Budget Battles and Political Accountability

Send us a message! Really!

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the race for Colorado’s next governor is officially on! And the winner will either be Attorney General Phil Weiser or US Senator Michael Bennet -- you can bet on it. Then, don’t check your 401k or your kid’s college fund or any other investments for the next four years, as Donald Trump’s ridiculous one man tariff crusade throws the global economy into a permanent tailspin. We check in with Colorado’s Congressional Republicans as at least one of them gets ready to cast the votes that will end his career! And...do you have your tickets to the gun show? Or your background check and your training certificate? Because if you’re going to buy an assault weapon in Colorado, pretty soon you’re gonna need one! 

But first, we check in with State Senator Jessie Danielson about the status of one of the biggest bills in the state legislature this year. Danielson also gives us a preview of what she plans to do next in 2026.
