Law and Legitimacy

Good Morning, #LALiens! Thank you to all of you who joined the Sunday Special stream yesterday. We had a blast and a wonderful turnout.

Welcome to a Sunday Special of Law and Legitimacy! Norm and Mike will deliver an in-depth analysis of the indictment of former President and current leading candidate for President of the United States, Donald J. Trump in connection with allegations of improper conduct and obstruction related to classified documents held at the Mar-a-Lago estate. . There are many more counts included in the Southern District of Florida's indictment than previously thought, reported, or expected, totaling 31. After a thorough read of the indictment, Norm and Mike discuss the apparent merit of the government's case, the relative wisdom or lack thereof of the former president, and what the two expect the case to pivot upon as the procedural process takes shape. .

It is difficult to know exactly where to start when analyzing something that appears on its face to be of real historical consequence. First reported directly by former President Donald J. Trump late yesterday afternoon via his Truth Social account, the Department of Justice has communicated to President Trump's legal team that it has brought an indictment against their client in connection with the DOJ's months-long investigation into allegations of improper handling of classified information in the former President's possession at his Mar-a-Lago estate. If the morning seems still and the commentary somber, your eyes and your ears do not betray you. Norm and Mike in this stream attempt to peel back the calcified layers of narrative that have crusted a development barely 12 hours old. On the same day Congress receives testimony indicating the sitting President accepted millions in his capacity as Vice President in a quid pro quo to influence the governmental affairs of a foreign nation, which foreign nation now happens to be siphoning hundreds of billions from American taxpayers in a war effort for which America has yet to even generally agree on a purpose—the former President and leading candidate for President in the upcoming 2024 election has reportedly been indicted, for a second time. Yes, we expect at least two (2) additional indictments: Georgia and D.C. for election interference and seditious conspiracy respectively. That knowing does not blunt the blows, however. This is Law and Legitimacy. Join us.

Good morning, LALiens! Thank you for being here. We recognize what a blessing it is to earn a half-hour or so of your time every weekday. Mike was a night-owl last night, streaming with a couple of friends from a fantasy football league. And guess what? The Denver Nuggets smacked the Miami Heat in Miami to go up 2-1 in the NBA Finals series. Jokic is channeling the ghost of Russell Westbrook, becoming a walking triple-double before our very eyes. Today, Norm and Mike tackle a couple of very sensitive topics: › The Carolina Journal Reports: North Carolina's legislature is set to ban the use of ESG and ETI factors in investment criteria by and through two (2) bills, Senate Bill 737 and House Bill 750. Of particular note is how the bills respectively define and identify "Environmental, Social, and Governance" and "environmentally targeted investments requirements." › All Media Reports: Fox News has notified Tucker Carlson that his Tuesday show as published on Twitter is a violation of his contract with Fox, which has been reported to read in relevant part that Tucker is, "prohibited from rendering services of any type whatsoever, whether 'over the internet via streaming or similar distribution, or other digital distribution whether now known or hereafter devised.'" Norm and Mike dive into the legal merits and pose the questions: does Tucker wield enough support to pay any alleged damages claimed by Fox and still come out ahead? Would a court grant injunctive relief to Fox? › The scholarly totem that is The 1619 Project in conjunction with the pristine name of the Pulitzer Center have published a high school curriculum that purports to convert some traditional math classes into discussions of racial justice. Does this add up? Join us.

Yesterday's #AMA was very fun. We find ourselves humbled by the interest in this thing of ours each and every day. Thank you for your presence and thank you for trusting us with your time. We vow to always treat it with the respect and dignity it is owed, for as the topwater of American culture remains almost frivolously divisive we recognize that the fleetness of time is the tie that binds us all. Tuesday simply would not quit, would it? Legitimate news broke across nearly every major category of society yesterday. Norm & Mike convene here to address several items of particular note: › The PGA and LIV Golf's parent company, Public Investment Fund, announced a merger yesterday, June 6, 2023. In its official statement, PGA proclaimed the merger to be in the interests of unifying golf and an official end to the "disruption and distraction" plaguing the game of golf for the last three years. Having addressed the conflict on an older stream, Norm and Mike update and unpack the nature of how the forthcoming 'definitive agreement' between the parties will take shape. The ultimate question: who wins? › The Oregon Association of Scholars reports: At its 2023 Representative Assembly, Oregon's largest teacher's union, Oregon Education Association, announced the formation of a task force for the purpose of recommending changes to the OEA's By-Laws Committee related to membership dues. Among the stated changes, "a significant discount for BIPoC educators until the racial breakdown of [its] membership aligns with the racial breakdown of [its] student population." Equal protection, anyone? › New York City Mayor Eric Adams has introduced into the public consciousness the City's plan to begin paying New Yorkers to shelter migrants in their private homes. This comes as a result of the surge in asylum seeking migrants who have been located in New York City in recent months. What is the story here and what should concern New Yorkers the most? . Join us.

Good morning, #LALiens! We're glad to be here and grateful you could be here with us. Norm has been a busy, busy man. Not that Mike hasn't, but let's face it: Mike isn't on TV and stuff. Today, the duo limit the scope of LAL's daily stream to one (1) topic: › All major media outlets are reporting that Congress by way of James R. Comer, republican representative and chair of the House Oversight Committee, will hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt for Director's Wray's alleged failure to disclose information subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee concerning President Joe Biden's business dealings and entanglements with foreign governments prior to his election in 2020. There are a number of ways to skin this metaphorical cat, but there are some ways that are better than others. Under what authority does Congress issued a subpoena? What legal effect is given to that subpoena and what, if anything, is made complicated by the subpoenaed party's status as Director of a federal law enforcement agency—the executive branch—as it relates to legal obligations to comply? There is yet another interesting element to this saga. According to Representative Anna Paulina—republican representative and member of the House Oversight Committee—the FBI is "afraid" the whistleblower that in May alleged a Biden $5M bribery scheme will be killed if their identity is revealed. Questions abound. THEN—Norm and Mike transition into an #AMA segment where viewers and listeners can lob questions into the chat for one or both to answer. Join us.

Norm and Mike are hot off the weekend with a few key updates in Norm's world. You may have seen that Game 2 of the NBA Finals did not go to the Nuggets. Don't panic. With time, Mike provides some context for why Elon has made waves over the weekend. With time, though. Today: › Norm Pattis has filed the Appeal in the Alex Jones defamation lawsuit — The Courant reports. › Norm Pattis provides an update on the post-trial motions in the United States v. Joseph Biggs, et al., the trial in which four (4) members of the Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with the events of January 6, 2021. What are post-trial motions? › Connecticut has passed a law banning open carry. Guess who plans to file a constitutional challenge against it? Duh. Big Norm. Join us.

Good Morning and Happy Friday, you filthy, filthy animals. We're alive and live at 8:00 am eastern to solve all of the worlds ailments—Law and Legitimacy is the antidote. The question is: did you tell a friend? Should you tell another? What's the first thing you're going to tell that person when you recommend the #BestLawPodcast on the internet? We have some ideas . . . .

In #NBAFinals news, the Denver Nuggets took a pickaxe to the Miami Heat last night in Game 1. Easy claps, as they say in the business. Jimmy Buckets or Jimmy Tuck-Its? The Heat star took a backseat to the team's center in shot attempts. Nikola Jokic was cleaning glass, dishing times, and doing it from the free-throw line on the way to a triple-double. Good stuff from the Mile High Club. .

› It is #FreeSpeechFriday on Twitter. The Daily Wire and Matt Walsh have made sure of that, by publishing the documentary "What is a Woman?" for free viewing on the social media platform that supports free speech, the first amendment, and the objective nature of truth. Right, Elon? Elon? Earth to Elon . . .

› Artificial Intelligence: is the A.I. "Skynet" here already? — The RAeS Future Combat Air & Space Capabilities Summit was held May 23 and 24 at the Royal Aeronautical Society's headquarters in London. Among the leading takeaways was the case study of an artificial intelligence simulation in which an AI-enabled drone tasked with search and destroy orders of enemy surface-to-air missile sites made a remarkably dark, yet predictable decision: it attacked it's human operator. Rude stuff. › Mike put his cards on the table yesterday, offering his opinion that student-athletes should not be paid for participation in college sports. His real-life friends politely engaged the topic via Twitter. What is the true nature of Mike's position?

› Bill Cosby is in the news again. Victoria Valentino filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles County District Court yesterday for damages stemming from an alleged rape that occurred some 50 years ago. Valentino is a former Playboy model and has filed the lawsuit under a California law that is set to rescind at the end of 2023. Under the law—The Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act—plaintiff's are afforded a one-year "revive" window to file an action to recover damages alleged to have been suffered as a result of a claimed sexual assault that would have been otherwise barred after January 1, 2023. Cosby is an easy target. And long-time LALiens may recall Norm's interview with one Andrew Wyatt, Bill Cosby's publicist, from a couple of years ago. How is a defendant afforded due process of law in the face of claims so old that witnesses and records required for one to mount an adequate legal defense are no longer accessible?

Good Morning, LALiens! Yesterday's stream was invigorating. It was the type of stream that embodies the essence of Norm and Mike's shared interest and spiritual connection. If you have not already, go back and watch and/or listen. And share with one friend. Today, expect more of the same energy: › Sports Illustrated reports: Nick Saban supports the unionization of college athletes behind the proliferation of Name, Image, and Likeness ("NIL") opportunities for young athletes. The state-by-state picture reminds Mike of the fragmented market for beverage alcohol regulation. Moreover, high school athletic associations are faced with difficult questions. What is North Carolina doing? › CUNY Law School's valedictorian, Fatima Mohammed, gave her commencement speech just a few days ago. Don't you know, our existence in an of itself is revolutionary? Norm and Mike analyze the form and substance. › The Carolina Journal reports: House Bill 607 portends to ban compelled speech on college campuses. Against the backdrop of the imminent decision regarding the legality or lack thereof of affirmative action, what does House Bill 607 mean for the future of college admissions and the curricula to be deployed on public university campuses? With time, Norm and Mike discuss North Korea's addition as a member of the World Health Organization, and the University of Colorado's "Pride Office" website designating one's misgendering of another to be an "act of violence."

The cycle of frenzy is odd. America right now is tense. Even its fried chicken is political. It is worth wondering what life would be like if the urgency of our times weren't so amplified, if our shared history was not so kicked like a sheet to the bottom of the bed? Unrecognizable perhaps. Norm and Mike stream with the theme of guarding one's morale. We all should. Today: › The New York Times reports: "A.I. Poses 'Risk of Extinction', Industry Leaders Warn" + The Washington Post reports: "Elon Musk's Neuralink says it has FDA approval for human trials: What to know" › Sports Illustrated: Nick Saban says he supports the unionization of college athletes as a hedge against what he considers an imminent threat to college football behind the proliferation of Name, Image, and Likeness ("NIL") deals—declining parity. › The Carolina Journal reports: "NC private religious schools feel threatened after Nashville shooting"—Norm and Mike unpack the dark reality surrounding faith-driven primary educators in a post-Nashville shooting era.
