[00:00:00]  We're in a crisis of free speech and due process and equality and meritocracy in America.
[00:00:07]  In this episode, I sit down with Professor Emeritus of Law at Harvard Law School, Alan Dershowitz.
[00:00:13]  He's the author of Get Trump, The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law.
[00:00:19]  Independent voters will look at some of these charges and say, gee, where they smoke this fire.
[00:00:26]  But of course, Where there's smoke, sometimes there's arson.
[00:00:29]  We discussed the many cases being litigated against Trump, what his vulnerabilities actually are, and the broader assault on civil liberties.
[00:00:36]  Justice Thurgood Marshall said the First Amendment has two sides.
[00:00:41]  One, the right to speak, and two, the right to listen, the right to hear.
[00:00:44]  People who have been denied the right to hear have the power to bring lawsuits.
