Trial of Jesus Part 1, Ruby Franke sentenced and Fani Willis in trouble

March 15, 2024 13:51 - 1 hour - 92.6 MB

The actual time she will spend behind bars will be determined by the Utah Parole Board. Chris unpacks what that actually means.   Fani Willis is in big trouble. Joel is convinced she perjured herself on the stand. If she were married and did what she did, no partner would buy her story. You don't go over to someone's house at midnight, stay until the morning, and then claim to ...

SCOTUS puts Trump back on the ballot, Presidential immunity and State of the Union

March 08, 2024 16:44 - 1 hour - 84.8 MB

A unanimous Supreme Court ruled that Colorado cannot kick a presidential candidate off of a ballot. Which begs the question – what exactly were these Colorado judges thinking? That each individual state can boot off it’s political enemy from a national election? Do these judges not have any ability to anticipate bad consequences? If your ruling on a political hot button issue results in a 9-0 beat down from the U.S. Supreme Court, that calls into question whether you should still possess car...

Ranking the Chiefs among the dynasties and a drunken parade turns tragic

February 16, 2024 19:01 - 1 hour - 88.8 MB

The Chiefs are now officially a dynasty. But where do they rank among the other dynastic NFL champs? Of course, the Chiefs are still adding to their case. While Kyle Shanahan messed up gloriously by electing to take the ball in OT, he still finished ahead of 30 other NFL head coaches.  Finally, the Chiefs celebration turned sour when gun shots rang out at the conclusion of the parade. Chris and Joel discuss where the Chiefs hold some moral responsibility by fostering a drunk fest with over...

SCOTUS favorable to Trump on ballot case, appellate court said Trump not immune for Jan 6 and a Chief’s blowout?

February 09, 2024 18:33 - 1 hour - 101 MB

The only issue left in the Trump Ballot case is whether the decision will be 9-0 or 8-1. But regardless, the Court was in agreement that political mayhem will ensue if each state were allowed to cast off a presidential candidate. I sense an insurance commercial here somewhere. But one thing is certain – politics tends to follow the circling of the drain approach. Once one state is allowed to throw out the opposing political party’s leading candidate, the others will follow as our presidentia...

This game highlights the realities when you start a QB in his...

Supreme Court’s ethics code and Taylor Swift to the Super Bowl

November 17, 2023 17:28 - 1 hour - 97.5 MB

The Supreme Court adopted an ethics code. Don't get too excited. Apparently, it's just a written down variation of the rules it was already following, which includes no enforcement mechanisms. But Joel explains why this is still a big deal. Also concerning to Joel was whether Taylor Swift would be able to make it to the Super Bowl considering she will be performing a concert in Tokyo the day before. Christ reassures Joel that indeed, Taylor can make it back in time. And Chis and Joel expla...

Jenna Ellis takes a plea of convenience, Lincoln’s last murder trial and Harmon murder part 2

October 27, 2023 12:26 - 1 hour - 106 MB

Jenna Ellis, Trump's former attorney, has taken a plea deal in the Fulton County RICO trial.  These plea deals guarantee that the prosecution will have witnesses to call that will truthfully say what Trump was told and what Trump did. But what these plea deals do not do is magically transform the charges into actual crimes. No matter how bad the politically motivated DA wishes otherwise, challenging an election with a hail Mary legal argument is not a criminal enterprise. If anyone takes a ...

Sidney Powell takes a plea, texting during mass murder and Murdaugh’s new trial

October 20, 2023 16:21 - 1 hour - 88.1 MB

Sidney Powell takes a plea deal in the Georgia RICO case. This represents the ugly in our legal system. Over prosecution leads to forced plea deals as defending yourself is worse than the plea.   In what can only be described as the signs of the times, 2 surviving college students were texting each other while a murderer went through their house killing 4 of their roommates. 911 anyone?   And Alex Murdaugh is headed toward a new trial. The County Clerk allegedly told jurors they didn't n...

Trump trial update, Santos indicted, KU’s wrist slap and Supreme Court hears gerrymandering case

October 13, 2023 15:59 - 1 hour - 109 MB

Trump's civil trial will take an unusual twist next week when the prosecution calls convicted perjurer Michael Cohen to the stand. Is calling a convicted liar to the stand proof positive your case is more about political theater than law? George Santos is indicted and under ethical inquiry. Does this mean he fits right in at Congress? KU was punished by the NCAA this week because Adidas gave a KU player some money. How ironic is it that KU is being penalized by the NCAA for violating a rul...

Donald Trump Trial insanity, Kevin_McCarthy ousted and Trevor Bauer gets redemption from crazy groupie.

October 06, 2023 16:35 - 59 minutes - 82 MB

So many things to break down on the Donald Trump trial.  Keven McCarthy is ousted and Joel and Chris go head to head on their beliefs.  Trevor Bauer was suspended from MLB due to accusations of sexual assault and returned with a defamation suit.  Wow, what  discovery uncovered.   

Debate mayhem, MSU fires coach before hearing, and more football picks

September 29, 2023 17:24 - 1 hour - 94.3 MB

Is it time to abandon the presidential debates? Lincoln and Douglas are rolling in their graves after this week's circus. We are electing the leader of the free world based on who gets the best zinger during a debate. The quote of the night goes to Vivak Ramaswamy who said, "stopped talking while I'm interrupting." That's a mic drop moment.   Michigan State University fired its head football coach Mel Tucker. But the timing of the firing might have painted MSU into a legal corner that will...

Delphi murders, Ruby Franke, Tim Ballard and Deion to the Raiders?

September 22, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 101 MB

Murder is back in business. In the Dephi murder case, new allegations were made that the killings were part of a pagan cult ritual. Crime TV just couldn't be happier. Ruby Franke got her fame on YouTube due to her unconventional parenting style. Ironically, she is now in jail facing serious charges based on that style. It is safe to say that parenting by duct tape should never be trending. And you heard it here first - will Prime Time Deion Sanders be the next head coach for the Las Vegas ...

NFL takeover of NCAA, NFL over-reactions and hot takes and Impeachment

It what has become as part of politics and the convention strippers, impeachment is back for another season. Joel explains why impeachment works, and is here to stay. Just remember - don't sue the messenger. The NFL floats the idea of taking over college football as a minor league system. Is this just testing the waters to see the public's reaction? Or will we soon be seeing the Alabama Cowboys v. the Ohio State Patriots? A study is out that shows judicial sentencing is harsher on weeks fo...

Prime Time Deion Sanders, Murdaugh’s new trial and a bad dog reaches Supreme Court

September 07, 2023 14:46 - 1 hour - 91.1 MB

Coach Prime Time Deion Sanders might be the best athletic participant ever. Chris makes his case, and a reluctant Joel quasi agrees. He has had an amazing career, and his coaching career has been nothing short of spectacular. Who else compares? Smoke some turkey this weekend, because it's back to the Big 8! Nebraska v. Colorado. This game promises to be must watch TV, but it will make you miss the good old days. And yes, Joel is old. In legal news, Alex Murdaugh's attorneys have filed a mo...

August 21, 2023 16:52 - 1 hour - 111 MB

Stop me if you've heard this before - but Trump has been indicted. Chris and Joel discuss why this poses the most danger to Trump than the previous indictments. Michael Oher is saying the Blind Side story was false, and he was never adopted. He is suing for the economic damages he suffered from a loving family taking him in, treating him as a son, and paving the way for him to earn millions in the NFL. It also might be worth noting that Michael Oher has a new book out that needs free public...

Trump’s latest indictment and college conference realignment: Greed, greed and more greed

August 04, 2023 23:21 - 57 minutes - 78.8 MB

In a play right out of the Democratic party playbook, Trump has been indicted again. According to Joel, this is the most laughable indictment yet as the prosecutor didn't even bring the charge everyone was looking for - inciting a riot. According to Chris, keep the indictments coming as Trump has yet to learn how to tell the truth. Sadly, both Joel and Chris agree that Trump egregiously lied to the American public about the 2020 election. Chris and Joel debate how the law should treat serial...

July 28, 2023 15:47 - 1 hour - 97.2 MB

Chris and Joel discuss what is up in Bidenland. A Florida judge gets reprimanded for hugging the lawyers after a death penalty case. Do we want our judicial system run by humans ... or AI?

The allegedly conservative Supreme Court upheld the Voting Rights Act and struck down Alabama's congressional district boundary lines. To which Donald Trump responded by saying, "there's a Voting Rights Act?" Who knew?

ChatGPT as your lawyer and Supreme Court preview

June 02, 2023 12:30 - 1 hour - 85.2 MB

A lawyer used ChatGPT to write a brief and got busted. This is not high school. He didn't get busted for using ChatGPT to write the brief, he got in trouble when he essentially made "Chat" lead counsel. It is now Supreme Court sweeps season. No one is getting voted off the Supreme Court island, though that could be fun. But this is the time where the Court grabs the public's attention by releasing all of its big decisions from the previous year. And there are some big cases yet to be decide...

Bryan Kohberger was arraigned for stabbing four college kids. Every one wants to know why he did it. But at his arraignment, he just stood silent and wouldn't even plead.

Expert and non-experts alike are in agreement that this sudden change of story will do nothing to hurt his cre...
