BONUS: Senator John Hickenlooper Gets More Smarter

Send us a message! Really!

Senator John Hickenlooper updates us on life in the US Senate, the COVID relief bill, his thoughts on the filibuster, and whether he'll take Jason to Area 51 as part of his new role as Chair of the Space and Science Subcommittee.

*Note: Our interview with Senator Hickenlooper ended before news of the shooting at the Boulder King Soopers appeared on social media, which is why we don't mention it in the interview. On Monday evening, Senator Hickenlooper tweeted :

"They were just grocery shopping.

I can't imagine what the families of these Coloradans are experiencing. My heart goes out to them.

We don't know all the details yet, but we DO know our country has a horrific problem with gun violence. We need federal action. Now."
