Summary

In his 85 years, constitutional scholar and legal expert Alan Dershowitz has played a role in some of the biggest legal and political moments of our time — basically every “trial of the century.” On this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Glenn gets a deep look at the most controversial case Alan has tackled yet. Dershowitz has said that two of the most unpopular people he has defended were O.J. Simpson and Jeffrey Epstein, but neither compares to his defense of Donald Trump. And the consequences of defending Trump have been catastrophic, not only for him, but for everyone he loves. He analyzes the multiple civil suits and indictments against Trump and offers his expertise on how Trump’s lawyers SHOULD argue his cases. Having lived under McCarthyism, he says a new McCarthyism is looming. It’s the focus of his latest book, “Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule Of Law,” and a recent highlight of his podcast "The Dershow." But just how imminent is the threat? “We’re four bananas away from being a banana republic," Alan warns.   SPONSORS: If you're one of the millions of Americans who suffer every day from pain, there is hope, and it comes in the form of Relief Factor.
