Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Sam Silverii is three weeks old, which is five days younger than the Trump Administration, and even he knows what's going on in DC is bonkers. We check in with our 8th favorite soon-to-be-one-term member of Congress, who has spent his time in Washington hiding when he's not too busy doing Elon Musk and Donald Trump's bidding. And we check in on the Colorado Legislature, where State House Republicans literally show their asses in defense of the January 6th rioters who Trump pardoned for some indefensible reason.But first...Jason Bane sat down with the House Assistant Democratic Leader, Colorado's own Joe Neguse, to ask him what Democrats in Congress can and will do to stop Trump and Musk's wrecking ball, and what you -- yes you -- can do to help.
Send us a message!

After Rep. Lauren Boebert's “Beetlejuice” moment back in September, Liberals across the country gleefully jeered and cheered as she tried to spin the media narrative back in her favor. But now that the dust has settled, Boebert is back on the offensive. So what are her electoral chances in the Congressional District 3 Republican primary in June? And if she wins, could she beat the likely Democratic candidate, Adam Frisch, in November? Join host Bree Davies, producer Paul Karolyi and returning guests Ian Silverii and Jason Bane — co-hosts of the liberal Colorado politics podcast Get More Smarter — to look back on Boebert's big year, including some very fresh dirt from the UK tabloids, and predict her electoral future. Bree quoted two editorials from the Denver Gazette; one about Boebert and one about Trump. She also mentioned yesterday's news about the Colorado Supreme Court barring former President Donald Trump from the CO primary next year over his role on January 6.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Jason Bane is psychic. Or Ken Buck is predictable. Or both! As the MAGA Shutdown Shitshow careens toward it's inevitable conclusion, one question remains, will Kevin McCarthy screw up Ian's Yom Kippur plans this year? The scandal known as Beetlebert continues into a third week; will our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado ever be able to send a tweet without her replies becoming a hot mess ever again? The deal struck between the Colorado GOP and the Colorado Libertarian Party is going great...for Colorado Democrats. And Donald Trump, like Thanos -- the guy who eradicates every other living being in the universe -- really seems inevitable. BUT FIRST...Karen Middleton, Executive Director of the abortion rights group Cobalt, joins us to talk elections, reproductive freedom, and the 2024 initiative to protect the rights of roughly one half of the population coming to a ballot near you.
It's Friday! Although election night is behind us, we're still waiting for all the ballots to be counted.

Host Bree Davies is joined by our state politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval, and Jason Bane, co-host of the Colorado politics podcast Get More Smarter, to discuss the state of the progressive vote in the Mile High, and how negative narratives about crime and homelessness impacted the election. Then it's all about that dark money already flowing into next year's state election from a group that's aiming to unseat Lauren Boebert.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the State of our Union is….WEIRD. Ian Silverii reports back from the worst seats in the House Gallery because Jason Bane wasn't invited. The great Christy Powell joins us with a new game where we try and explain the inexplicable, for prizes (metaphorical ones). Overtly racist pro-claymore mine lobby Rocky Mountain Gun Owners flies its overtly-racist flag. There is still no bottom with Representative Scott Bottoms. And our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado, Lauren Boebert, has some loud thoughts about WHO TURNED OFF MY TWITTER MACHINE???
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.

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.
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Ian Silverii is on vacation, so the other guy (Jason Bane) found two different people who were willing to talk to him about politics. Settle in for an entertaining discussion with Jason and returning guests Christy Powell and Alan Franklin for a deep, deep, deep dive into the big electoral questions of 2022 and what Colorado's political future looks like from here. We talk about how Republicans completely hosed themselves in 2022; whether or not the Colorado GOP is even salvageable; and what Democrats need to be careful about with their new super-duper majorities in Colorado. We also touch on some news about exporting QAnon and whether failed Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker was tanking all along.
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Congresswoman-elect Brittany Pettersen joins her husband and podcast host Ian Silverii (and Jason Bane) to talk about traveling to Washington D.C. for a whirlwind week of orientation for newly-elected members of Congress. We'll take you behind the scenes for a look at everything involved in starting a new job at the United States Capitol. Later, we discuss another mass shooting in Colorado -- this time at "Club Q" in Colorado Springs -- and how lawmakers need to do more to ensure that local elected officials aren't ignoring tools that are intended to prevent such a tragedy. We'll also talk about Rep. Lauren Boebert's narrow re-election in CO-03; leadership elections at the State Capitol; and Donald Trump's very sad announcement of another Presidential campaign. Happy Thanksgiving! We're particularly grateful for all of our listeners.
