Summary

The leading weekly law and politics podcast -- LegalAF -- produced by MeidasTouch and hosted by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, is back for another hard-hitting, thought-provoking look at this week’s most compelling developments at the intersection of law and politics, aka Episode 17. The hosts first bring their healthy-brand of skepticism to the $10mm “wrongful death” suit to be filed by the family of January 6th insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt. Next, Ben and Popok bring the LAF listeners fully up to speed on the trials and tribulations of New York’s “Love Governor” Andrew Cuomo accused by 11 (!) former (and current) female employees of sexual misconduct. Then, the hosts explore SCOTUS’ recent attack on the CDC’s nationwide residential eviction ban, and the Garland DOJ’s intervention to oppose the Realtors’ efforts to overturn a limited CDC eviction moratorium based on rising Delta data. Talking about the Delta variant, Ben and Michael first examine the legality of Florida Governor DeSantis’ ban of vaccine passports and its impact on the cruise industry, and his ban on mandatory masks for school children even in the face of rising infection and death rates among children in his state. The Analysis Friends then drill down on Texas’ Governor Abbott’s attempts to interfere with the federal government’s “supreme” power to regulate immigration and transport (and detain) immigrants by claiming some feigned concern with the spread of COVID by immigrants, while simultaneously banning face masks and undermining vaccination in his state. Episode 17 ends with a sobering discussion about the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (“JASTA”) federal case filed this past week in New York by 115 “Gold Star” families against major global banks for allegedly profiting from terrorist organizations and governments banking with them, and thereby helping to fund attacks on Americans. Special Easter Egg and Programming Note: Ben gives Popok and the listeners the good news that “Legal AF” is leaving the “MeidasTouch Podcast” nest and moving to its own Medias-produced podcast channel starting with next Sunday’s episode.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Midas Touch Legal AF podcast. If it's Sunday, it is legal AF. And I'm not
0:15.8	worried one bit that we are going to get sued for that tagline over there because it's
0:23.2	true. And you really can't sue over something that is factual, that everybody knows that
0:29.8	if it's Sunday, it just is legal AF. I sit, I think in fact, they've been saying it before
0:35.3	we even started legal AF. Popuck, I think hundreds of years ago, people were saying,
0:40.8	if it's Sunday, it is legal AF. I am Ben. My cell is joined. As always, by my co-host,
0:47.3	your favorite, Midas brother, Michael Popuck, of Zupano Patricia, of Popuck. How are you, Popuck?
0:53.1	I'm doing really great. Did we get a cease and desist letter I didn't know about from
0:57.0	some media giant? No, I'm just preempting the fact that human civilization knew if it's Sunday,
1:04.5	it's legal AF and our mark preceded any other marks. And in the United States, you might as well
1:12.0	get into a little bit of trademark law from the outset. It is not the first to file the mark for
1:19.0	intellectual property rights in the United States. Although that is important proof and
1:24.0	indicia of use of the mark, but first use is the gold standard of American intellectual property
1:32.9	law. Unlike you go to other countries like China, the moment someone gets famous in the United
1:39.2	States, and I represent a lot of individuals with great deals of notoriety here in the United
1:45.0	States. The first thing they do in China, because it's first to file, is they run to the courthouse to
1:50.0	try to file, you know, someone else's name over there. And you have to have all of these contested
1:55.4	disputes over everything, which is a lot of disputes between American Chinese over intellectual
2:01.4	property and the Chinese government over intellectual property. But how about that Popuck throwing,
2:05.6	coming out hot, throwing out law right from the intro? I was, I was as eager to hear your analysis
2:11.3	on that as our listeners. That was good. I just don't want to, I don't want to get sued over it,
2:16.2	but I like it. I think it's accurate. I think since we moved now, it seems like a lifetime ago
