one am proud of the nfl uh they've just uh released some new verbiage uh for the nfl do you have the
00:01:37.160
nfl music let me just give it to you football football is lesbian i'm not making this up by the
00:01:46.340
way this is their actual football is lesbian football is beautiful football is queer football is life

00:02:35.580
director uh told out sports i'm proud of the clear message this commercial sends to the nfl's lgbtq
00:02:44.860
plus fans this game is unquestionably for you i'll be playing that first line over and over
00:02:51.820
in my head all season football is lesbian okay all right um i didn't know that the game had sexual
0.99
00:03:03.080
preferences uh actually football glenn is known as the most lesbian of balls
1.00
00:03:08.780
it's a fact hmm hmm huh okay all right um you know i think that uh the football fan
0.97
00:03:25.560
could be lesbian straight queer uh you know non-binary the football fan can be anything
00:03:35.160
but football itself is a football is a game and it should remain that way i'm just i'm just thinking
00:03:44.200
well you can't say you can't say football is a game without gay
1.00
00:03:48.360
well yes you can't i forgot um there's no why in game
00:03:58.500
game glenn game do you think that's a coincidence no it is not they've been planning this forever i
00:04:07.520
actually do think especially since it's not spelled anywhere close you know you'd have to get rid of
00:04:14.340
the m and the e get rid of the me and football game and then add a y for you there football is for you
00:04:22.940
well you know how they used to spell women w-o-m-y-n you can do g-a-y-m-e it's a
00:04:28.860
the game this is so this is so ridiculous isn't it oh it's so i was i was watching uh i was on twitter
00:04:37.860
yesterday and you know the twitter gives you ads sir you know serves me ads based on my algorithm
00:04:42.860
and apparently my algorithm is telling them i want to see ads about pride week from proctor and gamble
00:04:49.520
or pride month excuse me about proctor and gamble so the the makers of tide and cascade
00:04:55.620
are telling me about love and they go through this whole thing in the very end there's this guy he's
00:05:01.720
like you know i just i just wish there was a time where we just didn't have to say all this
00:05:05.900
yet you've arrived you've arrived in the time it's here congratulations we don't need to be we don't
00:05:14.060
need to hear every little itty bitty detail of what goes on in your bedroom i don't care about
00:05:19.500
it i don't want to know about it you don't have to tell me about it the people who make detergent
00:05:24.280
don't have to tell me about it just stop telling me about it you know may i may i go a step further
0.99
00:05:30.140
i have a lot of you know i have a lot of gay friends who think that straight sex is icky
0.96
00:05:35.920
so you know what we don't talk about sex okay we don't and i think that's i think that's pretty
0.95
00:05:44.480
universal um i don't want to hear about sex i don't want i mean now maybe it's different in the
00:05:52.120
um you know in the tom brady realm where everybody is a beautiful person but right i've been to america
00:06:02.040
and that's not the way it generally is uh and so i just think we should stop talking about what
00:06:09.060
you're doing in your bedroom because like stew i not only don't care um i find it icky you know and
0.96
00:06:18.180
that could be straight sex you know let me tell you boy the wife and i had we tied one on last night
0.98
00:06:26.340
i don't want to hear it i don't want to hear it yes we exist here to try to forget and not picture
0.99
00:06:34.540
what you're doing in your bedroom whether you're straight or gay or whatever just stop talking
00:06:39.420
about it let's all hope that i almost just kind of want to forget that's how we reproduce let's
00:06:44.100
just forget about it completely i don't want to hear anything about it really is an icky process
00:06:49.000
i mean you could go into this is wow really god had to make it feel really good otherwise everybody
00:06:57.420
be like i'm gonna do what no i don't think so that's so true it doesn't make any sense it's a
00:07:06.000
terrible idea if it didn't feel good you wouldn't be doing it you just wouldn't be doing you're like
00:07:11.000
what are you taking your pants off for god stop it keep them on keep them on it's hot people are
00:07:15.700
sweaty it's smelly just keep everything on everyone we bundle up yeah you know maybe we've we've
00:07:21.240
criticized islamic extremists before but maybe they've got something on whatever we where you can't
00:07:25.360
see anybody's human body i mean there's something to the idea that we all just kind of cover
00:07:30.000
ourselves and can only see eyes that i you know i've walked around the united states of america
00:07:35.020
been through many malls over the years in texas it's 117 degrees everyone's sweaty and wearing
00:07:40.580
really tight things just stop wear maybe maybe a tarp let's go to the homer simpson moomoo thing and
00:07:47.540
just just embrace it it was a good look i think we should do it look yesterday i told you i was i was
00:07:55.000
going to be doing interpretive dance uh on how how racist the constitution is yes if you missed
00:08:01.540
yesterday's show go back for the podcast in hour three i read the actual report from the national
00:08:10.420
archives saying that the uh the national archives saying that the declaration of independence and
00:08:18.860
the bill of rights is uh confusing and shows our racist uh history and their solution is
00:08:27.660
to have interpretive dance happening when you go to try to see the declaration of independence
00:08:34.040
and so i said yesterday i i'm all for interpretive dance in fact i'm going to do one and the reason why
00:08:41.420
he said that is because you don't even want to think about me doing you know what i mean
00:08:47.920
there's like when my daughter was in ballet my son and i were like you know i think you could slice you
0.80
00:08:54.600
could put a piece of sliced toast in that guy's butt cheeks you know i mean you just you could just
0.58
00:08:59.640
put a slice of toast right there and he could hold it the entire dance me you could put an entire
0.93
00:09:06.540
toaster toaster oven between my cheeks you know what i mean and uh so it's not good it's not good
00:09:12.960
nobody wants to hear it no can we move on because i'm uncomfortable um jake tapper uh wow uh has lost
00:09:22.260
75 of his audience since january i wonder why that is wonder why that is i have the answer do you want
00:09:31.960
to hear the answer sure racism um in other news um you know some bigots might say it's things like
00:09:44.140
what was said on msnbc last night listen to this why do you think we're seeing an uptick in crime
00:09:51.600
happening right now i think it's a combination of things and we have to understand that police officers
00:09:57.540
are the backbone patrol particularly are the backbone of any police department and this reminds me of
00:10:03.160
back in the day when i was on lapd when officers feelings were hurt and uh they had the term blue flu
00:10:08.520
where officers openly talked about slow response to radio calls you can you can break a police chief
00:10:14.400
if response time is low if you're not clearing crimes if you're not responding to high priority calls
00:10:21.280
shootings in progress murder robbery and so officers now we see across these 18 000 police departments
00:10:28.620
are butthurt because you know they can't run willy-nilly through a police department and abuse
00:10:33.540
with reckless abandon so they're stepping away from specialized units too cowardly to quit
0.98
00:10:38.660
outright the department but they're stepping away wow wow so they're too they're cowardly now police
0.90
00:10:45.360
they're butthurt because they can't uh they can't just get away with all their racism could i just
00:10:51.980
remind everyone um that uh derek chauvin uh had was never they didn't even bring it up in court uh even
0.74
00:11:03.740
the holy corrupt uh keith ellison didn't say that this was about race because there's no case that that
00:11:12.960
was about race and yet uh george floyd is being held up as the hero that finally turned things around
00:11:22.740
for the bigoted racist cop in in the in the court of law race was not brought into this argument so how is
00:11:34.640
this happening and by the way it's not that the police are butthurt you've beaten the police back
00:11:42.200
you've beaten them down i don't know i might learn a lesson and not put myself into a situation
00:11:49.680
where i'm gonna go to jail i'm gonna lose my family i'm gonna lose my reputation i'm gonna be known as
00:11:58.120
a bigot racist throughout all of american history because you have an agenda that's not butthurt
00:12:06.800
that's smart that's smart that's self-preservation yeah and we went through a study a week or two ago
00:12:14.020
about black lives matter and what has actually happened with it where they say the study basically
00:12:20.000
said they had saved 300 lives between 2014 and 2019 for of potential police shootings unfortunately they
00:12:29.200
caused between one and six thousand murders by civilians against other civilians so many more black
00:12:36.320
lives were lost because of black lives matter then were saved um but in there they talk about uh the
00:12:42.260
effect the what they call the ferguson effect which is in some ways seemingly what she's trying to allude
00:12:47.800
to here uh and the the idea is basically that police get sick of being called genocidal maniacs every
00:12:55.320
tuesday and decide hey i'm gonna you know look unless i really have to jump into something i'm not gonna jump
00:13:01.780
into it because every time we jump into something we get accused of these terrible things and our lives
00:13:06.820
get destroyed when we're trying to help people so they don't jump in unless it's a super serious crime
00:13:12.140
so we're seeing signals of this all around the country where murders and rapes and the most serious
00:13:18.620
of crimes are going way way up while many property crimes are not because the police are are hesitant
00:13:25.620
when they know maybe a life might not be on the line to jump into any of these situations because they don't
00:13:31.760
want to expose themselves to a situation that's going to escalate out of control so they're jumping into
00:13:38.740
less of fewer of these situations because of that that's a huge problem you know i mean and what happens when
00:13:45.500
you vilify an entire class of people that are trying to help you results are usually negative and we're seeing
00:13:52.500
that the results all around the country are really negative it's not because they're cowards it's
00:13:57.420
because they're intelligent by the way uh police i think it was in portland over the weekend had to
00:14:05.000
uh come out and beg no violence no violence the person that was shot was white no violence no violence
00:14:11.360
no violence nobody cared about what happened they didn't say hey uh well this this shooting happened and
00:14:18.620
uh it was justified they didn't care they only cared what color the person was that's a sign of a deep
00:14:26.940
deep problem by the way rudy giuliani and alan dershowitz in hour number three today you don't want to miss
00:14:34.160
any of today's show this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:14:42.000
as days go by and events unfold around the world i fear what we have talked about has been right all
00:14:58.920
along and it's coming you'd think more people would at least try to listen to what we're all saying but
00:15:04.520
the latest in computer hackers which showed us that gas lines and beef shortages are not a conspiracy
00:15:10.280
theory in america doesn't matter most people don't act they react what about you are you going to act
00:15:16.340
now while you have the chance and before it's too late or react later i'm talking about getting
00:15:21.020
yourself a stockpile of emergency food from the nation's number one leader in preparedness it's my
00:15:25.820
patriot supply i trust my patriot supply and so can you just go to prepare with glenn.com right now
00:15:31.900
and you'll save 25 off their four-week emergency food kit it's prepare with glenn.com the food lasts for
00:15:38.120
25 years in storage provides minimum required 2 000 plus calories a day so go now to prepare
00:15:44.360
with glenn.com and you'll save 25 off the absolute bare minimum you should have the four-week food kit
00:15:50.260
act don't react prepare with glenn.com coming up in half an hour rudy giuliani and alan dershowitz to
00:16:00.100
talk about what's just happened to rudy giuliani and it's never happened before and it should concern
00:16:06.860
people a great deal um and i'll let alan and uh rudy explain it um it is it's it could affect all of us
00:16:18.100
if you don't like the client you don't go after the attorney um and uh it's never been done before
00:16:25.940
in fact the head of the nl uh the um uh aclu in new york who hates rudy giuliani just joined the team
00:16:34.660
to push back on this because he said this is one of the biggest violation of rights and if we go down
00:16:41.160
here and allow this to stand uh we're in in in big big legal trouble in the future each of us are so
00:16:49.580
we're going to talk about that coming up in about half an hour uh from now right now we're talking to
00:16:54.760
dr robert malone and um i i want to play this audio of the bioethicist um for you doctor so you can hear
00:17:02.900
what he's talking about inserting and and making us repel um meat listen to this so i'll give two
00:17:13.280
examples so one is that uh people eat too much meat right and if they were to cut down on their
00:17:19.220
consumption on meat then they would uh it would actually really help the planet uh but people are
00:17:25.140
not willing to give up meat yeah you know some people will be willing to but other people they may
00:17:29.960
be willing to but they sort of they have a weakness of will they say wow this this steak is just too
00:17:34.280
juicy i can't do it i'm one of those by the way so you know but so here's a thought right so it turns
00:17:40.040
out that we know a lot about so there we have these intolerance to uh so i for example i have milk
00:17:46.220
intolerance um uh and there's some people are intolerant to crayfish so possibly we can use human
00:17:52.460
engineering to make it the case that we're intolerant to certain kinds of meat to certain kinds of
00:17:57.280
bovine uh bovine proteins and there's actually analogs of this in life there's this thing called
00:18:02.100
the long star tick where if it bites you you will become allergic to meat i can sort of describe the
00:18:07.960
mechanism so that's something that we can do through human engineering we can kind of uh possibly
00:18:12.980
address really big world problems through human engineering isn't that shouldn't that be terrifying
00:18:20.500
that's a mic drop moment yeah that that's clearly crossing the line engineering humans is the key
0.88
00:18:27.060
you didn't mention that part before so so he's talking about engineering you and me um not engineering
00:18:34.600
the cow uh that's that's where i was going to say um well i think the core of what you're talking about
00:18:42.720
is uh does the rights of the society trump the rights of the individual right do the ends justify
00:18:52.200
the means and we already settled that we had the nuremberg trials right we said no and here in the
00:18:58.660
states and i think all of your listeners and are aligned with me on this we're a free society of free
00:19:05.400
people that have free will to make their own decisions and uh this this i i i i hope that the
00:19:13.780
speaker was saying this in jest just to illustrate a point because the idea of engineering humans uh
00:19:21.100
number one it's it's naive as somebody who's been in the gene therapy space for a long time
00:19:26.760
we can talk about these fancy ideas but implementing them turns out to be wicked hard for the very reason
00:19:33.360
we started talking about that you know there are all kinds of barriers to getting stuff into our dna
00:19:38.980
it's hard to do what concerns me is it it feels like uh some scientists are now like yeah yeah eugenics
00:19:52.200
didn't work but the idea was good and we're just going down the same road with new technology
00:19:59.580
uh from you know 1900 to 1940 yeah no and this is i suspect this is always going to be the case i can
00:20:08.260
tell you that in in this in among my peers there are always those who feel like if we can do it we
00:20:15.780
should do it and and it's often real hard to check those people i mean this gets this is the same
00:20:23.280
kind of issue as the gain of function mutation research that's the at the core of the
00:20:28.620
controversy about the origin of this virus there are people in my space you know in my
00:20:35.960
contact list that are kind of wired to say um i'm really smart and if i can do this i should be allowed
00:20:44.840
to do it and those people are really hard to control um but they're out there and they will
00:20:50.440
always be out there and somehow the rest of us got to put a clamp on them and make it clear that
00:20:55.460
that's not okay but it's not easy to do i guarantee it's not easy to do and it feels like
00:21:02.240
medicine in some way is going off the rails i know uh the ama just said that they're going to
00:21:08.800
start now including critical race theory in medicine and i thought that critical race theory
00:21:15.080
like it don't like it that's political we cannot put political into medicine so yeah the assumption
00:21:24.100
that the american medical association represents most physicians in the united states is false
00:21:28.580
uh not not only by numbers but also by logic so please don't paint us all with that brush
00:21:35.160
just because a bunch of folks sitting in a ivory tower in chicago happen to say that
00:21:40.440
um a lot of us find the ama has led us down the garden path to where our lives are controlled by
00:21:46.980
accountants and and people with mbas right uh they they kind of sold us out so uh you know i don't
00:21:53.840
know that medicine you're right medicine today is not what i signed up for when i went into medical
00:21:59.920
school uh and a lot of my colleagues are really disillusioned with it but um and that's a that's a
00:22:07.340
bigger we're we're facing these are the kind of things that keep me up at night um we're facing
00:22:15.340
times that are happening that are coming at us so fast and it doesn't seem like for instance i have
00:22:22.340
a daughter who um has uh cerebral palsy and she had horrible horrible seizures she was having them all
00:22:29.920
the time and she just had this miraculous brain surgery she hasn't had a seizure since january that's
00:22:37.980
she's 31 or 32 years old that's that is a miracle and i know that elon musk is developing what's called
00:22:47.920
neural link and his idea is that you'll be able to you know if you have strokes which she had
00:22:54.760
it will be able to um jump uh over any of the scarring or anything else and i i think this is fantastic
00:23:06.060
but i also see what it could become and i don't know where the line is does anybody is anybody talking
00:23:14.660
about these things right to be you're right to be wary because the history is that when when every
00:23:21.380
one of these breakthroughs always comes with a good side and a bad side and there's always military
00:23:28.480
applications there's always these kinds of control applications and uh and there's always folks that
00:23:36.800
are willing to exploit it particularly if they can make a buck and um i it's it this is the battle that
00:23:44.020
we are going to have to wage forever but is there anybody in your business leading that battle
00:23:51.720
that's a good question um is there i'm not there must be uh institutes and think tanks that are
00:24:02.760
i can't imagine there isn't but the field of bioethics seems to be often fairly focused on
00:24:11.540
on just the pragmatic parts of how do we do a clinical trial and and you know develop drugs and stuff like
00:24:18.220
that and not on these big picture issues these are more psychology and social sociology kind of
00:24:25.500
in in um and big think tank rand rand institute kind of questions you're asking and i i i hope that
00:24:33.940
there are folks out there but they're not in my world my world people tend to be pretty focused on
00:24:39.340
the mission and uh you know how do we protect the warfighter how do we uh respond to bio threats i mean
0.73
00:24:46.900
the thing that has my world spooked is these new recombinant technologies like uh crisper cas9 that
00:24:54.920
that you know in the and garage biology you can engineer some wicked nasty stuff these days in your
00:25:01.740
garage and that's that's in a way that you didn't used to be able to and that's what's got
00:25:08.760
could you explain pretty most people don't don't even know what crisper is can can you explain that
00:25:14.620
quickly not very well i don't know it i don't practice it it's a new technology that allows
00:25:20.300
very precise recombination which is to say insertion of new genetic material in place of existing
00:25:28.120
genetic material and it makes it kind of child's play it used to be really hard and now by use of
00:25:35.840
these sequences that are found in some uh prokaryotic uh bug uh microbial systems you're
00:25:44.180
able to circumvent a lot of the old kind of more kludgy stuff and just make genetic swaps wherever you
00:25:51.200
want and that's complemented by the fact that you can i mean i could i could write out a new gene that
00:25:56.520
i want right now on my computer and send it off to a shop in the u.s or china and they would send me
00:26:02.400
back a package with that gene synthesized it's that trivial and this is a technology that now
00:26:08.500
allows you to take that and drop it into you know your favorite genome it's not it's not yet um
00:26:16.880
uh so efficient that the the problem with all of this for humans for big you know animals to get it
00:26:24.900
into all of your cells we're not there yet we're a long long way from that but to do it in one cell
00:26:32.320
like like or modify a virus or modify a bacteria um that's now trivial and that's that's kind of
00:26:40.240
the the thing about the argument that just to bring it home that sars cov2 some people say well
00:26:47.500
there's no footprint of classic genetic engineering well with with crispr cas9 there are no footprints
00:26:54.380
it just goes in clean so wow that that argument you know we can't it it changes everything because
00:27:03.140
you can't track stuff in the same way um and it becomes uh pretty easy to do stuff so that's that's
00:27:11.060
a little spooky right yeah we are we're entering a whole new world just a whole new world dr robert
00:27:19.280
malone thank you for spending the time uh over the last three days being on in the program i find you
00:27:25.600
thank you i find you really refreshing that you haven't brought politics into any of it just
00:27:31.320
reason and common sense thank you so much god bless my pleasure
00:27:35.840
this is the best of the glenbeck program and don't forget rate us on itunes
00:27:45.220
this is the glenbeck program i heard uh alan dershowitz talk about rudy giuliani monday on
00:27:58.400
the megan kelly podcast and um i just thought he made such good points and i wanted you to to hear
00:28:06.500
them but i also had a couple of questions for uh mr dershowitz on uh on this particular case and what
00:28:13.940
it means if it's not repaired welcome alan dershowitz host of uh the dershow how are you sir well i'm
00:28:21.420
doing good but i'm very concerned you know i've been a lawyer for 60 years i taught legal ethics for
00:28:28.060
about 35 years at harvard i have never seen a case like the rudy giuliani case first of all they deny
00:28:36.600
him an evidentiary hearing they say you have to prove not only that what he said was false but
00:28:42.880
knowingly false that he knew it was false he denies that and yet they didn't take evidence they just
00:28:50.680
suspended him saying that the suspension is likely to become permanent without any kind of an opportunity
00:28:58.480
him to respond moreover i have never seen a case where lawyers have been disciplined not necessarily
00:29:06.820
for what they say in court some of the allegations are what he said in court but others of the
00:29:11.860
allegations are what he said on television on fox on newsmax on podcasts why is that not protected
00:29:20.140
by the first amendment i think everybody will concede the court will concede that everything rudy
00:29:25.900
giuliani said would be protected by the first amendment if you weren't a lawyer what's the
00:29:31.500
difference that he's a lawyer i mean i watch lawyers on tv all the time just um for instance
00:29:41.640
in the chauvin case i've heard the lawyers talk about how this is all about race and yet when they
00:29:49.780
got into the court there wasn't one word about race well was he right should he be suspended
00:29:59.320
well i can tell you many many thousands of lawyers would be suspended if this decision by the appellate
00:30:08.240
division in new york were applied across the board universally there's a famous case where a
00:30:14.920
prosecutor held up a pair of underpants saying it belonged to the defendant and that the red on it
00:30:20.980
was his blood when the prosecutor knew it was paint the guy got sentenced to death ultimately it was
00:30:26.860
reversed but the lawyer wasn't disciplined or disbarred i've experienced myself probably two dozen
00:30:33.200
cases where lawyers have made misstatements to the court i filed a grievance i filed a grievance
00:30:39.940
against david boy he's a prominent lawyer the senior partner in boy's killer who has had many
00:30:45.180
ethical complaints against him in the theranos case in the winston case you name it in other cases
00:30:51.160
he says to me on tape on tape i have it on tape he says to me the woman who accused you is wrong
00:30:58.380
simply wrong you couldn't have been in the places she said you were in when she claimed to have sex
00:31:05.320
with you he says that on tape and then just a short time later he files a complaint saying she's telling
00:31:11.800
the truth and everything she says is truthful he knows that that's false and i filed a complaint with
00:31:18.540
the same disciplinary board that disciplined giuliani and they wouldn't even consider the complaint
00:31:25.880
they wouldn't even investigate that's how selective this prosecution is and it's unfair they're going
00:31:33.680
after giuliani not because of what he said but because of who he defended and because they don't agree
00:31:39.860
with his politics so here's the here's the scary thing alan we know that it would not be universally
00:31:47.400
applied um because it never it it never works out that way strangely because it's about politics
00:31:54.340
however this should shock every attorney um to to know that if you fall on the wrong side of an issue
00:32:02.500
you can be suspended but also this goes to something else we have i have one of the the had one of the
00:32:12.000
best first amendment attorneys in the country from uh from washington dc battling with us i've i've had
00:32:21.160
them for 20 years and battling with them etc etc we're in the middle of something and we get dropped and the
00:32:30.400
reason why we're dropped is because it will cause problems with some of the other cases and the
00:32:36.720
partners that we have you excuse me yeah you're now make they were making political calculations
00:32:45.200
on who they were going to represent alan if this kind of stuff continues you if you're unpopular you're
00:32:52.080
not going to get an attorney well i remember this from the 1950s i was a year too young to remember to
00:32:58.960
know this but i was in college when mccarthyism was rearing its ugly head and no lawyer would dare
0.96
00:33:05.840
to represent somebody who was accused of being a communist or a fellow traveler or too far left
00:33:12.000
yesterday it was the left that was complaining against the right today it's the right that's being
00:33:18.400
victimized by the left and you know what's going on in this world today the hard left has become the
00:33:24.880
enemy of free speech due process and equal protection of the laws and they call themselves
00:33:31.280
progressives they don't want equality they want identity politics they don't want due process if a
00:33:36.680
woman says it's true it must be true why have a hearing they don't want free speech if we don't
0.84
00:33:41.020
agree with you you shouldn't be able to say it free speech for me but not for the what has happened
00:33:46.120
to the hard left and the constitution they see the constitution as the enemy of their utopia
00:33:53.040
they don't realize that without these constitutional rights every utopia turns into a dystopia if you
00:33:59.520
don't believe that look at castro's cuba look at mao's china look at stalin's russia and you'll see
00:34:05.560
historically it's always been the case when you end these rights you end freedom and liberty and we
00:34:11.980
have to fight against it i'm a liberal democrat i voted for joe biden i voted for hillary clinton i voted
00:34:18.480
for barack obama i voted for bill clinton i voted for every democrat and i'm just as concerned as if
00:34:25.520
i were today a republican and they can come after me tomorrow because i defended president trump in
00:34:31.940
front of the united states senate and i'm suing cnn because they totally distorted what i said and i won
00:34:39.080
the first round of my case against cnn and i think i hope i will win the subsequent rounds as well
00:34:44.440
we cannot allow this attack on the constitution to continue
00:34:49.580
but you know i wish there were more liberals like you i mean that this is what a liberal used to be
00:34:59.100
and i don't know where those people are hiding i i don't know if they don't exist they don't see the
00:35:04.540
threat or they're afraid to say anything or that donald trump was so bad that you know ends justify
00:35:12.000
the means i i don't know where they are that's what i think many of them say that's what they tell
00:35:17.520
me you know people don't talk to me anymore on martha's vineyard they don't talk to me in other
00:35:21.900
places mostly martha's vineyard these are people whose kids i wrote recommendations for for college
00:35:27.100
whose kids i got up at three in the morning and helped get out of jail when they were picked up with
00:35:31.720
a with a uh drugs or uh with alcohol these are people i have done things for over the years today
00:35:38.180
they won't talk to me because i defended the president of the united states and trump is
00:35:44.260
different nothing applies to trump the constitution is suspended when it comes to trump that's the road
00:35:50.620
to tyranny wow um let me ask you this the the ex-fbi lawyer uh that lied to the fisa court i mean he
00:36:01.240
changed he changed documents he got a one-year bar suspension uh rudy giuliani is facing a life
00:36:10.560
suspension this guy gets a one-year suspension from the bar doesn't that seem a little light
00:36:18.040
for somebody who went into court knowingly changed documents to have it say the exact opposite in a
00:36:26.480
fisa court yeah especially a fisa court because there's no other side of the fisa court the fisa
00:36:32.500
court isn't an adversarial system one side is presented and so that side is expected to present
00:36:38.940
everything fairly in a pristine manner because they have a special special responsibility look i think
00:36:46.600
what that guy is accused of doing is far worse than anything that giuliani is accused of doing oh
00:36:53.460
oh my gosh yeah so hard on giuliani i would like to have somebody go and go through all the cases
00:37:00.720
where the appellate division in new york or the the disciplinary board in new york has refused to
00:37:06.660
take action against lawyers for the most part they take action against lawyers who steal money from
00:37:11.540
clients they very rarely take action against lawyers who lie in court i have had so many cases in the
00:37:18.420
southern district of new york where prosecutors have said things that are clearly untrue and i've
00:37:24.200
written books about it and i've you know um argued appeals based on it but i've never seen any lawyer
00:37:31.420
disbarred because of it i don't want to see lawyers disbarred i don't i'm against the weaponization
00:37:36.520
of the justice system for political partisan purposes but i don't want to see giuliani treated to
00:37:43.440
a double standard and denied due process and denied free speech rights well but but wait a minute you
00:37:49.980
you should get in trouble if you're lying in court yeah shouldn't you yeah yeah yeah yeah you right
00:37:57.780
okay and and with the court but you have no obligation to be candid on fox television or in
00:38:05.460
glenn beck's radio show i'm always going to be candid because that's who i am i have never deliberately
00:38:11.180
said anything that's untrue on any radio or or television show to my knowledge and i'm going
00:38:16.620
to continue to maintain that standard for myself but i don't want to see the government have the
00:38:22.700
power to determine whether what i've said to you is true or false once you give the government that
00:38:28.960
power and bar association disciplinary groups are the government you give them the power to chill
00:38:36.740
advocacy to chill free speech and you give them the power to selectively enforce the law and that's
00:38:43.640
so dangerous you know one of the dictators of south america famously said for my friends everything for
00:38:49.260
my enemies the law the law is so powerful you can use it so effectively against your enemies and what
00:38:56.800
we're seeing right now is a banana republic style attempt to try to go after former president trump
00:39:04.660
and his family and his company and his associates and that's what happens again in banana republics
0.98
00:39:11.380
when you undo a government you go after the former government you put them in jail you kill them
00:39:16.940
you do all those things that's what determines whether it's a tyranny or democracy in america we
00:39:23.480
generally applaud our former office holders and we don't go after them but here you have in new york
00:39:29.920
the attorney general of the state of new york runs for office without seeing a bit of evidence
00:39:35.320
runs for office on the campaign pledge that she will get trump it's not what an attorney general
0.66
00:39:41.620
should do and that's not a fair way of approaching criminal justice
00:39:45.480
from uh the der show alan dershowitz you can grab his podcast wherever you get your podcast
00:39:53.900
uh as always alan thank you very much for your honesty i know we disagree i'm sure on a lot of
00:39:59.980
things but uh on telling the truth and yeah but standing up for what is right yeah yeah um all right
