POPULARITY
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Republicans are losing municipal races across the country as Donald Trump continues to destroy the party, and one of those races is in what at least used to be Colorado's conservative stronghold. Friend of the pod, Senator John Hickenlooper, seems to share our ranking for our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado -- and he has a banger OpEd in the Grand Junction Sentinel this week to prove it. Scott “There is No" Bottoms, who is either our 18th or 19th favorite Republican in the Colorado House, gives up the game on GOP obstruction. And someone with a podcast less popular than ours is lying to his audience, himself, or more likely both. But first...perhaps we could call this his exit interview...Alan Salazar, Chief of Staff to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and the godfather of top Democratic Staff in Colorado comes back on the pod to talk all things local government -- including the final days of the race for Denver Mayor.
THE MAYOR JOINS ME AT 1 And though his third term is winding down he is dealing with an influx of illegal immigrants that have decided Denver is a welcoming city so they're coming. We will also discuss the possibility of a third championship coming to Denver during his tenure as Mayor as the Nuggets are tearing it up in the NBA playoffs. We will discuss whether or not he regrets declaring Denver open for immigrants, as he did in this video. I started it at the important part.
A soggy Thursday - and a white hot topic: Denver Mayor Michael Hancock pleads with residents and the feds and whines about the cost of illegals he's welcomed. Word some city workers were encouraged to work from home today - their workplaces turned into "overflow shelter accommodations." Steffan is off until Tuesday - so we do our film review a day early: "Chinatown" from 1974. Clips/trivia. Steffan gives it a solid 8 nose bandages out of 10.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Biden and former President Donald Trump could face off again in 2024. The Supreme Court is set to rule on an abortion pill case that may impact abortion access and electoral politics across the country. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock joins Chuck Todd on set.
MAYOR MICHAEL HANCOCK JOINS ME AT 1 And we're going to do two things. First, we're going to get the bottom of the Denver Public Schools kerfuffle where it seems the Superintendent, who couldn't be bothered to show up at a meeting with the City Council yesterday, said that the Mayor's office threatened to issue an Executive Order about School Resource Officers. The Mayor says that didn't happen. Then we're going to do a retrospective of the Mayor's time in office. It's going to be a good one!
THE MAYOR IS ALMOST OUT OF A JOB And there are a ton of people running to succeed him. I'm not going to ask him who he likes as a successor (that would be improper for him and I'm not doing that) but we are going to talk about their various solutions to the issues he's been trying to deal with as Mayor. He's on at 1.
We're talking about the National Mayor's Association meeting he just attended, migrants coming to Denver and whether or not our issued downtown are affecting our convention biz. I will also ask him about this story showing how slowly downtown is recovering.
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, your hosts Jason Bane and Ian Silverii talk with legendary Colorado politico Alan Salazar and coin a new term from his vast experience. Currently serving as Chief of Staff to Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Salazar has been a top adviser to Congressmen, Senators, Governors, and even Presidents -- for familiar names such as Roy Romer, Mark Udall, John Hickenlooper, and Bill Clinton. We discuss the traits that these successful politicians all have in common (other than hiring Alan Salazar). Later, Jason and Ian also dive into the debt ceiling and try to understand why Colorado Republican lawmakers refused to co-sponsor a resolution honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hour 2: Denver Mayor Michael Hancock requires proof of vaccination to get $400 – unless you have an exemption. Bernie Sanders and the pricey infrastructure bill. Politicians don't care if they waste taxpayers money. They use stimulus checks to make up for destroying businesses.
Susan Kochevar, owner of the 88 Drive-In Theatre, discusses current events with Kim and Producer Steve. Susan has not had a problem with staffing but she is having a difficult time procuring items for her concession stand due to shutdowns and products being in a warehouse but no one to get them out. LEAP, Learning Enrichment and Academic Progress Program, would be governed by an unelected, unaccountable Authority Board. We must ask the questions why endorse, who is behind it, and follow the money. Patti Kurgan's op-eds answer many of these questions at kimmonson.com. LEAP will also “protect” the marijuana black market with LEAP tax increases starting at 3% and potentially rising to 15%. Increased retail marijuana taxes do not necessarily equate to people buying less marijuana. It may equate to people buying less legal marijuana. Lone Tree's potential proposed 66% sales tax increase will disincentivize people who used to make purchases in Lone Tree because of the lower sales tax rate. See Kim's op-ed. America's Veterans Stories features Retired Army Major General Joe Arbuckle this Sunday at 3pm and 10pm on KLZ 560 AM and KLZ 100.7 FM. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock mandates vaccinations to all city employees and any workers in hospitals, nursing homes, homeless shelters, correctional workers and schools even though this may cause some to lose their jobs. This is in opposition to legislation passed and signed by Governor Polis in May, 2021. Senate Bill 21-142 states in Section1(e): Every person has a right to privacy with respect to personal health decisions, free from coercion or interference from the government. States are mandating masks and vaccinations (through coercion) while at the same time ignoring illegals at the southern border coming in with the COVID-19/Wuhan-China virus. These illegals are then being dispersed across the country. Rent moratoriums are an assault on private property rights and turns tenants against the owners. The World Economic Forum agenda includes no ownership of property by 2030. This is achieved by destroying ownership through rules, regulations, taxes and fees. Kimberlee Bell, owner of Kunjani Coffee in Parker, highlights events at the coffee house. This Saturday, August 7th, there will be a Back to School BBQ. Noon-3. August 13th from 4-9pm will be wine and cheese tasting. Every Thursday-Saturday there is live music from 6-8pm. Stop by for coffee, wine or friendship. Dr. James Lyons-Weiler, founder of IPAK-Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge (IPAK.com), talks with Kim and Susan regarding the COVID-19/Wuhan-China experimental drug vaccine. A study just came out of Massachusetts where 78% of the people infected with COVID-19 were vaccinated and 6.8% of those infected were hospitalized, which is higher than the peak as we went into lockdown. This vaccination has 0% efficacy. Although hard to do, people must leave their jobs and not be coerced into getting the vaccination. Kim interjects that Pfizer is expecting their COVID-19 vaccination sales to reach $33.5 billion. Dr. Lyons-Weiler is expecting lockdowns in the near future. He also states that early treatment is highly effective. Dr. Lyons-Weiler addresses Susan's question regarding reporting of infertility as a result of the vaccinations. Dr. Lyons-Weiler concludes by encouraging freedom loving people to gain knowledge. He has started a related company that will educate people on science, logic, mathematics, and how to analyze a spreadsheet relative to people's concerns and questions regarding COVID-19.

Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Wednesday April 7th, and even though there’s a lot of turmoil right now we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Today - Months after a winter storm paralyzed the southern U.S. and caused major utility issues, some Coloradans who are customers of electricity co-ops are now being charged more to help foot the bill. But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to April 7th, 1903 when prohibitionist Carrie Nation came to the tourist town of Glenwood Springs. Nation was motivated by a fiery determination to eradicate alcohol from American life and rallied against spirits to an interested crowd. Now, our feature story. It’s been almost two months since a deep freeze paralyzed much of the southern U.S. and spiked energy prices. Yet energy customers of Grand Valley Power in Grand Junction, as well as other electricity co-ops, are helping foot the bill even though it didn’t get very cold in their regions. Reporter Michael Booth talks with Lucy Haggard to untangle what’s happening in Colorado’s energy world. To read more about energy in Colorado, go to coloradosun.com. And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today: Colorado lawmakers have unveiled the upcoming fiscal year’s budget to the tune of $34.1 billion. The budget has roughly $1.8 billion more available than the current fiscal year, due in large part to money left over from pandemic-induced budget cuts that turned out to be unnecessary. About $1.3 billion will be set aside for reserve savings, a significantly higher portion than in previous years. State employees will also get a 3% raise to help their wages match the market. The Major League Baseball All-Star Game will happen this July at Denver’s Coors Field, instead of at Truist Park in Atlanta as previously planned. The league moved the game in protest of Georgia’s new voting laws, which many critics argue will increase voter suppression. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said Tuesday that the city expects more than $100 million in economic benefit from the game. The Colorado Rockies opened their season at Coors Field on Thursday, winning against the Los Angeles Dodgers. https://coloradosun.com/2021/04/06/mlb-all-star-game-colorado/ Angel of SHAV-ano Recycling, a family-run operation in CHAY-fee County, will shut down on Thursday because of slim profits and bad customer behavior. The company picked up roughly 4 million pounds of recyclables last year through its free community recycling sites, but owner Mickey Barry says it’s become more work than it’s worth. County officials were surprised by the announcement but say residents still can pay to have their recycling picked up at home by two private trash companies.

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up by the Colorado Sun. It’s Wednesday February 10th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Today - There’s a new bill backed by two state senators that aims to make abortions for Coloradans on Medicaid more accessible. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what happened on this day in Colorado history - adapted from Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today, we take you back to February 10th, 1958 when The Colorado Historical Society, which is now History Colorado, took ownership of a small tract in Weld County. It was once the site of a bustling fur trading post known as Fort Vasquez. Now, our feature story. Coloradans who are on Medicaid and need an abortion have limited options due to both state and federal law. A new bill from two Democratic state lawmakers seeks to give more access to low-income patients by removing restrictions on which facilities can provide abortions to Medicaid patients. Colorado Sun reporter Thy Vo tells reporter Lucy Haggard more about what the bill would and wouldn’t do, and what options Medicaid patients have in the meantime. Thanks for listening, to read the full story, go to coloradosun.com. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today: Governor Jared Polis and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock are at odds about whether the state should prioritize vaccinating people who are homeless. The mayor echoed the sentiment of some homeless advocates, that those on the streets are more vulnerable to catching the virus. Polis rebuffed the argument at a news conference Tuesday, saying it would cost lives to stray from the state’s current vaccine distribution plan. State public health officials say proof of citizenship, a Colorado address or any identification is not required to book a vaccine appointment. But some counties that are behind in their vaccine rollout are concerned with people crossing county and state lines to get the vaccine. Less than 1% of total vaccinations done in Colorado are listed with out of state addresses, and it’s unclear how many Colorado residents are driving to neighboring states to get vaccines there. One lawmaker’s effort to rein in the marijuana industry has stalled amid warnings that the industry would suffer greatly if the state set limits on recreational pot potency. State representative Yadira Caraveo told The Colorado Sun that her bill’s proposed limits were intended as starting points for a larger discussion about regulating THC concentration and other aspects of the industry. 2020 was a record year for recreational marijuana sales at $2.19 billion, more than one-fifth of the total sales since it was legalized in 2014.

This week on Off-Kilter, a new report sheds horrifying new light on the state of the nationwide affordable housing crisis. A minimum wage worker earning $7.25 an hour would need to work a staggering 122 hours per week, literally all 52 weeks of the year — the equivalent of three full time jobs — to afford a two bedroom apartment at fair market rent. Rebecca speaks with Diane Yentel, president and CEO of the National Low-Income Housing Coalition, about the new report “Out of Reach: The High Cost of Housing.” Later in the show, while Trump and Congressional Republicans actively seek to exacerbate the affordable housing crisis, some states and cities are taking matters into their own hands. Rebecca sits down with Denver Mayor Michael Hancock to hear how Denver’s tackling their affordable housing crisis and working to curb chronic homelessness. And finally, it’s no secret the Trump tax law that took effect earlier this year is already worsening inequality in the U.S. But it’s also a recipe for massively exacerbating racial inequality — and even mass incarceration. Rebecca talks with Darrick Hamilton and Michael Linden, both fellows at the Roosevelt Institute, about how “hidden rules of race are embedded in the new tax law.” But first: concentration camps for kids; how Trump’s plan to reorganize the federal government is just his latest effort to redefine everything from childcare to health insurance as “welfare”; what you’re not hearing about the Trump economy: wages FELL last year (!); momentum grows for expanding paid leave to include chosen family; and more — as Jeremy Slevin, aka your beloved Slevinator, returns with the news of the week ICYMI (and an even longer beard than last week).
