Okay, Seriously, Who the Heck is Mike Johnson?

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, there’s (finally) a new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives; while he shares all but one consonant with the new Mayor of Denver, that’s where the similarities end. MAGA Mike Johnson is a real freak; we discuss whether or not he can make Congress function and keep Republicans in the Majority in 2024...or if he’s the gift that Democrats have been waiting for all autumn. Our 7th and 8th favorite members of Congress continue to humiliate and embarrass themselves and the State of Colorado on a national scale.
But first...we’ve had a LOT more listener mail recently! It seems a lot of you really got fired up about our interview with Logan Davis about the right wing takeover of the Woodland Park School Board. Take a listen and send us your own comments at angryrants@getmoresmarter.com.
