Latest / Sid & Friends In The Morning / Alan Dershowitz | Lawyer & Former Law Professor Says Mamdani's Policies Could Be Dire for NYC Jews
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: My next guest. You guys know how much I love him.
- 0:02Speaker 1: Greatest attorney ever, the brilliant Alan Dershowitz. Alan, good morning, buddy,
- 0:06Speaker 1: how are you hey?
- 0:08Speaker 2: You're great. I can tell you. I watched you on
- 0:11Speaker 2: Fox so proud of you standing up the way you did.
- 0:16Speaker 2: You know people are going to attack you, They're going
- 0:19Speaker 2: to criticize you, but you tell the truth and you
- 0:22Speaker 2: say it straight.
- 0:24Speaker 3: I did.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I flat out called them a terrorist, and I'd done
- 0:27Speaker 1: that months before, and you'd be surprised. Even Rabbis in
- 0:31Speaker 1: the city was so appended. I'm like, now, now, don't
- 0:33Speaker 1: text me now, because now, really bite your head off.
- 0:35Speaker 1: He is what he is. He is a terrorist. I
- 0:37Speaker 1: think people conflate. They think, oh, he's a terrorist. He
- 0:40Speaker 1: must be wearing an explosive vest. They're shooting people. No, No,
- 0:44Speaker 1: I have a different definition. If he can change the
- 0:46Speaker 1: definition of anti semitism and rape, my definition of terrorist
- 0:51Speaker 1: is somebody who's in line with them, somebody who respects them,
- 0:55Speaker 1: somebody who believes their ideology. To me, that guy's a terrorist.
- 0:59Speaker 2: How about well, I would take it a step further.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Anybody who knowingly says things that he should realize will
- 1:07Speaker 2: encourage terrorism against Jewish civilians, such as a cart on
- 1:11Speaker 2: the Upper West Side, is complicit in terrorism and has
- 1:15Speaker 2: to be held responsible morally, if not legally, for the
- 1:19Speaker 2: consequences of his conduct. Look, he has free speech rights,
- 1:23Speaker 2: to be an idiot, to be a bigot, to be
- 1:25Speaker 2: a racist, to be an anti semi all of those
- 1:28Speaker 2: are protected by the Constitution, But it doesn't protect him
- 1:30Speaker 2: from being morally accused of being complicit with terrorism and
- 1:35Speaker 2: complicit with genocide, because if his policies were allowed to
- 1:39Speaker 2: come into action, we would see genocide against the Jewish people.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I have no doubt about that, because that's the goal
- 1:46Speaker 2: of Israel's enemies to destroy every single Jew, to make
- 1:49Speaker 2: to make Israel juden Rhine no Jews allowed to live there,
- 1:53Speaker 2: and ultimately to destroy American Jewish communities as well as
- 1:58Speaker 2: he's trying to do in New York.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Take this to your professional and I spoke to a
- 2:02Speaker 1: young lady named Elizabeth force Band today. She's with the
- 2:05Speaker 1: Brandeis Association. She works for a very very big law firm.
- 2:09Speaker 1: It's partly hers. She woulte a letter to the mayor.
- 2:11Speaker 1: It sounds like this, get ready for this. We write
- 2:13Speaker 1: as a coalition of New York City's Jewish bar associations.
- 2:17Speaker 1: We are attorneys and judges who served this city with
- 2:20Speaker 1: an on wavering commitment to justice, the rule of law,
- 2:23Speaker 1: and the safety of warn New Yorkers. Your recent announcement,
- 2:27Speaker 1: this is to the Mayor of appointees to the Mayor's
- 2:30Speaker 1: Advisory Committee on the Judiciary, has left us deeply disappointed.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Not a single Jewish attorney, not a single former judge
- 2:40Speaker 1: or legal professional, was appointed to a committee your administration
- 2:44Speaker 1: described as one that would be quote truly reflective of
- 2:47Speaker 1: our city. So you got nineteen people on that committee.
- 2:51Speaker 1: They just recently try to endorse Robert Levinthal for this job,
- 2:57Speaker 1: and the mayor said, no, nineteen people, no Jews. As
- 3:00Speaker 1: an attorney, Durschwitz, explain that one to me, You.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Can't explain it. Imagine if it were a group of
- 3:07Speaker 2: nineteen and included no blacks, or included no gays, or
- 3:10Speaker 2: included no women, everybody would be up in arms. But
- 3:13Speaker 2: the Jews are fair targets these days. Jews don't have
- 3:16Speaker 2: to be included. We're white, privileged, colonialist, expansionist occupiers. We
- 3:23Speaker 2: had no rights, we have no interest. We are only
- 3:26Speaker 2: the people who should be attacked, according to Mamdami. But look,
- 3:31Speaker 2: I point my finger not at Mandami. He's running, understand
- 3:34Speaker 2: of he's ambitious. I point my finger at the dumbest
- 3:37Speaker 2: group of people that have ever lived in New York.
- 3:40Speaker 2: The Jews of the Upper west Side, the Jews of
- 3:43Speaker 2: Parkslope who voted for Mamdani. Those are the dumbest people. No,
- 3:47Speaker 2: the second dumbest people. The dumbest people were the seven
- 3:49Speaker 2: thousand Jews who voted for Adolf Hitler in nineteen thirty
- 3:53Speaker 2: two because he promised to improve the economy and even
- 3:57Speaker 2: though he was calling for the death of the Jews
- 3:59Speaker 2: and the genocide. Seven thousand you said, way, we care
- 4:02Speaker 2: about the economy more than we care about ourselves, so
- 4:05Speaker 2: we're going to vote for them. So let's point the
- 4:08Speaker 2: blame where it belongs. Mandamie would not be the mayor
- 4:11Speaker 2: of the city if not to the idiot Jews of
- 4:14Speaker 2: the Upper west Side, the idiot Jews of Park Slope
- 4:17Speaker 2: who put their own interests beneath those of others and
- 4:22Speaker 2: voted him into office. No, those are the people who
- 4:25Speaker 2: have to bear this.
- 4:27Speaker 1: And that came up on Saturday. One of the hosts
- 4:29Speaker 1: it wasn't Rachel. Maybe and Charle Tollie heard it said, hey,
- 4:32Speaker 1: your people helped vote him, and maybe it was Rachel.
- 4:35Speaker 1: And I said, listen, I said this on television Saturday,
- 4:38Speaker 1: the liberal Jew. Sorry, I know you want a liberal Jew, Allen,
- 4:41Speaker 1: but I love you to pieces the liberal Jew. Yeah,
- 4:45Speaker 1: I know, I saw might. By the way, socially, I'm
- 4:47Speaker 1: all for gay marriage, I'm pro choice, some all that stuff, okay,
- 4:51Speaker 1: but the liberal Jew has helped destroy us as much
- 4:54Speaker 1: as any terrorists. I really believe that.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Sorry, no, I completely agree with you. I the word
- 5:00Speaker 2: liberal to radical and woke and the Jew who follows
- 5:05Speaker 2: kind of the Marxist line. Let's remember also that when
- 5:09Speaker 2: I was growing up and Israel was established, who are
- 5:11Speaker 2: its strongest supporters. The communists Russia cast the deciding vote
- 5:16Speaker 2: for Israel. And the minute the Russians decided that oil
- 5:19Speaker 2: was more important than principle and shifted to the Arabs,
- 5:22Speaker 2: the American left shifted along with them, automatically, knee jerk.
- 5:27Speaker 2: They turned from pro Israel to anti Israel. And now
- 5:30Speaker 2: it's worse because Israel is the only issue that unites
- 5:34Speaker 2: many of these radical leftists, the only thing they have
- 5:38Speaker 2: in common is They hate Israel, they hate Jews, they
- 5:42Speaker 2: hate people like you, they hate people like me, particularly
- 5:45Speaker 2: people like the two of us, who are strong and
- 5:48Speaker 2: are apologetic and stand up for Israel. But I have
- 5:51Speaker 2: to tell you the some good news too. So yesterday
- 5:53Speaker 2: we had a Jewish culture conference then Martha's Vineyard, the
- 5:59Speaker 2: centerpiece of anti Israel left left and of course there
- 6:02Speaker 2: were protests. There were people outside calling Israel jenison.
- 6:05Speaker 1: I'm sure Larry David was one of those guys. Well,
- 6:09Speaker 1: he would have been there.
- 6:10Speaker 2: It's probably too busy. But in any event, the the
- 6:13Speaker 2: the cultural event was fantastic. My cousin Uh, a cousin Lemmer,
- 6:20Speaker 2: who's a great, great canter, Uh sang. I sang a
- 6:25Speaker 2: duet with him. We sang the prayer for Israel soldiers.
- 6:29Speaker 2: We had, you know, almost a thousand people eating Jewish food,
- 6:33Speaker 2: singing Jewish songs, and proud Jews on Martha's Vineyard, which
- 6:38Speaker 2: shocked everybody. So you know, I think that good people. Oh,
- 6:43Speaker 2: by the way, many non Jews came to many to
- 6:46Speaker 2: show support to the Jewish community in Martha's Vineyard because
- 6:50Speaker 2: we've been under attack every week. There are demonstrations against Israel.
- 6:57Speaker 2: You know, I some idiot refused to serve me parogi
- 7:01Speaker 2: at the farmer's market because I was wearing a shirt
- 7:04Speaker 2: that said I'm a proud zion as my Yeah, you
- 7:06Speaker 2: know what happened. We got to be kicked out of
- 7:07Speaker 2: the farmer's market. We got the farmer's markets an issue
- 7:10Speaker 2: of rules saying if you don't sell to everybody, you
- 7:12Speaker 2: can't sell to anybody. So the new statement on Martha's
- 7:15Speaker 2: viney is Dershuitz. Don't get parogi, No one get PAROCHI.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I love that getting parogi.
- 7:20Speaker 2: And Martha's vinyards from this guy there. You wouldn't sell
- 7:23Speaker 2: to me.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Listen, I'm going to say this to you, because you know,
- 7:26Speaker 1: people think the Internet that's the answer.
- 7:28Speaker 2: It's not.
- 7:29Speaker 1: People think these low life podcasters, the lowlives, that's the answer.
- 7:33Speaker 2: It's not.
- 7:34Speaker 1: The majority of support in this country is still for
- 7:38Speaker 1: Israel and the Jews. They don't just they don't run
- 7:40Speaker 1: around town all day saying I love the Jews. The
- 7:43Speaker 1: people that hate us, they're loud, they're stupid, they're uninformed,
- 7:48Speaker 1: they're hateful, and they think that oh, America's figured it
- 7:52Speaker 1: all out.
- 7:53Speaker 2: They're wrong.
- 7:54Speaker 1: They're one hundred percent wrong. I am telling you the
- 7:57Speaker 1: majority of Americans, like you said, good people may even
- 8:00Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority, are absolutely with Israel and the Jews
- 8:05Speaker 1: one thousand percent.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Let's prove that when BB comes to town. Let's get
- 8:10Speaker 2: together one hundred thousand people to greet him in Central
- 8:13Speaker 2: Park or in Doc Harmershield Plaza in front of the UN.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Let's show BB in the world that New Yorkers do
- 8:21Speaker 2: not support Mom Donnie when it comes to Israel, they
- 8:24Speaker 2: support Israel.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Well, he's in town today, just not in New York.
- 8:28Speaker 1: He's in DC. So what do you expect now? Looksen,
- 8:31Speaker 1: he doesn't want this war to end until Hesbolos completely
- 8:34Speaker 1: wiped out, and I agree with him. I also think
- 8:36Speaker 1: President Trump shouldn't want this war to end until the
- 8:39Speaker 1: IOGC has wiped out. We talk about dust, we talk
- 8:42Speaker 1: about this great nonsense, kill these bastards, or that doesn't
- 8:45Speaker 1: to do it again. What do you think happens between
- 8:47Speaker 1: Trump and bebe Well?
- 8:49Speaker 2: I think first BB shows him intelligence that only Israel
- 8:53Speaker 2: could get as to what's inside Pickax Mountain and why
- 8:57Speaker 2: that has to be destroyed from the air fully or
- 9:00Speaker 2: at least the entrances and exits block.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Now correct me if I'm wrong, Not to cut you up,
- 9:04Speaker 1: but Pickcockx Mountain. That's where they're doing a lot of
- 9:06Speaker 1: the nuclear stuff.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Right, That's right, That's exactly where they're doing it. BB
- 9:10Speaker 2: knows that he has the charts, he has the videos,
- 9:13Speaker 2: he has the data, and he has to persuade not
- 9:17Speaker 2: only President Trump, mostly President Trump, but also he has
- 9:21Speaker 2: to persuade the Vice President, the Secretary of State and others.
- 9:25Speaker 2: And I hope the end result is that the United
- 9:29Speaker 2: States will not stop until there is literally regime change.
- 9:33Speaker 2: There will never be Beeast in the Middle East as
- 9:36Speaker 2: long as the Moulaws are in control. These are the
- 9:38Speaker 2: Nazis of nineteen thirty two. The world made a terrible mistake,
- 9:43Speaker 2: particularly France and England by not preventively attacking Germany in
- 9:48Speaker 2: nineteen thirty five when they could have destroyed them. Instead
- 9:51Speaker 2: they let them grow and one hundred million people died,
- 9:53Speaker 2: including six million Jews. This is the opportunity to prevent
- 9:57Speaker 2: that from happening. Just imagine if you run ever developed
- 10:00Speaker 2: the nuclear bomb, it would use it. It would use it,
- 10:04Speaker 2: unlike other countries that have the mom that use them
- 10:07Speaker 2: for detern purposes. They have to use it. It's part
- 10:10Speaker 2: of their religious phenomena that they have to destroy the enemies,
- 10:14Speaker 2: and the major enemies are America and Israel. And so
- 10:18Speaker 2: this is the opportunity to end the warmongering a country
- 10:24Speaker 2: in the Middle East that threatens everybody there. And unless
- 10:28Speaker 2: they are destroyed and regime change occurs, we will never
- 10:32Speaker 2: have peace in the Middle East never, no matter what,
- 10:34Speaker 2: no matter what happens with the Palestinians, no matter what
- 10:37Speaker 2: happens with the abraham Of course, as long as Iran
- 10:40Speaker 2: is there, there will be terrorism.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Thank him.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Part of their philosophy.
- 10:44Speaker 1: That's I keep saying that on Fox News every time
- 10:46Speaker 1: I get called out by Alex Jones and General Michael
- 10:49Speaker 1: Flynn and Joe Kent, all these traitors that are like, oh,
- 10:54Speaker 1: you want to kill our kids. No, no, no, I
- 10:56Speaker 1: never said that. In fact, when they ask me this
- 10:58Speaker 1: Saturday on Fox News about it, I said, I would
- 11:01Speaker 1: love to do it without one boot on the ground,
- 11:04Speaker 1: without one agree with.
- 11:05Speaker 2: You completely, and I think it's doable without one American
- 11:08Speaker 2: boot on the ground.
- 11:09Speaker 1: But here's Rooso said, I'm not Jack Keene. I know
- 11:13Speaker 1: you agree with me. I don't want to have one
- 11:15Speaker 1: American die. But if it turns out that our intelligence
- 11:18Speaker 1: America and Israel says we need some boots on the
- 11:21Speaker 1: ground to finish them, then we have to do it.
- 11:24Speaker 1: We gotta win.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Not only that, but Israel will be the first to
- 11:28Speaker 2: send in their soldiers, because the Israel has always said,
- 11:32Speaker 2: we don't want a single drop of American blood shed
- 11:34Speaker 2: on our behalf. We can do all the fighting. Just
- 11:37Speaker 2: give us the red, the green light, just let us
- 11:39Speaker 2: do it. Israel has the capacity, through its own weaponry
- 11:44Speaker 2: and its own airplanes, to set back and possibly destroy
- 11:49Speaker 2: and possibly create regime change. The only problem is the
- 11:52Speaker 2: United States not only isn't doing it, they're stopping Israel
- 11:55Speaker 2: from doing it. So I hope the meeting today results
- 11:58Speaker 2: in a real list sick assessment of how both America
- 12:04Speaker 2: and Israel and President Trump himself could benefit by complete
- 12:09Speaker 2: destruction of the Iranian terrorist regime. That has to be
- 12:14Speaker 2: the end goal.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Agreed final two minutes. I never really talked to you
- 12:17Speaker 1: about this, but Anthony Fauci is going to speak tomorrow
- 12:21Speaker 1: in front of Congress, and I don't like him. I
- 12:23Speaker 1: think he turned out to be a very very bad man.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I think he knows a lot more than he's told people.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I think he did things and recommended things end up
- 12:31Speaker 1: getting people hurt, killed and stupid, to be honest, and
- 12:35Speaker 1: I think he's actually one of the worst men in
- 12:38Speaker 1: my lifetime. Now he's set to speak tomorrow. Ron Johnson,
- 12:41Speaker 1: who's a good friend of mine, the senator from Wisconsin.
- 12:43Speaker 1: He's out there every day providing more and more information
- 12:46Speaker 1: Why Anthony Fauci is that bad guy? What are your thoughts?
- 12:50Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts on Anthony Fauci.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Well, you're going to be disappointed. I remember Anthony Fauci
- 12:56Speaker 2: when he grew up in Brooklyn and was a great
- 12:59Speaker 2: basketball player for one of the Catholic schools. He told
- 13:02Speaker 2: me York, and I've always kind of liked him as
- 13:05Speaker 2: a person. I don't know enough about the medical stuff
- 13:08Speaker 2: to make a judgment about that. All I want is
- 13:11Speaker 2: the old the truth to come out of transparency. Let
- 13:14Speaker 2: everything come out, and then you know, if he wants
- 13:16Speaker 2: to come to the vinyard and do a little one
- 13:18Speaker 2: on one with me. I'm a little older than he is,
- 13:20Speaker 2: but I still have a good corner jump shot. I
- 13:23Speaker 2: played for Brooklyn's on Mudical Academy. We played in Madison
- 13:26Speaker 2: Square Garden. My opponent was a guy named Ralph Lauran.
- 13:31Speaker 2: He had a different name, Ralph Lipschitz at the time.
- 13:34Speaker 2: But those are the good old days the basketball between
- 13:37Speaker 2: the Catholic schools and the Jewish schools. They mostly beat us,
- 13:40Speaker 2: but occasionally I hit the winning basket against Saint Francis Academy.
- 13:45Speaker 2: And so you know, I am a much better basketball
- 13:50Speaker 2: player in my imagination than I ever was. But I'm
- 13:53Speaker 2: happy with my imagination now.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Me too, touch me. I scored eighteen points in one
- 13:57Speaker 1: game coming off the bench against Flatbush. Went to Solomon Schechter,
- 14:01Speaker 1: and I talk about myself like I'm Michael Jordan.
- 14:03Speaker 2: I swear to God against Slapshyeshiva too, and we used
- 14:07Speaker 2: to beat Slapisheshiva. But we loved playing against them because
- 14:10Speaker 2: they had girls.
- 14:11Speaker 1: They had girls, and but in.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Brooklyn's Musical Academy were ott boys. So I didn't know
- 14:17Speaker 2: you went to Solomon Chef.
- 14:18Speaker 1: I did for three years. You know what happened. I
- 14:20Speaker 1: went to poly Prep for five years, and my parents
- 14:22Speaker 1: were spending a lot of money and I wasn't doing
- 14:24Speaker 1: very well. And all of my friends their names ended
- 14:27Speaker 1: in vowels. So I was becoming Italian. They go, where's
- 14:30Speaker 1: your Jewish friends? I go, there's five Jews who go
- 14:33Speaker 1: to poly Prep. So they went the other way and
- 14:35Speaker 1: they sent me to Yeshiva for three years Solomon Schechter,
- 14:38Speaker 1: and I graduated from there before I went to Miami.
- 14:40Speaker 1: You know last one, I did text doctor Ofia Falk
- 14:44Speaker 1: with your idea to actually greet BB at the airport
- 14:47Speaker 1: when they arrived in September, and he gave me a
- 14:49Speaker 1: bums up. So all you gotta do is call Bebe.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Well, let's do it. Let's do it. I'll try to
- 14:54Speaker 2: reach him. But by the way, I was turned down
- 14:57Speaker 2: at Slapishyeshiva because I did have good enough grades. I
- 15:01Speaker 2: finished like thirty ninth out of forty seven in my class.
- 15:06Speaker 2: I was bottom, bottom of the cowl. You must have
- 15:09Speaker 2: been you must have been smoking weed or b minuses.
- 15:12Speaker 2: And I just didn't get along with the rabbis. And
- 15:14Speaker 2: then I went to Brooking College and I was top
- 15:16Speaker 2: of my class. Yeah, law school, I was first in
- 15:18Speaker 2: my class. I had to get at like you. You
- 15:20Speaker 2: had to get out of Poli, had to get out
- 15:22Speaker 2: of Yeshiva, and I thrived after that I but I
- 15:25Speaker 2: kept my jewishness because my friends whose names ended with
- 15:28Speaker 2: val tended to be Shapiro.
- 15:34Speaker 1: This may be your best appearance ever. You know that, Allen,
- 15:36Speaker 1: And they're all great, They're all great. This may be
- 15:38Speaker 1: your best one.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Well wait, wait till you have me back and have
- 15:40Speaker 2: me sang yesterday, I sang the song the prayer for
- 15:45Speaker 2: Israeli soldiers mishebirovout.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Raham. You's fucked Fiako who yevore at highla tatsar haganah
- 15:59Speaker 3: lew when you get me back saying that.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Was beautiful show, that was beautiful. I hear that song.
- 16:07Speaker 1: I always cried. That was a very good rendition. That
