You're listening to an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast.

We have the great Alan Dershowitz with us today.

He has a new book coming out called The Preventative State, The Challenge of Preventing

Serious Harms While Preserving Essential Liberties.

There it is.

You see it.

And I think it's a very good book to be talking about right now,

Alan, because of everything that's going on in the world. Yeah, everything is about prevention.

Deportation is about preventing violence. Bombing Iran or making a deal with Iran is about

preventing them from getting nuclear weapons. Israel's actions in Gaza, controversial

as they are, are intended to prevent a repetition of October 7th. And in my book,

The Prevent Estate, I go through every conceivable act of prevention, ranging from medical

intervention to climate intervention. I put them all together, and I create a

conceptual framework for analyzing this major shift that's going on in our society. Larry Summers,

the president of Harvard, put it very well. He says no one but Alan Dershowitz would seek to

bring common mode of thought to issues as

diverses, bail, climate change, and terrorism. And that's what I try to do, because I've noted

a major change. You know, we used to wait until harms occurred, and then we would go and punish them.

Today, the harms are so serious, nuclear, environmental, medical, that we move much earlier.

And we endanger civil liberties when we do that.

We also protect people.
