This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, Ian is out of town volunteering at a no-kill aardvark shelter, so Christy Powell is here to save Jason from talking to himself. Presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has changed EVERYTHING and Donald Trump’s campaign is falling apart. It’s been a wild few weeks.

Former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters is finally on trial, and you’ll never guess who showed up to support her. The Colorado Republican Party continues further down its bizarre Chairmanship rabbit hole, and we’ll explain what “Leave it to the States” really means when Republicans talk about abortion rights.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s a HOLY SHIT HE REALLY DID IT emergency podcast! We’re recording around 2:30 pm Mountain Time on Sunday, July 21st -- just about 2 hours after President Biden announced he was stepping down from the top of the Democratic Presidential ticket, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, and making HISTORY. Listen up to find out what we think about that, and what we think happens next.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado Primary Election is over! The winners won and the losers lost and were here to celebrate and/or weep with you, depending on your preferred outcome. But, to be honest, we’re pretty happy with the results across the board; we’ll unpack what this all means for Colorado politics going forward, especially as it relates to the Democratic and Republican parties and their relative relevance.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the 2024 Colorado Primary Election is on Tuesday, June 25th, so we break down the top races. Did you know in Colorado you not only vote for PEOPLE but you vote about PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE TOO, ESPECIALLY THIS ELECTION? We also go through some of the top ballot initiatives voters will see this November. And finally, just when you thought the Colorado GOP’s campaign of self-defeat was over, they find a way to make themselves even more unelectable by turning on the people trying to rescue the party from itself.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado GOP’s flag burning stochastic terrorism is the straw that broke the camel’s back, strangely enough, as local county party chairs are FINALLY calling for their chairman’s ouster. Just like we told you in our last episode, being a felon running for President kind of hurts you, at least a little. We also wind up another round of prognostications so we can tell you the future before you experience it yourself.

And friend of the show and newly minted CEO of Denver Water Alan Salazar is BACK on the pod to talk about the essence of wetness, the battle over Colorado's water, and what he thinks about the first year of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's administration.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado Republican Party continues it’s absolutely undefeated effort to ensure permanent electoral dominance by the Colorado Democratic Party, this time by saying every single Coloradan should pull their kids out of public schools; we report on how that’s going for them. Democrat of the Decade, Colorado Republican Party Chairman Dave Williams, is also doing his part by draining the money from the party he runs for his own personal political gain!

Also, we check in with our 8th favorite member of Congress from Colorado; our first (but not only!) most competitive election; and a primary debate in Ken Buck’s old district. ALSO, Donald J Trump is a convicted felon!!! In case you haven’t heard, the 45th president of the United States of America was convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records for paying hush money to a porn star to try and keep an affair he had secret during the 2016 election. Of course, Republicans are demanding his resignation from the presidential nomination and will be replacing him with someone who didn’t do all of that...just kidding!
