Unleashed with Heidi GanahlEp. 26 - Meeting Homelessness with Hope (Vanessa Rutledge and Springs Rescue Mission)In this week's new episode of Unleashed with Heidi Ganahl, we confront Denver's worsening homelessness crisis head-on. Despite a staggering $274 million investment from 2021 to 2024, the situation has only deteriorated, sparking outrage and demanding accountability. This funding has largely been channeled into emergency shelter beds and temporary transition services, strategies that have proven insufficient in addressing the complexities of homelessness. As a result, Denver has seen the largest increase in homeless populations compared to other metro areas since 2018, indicating that these efforts have fallen short of their goals.
This episode will not shy away from the controversy.

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’ grow...2023-11-0433 minUnleashed with Heidi GanahlEp. 20 - Faith to Freedom: Speaking Truth and Voting Your ValuesIn this episode of Unleashed, Heidi Ganahl addresses the importance of speaking truth in a world where certain topics are deemed uncomfortable, especially in politics and culture.

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.

A group of four wealthy progressive donors disregarded the state Democratic establishment and established a privately funded political infrastructure. For Part 2 of Colorado Politics Exposed, Heidi does a deep dive on the well-oiled (and well-funded) Democrat machine here in Colorado and how it’s become a potential model for political change nationwide. We’re looking at the consultants, the non-profits, the fake media, and so much more.
