Organized Protests and the Fight for Truth in a Season of Reformation

On June 10, 2025, Kim Monson tackled the well-organized protest movement sweeping the nation, explored how fiction can defend faith, and heard from a military veteran about the dangers of civil unrest. Former State Senator Kevin Lundberg, author Ann Roecker, and Army veteran Yvonne Paez joined the conversation on a day marked by urgent warnings about upcoming demonstrations.

Organized Protests and the Color Revolution Threat

Start listening at 15:39 – Hour 1

Kevin Lundberg warns that the upcoming “No Kings” protests scheduled for June 14th represent something far more dangerous than mere demonstrations. The former state senator draws parallels to the 2020 Capitol protests in Colorado, recounting how an organizer told him directly that if their demands were not met, they would “burn the place down.” Lundberg argues these movements are coordinated by international actors seeking to destabilize America.

The conversation turns to the Medicaid debate as Lundberg explains how third-party payer systems have distorted healthcare pricing. He notes that hospital bills often reflect prices ten times what insurance companies actually reimburse, creating an unsustainable system. The discussion highlights how government intervention, rather than solving problems, has created a pricing crisis that leaves ordinary citizens unable to afford healthcare.

“Don’t get sucked into this. Don’t even go down to observe these things because that just ramps up everything. And this is really dangerous stuff. This stuff can blow up into a real riot where people are killed very easily.”

Apologetics Fiction: Smuggling Truth Across Enemy Lines

Start listening at 71:44 – Hour 2

Ann Roecker introduces her new book, The Revelation of Emery Audubon, which falls into the emerging genre of apologetics fiction. The story follows a student at a prestigious but corrupt university who discovers the book of Revelation and sparks a reformation movement. Roecker explains that unlike many young adult protagonists, Emery has everything going for her from a worldly perspective but lacks the truth about God.

Roecker addresses the exodus of young people from faith, noting that studies showed kids were leaving the church because their questions about God were not being answered. She emphasizes that Christianity is not just a feel-good experience but equips believers for victory and connects them to a coalition fighting for truth in the public square. The conversation turns to the transgender agenda in schools, with Roecker sharing stories of parents who found creative ways to push back against ideological capture.

“Apologetics fiction is a trending genre I’m really excited about. It entertains readers like any good story, but it also seeks to answer readers’ questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, and life. I like to say that apologetics fiction smuggles God’s truth across enemy lines using story as a cover.”

Ann Roecker, author of The Revelation of Emery Audubon

A Law Enforcement Perspective on Civil Unrest

Start listening at 99:53 – Hour 2

Yvonne Paez, an Army veteran and former law enforcement officer who grew up in Mexico, provides a unique perspective on the Los Angeles unrest. She notes the irony that during her 14 years living in Mexico, it never occurred to her to fly a U.S. flag or start a riot. Paez characterizes the current demonstrations as not protests but riots, organized by “rent-a-mob” fire starters paid by leftist groups.

Drawing on her National Guard experience, Paez explains that when governors fail to protect their states, federal intervention becomes necessary, particularly when the state sits on an international border. She delivers a direct message to Colorado leaders: “Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Do your job and direct law enforcement to do theirs.” Her advice to citizens is clear: stay away from these events entirely to avoid becoming pawns in a larger game.

“These are not protests. So there’s no need for a counter-protest, these are riots. And they are a rent-a-mob, and they are fire starters paid for by leftist communists or just whatever people that are trying to start things. And do not give them the attention that they’re bucking for.”

Products Liability and Corporate Accountability

Start listening at 60:48 – Hour 2

Jon Boesen discusses how his firm takes on big pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers of defective products. He cites examples including Ozempic, Wegovy, Roundup, and talcum powder products that have caused harm to consumers. Boesen explains that manufacturers often conduct risk-benefit analyses, calculating how much money they can make before acknowledging problems with their products.

The conversation addresses government accountability for decisions made during the COVID pandemic, including the granting of immunity to pharmaceutical companies with histories of wrongdoing. Boesen suggests that as more information becomes public about what happened during that time, there will be increased scrutiny of government’s role in allowing harm to occur.

“They put money before people, and it is something that we as a group of law firms do our damnedest best to tackle. So they’re the toughest cases because they will spend huge amounts of money to hide the truth.”
