Richard ChuHOST
And we know what we're talking about.
Richard ChuHOST
But let's just talk, I mean, you, her, Ms. Nessel, Ms. Benson, you know, four women that have been in the four... you know, most powerful positions in the state in terms of politics, and you've gotten stuff done.
Richard ChuHOST
Talk to our audience as to why and how you've gotten stuff done.
Winnie BrinksGUEST
Yeah, I can't say it was easy, right? We had challenges.
Michael PopokHOST
I had the opportunity to be in the room with 15 Democratic attorneys general and interview them on our behalf here on Legal AF about voting and votes.
Michael PopokHOST
I got a video up right now of my interview with Rob Bonta, the attorney general of California, and Dana Nessel, the attorney general of Michigan, and here's a clip.
Dana NesselSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I will say this for people who say, like, "Well, what's the harm? Why not turn that information over?" Well, the federal government under Donald Trump, they have not been good stewards of our personal information, and we've seen these, uh, data breaches.
Dana NesselSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We've seen people who come in who have not been vetted using, um, you know, uh, unsecure systems, uh, in order to, uh, obtain that information.

Michael PopokHOST
So if you, if, if you hate the post office in terms of their reliability on delivering your junk mail, you're gonna despise them when it comes to them overtly blocking your ballot.
Michael PopokHOST
And, and, and to put a shiver down people's spine, and then I wanna talk a little bit about the, um, emergency, um, um, s- test, the eme- emergency kit that you need to build between now and election day that I developed with the, uh, attorneys general.
Michael PopokHOST
Dana Nessel, the Michigan, um, attorney general, said that, you know, this is a repeat of what happened in Trump 1, where he used the post office to slow down the delivery of ballots, so oops, they missed the deadline.
Michael PopokHOST
Bags of ballots, meaning your vote, sitting dead letter in a post office.
Michael PopokHOST
It is impossible.
Michael PopokHOST
I just interviewed Democratic attorneys general, including Dana Nessel of Michigan, who said out loud in my interview, "It is impossible, impossible for the state of Michigan to comply with this order if the Supreme Court were to pull a fast one and find that it is constitutional." I don't think there are five votes on the United States Supreme Court to do this for Donald Trump.
Michael PopokHOST
Not mail-in ballots.
Michael PopokHOST
Not s- that's been going on since the Civil War.
Alicia MenendezHOST
Lisa, help me unpack what we heard from the AGs there.
Lisa RubinCORRESPONDENT
Yeah, Alicia, I want to differentiate between what you just heard from AG Dana Nessel of Michigan and what you heard from Rob Bonta of California and Josh Kahl of Wisconsin.
Lisa RubinCORRESPONDENT
What Dana Nessel was talking about is the president's fixation with past elections in her state and talking about efforts like we saw actually succeed in Fulton County to obtain voting information.
Lisa RubinCORRESPONDENT
That's dangerous enough because it undermines trust in the election and it maybe subjects certain people to investigation and prosecution.
Lisa RubinCORRESPONDENT
But what Bonta and Call are talking about is something even more frightening.
Jonathan S. TobinGUEST
Unfortunately, some of them are not only not waking up.
Jonathan S. TobinGUEST
I wrote a subsequent column about the Michigan attorney general, Dana Nessel, who actually gave a speech.
Jonathan S. TobinGUEST
She's Jewish and she's been worried.
Jonathan S. TobinGUEST
She didn't deny that that Abdul El-Sayed and his supporters want to destroy Israel.
Roger StoneHOST
Democrats have taken African-American votes for granted and they think they'll vote for them no matter what they say or do.
Roger StoneHOST
They're also growing more anti-Semitic and to the point where Michigan's Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel is scared for her own safety and could not attend the party convention.
Roger StoneHOST
Dana Nessel is an extreme leftist herself.
Roger StoneHOST
She's not a conservative Democrat, but even she is now scared by the radical fringe in her own party.
Roger StoneHOST
Al-Sayed represents the lurch to the far left by a Democrat party that increasingly is ignoring its long-stated constituency.
Jonathan S. TobinGUEST
So yes, Jewish Democrats have to wake up.
Jonathan S. TobinGUEST
Uh, unfortunately, some of them are not only not waking up, I, I wrote a subsequent column about, uh, the Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel, who actually gave a speech.
Jonathan S. TobinGUEST
You know, she's Jewish, and she's been worried.
Jonathan S. TobinGUEST
She didn't deny that, that, that Abdul El-Sayed and his supporters want to destroy Israel.
Ken LundbergHOST
Police say drugs and alcohol do not appear to have been factors, but speed might have contributed to the crash.
Ken LundbergHOST
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is pushing back against warrantless arrests by federal immigration agents.
Ken LundbergHOST
Michigan has joined 20 other states and the District of Columbia in a federal lawsuit challenging ICE enforcement tactics.
Ken LundbergHOST
A lower court previously ordered federal agents to stop making warrantless arrests without establishing that a suspect is a flight risk.
Tudor DixonHOST
You go around the state to find out what's happening in different areas.
Tudor DixonHOST
And, and Doug, I wanna go to you on this because obviously people are concerned with the crime, but they're not just concerned with crime, they're concerned with the government being weaponized against them, and we've seen that in Michigan from the t- uh, current attorney general, Dana Nessel.
Tudor DixonHOST
What are you hearing when you go around the state of Michigan that they've struggled with when it comes to who's currently in office and the idea of an Ellie Savitt getting into office?
Doug LloydGUEST
Well, thanks for having me here, Tudor.
Doug LloydGUEST
They, they just feel that anymore that the government is there for only certain people.
Doug LloydGUEST
A- and that's what we've seen during the last eight years.
Doug LloydGUEST
Dana Nessel took that office from one that I held with the highest prestige to the point where it just became partisan.
Doug LloydGUEST
And people are tired of it.
Michael PopokHOST
Let me just give you an idea.
Michael PopokHOST
I've got Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California, AG, AG Dana Nessel of Michigan, AG Nick Brown of the State of Washington, AG Jay Jones of Virginia, AG, uh, one after another, Lopez of Hawaii.
Michael PopokHOST
Uh, and you're gonna be watching them with me talking about voter intimidation, um, protection of the mail-in ballots, protection of voters' rights at polling places, protection of voter data.
Michael PopokHOST
It's gonna be an all-voter, hands on deck.
