This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, The Big Orange Guy is assembling a rogue’s gallery of cabinet members to most likely destroy the entire federal government from the inside out, making people like us breathe a sigh of relief when comparative normies like Marco Rubio get appointed as Secretary of State. Next, two leading Colorado Democrats have a pretty bad week based on things they said in public and not-so public. Then, we break down the final-ish results of the elections in the Blue-ish rectangle that is the Centennial State; we check in with our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado in her new district; and we find out that the whole "Bread Sandwich" thing may have been cover after all, because the new congressman-elect (Jeff Hurd) from Lauren Boebert's former district is...getting pretty weird already.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the CPAC conference was a lot of things, but “conservative” wasn’t one of them. Despite absolutely no evidence of election fraud, Colorado Republicans are bringing a bunch of bills to make it harder to vote. The Colorado legislature is back in session after a COVID break. Finally, Lauren Boebert continues to embarrass Colorado on many different national stages.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast,

• Our main Colorado podcast competition and known logo thieves probably break campaign finance laws (or most certainly will);
• Colorado’s 8th congressional district doesn’t yet exist, but a solid Democratic candidate for it certainly does;
• Embattled Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters is still on the lam, but she popped up to talk to MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell (with whom she most certainly is not having a torrid love affair);
• Lauren Boebert as crooked as she is shady, and she’s very, very bad at hiding it;
• Ken Buck still sucks, but not as bad as...
• The totally-not-Republican-redistricting-squad-who-are-entirely-made-up-of-washed-up-Republicans-pretending-not-to-be-Republicans;
• Speaking of Republican stupidity, they’re trying to disenfranchise the majority of Colorado voters because they’re not out of power enough.

The first regular session of the 73rd Colorado General Assembly has come to a close! We tell you what the hell happened, give you the rundown of this year’s Winners and Losers, and debate the proper pronunciation of sine die; Lauren Boebert goes from embarrassing herself to embarrassing the good people of Pueblo and they’re not happy about it; some guy who won’t be a US Senator is running against Michael Bennet; we report on some not so shocking news about Colorado’s vaccination rate and it’s...pretty good; 30% of 30% percent of the country thinks Donald Trump will be reinstated as president...any day now...any day now...BUT FIRST we interview the Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives Alec Garnett!
