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

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
