This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, cutting taxes is bad, actually, and the State Legislature is about to go cut another billion dollars from the state budget because of it. Then, do you enjoy friend of the pod Kyle Clark’s innovative evening news show, microgiving campaigns, and refusal to let the worst stories become the most important stories? Well you better set your DVR because if a big corporate mega merger goes through, it might be the "Last of Next." Then, do you enjoy the convenience of having about a month to research all of the candidates and initiatives on your mail ballot and the ability to drop them off or mail them back every election? Well we also have bad news for you on that! And finally, we dig into the practical possibility of Colorado joining the redistricting arms race to the bottom and the new way Libertarians are trying to screw with Colorado Republicans this time.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s a Special Session Special Episode Special! Again! And this time it’s not even our fault! As the effects of the Big Bullshit Bill come into focus, Colorado has to cut ANOTHER billion dollars from the state budget on top of the billion dollars TABOR forced us to cut earlier in the year. Where will lawmakers find the money?

Then, a Republican state representative leaked screenshots of a secret group chat (hey, weren’t they not supposed to have those anymore?) to a reporter where other members were making sexist and racist comments about a Democratic colleague; is there no depth to the depravity of the Colorado GOP? Then, tariffs are both dumb as shit and super unpopular. That’s it, that’s the segment. And finally, brain worms are eating your vaccines; Gabe Evans is saving Medicaid by kicking everyone off it; and any Republican brave or stupid enough to have a town hall meeting is getting what they deserve.

THIS WEEK on the Get More Smarter Podcast, we always said that Gabe Evans would deport his own grandparents if it meant he could get elected to congress, and now we have proof! Then, the Epstein Files finally seem to be the scandal that Trump can’t slither out from…so far. Speaking of which, Lauren Boebert finally got a chance to vote to release those same Epstein Files which she’s been demanding since she first ran for office back in 2020, so, how did she vote? Then, Colorado’s Attorney General Phil Weiser has filed more suits than a Men’s Wearhouse! Then, there’s benzene in the groundwater and arsenic in the soil, can you guess which vaunted and totally safe Colorado industry put them there? Probably the same industry bankrolling Right Wing interest groups to try to fuck up the state budget even worse than it already is! And finally, we’ve got some great listener feedback to share with you, but you’ll have to stick around to the end of the episode to hear it!
