The US Love Affair With Bloodthirsty Murderers

America’s Lawyer E64: The corporate vultures from Wall Street are harassing wildfire victims in Maui, begging them to sell their property so that greedy bankers can make a fortune off of it. The Biden administration is trying to kill a lawsuit brought by young activists fighting for a better planet, with the administration arguing in court documents that there is no Constitutional right to a “stable climate”. And a Republican Presidential candidate says that a conservative media outlet told him that if he wants to come on their shows, he’s going to have to pay up. All that, and more is coming up, so don’t go anywhere – America’s Lawyer starts right now.

As residents in Maui sift through the ashes of the wildfire, they're being harassed by corporate thugs on Wall Street who want to buy up their properties for as little as possible. New reports have confirmed that residents are being inundated with calls from realtors and investors and residents are absolutely livid, and they should be. You have these people basically walking around on bones right now, these people showing up. It's disgusting. You know, of course when it comes to Wall Street, that's always who I'm across the table with, and whether it's a pharmaceutical case, environmental case, fraud case, one of the biggest cases in the country, the opioid case, I just finished, the PFAS case I just finished, tobacco, which originated in this law firm. We're always on the other side of these creeps. And sometimes it's hard to get the public to understand that we're dealing with real sociopaths. I mean, if you had a DSM 5 and you're doing a checklist, is this person a sociopath? When you start really drilling down on it, you'd find that they are. What kind of person shows up that these people have lost everything? They lost their family, they lost their friends, they lost their house, they lost the clothes on their back and people showing up, hey, can I buy your property? Who the hell does that?

And they're doing it as one resident said, as the cadaver dogs are running around trying to find their family members and their cell phones are ringing, hey, uh, would you be interested? We understand you just had a recent event. Maybe you could sell us your house. And these people are saying, I don't know where my relatives are. This is absolutely disgusting, as one resident put it to even be getting these phone calls. And look, you and I sat here four days ago saying, predicting that this was going to happen. And sure enough, immediately following that, all of these Wall Street vultures or hyenas, or jackals, whatever you want to call 'em, it's inhuman what they're doing.

The first day we, you and I agreed, the best thing this governor can do is create a moratorium. I don't know much about this governor. I really like this guy. The more I know about him, the more I like him. He's a doctor. He has a huge history of doing good things for those islands. He just, you know, he's just a, sounds like a good guy with a good plan. And he says, look, I'm not gonna let this happen. I'm not gonna let these vultures come in and sweep up this property, which they've always wanted to do.

Yeah.

They've always wanted to bulldoze the place. It was like, same thing we saw after Katrina in New Orleans. Right? Same kind of deal. We saw the same thing happen. We have lived through this, haven't we?

We have lived through these folks coming in, folks, I mean, these people from Wall Street and Chicago and Miami and LA coming in, hey, we're gonna build a better life for you. It is the most disgusting. So this governor says, hell no, you're not. As a matter of fact, I'm working on a moratorium. Now, if I really analyze it, the moratorium is gonna have constitutional issues. So what. You can hold it up in court for years, and that's all they need to do. He's saying, look, don't leave this island. Don't go to the mainland. There's no reason for you to do that.
