President Donald Trump signed the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act into law, making certain acts of animal cruelty a federal felony. The legislation specifically targets "animal crushing" videos distributed across state lines or via the internet. The hosts discuss the disturbing nature of the fetish videos that prompted the bipartisan bill.
The Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act, effective June 29, 2010, prohibits the shipping of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco via the US Postal Service or common carriers like UPS and FedEx. Adam Curry expresses concern over the law as it affects his ability to receive Old Holborn tobacco from overseas. The hosts question the enforceability of the ban and whether tobacco is now being treated similarly to controlled substances.
