You have just gained access to an exclusive insider's look at the lives and works of some of your favorite authors and hear conversations with the world's greatest writers as they discuss their writing lifestyle, creative process, latest work, and behind the scenes revelations.

Welcome to Dedicated. i'm your host Doug brunt today we're talking with dan abrams he is the busiest man in media and i actually

wrote down his introduction so i can get all the various things he's doing right he hosts a daily

cable news show in primetime 9 p.m on news nation he has a daily hour of news radio here at SiriusXM on the POTUS channel. He's the ABC News chief legal analyst, which has him up early mornings for Good Morning America. On Patrol Live on the Reels Network, which has him up late nights on the weekends. And he's the founder and CEO of Abrams Media, which holds a number

of companies, including Mediite, where many people get news, but especially people in the news

get their news there. Every journalist and reporter starts their day at Mediite.com to find out what's

going on. And the Law and Crime Network, which is like a newer, better court TV. But the main reason he's here with us today is he's

also written a series of best-selling books that shed new light on historical legal cases.

They're five in the series, including Lincoln's last trial. The most recent is Alabama v. King,

which was sort of set at the outset of the civil rights movement. So that was a long intro, my friend. Too long, too long. It was too long. You were a busy man. It's nice to be with you. It's great to have you here. Thanks for coming in. Of course. And you're a terrific guest for this show because you come at writing from so many different angles and in so many different formats from long form books to short pieces of journalism to writing in support of broadcast journalism.

But before we get into all that, let's start with your drink of choice, which is one of my favorites as well,

bourbon.

Yep.

Yep.

All right.

Can they hear the ice?

Hold on.

Let's make sure.

There you go.

Just making sure you can hear the ice. And I tend to go neat, but Doug picked, no, Doug picked the bourbon, so I'm going to go with ice. That's good. Thank you. Yes. Cheers. Great to see you. Cheers. Cheers. Thanks for going to see you. Happy to be here. Hmm. All right. Now, now we are settled in.

So let's start with Dan Abrams, the early life. You come from a family of big brains, particularly big legal brains.

Your sister, Ronnie, is a federal judge in New York. And your dad, Floyd Abrams, is a famous attorney for work in constitutional law.
