Special District Transparency, Vehicle Kill Switches, and the Left’s Election Infrastructure

On this Tuesday, March 7, 2023 broadcast, Kim Monson examines threats to property rights and personal freedom from multiple angles: special district debt opacity in Colorado counties, the federal mandate for vehicle kill switches by 2026, the World Economic Forum’s 15-minute city agenda, and the left’s dark money infrastructure targeting swing states. Guests Greg Lopez, Lauren Fix, and Corinne Murdock provide expert analysis on these interconnected challenges to liberty.

Vehicle Surveillance and the 2026 Kill Switch Mandate

Start listening at 33:00 – Hour 1

Lauren Fix, the Car Coach, delivers a comprehensive update on automotive industry developments affecting consumer freedom. She reports that Ford has abandoned its planned technology to remotely repossess vehicles after significant public backlash. However, she warns that Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Bill mandates all new vehicles include kill switch technology by 2026, ostensibly to prevent drunk driving but with far broader surveillance implications.

Fix explains that modern vehicles already track drivers’ eyes and will soon listen inside the cabin, with data collected by third parties rather than the federal government directly. She connects this surveillance infrastructure to the World Economic Forum’s 15-minute city agenda, describing plans in Saudi Arabia for high-walled urban zones where residents must request permission to borrow a car to leave. The segment also covers road diets as a political tool, where reducing lanes frustrates citizens and shifts electoral outcomes.

These climate crusaders, their goal is not to put you in an electric car. They want to take all cars away. They don’t want you to do that. It starts off by transitioning you to electric cars that, oh, you can only charge so much. Oh, everything you need is here, so you really don’t need a vehicle. That is the stepping stone they’re using to get people to go to these 15-minute cities.

Special District Debt and Transparency Concerns

Start listening at 18:29 – Hour 1

In the second segment, Greg Lopez, former Mayor of Parker and 2022 gubernatorial candidate, joins Kim to discuss alarming transparency issues with metro districts in Elbert County. Lopez explains how a development originally approved for 900 homes now seeks expansion to 1,400 homes with an additional $90 million in debt that residents will ultimately bear. He describes how these quasi-governmental entities can levy up to 74 additional mills on property taxes without proper notification to affected homeowners.

Lopez emphasizes that developers and their associates control these metro district boards, making decisions that circumvent TABOR protections. He warns that residents purchasing homes often don’t realize the debt burden attached to their property until tax bills arrive. The county commissioners are scheduled to hold a public hearing on the Independence development the following day, Wednesday, March 8th.

But the most important thing is we, the people, should know what is happening to our quality of life, what decisions are being made that are going to impact our livelihood so that we can be informed as to whether we want to live in this community or not.

Dark Money Infrastructure Targeting Arizona

Start listening at 68:10 – Hour 2

Corinne Murdock, reporter with Arizona Free News, presents her team’s extensive research on the left’s coordinated effort to flip Arizona blue. She details how Arabella Advisors, Tides Foundation, George Soros, Tom Steyer, and Michael Bloomberg funnel money through chains of nonprofits and pop-up PACs that appear around election season and disappear afterward. Colorado donor Merle Chambers appears in these networks, contributing more to an Arizona pop-up PAC than to the Arizona Democratic Party itself.

Murdock explains that 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations exploit tax code loopholes to influence elections while billionaire donors receive tax write-offs. Kim draws parallels to Colorado’s transformation, noting that consultant operatives have been taking money from both sides while elections are lost. Murdock offers hope by pointing to Virginia’s recent electoral shifts driven by suburban women voters who reached a breaking point with progressive policies.

These groups, if you look at our diagrams that we have, they have a specific purpose about where their money goes, most of their money goes to. And the flow is consistent. It’s not just one time funds like this is reflecting a pattern of how these funds consistently have operated.
