Owen WoodsHostSo, Owen, what did you make of Phil Weiser and his conversation or his comments around the Colorado River, climate change? And I'll say that he is not a denier of climate change.
He's definitely someone who is working that and understands, I think, the threat climate presents to all of us.
That's what stands out to me big time is not only does he recognize its threat and its pressing nature, but he's got actionable plans and he has a design for policy that is actionable and is manifest in reality rather than some kind of mystical data figure.
He really does have a good sense of how at least Colorado can handle climate change.
And I think compared to other politicians, he has a pretty clear sense of policy in that.
And, you know, as we've talked to Mr. Weiser several times over the years here and doing the Valley Pod, we often get him on the Outdoor Citizen podcast because I think he'd be a really good guest for Marty.
But in our conversations with him over the period of last couple of years, he is definitely someone who will... bring a lawsuit if that's what he thinks is necessary he's a litigator he's someone that likes to fight or maybe not fight but he's someone that will litigate or he will press the case for the state of colorado if he thinks that's what's needed and his knowledge around watered law in the state i think is uh is a benefit for someone that would step into the governor's chair
Yeah, I think I think his willingness to at least stand up in a courtroom and make the make the record is something not a lot of others are doing, especially when it comes to the water that we have.
And I appreciate that he takes our questions and he takes these conversations seriously.
