  • Resumen

  • It’s Hump Day! And Sam is live from the Mass Torts Conference in Las Vegas! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the build of Hurricane Milton as it approaches Florida, Harris’ campaign for the right, Biden’s commitment to Israel, DOJ vs. Google, Trump’s blocking of a Kavanaugh FBI investigation, abortion bans, Boeing machinist’s ongoing labor action, Elons cucking to Lula, the ever-crumbling Eric Adams Administration, and the GOP’s mass investment in anti-trans attacks, before parsing a little more thoroughly through the impending threat of Hurricane Milton. After touching on the important distinction between mass torts and class action lawsuits, Sam is joined by Attorney Kim Adams with Levin Pappantonio to discuss her ongoing litigation against the Canadian porn company formerly known as MindGeek (now Aylo) for encouraging, facilitating, and helping to disseminate child pornography on their site, unpacking the law (Section 230) that protects platforms from legal liability for third-party content and the tension between that and the active production, curation, boosting, and highlighting of said liable content, not to mention the heightened responsibility for pornography companies to be aware of the content the platform and sponsor. After expanding on the extensive community of impacted parties, be they plaintiffs or potential class members, and exploring the distinction between hosting and publishing, Adams summarizes the case’s state right now. Next, Andy Birchfield from Beasley Allen joins, diving right into the ever-ongoing case against Johnson & Johnson for their manufacturing, sale, and promotion of their Talc-based baby powder formula despite internal awareness of the presence of asbestos and the devastating medical impact it can have on mothers and their children, with a particular focus on J&J knowingly marketing this toxic powder as a feminine hygiene product and the resulting development of ovarian cancer amongst consumers. Next, Birchfield dives deep into J&J’s implementation of the “Texas Two-Step” legal maneuver to avoid responsibility, splitting off all of its liabilities from its assets into a separate company, before immediately moving said company to the asbestos-liability haven of North Carolina, where it would attempt to declare bankruptcy and render any attempts at accountability or compensation null. Walking through the circle of attrition that this has created in the courts, as we enter a third attempt to declare bankruptcy, Andy and Sam wrap up with the future of this case and the role public pressure, congressional legislation, and the questionable morals of J&J leadership all play in hopefully bringing this to a close. Sam and Emma also expand on the developing story about the Trump White House’s obstruction of an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh’s allegations of sexual assault. The crew watches Sean Hannity compares abortion restrictions to the draft before chatting with attorneys Brian Barr of Levin Papantonio and the legendary Ben Crump about their representation of Roger Fortson, a U.S. airman shot to death by police. They then discuss the back-and-forth sniping between Kamala Harris and Ron DeSantis over taking a phone call regarding hurricane assistance, and Benjamin Netanyahu benevolently addressing the people of Lebanon (major sarcasm intended).
