Editor’s Note: Apologies for not getting this newsletter out with the episode earlier in the week, but we were prepping for our first ever LIVE EPISODE at DEM FEST this weekend and I just never got around to this until right now!
THIS WEEK on the Get More Smarter Podcast, he’s back! Senator John Hickenlooper joins us once more now that he’s had a couple years under his belt in the US Senate, otherwise known as the NFL of American Politics (nobody calls it that).
We discuss his legendary 2003 Mayoral campaign, including his lucky breaks. We chat the bipartisan immigration deal Donald Trump torpedoed because he is absolutely unfit to be president again. We talk about Hick’s BIG WIRES Act to upgrade our electrical transmission grid so we can decarbonize rapidly and welcome in the clean energy transition, reproductive rights and IVF, being a new dad, the State of the Union which Hick called “a kickass speech,” and much, much more.
This is an interview you don’t want to miss, so subscribe to the pod wherever you listen, follow us over on Nice Twitter aka Threads, and forward this email or share this post with your friends, your enemies, and that kid you kicked out of your middle school punk band because he refused to learn the riff to Seven Nation Army, you know who you are. Thanks to Senator of the Pod John Hickenlooper for being our guest this week, and THANK YOU so much for listening, we’ll see you next time!
