Unleash the Blue-icane! (feat. Jeff Bridges) | Get More Smarter EP 257

Описание: This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s 2017 all over again, but bigger, better, and BLUE-YER as Democrats from all sides of the spectrum ride an anti-Trump wave to huge win margins across the country that are sending Republicans into the long, dark teatime of the soul. We unpack the results of the 2025 election and ask “why the fuck did we have to learn this lesson, again, America?”

Then, with SNAP benefits expiring and 1 out of every 10 flights getting canceled over the upcoming holidays, is there an end to the shutdown in sight? And we talk about what this all means for the 2026 midterms! And...our guest today in our seemingly never-ending quest to interview every viable democratic candidate for a major race in Colorado, friend of the pod Jeff Bridges joins us once more to explain his campaign for State Treasurer and his love for "T-pools."
