apparently just scales mountains thanks for joining us on the podcast thank you governor thank you john it was great to be with you hey everyone it's me Morgan Stewart and I have a new podcast called the Morgan Stewart show join me each week as I talk about pop culture fashion my personal life and just a warning I'm going to be giving my opinion on everything I'll also have some really fun guests to join in on the fun the Morgan Stewart show is out now listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts or watch full video on youtube there are countless reasons to learn a new language whether you have an upcoming trip plan or you simply want to learn a new skill rosetta stone breaks down your new language into bite-sized pieces and focuses on speaking practice or real conversations rosetta stones true accent feature even helps you perfect your pronunciation I mean pronunciation visit rosetta stone dot com today rosetta stone how languages learned our next guest on the anti-busier podcast is a familiar face it's Colorado attorney general Phil wiser previously we had Phil on a statement of the case Phil is a proven fighter for Colorado and a lifelong public servant dedicated to putting people first as Colorado's attorney general Phil has consistently defended the rule of law protected our democracy thanks for that and taken on bad actors who ripped off families raise costs and abuse their power when the trump administration threatens Colorado's values freedoms and constitutional authority Phil is not staying on the sidelines he's fighting back and suing the trump administration to protect immigrants voting rights and the integrity of our democracy as the son and grandson of holocaust survivors Phil has dedicated his career to ensuring that all people no matter their gender ethnicity faith or who they love are free from discrimination hatred and oppression his commitment to these core American values is deeply rooted in his family story and lived experience and he is now in the primary for governor of Colorado Phil welcome back to the podcast and he thank you for having me when we had you on last you are doing a statement of the case about a lawsuit against Donald Trump and you and other democratic a g's joined by Josh Shapiro and I have stood up time and time again I think I want to start by asking you what's it like to go to battle with the president of the united states Andy I want to start with that loss that we talked about it was involving snap benefits and during the pandemic that the agriculture sector Brooke Rollins made a mean spirited illegal decision to withhold people's access to food even though the law specified that there was an emergency reserve that should have been used and we had to go to court we were successful obviously the government shut down when this was happening was short lived and so we did get the funding online for that reason but before that happened during the shutdown we were able to go to court to protect access snap benefits the same thing happened a second time just to Colorado Andy it's worth noting this agriculture sector is part of an effort to punish Colorado because the president doesn't like that Tina Peters a former county clerk who broke the laws in jail and we have male invoting they've singled Colorado for these punishments severe measures he's called it one of them was to try to take away snap benefits from 600,000 Coloradans relying on their next meal we went to court a second time against his agriculture secretary and we're successful there as well as you you had to sue twice just so people could have enough to eat that's right yes this agriculture secretary should be ashamed of herself she also was sued a third time by me because she fired for service firefighters and we had one of those firefighters come speak to a meaningful state AG group you know this group well Andy you're still I do one of us in spirit we heard from Maria Washburn a firefighter who was basically told to leave her job right before fire season we went to court got her job back she talked about the lies this agriculture secretary had told about the forest service so some people are willing to make excuses even try to say nice things about some of these Trump officials who are breaking the law on the harming people I'm not and so I could say what is it like it is a test of your fearlessness are you willing to fight for what is right are you committed to standing up for the rule of law or are you afraid that is the key moment of this the key question of this moment and I'm never going to be afraid to take on a bully I am always going to fight for its right so you are standing for election but a lot of Americans are worried about whether they're going to be free and fair elections but you're an attorney general so I know
