This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the legislature is back in session, the first big tranche of bills have been filed, and Colorado Democrats are as ready to do the people’s work as Colorado Republicans seem somehow caught off guard despite the fact that the legislative session starts about the same time every year. Then, do you have your tickets to the gun show? Our guest this week is Jessie Ojeda from GIFFORDS, who stops by to talk about Colorado’s recent spat of gun safety laws and how we can improve our grade (though there isn’t much room to grow!)

Later, friend of the pod Jason Crow is being investigated by the Big Orange Guy -- the same guy who claimed Democrats were using “unfair lawfare” to go after him. Then, in our continuing effort to get listeners as Killin' Pilled as we are, we examine how 5th District Republican Congressman Jeff Crank is screwing up his own politics because it turns out that being a right wing radio host for a few years doesn’t exactly prepare you for a competitive congressional. We also check in with the other schmuck who’s gonna lose a November congressional race (his name rhymes with Gabe Evans) and take a look at news in the race for Governor in 2026.
