You Go, Canada (feat. "Canadian Jason Bane")
This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast the race for the worst job in Colorado politics is back on! Who among us gets to be the next Chair of the Colorado GOP? Then, who wants to Chuck...Schumer? It could start with one of Colorado’s Senators. And finally, our least favorite member of congress from the 8th congressional district continues to follow in the footsteps of Former U.S. Senator Cory Gardner in his quest to be "Former Member of Congress Gabe Evans."
But first, we take a trip back in time and a trip to visit our neighbor in the north. That's right, "Canadian Jason Bane" is BACK on the pod after a four year hiatus. We ask if his move to Canada after the first Trump election in 2016 was a good choice in retrospect, and if Canada is still accepting American applicants!

Does Trump have the "energy" to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act? (Feat. Silvio Marcacci of Energy Innovation)
THIS WEEK on the Get More Smarter Podcast it’s another special interview-only episode, mostly because Jason is still in the arctic setting tariffs on islands inhabited exclusively by puffins and melting ice caps.
Speaking of our apocalyptic climate nightmare hell scape, this week our guest is SIlvio Marcacci, Senior Director of Communications for Energy Innovation. We ask how truly cooked we are if Trump and Congressional Republicans repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, both literally and figuratively, and what it means for Colorado - take a listen!
