This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, we can finally shut up about the shut down as it has met a rather anticlimactic end right in time for the holiday travel crunch, but, the only thing we care about is…WHO WON, and, hey, what the hell is going on with all those healthcare premiums anyway...and, hey, what's with that multi-milliion dollar payout for Republican senators doing in there? Then, President Trump is totally not worried about the release of more information related to the Epstein files, so he and the White House are doing what totally not-worried people do in this situation: They’re freaking the fuck out. How does that impact our least-favorite members of congress from Colorado?
And...you know him as Pollster of the Pod because he’s the pollster we’ve had on the pod more than any other…Andrew Baumann is BACK to discuss the national political environment after the 2025 elections, and a new poll from friend of the pod Jessica Killin, which has us asking: Are YOU Killin Pilled too?
That’s it for this episode!
