Right-Wing Wokeism and Your Lying Eyes

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, there’s an old saying that “No man’s life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session,” but whoever said that obviously didn’t live in the Free State of Colorado where the second regular session of the 75th General Assembly kicks off this week. Also, The big sibling of the state legislature known as Congress tried and sadly failed to assert its coequal status as a branch of the federal government, but hey, at least they’re trying! Then, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is meeting the unprecedented times our state is facing with unprecedented action from his office, and we really hope that it’s enough to stave off President Trump's all out assault on Colorado. We’ve got some more 2026 news for you, but first, a masked ICE agent shot and killed a Coloradan in Minnesota, and the Trump administration would like you to please not believe your own eyes, ears, or any of the witnesses or videos from the altercation in the most dystopian effort from our federal government yet, while at the same time threatening more foreign military intervention if, get this, Iran kills protesters. That’s it for this episode!
