Aurora mayor Mike Coffman's office issues a statement countering Donald Trump's comments on Friday about the Tren de Aragua gang presence in the city. Will Trump's appearance and announcement of 'Operation Aurora' move the needle nationally on the border issue?

Send us a textThis week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the federal government is running out of time (again) to pass a continuing resolution (again) to fund the government for another few months (again), and our 8th favorite member of Congress is pretty responsible for it (again!) Then, the Colorado legislature cut about a billion dollars in taxes over the past few years and now the state budget is short about….a billion dollars! Are these things related? Well, sort of! Then, Donald Trump, yes that one, is apparently planning a visit to Aurora, Colorado to negotiate with the Venezuelan Gangs who have taken over the city! Just kidding, he's probably just going to make a fool of Mike Coffman for the 3,000th time. Next, Gabe-ish Evans had to fire an anti-semitic-ish staffer who said some really batshit-ish-ish on Facebook. And finally, the Triple Dave Williams saga is back! 

Jeff Hunt guest hosts The Peter Boyles Show. In this Hour, Political Violence on the Left: A History, 50% of American Liberals feel that the USA would be better if Trump was Assassinated, thoughts on Mike Coffman and Aurora, and much more! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aurora mayor Mike Coffman joins Dan live in-studio for two segments to discuss the infiltration of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua into several blocks of apartments in his city, and what he plans to do to solve the crisis.

Aurora mayor Mike Coffman joins Dan to provide his perspective on a large gathering of Venezuelans, estimated at a few thousand, which got out of hand on Sunday in celebration of an anticipated election defeat for communist dictator Nicolas Maduro back in their homeland. The question is, why didn't Aurora Police do anything to stop the event once chaos ensued?

MAYOR MIKE COFFMAN JUST WON RE ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE So we're going to check in with the Mayor at 1pm to see what he's got in store for his second term.

It wasn't the biggest election of our lifetimes. It wasn't even the biggest election in Denver this year! But this past Tuesday's results will reshape our lives, and our politics, in some big ways. Producer Paul Karolyi is breaking down the results and looking to the future with returning guest Joshua Emerson, a stand-up comic and the co-chair of the Denver American Indian Commission, and one of our favorite political insiders — longtime Democratic Party strategist and one of the co-hosts of the Get More Smarter podcast, Ian Silverii. And finally, our Rocky Mountain Highs and Lows of the Week. Paul talked about Mike Coffman and the micro-community in Virginia Village (But he missed the recent cancellation of the one planned for Holly Hills). Joshua mentioned Comedy Works and Spirit Airlines. Ian talked about Lauren Boebert, the Boulder mayor's race, the school board drama in Woodland Park, and his interview with the reporter behind that Woodland Park story. What do you think of the election results? We want to know what surprised you, what enraged you, and what you want to hear us talk about next!

After a razor-thin winning percentage in his first run for mayor back in 2019, Mike Coffman stretched his margin to 16 points in an emphatic victory over leftist challenger Juan Marcano on Tuesday night. He joins Dan to discuss the reasons why Aurora voters handed him a decisive win that resonated throughout the state of Colorado.

It's Tuesday, so host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are breaking down all the local stories that matter. First, a report of a so-called “homeless bar” with “prostitution tents” at 23rd and Champa Street had the national tabloids looking Denver's way. But what was really going on there anyway? Then, overdose deaths are making headlines again in Colorado, this time because more and more of these incidents are happening in public, forcing passersby into the role of makeshift first-responders. Plus, listeners share their comments on a recent guest on our show and debate how CO's vaping congresswoman's anti-trans rhetoric can have real-life consequences.  Bree mentioned CBS Colorado's coverage of Aurora mayor Mike Coffman's foray into cosplaying the experience of being homelessness.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Chairman of the party of hard work and individual responsibility just can't seem to…work hard and take individual responsibility. Quad-dicted YUGE loser Donald Trump produced a video name checking several El Paso County Republicans in an attempt to…make them somehow even more unelectable? Former Bruce D Benson Center for Right Wing Grievance and Nonsense at the University of Colorado Visiting Scholar John Eastman is being indicted, disbarred, and generally tarred and feathered, and Fox News is joining in on the fun, I guess. And we have a new installment of a fan-favorite recurring segment! Bur first...Juan Marcano, Aurora City Councilmember and candidate for Mayor of the 3rd largest city in the state joins us to talk about how he's going to beat Mike Coffman, what it's been like serving on the city council, and how Coffman's idiotic "strong mayor" proposal was even worse than you thought.

IT'S A MAYOR KIND OF DAY ON THE SHOW We've got Mayor Mike Coffman from Aurora at 1:30 today followed immediately by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston for a short interview. You really don't want to miss the 1pm hour.

Krista Kafer started raising hens well before the egg shortage and price spikes following the new state cage-free law for chickens and a devastating wave of avian/bird flu, and now she looks mighty smart as others may be following her lead. Also, Aurora mayor Mike Coffman joins Ryan on an update regarding his dispute with Douglas County over homeless persons being bused into his city.

Is there a solution to the homeless problem or can we only mitigate the issue?  Jimmy Sengenberger fills in for George and starts the hour with Aurora mayor Mike Coffman.  They discuss what Mayor Coffman sees with regard to homelessness in his city, plus his experience visiting what is touted as a successful program in Texas.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A KDVR Fox 31 Denver report cites Aurora mayor Mike Coffman and city council member Steve Sundberg are cautioning residents against giving cash directly to panhandlers on city streets, but rather donate money and goods to organizations committed to helping the homeless. Dan struggles with the notion of doing this, instead of giving openly as a matter of faith - and callers react in droves.

Steve Monahan cleared a GOP primary field without any challengers, and now focuses in on Democratic incumbent Rep. Jason Crow in Colorado's 6th Congressional District. Redistricting after the 2020 census presents an even more daunting challenge for Republicans in the 6th, as the party registration advantage (per FiveThirtyEight.com) has gone from D+12 to D+16. Can the naval aviator veteran repeat the path to victory followed five times by current Aurora mayor (and former Congressman in this district) Mike Coffman? Or is the district encompassing the southeast suburbs of Denver irretrievably blue, even in what should be a wave election year for Republicans?

Most candidates run their campaigns primarily for members of their voting base. Joe O'Dea seems to be running *from* his conservative base - or even against it - in his race for U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet. Dan and Ryan ponder why he is doing this, and whether the strategy may prove costly in the long run.Steve Monahan cleared a GOP primary field without any challengers, and now focuses in on Democratic incumbent Rep.

Mayor Mike Coffman joins Dan to discuss how he plans to handle an influx of displaced homeless people sent to Aurora from Douglas County.

Dan jousts with a caller who claims oil companies in Colorado and elsewhere have shut down production of their own accord, because they weren't making enough profit - despite record high gas prices and some of the highest demand for crude oil and natural gas we've seen in decades, and completely ignoring all of the hostility and discouragement from President Biden toward investment of any kind in the fossil fuel industry. Also, Mayor Mike Coffman joins Dan to discuss how he plans to handle an influx of displaced homeless people sent to Aurora from Douglas County.

Aurora mayor Mike Coffman joins Dan and expands on his tweet from earlier in the day criticizing Aurora city council members Juan Marcano and Crystal Murillo for taking an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris - on the taxpayers' dime.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, we talk at length about the filibuster; we pour one out for Donald Trump's Livejournal and encourage him to try Friendster next; we flip our Legislating with Crayons segment on its head and instead decide to legislate with laser printers and fountain pens; Colorado Republicans are using last-decade's lies to discuss this year's redistricting process; Lauren Boebert essentially argues for the extrajudicial killing of Dr. Fauci; and the good people of Aurora deserve so, so much better than Mike Coffman and his merry band of hacks who are campaigning to join him on Aurora City Council.-------Hosts: Jason Bane | Ian SilveriiProducer: Ethan BlackMusic: Breakmaster CylinderSubscribe wherever you get your podcasts and leave us a review if you Got More Smarter.

Homelessness is a complex, contentious, and multifaceted issue with multiple causes, and advocates on all sides of the issue advocating for different solutions and approaches. On this edition of the Common Sense Digest, we discuss the homelessness issue in-depth with two people working on it from two very different angles. Kate Barton is the Senior Vice President, Executive Office and Special Projects for the Downtown Denver Partnership, a fast-moving, forward thinking, non-profit business organization with the foundational belief that every day is our chance to make the city a little better. They also founded The Business Coalition on Homelessness, which was founded in 2019 by the Downtown Denver Partnership and business leaders to bring the resources, leadership, and voice of business together to collectively work with public and private sector partners, stakeholders, and the City to find and deliver solutions to homelessness.   Mike Coffman is the Mayor of Aurora, and last month completed a week of living on the street in shelters and in encampments to better understand the issue of homelessness. He shared his experience with CBS Denver and discusses what he learned, the criticism he received, and how he plans to integrate his learnings into addressing homelessness in Aurora on this week's program.    Thank you for listening to the Common Sense Digest.

Join Jimmy Sengenberger at the Crossroads with Mayor Mike Coffman (Aurora, CO) and Ret. Police Lt. Steven Rogers! On the night of July 25, Aurora, Colo. erupted in another night of violence and mayhem. This is the latest example of a sense of lawlessness ripping through the country and in an unexpected place - the Denver, Colo. area. Jimmy (@SengCenter) kicks off the show with special guest Mayor Mike Coffman of Aurora (@AuroraMayorMike) to discuss this spreading chaos. Then, retired police Lieutenant Steven Rogers (@LtStevenRogers), also a retired military intel officer, FBI NJTTF member, and head of the Campaign for America, rejoins the show to offer expert insights on the chaos sweeping the nation.

Opening Monologues. What A Fool Believes. Democrat Governor Ralph "Coonman" Northam, of Virginia, finds himself in a tight spot. A yearbook photo emerges of Northam either in "blackface" or decked out in a KKK costume. Bizarrely, Northam's wife prevents him from doing a Michael Jackson "moonwalk" at a press conference. Will he resign? Meanwhile, yet another Whiff from Pencilneck Schiff. Questioning Mueller's mental stability. Colorado Senate Democrats vote to nix the Electoral College in favor of popular vote. Constitutional? Colorado Senator Cory Gardner offers an "early and warm endorsement" of President Trump's reelection campaign. Democrat Mike Johnston announces his challenge to Gardner in 2020, and Mike Coffman plans a bid for Mayor of Aurora. Vignettes on a Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins pop song from 1979. Host hot takes on Super Bowl LIII. The MAGA Patriots v. Wade Phillips' Rams.

Opening Monologues. The Californication of Colorado. Solid election results nationally, as the Trump GOP was able to overcome history to thwart a Blue Wave. Impressive gains in the U.S. Senate. But tough times indeed for Republicans in Blue State Colorado. We offer our Preliminary GOP Autopsy for Colorado 2018. Mild-mannered, Bush-like campaigns in the Trump Era. It must be said: The low energy, low purpose, low connection CO GOP simply could not have done worse, even if they tried. But will they learn the right lessons from this debacle? We criticize state leaders for continually distancing themselves from President Trump and the motivating MAGA agenda. Nationally, we observe the Republicans who did well tended to seek the "warm embrace" from Trump. Rough justice arrives for the defeated Rep. Mike Coffman, who fell short in his effort to represent a district reflective of the kind of America he has helped create. Coffman earned a dismissive comment from Trump: "Too bad Mike!" We bestow Darwin Awards upon sundry Never Trumpers, whose wayward political instincts have helped remove them from the political gene pool. Meanwhile, Democrats attempt to steal elections in Florida, Georgia and Arizona. As philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer once said, gotta keep on fighting. Eternal Vigilance.

The Hostile Media finds itself "exhausted from being outraged" in the Trump Era, as White House insiders now claim "unstoppable momentum." We look further into the Flynn plea deal, which Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz describes as a "show of weakness" by Team Mueller. Process crimes for a key witness? Leon Panetta, former Secretary of Defense, adds that its "a stretch" to insinuate the Trump transition team broke any laws. Meanwhile, Roy Moore takes a commanding lead in Alabama, Sen. Al Franken earns his fifth accuser, and open borders Rep. Luis Gutierrez announces plans to leave the House. Also, Sen. Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren amplifies her branding, and we offer preliminary notes on the Kate Steinle verdict.

A visit with Jennifer Kerns on Donna Brazile, Fusion GPS, the Trump Dossier, the Virginia Governor's Race, prospects for Tax Reform and the amazing series of Democratic backfires. Also, an extended discourse on the enduring ineptitude of the Bush Dynasty. The former Presidents Bush claim, in a new book, that President Trump is "blowing up" the Republican Party. And so we ask: How do they still not realize that Trump has been saving the GOP from the disatrous presidency of George W. Bush? We conclude it is time for the Bushes to be ushered off the stage. Meanwhile, Colorado Senator Cory Gardner suffers a dramatic plunge in popularity, Rep. Mike Coffman gains a primary opponent, and Tom Tancredo enters the race for Colorado Governor. Plus, leftist journalists "body shame" White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and the disgraced Anthony Weiner finally goes to jail. Also, Papa John's CEO John Schnatter blasts the NFL for declining pizza sales and legendary broadcaster Vin Scully says he "will never watch another NFL game." With Listener Calls & Music via R.E.M., the Wreckers and Oasis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Style of Sovereignty. What it looks like to drain the Republican side of the swamp. Senators Flake and Corker make an exit, media figures express great anguish. Populist nationalists appear to be taking over the GOP, but Gov. John Kasich denies the present reality. Vice President Mike Pence comes to Denver, offers high praise for Sen. Cory Gardner and Rep. Mike Coffman. But do they truly deserve it? Meanwhile, Mike Huckabee criticizes Robert Mueller, and as the Russian Narrative boomerangs back on the Democrats, we replay the hysterical Leftist reactions to Don Trump Jr.'s meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya. Plus, we continue delving into Fusion GPS and the Trump Dossier via the pedigree of former British spy Christopher Steele, who trained under Sir John Scarlett, the individual who helped bring Britain into the Iraq War with his claims that Saddam Hussein had powerful WMD's ready to deploy.
