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

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

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 a...
