This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast...we were wrong! Turns out neither Jason nor I are infallible, and if you are, good for you! We unpack this week’s somewhat surprising Primary Election outcomes with our special guest, University of Denver Professor Seth Masket, who directs the Center for American Politics. We talk about what happened, why, and how the Primary might affect the General Election in November.

Piecing Through the Primary Election (feat. Seth Masket)

Armin Thomas

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast...with one week left to go in the primaries, Colorado Republican Candidates are finally on the air with their own ads after leaving the entire environment open for months. Will it change the outcome of any of the races? We'll tell you. Also...The Denver Post Editorial Board comes right out and says it: John Eastman is proof that the Bruce Benson Center at the University of Colorado has no reason to exist. And our guest today is Armin Thomas of Split Ticket; we let the professional prognosticator tell us what’s going to happen next week, and ask him about his favorite Colorado district ever.

Predicting the Primary Election (feat. Armin Thomas)

Greg Lopez

Heidi Ganahl

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the GOP is freaking out about a tactic they’ve used and we’ve used and everyone has used before, mostly because they do not want to talk about their terrible ideas that no one agrees with. We pre-preview the newest edition of the Rocky Mountaineer, and it’s exactly what we thought it would be; Colorado plays an oversize role in all American politics, and that is unfortunately the case with the deadly insurrection at the Capitol on January 6; Lauren Boebert is a wreck, and this time we’re talking about an ATV; Jason and I LARP an interview with Tina Peters and can’t make it make any more sense; and Ken Buck apparently clears the weeds from his lawn with Javelin missiles.

Tom Sullivan

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast...there have been 213 mass shootings so far in 2022. What are we even doing anymore? Our 6th and 7th favorite congresspeople from Colorado continue to embarrass themselves (and all of us) on a daily basis; primary ballots drop next week; and we predict the election results so you don’t have to. But first, our guest this week is state representative Tom Sullivan, who is Colorado’s leading gun violence prevention expert and advocate. We talk gun policy, his personal story, and his campaign for the new Senate District 27.

It's. The. Guns. (feat. Rep. Tom Sullivan)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the violent white replacement conspiracy theory embraced by many Republican politicians spurred yet another mass shooting in a community of color; we ask why on earth some Colorado Republicans have courted and accepted endorsements from some of the conspiracy’s biggest boosters. Our 7th favorite congressperson from Colorado spent the week blaming Joe Biden for the baby formula shortage and then became one of 9 monsters to vote against helping low income families get it because she’s a lying, callous monster who exists solely to embarrass the good people of Colorado’s third congressional district. The three Colorado Republicans vying for the chance to lose to Jena Griswold this November got together for a debate, and Jason listened to the whole thing so you don’t have to. Greg Lopez, the top-line Republican candidate for governor, has a plan to help Republicans finally win in Colorado, which is essentially to make sure their votes count more than those of Democrats. But first, we interview Colorado House Speaker Alec Garnett once more to wrap up his final legislative session holding the gavel! The Speaker will reflect on his 8 years as a legislator and his two years leading the largest Democratic caucus in the history of Colorado, probably.

Does This Look Like it Could Be Weird? (feat. Alec Garnett)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, HAPPY SINE DIE to everyone except for the Colorado House Republicans who, despite having the smallest legislative minority in memory, tried to hold the entire legislature hostage until…well they don’t know either. We’ll talk about the bills that have passed so far this session, and a few that might turn into a pumpkin when the clock strikes midnight (which it did). Joe O’Dea is dancing, yeah; our least favorite coup-plotting disgraced-right-wing-professorial-insurrectionist from Colorado is in deep, deep doo-doo; and our 64th favorite county clerk has been barred from overseeing the election her current office is in charge of while she maintains her frontrunner status in the GOP primary to oversee every election in Colorado.

Falling on Ridiculously Dull Swords

Christy Powell

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado legislature protected abortion rights RIGHT BEFORE a leaked memo from the Supreme Court shows they’re poised to overturn Roe v. Wade...and Colorado Republicans remain on the wrong side of this issue that they were POSITIVE would not be important this cycle (whoopsie!). Later, Christy Powell returns to chat campaign finance numbers for statewide offices and provide an absolutely epic rant on abortion rights that you don't want to miss (jump ahead to the 22:45 mark for that, and bring your earmuffs).

The One With the Epic Rant About Abortion Rights (feat. Christy Powell)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Christy Powell Strikes Back! She was such a big hit with our listeners that we wanted to bring her back to talk campaign finance (and Ian is not at all worried that she’s going to permanently replace him because she’s smarter, funnier AND taller). Christy reads us campaign finance reports in a French accent...Colorado Republicans are overdosing on their own kool-aid, and blaming Democrats for that, too...the GOP establishment is trying to engineer a ballot full of boring, unelectable candidates instead of a ballot full of insane, unelectable candidates -- and they're doing a bad job! And Lori Saine brags about something that makes no sense whatsoever!

Get Off the People's Lawn! (feat. Christy Powell)

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, we’re going to keep things simple. The Colorado Republican Party held its state assembly last weekend, and it was an incredible disaster. There are not enough words to adequately describe this dumpster fire, but we’re going to try with the help of guest host Christy Powell!

Scott Wasserman

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, results from some of the Republican assemblies last week tell us what we already know, the Colorado GOP is screwed. Also, we preview the state assembly with contests for Governor, US Senate, and Secretary of State. A Republican candidate for Congress claims basic healthcare is human sacrifice to the demon lord Ba’al, and we’re not remotely making this up. We don’t say Gay-nahl as the presumptive runner-up for the GOP nomination for governor gets trapped by a pilled radio host, we see if the voter fraud lie rally brought to you by My Pillow and the Tina Peters Legal Defense Grift gets blown away by 25 mile per hour winds, and our interview with returning friend of the pod State Senator Julie Gonzales of Denver and Scott Wasserman, President of the Bell Policy center - we talk housing affordability and ballot initiative madness. You don’t want to miss this interview.

The Sideshow Bob Defense

This week, we talk about the cowardly responses from Republican leaders to back to back mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso Texas. Later on, we try and locate one of the NRA’s top five Senators as he dodges town halls and any major Colorado news outlet in our recurring segment, Finding Cory. And finally, we prognosticate about the 2020 elections, whether gun-violence prevention will be a major electoral issue, and speculate on a possible Senate run from John Hickenlooper. It’s time to Get More Smarter.Follow Get More SmarterTwitter: twitter.com/MoreSmarterShowFacebook: facebook.com/GetMoreSmarter
