TML knows what podcast listeners want to hear about, and delivers – subjects include:--- Should America embrace Pete Buttigieg’s view, legalization of every drug, from grass, to meth, to heroin?--- Should the feds be bumping the tobacco purchase age to 21?--- Can we trust Twitter and Facebook to censor political opinions?--- Your devices are spying on you – should you go through life not trusting Alexa?--- The gig economy – do laws saying everybody with a side hustle is an “employee” help, or hurt?--- Should colleges be dumping SAT and ACT tests as a tool to fight discrimination? --- How can governments regulate “ghost guns” made by 3-D printers?--- Is facial recognition just another tool like fingerprints, or does it spell the end of privacy?--- Should Amazon face lawsuits for sales of unsafe products, when they just collect a slice as middleperson?

MARCIA CLARK LOOKS BACK AT THE OJ SIMPSON MURDER TRIAL
00:40:12
The “trial of the century” resulted in “the worst jury verdict of the century.” How did it happen? What better source to consult than Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor. Why did a downtown LA jury vote for OJ? And, did the DA’s office blow the case by insisting that the trial be held in downtown LA, instead of a courthouse in West LA, where the crime occurred? Clark’s answers may shock you.

THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET ABOUT HOW THE DA BLEW THE OJ SIMPSON MURDER TRIAL
00:16:18
This year is the 30th anniversary of the not guilty verdict in O.J. Simpson’s murder case. How did a guy facing overwhelming evidence of guilt beat the rap?
In this report you’ll learn how the Los Angeles County DA had a sure win if he’d just chosen to try the case in West Los Angeles, where the crime occurred.
Instead, overconfidence and a desire for a conviction by a diverse jury led the DA to commit a colossal blunder.

WILL JOE BIDEN PARDON HIMSELF AND MOVE TO GREENLAND, AMERICA’S 51ST STATE?
00:40:00
Are we in for the ultimate in irony? Biden pardons himself, after Dems blasted a presidential self-pardon as illegal? And if he DOESN’T pardon himself and Trump’s DOJ indicts him, he relies on SCOTUS’ “presidential immunity” decision, after Dems blasted it as wrong-headed?
Plus, Canada as our 51st state is a stretch – but maybe Denmark wants to unload Greenland. Looks like we’d need to pay a cool $1 trillion. That’d buy a lot of pastries.

SHOULD WE DUMP ANTI-NUDITY LAWS?
00:38:50
Gloria Allread is back, and – shocker – she’s angry! Her client was bounced off a Delta flight for trying to soar braless.
Gloria’s got us thinking: Why are guys the only ones can stroll around topless in public? San Francisco has experimented with dropping its anti-nudity ordinance – should we give that a try? Or should we just face facts, our society considers women’s breasts to be sex objects – manboobs, not so much.

ARE PEOPLE REALLY ROOTING FOR INSURANCE CEO ASSASSINATIONS?
00:39:37
Just when we thought toxic partisanship couldn’t get any worse, we have an epidemic of people saying, “Yes, but . . . .” Yes, executing business executives is bad, BUT my goodness folks are frustrated over the handling of health insurance claims. Really? How about no ifs, ands or buts: Murder is inexcusable. Maybe we all agree on that, full stop. Then, pick another day to talk about how to reform the health care system.

PARDON-GATE: IF YOU THINK THE BIDEN LEGACY HAS HIT ROCK BOTTOM, WHAT ABOUT A JANUARY 20 SELF-PARDON?
00:30:29
Who doesn’t have compassion for Joe Biden – he loses one son to cancer, then almost loses another one to addiction and prison. But a TEN-YEAR PARDON, the start of which was 90 days before Hunter joined the Burisma board?
And, does this guarantee Trump will pardon all 645 people sentenced for January 6 crimes?

TRUMP AND SMOLLETT ARE SMILING – WILL THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS BE HAPPY TOO?
00:29:27
It’s the season for happy criminal defendants! Jussie Smollett’s conviction was tossed because prosecutors failed to honor deal. Jack Smith threw in the towel on TrumpLaw. And the Menendez Brothers hope they’ll be walking free in January.

WILL DEMOCRATS PRESSURE JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR TO QUIT, SO BIDEN CAN REPLACE HER BEFORE TRUMP 2.0?
00:29:42
Hey they’ve got seven weeks before the GOP takes over the White House and the Senate. Dems are saying we can do this – Sotomayor quits, Biden nominates a replacement, and the Dem-controlled Senate installs her before January.
One possible catch: SHE MAY NOT BE READY TO RETIRE. Biden’s likely response: Uh, you do remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg, right? DO YOU WANT THE CONSERVATIVES TO HAVE A 7-2 MAJORITY??

DOES WINNING THE ELECTION GIVE TRUMP A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD?
00:31:18
On November 26 Donald Trump has a date with destiny – he’s due in the Stormy Daniels hush money courtroom to hear his sentence, following his conviction by a jury of 34 felony counts. Does his election win protect him from incarceration?
And, why did Kamala lose? I’ll tell you about the two big blunders that doomed her campaign.

Will Trump's Criminal Cases Continue Even If He Wins and Orders His New AG to Dismiss the Prosecutions?
00:24:31
People assume that a Trump win means dismissal of the federal criminal cases pending against him.
But, not so fast! When prosecutors agreed to drop charges against General Michael Flynn, the judge said no!
Yes, judges may bring in new prosecutors to keep fighting, if the think “justice” or “public interest” requires it.
