homeschoolers. It will include people who work from home, because they very much want adults on this, in compliance to the adult vaccine schedule.”

Phantom Voters and the Two Sets of Books

Start listening at 69:57 – Hour 2

Jay Valentine, the data expert who built eBay’s fraud detection engine and the TSA no-fly list search technology, exposes how bloated voter rolls enable election manipulation. Valentine’s team has analyzed voter rolls in 20 states using fractal programming technology, finding tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of phantom voters, fake addresses, and people registered at hotels, prisons, and vacant lots.

Valentine explains that voter rolls swell by 5 to 15 percent before elections, then shrink afterward as phantom voters disappear until the next important election. His solution centers on transparency: making voter rolls as visible to citizens as property tax records, which remain pristine because anyone can inspect them.

“If you had visibility to the voter rolls and you were able to see that the house across the street, which is vacant and has been vacant, has 20 people registered there, that just disenfranchised you and 19 other people. You’re going to take action.”

State Farm Insurance and Umbrella Coverage

Start listening at 63:12 – Hour 2

Roger Mangan, State Farm Insurance agent with 46 years of experience, shares an eye-opening story about a skier who caused an accident and faced a lawsuit. The homeowner’s liability coverage stepped in, demonstrating the unexpected ways insurance protects families.

Mangan explains that umbrella policies provide worldwide coverage, including rental car accidents overseas where local insurance minimums may be inadequate. He notes that purchasing the maximum available coverage in any country satisfies umbrella policy requirements, even when foreign limits are lower than domestic standards.

“So if you went on vacation to South America or to Europe and you rented a car and you had an accident, your car insurance does not follow you to outside of the United States.”
