This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Federal Government Shutdown enters its second-ish week and Democrats seem to have the upper hand, at least so far. Then, can puppy-killer DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and her masked goons defeat an army of grannies with ukeleles and people in inflatable costumes in war-raveged Portland, Oregon? Even though 2026 is a ways away, we’ve got some more updates on the campaigns that matter most to Colorado. And we’ll tell you who didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize (spoiler: It's not the guy who is siccing the military on his own citizens and canceled billions of dollars in foreign aid to starving children across the world). 

And in our continuing quest to interview every viable Democrat running for a major office in Colorado, Trisha Calvarese is on the pod to talk about her labor background, her ground game in the district, and why Co-04 primary voters should give her another chance to take on our 7th favorite member of Congress from Colorado.
