| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dershow. First some good news for me, maybe not so good for you, but we're |
| 0:08.2 | not going to be having a program this coming Monday. It's Labor Day. It's not the |
| 0:12.7 | reason. The reason is my daughter is getting married for the first time in my 85 years. |
| 0:19.5 | I'm going to be the father of the bride. And so I'm going to devote all of my attention |
| 0:23.9 | and all of my time to my wonderful, wonderful daughter and her wonderful, wonderful husband |
| 0:29.0 | and my new son-in-law and wishing them a mausole tough and a great, great marriage. We're |
| 0:37.2 | looking forward to a wonderful, wonderful wedding. But you can do something interesting |

| 1:20.2 | if I had been the prosecutor against Donald Trump. Now, my heart's not in it. Because |
| 1:27.0 | A, I'm a defense attorney. All my life, I've been a defense attorney only once in my life |
| 1:32.3 | that I consult with the government in trying to prosecute a former FBI agent who had |
| 1:40.8 | tipped off Whitey Boulder and helped him kill witnesses against him. So I worked with |
| 1:48.8 | a district attorney in trying to keep him in jail. I guess I also worked a little bit |
| 1:54.9 | advising the Israeli government on the prosecution of John Demyaniak, the Ivan the Terrible of |
| 2:04.1 | during the Holocaust. But I'm a defense attorney. My heart's in being a defense attorney. I also |
| 2:08.8 | don't think that the case against Donald Trump, that I'm going to be advocating is the right |
| 2:15.1 | one to bring against the man who's running for president. But I'm an advocate and I got probably |
