Alan Dershowitz, lawyer & former law professor, joins the show to talk about his decades-long defense of controversial clients, sparring with critics like Larry David, and standing firmly by Israel during its current war. He stresses that Prime Minister Netanyahu faces impossible choices between rescuing hostages and ensuring Israel’s long-term security, arguing outsiders like Trump or U.S. politicians shouldn’t second-guess Israel’s decisions. Dershowitz highlights his recent Wall Street Journal piece, “Jewish Blood Is No Longer Cheap,” asserting Hamas—not Israel—bears responsibility for civilian deaths in Gaza. The conversation turns personal as he reflects on the loss of his son, who heroically lived decades beyond a grim prognosis and produced films and Dershowitz’s podcast. Though grieving, Dershowitz insists on continuing his work, revealing he’s no longer aligned with Democrats and now supports centrist Republicans to block radical voices from power.
