Phil Weiser's journey to becoming the Colorado Attorney General is truly inspiring. He served as a law clerk for Justices Byron R. White and Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the U.S. Supreme Court and later became senior counsel for the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. He then became CU Law Dean.
We delve into the crucial responsibilities of an Attorney General, the state’s chief law enforcement officer, a position of great significance held by Kamala Harris (California) and Josh Shapiro (Pennsylvania). What great training for higher office.
Colorado AG recounts his office’s success in stopping Kroger’s proposed merger with Albertsons. Weiser also discusses governmental solutions to airline travel delays, other consumer rip-offs, and social media targeting teenagers.
The results in the Elijah McClain death prosecutions are reviewed. Phil Weiser discusses the commitment, ethics, and energy necessary to be a good prosecutor. Our jury system and Kamala Harris's career path are praised.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro mentored AG Weiser, and Phil went to see then AG Shapiro for advice before running for the job in Colorado. Weiser is a massive fan of Shapiro, who may be the Dem VP nominee. Governor Shapiro castigates Trump for shit-talking America.
Troubadour Dave Gunders brings us great music and vibes as we celebrate Kamala Harris's elevation to the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee. “Set the Tone” is about perseverance and the power of people, especially those with a good attitude. We are thrilled by the political events of the last week.
