- Ep. 23 - New Year, New Healthcare: Ditching the Bureaucratic Model in 2024 (Dr. Kelly Shockley and Dr. John Dygert)
In the midst of the pandemic, Colorado's legislature pushed through a little talked-about state-controlled plan that would majorly impact the delivery of healthcare services in Colorado. Why are some elected officials so eager to change things and put the government in charge?
Dr. Kelly Shockley and Dr. John Dygert joined me on Unleashed this week to discuss the problems with our current system and how they’re innovating a new healthcare future in our state.
The Truth Unleashed: Governor Polis and the Democratic leadership here in Colorado are on a mission to lead our state towards universal healthcare, or socialized medicine, that jeopardizes medical miracles with bureaucratic barriers and false promises for affordability.
The Lies Exposed: What’s so bad about the Colorado Affordable Health Care Option? Let’s take a look…- With unintended consequences to quality and access, it may force hospitals to eliminate some critical care functions.
- Health insurance premiums in the individual market went up 10% during the law's first year (2023) and are expected to rise again next year, contrary to promises of affordability.
- Insurers are leaving the exchange market, reducing options for Coloradans, despite its promises of accessibility.
- So far, only one-third of the individual plans and 80% of Colorado Option plans on the small employer’s market are hitting the state's targets.
- Government control in healthcare could jeopardize the existing high-quality care and innovation in Colorado's healthcare system.
- Colorado Democrats have even taken a unique step by providing state subsidies to 11,000 undocumented immigrants for their healthcare needs.
In contrast, a free-market approach to healthcare, combined with a direct primary care model, can offer a viable solution to our healthcare challenges. Here's how I propose we fix healthcare in Colorado:
- Embrace free-market principles and encourage competition among healthcare providers, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies
- Grow a Direct Primary Care Model where patients pay a monthly subscription directly to their primary care physician
- Remove barriers to entry for healthcare providers
- Promote price transparency to empower patients to make informed decisions about their care
- Educate the public about their rights and options in a free-market healthcare system
- Establish a non-governmental group responsible for monitoring the impact of these changes
- Allow medical professionals to keep achieving remarkable results without red tape, overregulation, and government control
How can we take action?- Seek Alternative Health Care Options: Consider exploring healthcare options outside the traditional medical system, such as chiropractic care like Dr. Shockley, concierge medical services like Dr. Dygert, or functional/integrative medicine that focuses on personalized, root-cause treatment.
- Advocate for Personal Health Choices: Encourage discussions, advocate for healthcare choices that align with personal values and principles, and seek healthcare providers who respect and accommodate these preferences.
- Adopt Healthier Lifestyle Practices: The current system thrives on us already being sick, so the best thing you can do for yourself and your family is to take control of your health! Implement healthier lifestyle choices, particularly in diet and exercise, and focus on teaching these values to your kids to instill healthy habits from a young age.

1 hr 10 min - Ep. 22 - Colorado Crime & Safety: How Bad Is It REALLY? (Former ICE Director John Fabbricatore)
How real are the statistics about Colorado’s increasing crime rates?
John Fabbricatore joins me on Unleashed this week to discuss the implications of bad immigration policy here in Colorado that is leading to terrifying statistics like these. And yes, the stats are REAL and as bad as they let off.
The Truth Unleashed: Polis’ open border and sanctuary state policies are the major contributing factors to our state’s dire reality when it comes to crime and safety.
What’s happening because of Colorado's sanctuary state policy?
- We are one of the top cartel activity states in the country. They come here because of our sanctuary state status. Fentanyl is getting worse. Trafficking is a huge issue and Colorado is a hub for it.
- Why? They know they’ll stay out of trouble because of our soft-on-crime policies. They know the state’s not going to report them to ICE. And logistically/geographically, Colorado is an ideal hub for drugs and trafficking with access to the southern border by I-25 and easy routes east/west through I-70.
- Another big reason illegal immigrants come to Colorado is they know they can get a driver's license within a week of being in Denver. They use our resources and our taxpayer money, then take that DL elsewhere.
The Lies Exposed: Have Democrats taken it too far? Now that they’ve seen the dark side of the open border, are they just too afraid to go back on their promises and admit they were wrong? Here are some lies John exposed during the episode…
- ICE is not the bad guy. They are not dragging people out of restaurants or taking people from their job sites. They are busting drug dealers, cartels, and traffickers to keep us safe.
- We are not anti-immigration. We are anti-ILLEGAL immigration. Jobs, resources, and taxpayer dollars should be reserved for LEGAL immigrants.
How can we take action?
- Get rid of sanctuary state policy so we can collaborate with federal agencies like ICE to combat crime.
- Teach our children vigilance, confidence, and awareness.
- Protect and support our Second Amendment.

31 min - Ep. 21 - The Big Lie: Prop HH, Anti-Trust & Govt. Growth (Pete Sepp with National Taxpayers Union)
This week, we're diving headfirst into a hot-button issue right here in Colorado: Proposition HH. This ballot measure, an initiative being heavily pushed by Governor Jared Polis and his dark money groups, aims to destroy the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) - one of the most important pieces of legislation we’ve had in Colorado history - by eliminating the surplus payments back to taxpayers OVER TIME. While Prop HH claims to lower property tax in the short term, the long-term effect will cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars in taxes. Heidi explains the repercussions of Jared Polis’ growth of government during his tenure, uncovering some of his contradicting stances on taxes during the campaign, as well as his reckless spending and future government aspirations.
Heidi interviews Pete Sepp from the National Taxpayers Union on the importance of TABOR and why we must protect it at all costs, not just for Colorado, but for our nation. They also discuss Attorney General Phil Weiser’s involvement in an alarming anti-trust lawsuit against Google and why it should be a concern for taxpayers.
Remember to VOTE NO on Prop HH if you want to hold the government accountable for their overspending! If you have questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected] or reach out to your local legislators.

17 min - Ep. 19 - Election Validity: How to Actually Clean Up Our Voter Rolls (Marly Hornik, NY Citizen’s Audit)
In this episode of Unleashed, Heidi interviews Marly Hornik who went from homeschooling her kids in the woods for 15 years to now being the Director of the New York Citizen's Audit. She is leading an effort to ensure election validity (not just integrity) based on their audit of the 2022 election results, ultimately aiming to ensure valid elections before the 2024 election cycle.
Marly discusses the four critical areas they've investigated: the accuracy of voter rolls, whether votes were counted from eligible voters, if the number of votes counted matches the number of voters who voted, and the error rate allowed for federal elections. Tune in to this episode to discover how citizens can get involved in the fight for election validity and uphold the constitutional right to government by consent.

On today’s bonus episode, Heidi interviews Lance Williams from Turning Point USA Faith. Lance combines his love for ministry and government by working with churches to help educate, equip, mobilize, and engage their congregations about politics and stand up for truth in the public square. Lance shares his intense story of finding faith (here in Colorado at Charis Bible College in Woodland Park) after years of drug addiction and how his journey has led him to this very position at TPUSA. Heidi and Lance discuss tactical ways to turn faith into inspired civic action and why it’s so important for people of faith to vote their values at the ballot boxes.

14 min - BONUS EPISODE: Relationship Education OVER Sex-Ed (Joneen Mackenzie from My Relationship Center)
This week, we’re bringing you another bonus episode recorded during the Western Conservative Summit! Joneen Mackenzie has joined forces with the University of Denver and Harvard’s Human Flourishing Project to create a kid-informed, evidence-based, activity-based, and heart-based curriculum around relationships with the intention to replace sex education with relationship education. Data tells us that people are 90% more likely to avoid poverty if they wait to have a baby after marriage. One way to make sure our kids fall into this statistic is by teaching them the ins and outs of healthy relationships.

10 min - Ep. 18 – Co-Parenting with Colorado: A War on Kids' Healthcare (Holly Calvert)
America’s woke indoctrination is happening everywhere: in education, healthcare, politics, and in the private sector. Today, we’ll focus on how our kids’ healthcare has been weaponized in this culture war.
When Heidi’s daughter turned 14 a couple weeks ago, she received an email from her pediatric office that she was not allowed to see her medical records anymore, because of her age – except for the bill, of course. When she called them to ask why they were doing this – they blamed it on federal HIPAA law. BUT there is no law that requires them to cut parents out at age 14, they were lying. Today’s episode unpacks the MANY ways Colorado politicians are infiltrating healthcare to indoctrinate our kids, including education and fluffy legislation. Heidi also interviews Holly Calvert, a Colorado mom fighting for health freedom and parental rights.
CLICK HERE for a list of questions to ask your schools. Please share and encourage other parents to join you in asking these hard questions.

45 min - Ep. 17 - Living in a Barbie World: Woke or Wonderful?
In this week’s episode of Unleashed, Heidi delves into the world of womanhood through the lens of two iconic figures - Barbie and Taylor Swift. While most would jump to the conclusion these two push a very progressive agenda, Heidi takes a different stance and discusses the real struggles women face today and how we can use them to bridge the political or ideological gaps we have created since the original Women’s Rights Movement.
Heidi takes us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, recounting her childhood days and the impact her favorite toy, Barbie, had on shaping her dreams and ambitions. She shares her honest thoughts on the new live-action Barbie film, sharing some possibly controversial opinions about themes of feminism and gender roles throughout the movie. She then recounts her experience taking her three daughters to Taylor Swift the same week, recognizing the powerful influence figures like Swift can not just have on generations of young women, but on our economy and society.
