Navigating the Trump Era: Politics and Journalism

Send us a message! Really!

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, what do you call it when you throw a press conference, get boo’d by the crowd so loud you can’t hear the questions from the press to try and sell a very unpopular bill outside your district? We ask our 7th favorite member of congress from Colorado. Then, our favorite Congressional Bread sandwich surrenders to President Trump and speaker Mike Johnson and sets up every rural hospital in his district for disaster for really no reason at all! Then, in a new segment, Governor Polis vetoes more bills -- we talk about all the bills Governor Polis is vetoing, and some of them may surprise you. And finally we take a peek at the 2026 candidate roster to see how primary elections that are now only a whole year away are shaping up. 

But first, he’s the legendary liberal columnist for the Colorado Sun...Mike Littwin joins us to talk Trump, Colorado Media, the state of US Journalism, and what gives him hope.
