Law and Legitimacy

Norm and Mike are engineering a new segment for the LAL faithful, called "Follow Through Friday" wherein cases that have been covered before will be updated, case brief style. Listeners should look forward to a precise command of fact patterns, attendant law, and key issues related to the cases and controversies covered. Due to the developing nature of high profile cases, FTF will highlight those cases with notable developments within their respective procedural timelines. Day 17 of the United States v. Joe Biggs, et al trial is upon us. Norm primes the audience for what the day is likely to hold and what it means moving forward. Steven Crowder responded to Jeremy Boring's response. Mike believes the emotions are clouding and distracting from the central issue within this now fraught controversy. Alec Baldwin has been charged in the fatal shooting of a set employee during the filming of the movie, "Rust." Twice. What does New Mexico law say about involuntary manslaughter?

And are we at the end of the Dobbs leak investigation at SCOTUS? Norm and Mike share disappointment over the seeming reality that the leaker(s) will never be identified.

One of America's most prominent conservative media voices, Steven Crowder, published a video in which he demanded that "Con Inc." should "do better" in relation to values it upholds by way of contract with its talent and creators.

The context? Steven Crowder is a media free agent. Formerly under contract with The Blaze, Crowder and his agent have waded into the waters of free agency and solicited deals from various conservative media outlets in effort to find Crowder's next suitable business partner home. His video, however, did not mention or reveal any company or individual names.

Jeremy Boring, Co-CEO of the Daily Wire, subsequently published a de facto response video to Crowder's, in which Boring makes the case for why DW offered the deal it did, and perhaps why Crowder is wrong not only for his methodology but for his characterization that DW protects and upholds the interests of Big Tech against the larger interests of conservative talent.

Who is right?

Week 3 of United States v. Joe Biggs begins, but it is only Day 2 of the prosecution's evidence. Norm talks about what the week will have in store.

Norm and Mike discuss an article from the Washington Post opining that the House Select Committee to Investigate January 6's efforts were lackluster and that the Committee caved to republicans and big tech.

The duo also talk about the split realities of an attorney in the midst of a case being covered by the press. Should LAL have a weekly segment on Understanding the Evidence?

Finally, Mike recalls an article that suggested that young men should be regulars at at least two (2) local bars. Ever the loner, Norm is interested to understand what benefits there might be to such a proposition.

Workers work. Strivers strive. It may be a holiday, but LAL is live on Mondays. Right at 7:45.

Norm and Mike convene on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to recap from yesterday's livestream with Laura Loomer, to discuss SCOTUS's grant of cert for Counterman v. Colorado and the nature of the "true threat" exception to the first amendment's guarantee of free speech, and to scratch the surface of the facially preposterous H.R. 61 titled "Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023."

Friday the Thirteenth! We make our own luck around here. Norm's suspension from the practice of law was temporarily stayed late yesterday afternoon by a Connecticut appellate court. What is next in United States v. Joseph R. Biggs et al.?

Bryan Kohberger's preliminary hearing has been delayed until June 26, 2023, after his defense waived Kohberger's right to a speedy trial. What is the strategy here?

President Biden is under the microscope for his possession of classified documents as a second batch was located in his home garage. A special counsel has been appointed. We thus have the Classified War, as we acknowledge the special counsel appointment to former President Donald Trump's treatment of classified materials. What is the law here?

It may be the middle of January, but things are hot in our nation's Capitol. Norm is still in D.C. awaiting the court's decision in whether he will remain as defense counsel to Proud Boy and January Sixer, Joe Biggs. Michael has a wager. What's yours?

Norm and Mike discuss:

› Robert F. Kennedy and the Children's Health Defense Fund et al.'s lawsuit against the Washington Post, The Associated Press, Reuters, and the British Broadcasting Corp. alleging violations of antitrust laws and the first amendment › The Federal Trade Commission's new rule proposal to ban the use of the legal mechanism widely known as the non-compete agreement

Greg Abbot handed President Biden a letter during the latter's visit to the border. Jim Jordan is the Judiciary Committee Chairman, and will chair the House's newly formed subcommittee designed to probe the "weaponization" of the federal government. Joshua Browder, CEO of DoNotPay, wants his AI to argue in front of the Supreme Court of the United States. And he is offering $1M to the attorney that brings the case and acts as a meatsuit.

He's back. Jimmy Vallee is the managing director and co-founder of Valhil Capital. He's appeared on LAL several times before, most notably on LAL #058. For a refresher, hop back to that episode and check it out.

Jimmy hangs out with Norm and Mike on a Rumble livestream to discuss blockchain, cryptocurrency, Ripple, and XRP. In particular, this episode focuses on the current status of SEC v. Ripple and Valhil Capital's amicus brief in support of Ripple in its case against the SEC. The central question: is XRP a security?

We think not. Most you of think not. And there is plenty of reason for that position. The only problem is that the SEC does not agree. What are the consequences of that disagreement? And what are the broader implications of SEC v. Ripple on the future of blockchain and cryptocurrency development.

Has the FTX fallout created an insurmountable hurdle for the use case for crypto?
