  • Ep. 8 - Elections Have Consequences: The Legislative Session From Hell (Brandi Bradley, Roger Hudson)

    Elections have consequences, boy did we get a lesson in that over the last few months. Colorado’s General Assembly, which is the state Senate and state House combined, meets annually, beginning in January and continuing for 120 days. There were over 600 bills introduced at the Capitol this year, 220 of them making it through the General Assembly to Jared Polis now waiting on his desk for sign-off. This hot mess of a legislative session will only drive Colorado more into the ground. Heidi interviews state representative Brandi Bradley and Deputy Chief of Staff for the House GOP Roger Hudson.

    Part 1 (0:00-20:27): Heidi exposes her list of the most terrible bills that passed during, what she is calling, “the Session from Hell”. She talks about:

    • The WINS from this year’s General Assembly — including Kayden’s Law, an effort through her charity Mom’s Fight Back focused on family court reform, indecent exposure going from a misdemeanor to a felony, and Polis’ landmark housing bill being shut down.
    • 18 of the WORST bills passed through this session, broken down into housing, property tax and the elimination of TABOR, kids, abortion, crime and drugs, and lastly, guns.
    • Why elections MATTER and how the legislature’s supermajority combined with a governor who drives their agenda is putting government takeover by the Democrat party in Colorado in overdrive.

      Part 2 (20:27-31:44): State Representative (House District 39) Brandi Bradley shares her unique experience being one of 19 Republicans in the House of Representatives during her first-ever Colorado General Assembly. She discusses:

      • The frustration she felt representing 46% of the population yet still feeling silenced, and the unfortunate reality that most Dems are told how to vote, rather than listening to their constituents. 
      • How bills presented this session did not represent the reality of issues everyday Coloradans face today.
      • The surprising attacks on landlords and employers, as well as the most controversial bills for constituents — Polis’ land use bill and wolves.

        • The shocking lack of focus on issues related to our kids, especially with the record number of women and moms in the House of Representatives. 
        • The importance of paying attention to local issues, electing the right local officials, and doing a better job at anticipating what bills will be brought to the table during legislative sessions.

          We are on the precipice of the government taking complete control of our kid's hearts, minds, and futures. And if they succeed, it will leave scars that they may never heal from.

            • How this harmful narrative is being pushed onto kids in a subtle, innocent way, and how we can address issues around self-identity in ways that don’t involve life-altering surgery.
            • How Oli found peace through faith, empowering him to detransition and become an outspoken activist for children and women's rights.
            • His new role as a spokesperson for Caitlyn Jenner’s new PAC, Fairness First, that advocates for parental rights in light of radical gender ideology infiltrating our children in school - especially in sports and the classroom.

            • Ep. 5 - Polis Says, No White Picket Fence for You (Mayor of Centennial Stephanie Piko on SB 23-213)

              A new bill introduced by Governor Jared Polis is attempting to destroy the dream of a white picket fence here in Colorado. Even with new amendments, SB 23-213 jeopardizes citizen-led local government by displacing local zoning rules in favor of a statewide mandate to incorporate "affordable" housing everywhere. Heidi discusses the implications this “one-size-fits-all” approach would have on property value and quality of life, and also interviews the Mayor of Centennial Stephanie Piko who is actively fighting against this bill.

              *Please note that this bill is RAPIDLY changing so some of the specific information discussed may not be accurate. Heidi includes a segment at the end that discusses the amendments approved as of Tuesday evening (4/18/23) and who you should contact to share your concerns. That being said, it’s important that we recognize what Polis and the Dems are *trying* to accomplish here in Colorado. Know that they were WILLING to go this far.

              • Why this bill is a slap in the face to local government officials and takes the voice away from Coloradans.
              • How the state ITSELF is the main culprit when it comes to the increasing cost of homeownership in Colorado with its long list of inflationary housing regulations, and why this bill would only make regulatory costs worst for the consumer.
              • The authoritarian idea of 15-minute cities and how Polis is using this "green utopia" as a golden ticket to his presidential run.

                • What people can do to fight against SB 23-213. *As of 4/20/23, please contact senators on the Appropriations Committee listed here.

                                • Introducing... Unleashed with Heidi Ganahl: Truth. Lies. Politics.

                                  From my “ruff” days building the country’s largest dog franchise to my heated run for Governor of Colorado in 2022, I have been on the frontlines of freedom for over 10 years. It’s time to UNLEASH the truth... and I'm ready to talk.

                                  On the campaign trail, I learned most folks in Colorado have no idea who the good guys or the bad guys are in politics. They know something is wrong with our state, but they're unsure how to tackle it. They told me they don't trust the media, the politicians, or the power players to tell the truth. They've given up.


                                  I'm launching an initiative using what I learned behind the scenes to help inform, educate, and empower the people of Colorado, so they know the TRUTH - exactly who's good, who's bad, what they can do about it, and how to be effective. Let’s start by exposing what is REALLY going on behind the curtain in Colorado, who is helping, and who is getting in our way. This is so Colorado voters are empowered and informed because that's the only way we're going to change the direction of our state. We are suffering from misinformation, led by bad actors – on both sides politically.

                                  Join me every Thursday.

                                  The truth UNLEASHED.

                                  The lies EXPOSED.

                                  Let’s play the REAL game of politics. And win.

                                  Can you handle the truth?
