The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawl... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The People vs. Big Oil, Part 2: Chevron Strikes Back
Q: I'd love to talk through some of the things that came out in the trial, like they accuse you of bribery. I mean, how did that play out?
Donziger explains that the bribery allegations were tied to testimony by a former Ecuadorian judge who admitted receiving money from Chevron, but he emphasizes that this was used to try to delegitimize the case, not proof of his own wrongdoing. He also notes that the judge's credibility issues were exploited in court, while stressing that the core environmental and social harms remained the central focus.
Surveillance and Sabotage on the Dakota Access Pipeline
Q: What are they willing to do about it?
They discuss escalating their actions in response to the unfinished pipeline.
