Welcome. This is Clan Box Countdown to Election Day Podcast.

Candidates, coverage and analysis, you won't get anywhere else. Bringing you new

Intel each week. Let's go. We head now out to the great state of Colorado. We've got a lot of you listening out there.

Our dinner affiliate where we are number one in the entire market. KDFD, Grand Junction, KGLN, KNZZ, Aspen, not a bad place.

KNO FM and Lublin K-Call. All of you, we appreciate you listening in the great state of Colorado.

As I said, and we are joined now by Heidi Gennall, who is making a big run in Colorado to turn that state back into a red state.

We're trying to emphasize and focus on so many of these battleground states and elections that might not be getting enough attention.

Heidi, we know how busy you are running your campaign, but thanks for coming on with us. One of the topics that Buck and I have been talking about a great deal is the rise in crime.

Colorado, particularly the Denver area, is seeing a surge in crime due to the Democrat-failed policies on crime.

What are you seeing there? How would you change it?

Well, thanks, Clay. I so appreciate the time. Love you guys and all you do for our cause and just being a voice for those of us that don't have one.

So, hopefully out in Colorado where our state has taken a terrible turn in the last few years under Jared Polis.

We are number two in fentanyl deaths in the country here. It's just flowing across our border because Polis made us a sanctuary state and he decriminalized fentanyl.

So, that's beating a lot of the crime, but we have all the wrong stats on crime. I mean, you think we were talking about Chicago, we're number one in auto theft, number one in property crime, number one in bank robberies here in Colorado.

So, it's just a hot mess here.

Now, Jared Polis, you mentioned at Hottie, it's Bob, thanks for being with us that he declared a sanctuary city. He made in 2019 possession of up to four grams of fentanyl amistimeter.

I mean, I think that's usually when people think of decriminalization, they think of marijuana decriminalizing fentanyl possession. That seems like something people need to know about.

It's terrible. I mean, we are just losing kids left and right. It's, we call it fentanyl poisoning because it's not really overdose. They don't even know that the Xanax or the Adiroll they're messing around with is laced with it.

I've had so many families come up and talk to me about losing, you know, their loved ones, their kids, their sisters, their brothers.

And fentanyl is just everywhere in Colorado. Law enforcement said, unfortunately, their hands are tied because we're a sanctuary state. They can't coordinate with ice to stop it from flowing across our southern border of Colorado.

And so it's everywhere. And it's fueling a lot of the crime and the homelessness. Homelessness is terrible here. It's taken over Denver, Durango, Grand Junction.

And the governor drives by Denver every day. He lives in Boulder and sees what's going on. Doesn't, hasn't done, you know, a lick to do it to fix it.
