Covid in the Supreme Court
December 04, 2020 18:25 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBNew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued Covid restrictions that appeared before the Supreme Court in Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo. This case dealt with attendance restrictions for churches compared to the restrictions imposed on other businesses in relation to the Coronavirus pandemic. Joel Oster and Mackenzie Smith discuss the grounds of the restrictions, where Cuomo went wrong, and Covid fatigue. This episode gives an overview of recent Supreme Court rulings, election lawsuits, ...
Daily Update: Trump 2024 & Retroactive Rulings
December 03, 2020 15:42 - 2 minutes - 2.42 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Dec. 3rd, 2020 Yesterday, Trump addressed the nation from the White House. He made comments that if he was right about the election fraud, Biden couldn’t be president. Our concern is his use of “if I’m right.” You are supposed to file a lawsuit because you have facts, not because you have hope. Allegedly, Trump is using all of this as steam for a 2024 campaign. Additionally, the Supreme Court heard arguments of Ramos v. Louisiana last week. The court ruled...
Daily Update: William Barr on Voter Fraud
December 02, 2020 16:33 - 2 minutes - 2.66 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Dec. 2nd, 2020 Yesterday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr issued a statement that there is no substantial voter fraud that could change the election results. Meanwhile, Trump and his legal team are still pressing forward on their allegations, claiming the DOJ hasn’t investigated at all. Also, anyone else notice the resemblance between Giuliani and Grandpa Munster?
Daily Update: The FCC, Net Neutrality, & Big Tech
December 01, 2020 16:26 - 3 minutes - 2.94 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Dec, 1st, 2020 With the FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, stepping down, the conversation about net neutrality has sparked again. Apparently net neutrality has nothing to do with tennis which is a disappointment. However, net neutrality does make it possible for equal treatment from internet service providers. On a related note, we have also seen Big Tech step into a role that is not as neutral as it is supposed to be.
Daily Update: Church in Court & the Georgia Recount
November 30, 2020 22:42 - 4 minutes - 4.5 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Nov 30th, 2020 Last week, the Supreme Court ruled on whether Cuomo was allowed to prohibit church gatherings to 10 people or less. Considering that liquor stores where allowed to be open at capacity but churches that could seat 1,000 couldn’t even gather with 11, the Court found this mandate unconstitutional. Had the court ruled otherwise, we may have seen some churches start to turn water into wine in order to bring in some sales and their congregation...
The Election Lawsuits & Obamacare
November 25, 2020 20:23 - 59 minutes - 54.5 MBElection lawsuits are losing steam, Obamacare appeared before the Supreme Court, and Thanksgiving prep is well underway.

Both agree that the courts will not be changing much about this election and that if major fraud existed, we would've found it by now. Additionally, this episode overs the Affordable Care Act, whether there is standing, seve...
Daily Update: Thanksgiving Turkey & A Pardon
November 25, 2020 19:43 - 3 minutes - 3.38 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Nov 25th, 2020 With Thanksgiving just a day away, we’ve had the official Turkey Pardon from Trump in the rose garden yesterday. But Corn the turkey isn’t the only one to be receiving a pardon. Thanks to Article II, we know the president has the power to pardon those who have been convicted of a crime. Rumor has it that National Security Advisor Michael Flynn will soon be receiving said pardon from President Trump.
Daily Update: Trump's Transfer of Power
November 24, 2020 19:01 - 2 minutes - 2.54 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Nov 24th, 2020 Trump is finally conceding and allowing the GSA to proceed with the transfer of power. We are all a little surprised to see cooperation from him. Additionally, a wedding in New York incurs a $15,000 fine due to violating Covid mandates. Seems a bit harsh when you consider CA Gov. Newson’s recent maskless actions or Pelosi’s hair appointments, but we all know NYC is an expensive place.

Daily Update: Rudy Giuliani's Press Conference
November 23, 2020 18:26 - 3 minutes - 3.54 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Nov 23rd, 2020 Last week, Rudy Giuliani gave a press conference to remember. Even better than the one at Four Seasons Total Landscaping. Between the hair dye running down his face and his impersonations of My Cousin Vinny, you almost didn’t notice the completely baseless voter fraud claims. However, Tucker Carlson attempted to give Trump Lawyer, Sidney Powell, a chance to follow up on her strong, democracy-threatening claims, but she refuses to present ...
Daily Update: Covid Lockdowns in Court
November 19, 2020 20:45 - 2 minutes - 2.61 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Nov 19th, 2020 Covid lockdown controversy comes before the Supreme Court again. This time, the case deals with who is exempt from Covid restrictions, brought on by a Roman Catholic Diocese and Orthodox synagogues in Brooklyn. These religious organizations are challenging Cuomo’s order to limit gatherings to 10-25 people. Previously SCOTUS has thrown out such cases because the justices did not feel they were qualified to make this call. This time around,...
Daily Update: Rudy Giuliani & Some Confidential Documents
November 18, 2020 19:45 - 2 minutes - 2.76 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Nov 18th, 2020 After Giuliani’s guest appearance in the Borat sequel, we know he has impeccable judgment. This continues to be evident as he has taken the lead on Trump’s legal actions in PA. I mean, $20,000 a day?! For that stellar judgement?! Worth it. Additionally, Joel reviews what happened with the confidential documents of the grand jury proceedings post Mueller Report that the Judiciary Committee requested pre-Biden win. Apparently no one wants t...
Daily Update: Georgia, College Admissions Scandals, & Taylor Swift
November 17, 2020 17:24 - 2 minutes - 2.73 MBDe-Briefing the Law, Daily Update, Nov 17th, 2020 People are thinking about moving to Georgia to help out with the Senate, thanks to Andrew Yang. Not sure that’s a foolproof strategy, but we’ll see. Additionally, we’ve seen another college admissions scandal join the ranks with Aunt Becky, this time by Tech CEO Jack Zhao. And finally, Taylor Swift finds a loophole to counter the people that won’t sell her the rights to her own music.

Scott Briscoe's Funny Yet True Legal Tips
October 23, 2020 14:40 - 41 minutes - 38 MBIn this episode, Joel talks to Scott Briscoe, a criminal lawyer with years of experience and outrageous stories. He has been dishing out free legal advice online for quite some time. However, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill legal tips. These are oddly specific pieces of advice on practices to avoid if you don’t want to serve time, based on his own 23 years in criminal law. For example, “hold off on wearing your ‘Out on Bail’ shirt the day you commit a crime, unless you prefer a little iro...
The Confirmable ACB
October 16, 2020 16:57 - 51 minutes - 47 MBThis week, Amy Coney Barrett has been in the spotlight as she undergoes her confirmation hearings for possible appointment to the Supreme Court. With the presidential election less than 3 weeks away, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the timing of ACB's nomination. In the hearings this week, there have been long speeches made by senators, many questions asked about Roe and the ACA, and a refreshing lack of drama like what surrounded the 2018 Kavanaugh hearings. In this episod...
Contested Elections and Fear Mongering
October 09, 2020 17:09 - 56 minutes - 51.8 MBAfter recent debates, we can't deny that fighting is highly prevalent in our elections. Presidential candidates have been known for hurling insults and creating fear by inciting thoughts of the worst case scenario. But, this isn't new. That has been going on since America's first election. Take these 1800's presidential candidates' insults for example: “If you elect the other guy, we would see our wives and daughters the victims of legal prostitution.” Or “My opponent would create a natio...

Trying to tell every recruit "yes football is a violent sport. But have you seen the briefcase of that attorney? We're scared!" If you are of the mind that the Big 10 rooted its decision in the findings of the medical and scientific communities, let me remind you - they cancelled football ... and track. Seriously Big 10, you can figure out how to gas your car safely but you can't figure...
De-Briefing the Law - Kraft's nude videos
August 28, 2020 19:06 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBRobert Kraft’s solicitation charges are in doubt after the court throws out the videos. No word if Hoody has had them deleted yet. Trump’s personal twitter account is now before the US Supreme Court. Finally, we can get to the bottom of this Kafafee. I hope I am using that made-up word correctly. And Steve Bannon is charged with fraud over the Go Fund the Wall account. Which does beg the question – who donated to that cause? Isn't that like, “Hey, I don’t pay enough in taxes. Why not pay mo...

It might be the last sporting event of our lifetime. But now the Supreme Court justices are taking off their work robes and putting on their leisure robes. Heck, who am I kidding? They have been working from home this entire time. I really doubt the Notorious RBG was putting on her doily every day while officing from home. But I am going to assum...

July 03, 2020 05:00 - 35 minutes - 33 MBToday, I have a special Guest as Dr. Jim Garlow joins me to talk about the benefits of humor. I think it is safe to say that currently, stress abounds. Can I light off fireworks without offending someone? If I go out and buy groceries without a mask, will I be killing more people than Hannibal Lecter? And most importantly, when will football be back on?! Oh yea, The Chiefs finally get a franchise Super Bowl winning quarterback, and then football ends. So with all of this stress, we need to ...
