How do you take on the highest office in the land and win?In this episode of Lunch with Jamie, I sit down with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a man who has become a primary standard-bearer for state sovereignty. From the "Rise of the AGs" during Trump 1.0 to filing his 67th lawsuit against the current administration, Bonta explains why the state attorney general’s office is now the front line of American democracy. Attorney General Bonta and I discuss: • The "Rise of the AGs": How state attorneys general became a visible, high-speed force for national policy. • Militarization of the Streets: The inside story of blocking the federalized National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles. • The Corporate Battlefield: Why the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger is not a "done deal" and the massive antitrust win against Ticketmaster/Live Nation. • The People’s Champion: Managing a $1.3 billion budget and 6,000 employees to tackle everything from cold case rapes to climate change. • Personal Foundations: Bonta’s journey from the Philippines and the UFW headquarters in La Paz to becoming the "People’s Attorney". "We’re fighting back against the president who breaks the law... and we’re winning." — AG Rob BontaOnly members of Jamie's List get to join live on Zoom for exclusive access during conversations like this one.
