This long format interview is what we need! Thank you to the Hill for doing this!
Yeah, this is good work. They grilled him, he became defensive but justified his behavior honorably.
25 min isn’t long format
@@laubachm11 compared to Joe Rogan, No. Compared to cable news, Absolutely!
Agreed.
24 mins? Try 3 hours!
Ryan gets big ups for bringing up Norm Finklestein.
YES
!!!! Yes! Grim is a journalist’s journalist! Fantastic.
Agreed. Ryan has a good memory and a knack for bringing up esoteric (to the average person) but relevant and interesting details.
I only hope that he goes beyond displaying his knowledge and memory and follows up.
In this case, have Norm appear on the show for a rebuttal.
@@user-gn1ef8qd2i uhhhh He&l no... good question tho.
And then he lies and says he didn't send a letter. He's a fucken hypocrite. It would have been praise worthy had Ryan pointed that out. Instead, he just b let AD steamroll right over it and him.
"You had a massage at Jeffrey Epstein's house?!" ... priceless reaction.
All lawyers have family massages arranged at their clients’ homes right? 😉
The Hill supporting pedophiles is our mission statement
@@jesstiss222 As do presidents and other influential people. When you hang out with really rich people you get perks like that. What do you think Joe Biden did on his vacation at the lavish Kiawah Island private estate he visited recently, as part of his record number of vacations?
He had his wife & other relatives there also and if his accuser lied about All Gore, it is reasonable to assume she lied about Dershowitz too.
"Well, I was supposed to get a massage, but they couldn't find the step ladder and she wasn't tall enough to reach me as I was on the massage table. So Jeffrey suggested that I lay on the floor and she should just skip ahead to the happy ending. I don't think that qualifies as an actual massage...Or does it?"
Why didn't you guys grill fauci like this? That could have been the most viral fauci video on the internet
My sentiments exactly! Kim would have grilled him if she had been allowed....
Controlled opposition
@@dannyweilthereisnorussiaga6594 that term gets thrown around, however this is an excellent example. I still think the hill is an important channel to watch; mainstream by proxy
Exactly
AGREED!!!!
Where was this highly critical grilling when Fauci was on. So ridiculous!
So true. They totally coddled Fauci.
Faucci's team would only do the interview if Rising agreed to limited questions.
YES!!!!!
They did not allow Kim Iverson to interview him. That's why she left The Hill. That's why I unsbscribed.
Fauci wasn’t on Rising Fridays
Probably the best segment on The Hill Rising - I love the challenge and His responses. Great exchanges!
He was pretty bold to allow himself to be challenged by three hosts.
@@Rich-hm9ux
He's a celebrity lawyer of celebrities who lost his celebrity.
A cynic may say that he had nothing else to lose, so he may as well double down and face his detractors head-on.
@@liuj88 good theory.
“Good Counsellors lack no clients “ -Shakespeare
This is an interview we have needed and we need a lot more with several more people that are closer to Epstein.
especially creepy former president slick willy billy clinton!
We need to put all these pedophiles in prison.
Alan Dershowitz is unique. Even when I agree with him, I just want him to shut up. Always interrupting. Always lawyering. Uniquely unlikeable.
he seems hella sus.
nobody like lawyers unless they are your lawyer. lol
However, AD made some good clarifying points that changed my previously under informed opinion of him. He needed to be insistent to be heard, even if the other party is trying to be fair - one must always insert one’s full assertions. Otherwise - one risks being defined by others.
I'd love to see him get steamrolled by a high educated British equivalent.
He knows how to be argumentative and make a strategic mess. Sometimes I like him, sometimes I think he’s ridiculous. Goes with the territory I guess.
How come you felt so comfortable asking Alan Dershowitz tough questions (and I support you on this) yet threw nothing but obsequious softballs at Dr. Anthony Fauci.
A lawyer with questionable relationships with his clients vs a government bureaucrat hired during the Regan administration era.
Nobody with a book critical of Israel would ever get tenure... Sure Alan, you do have a point there... maybe not the great point you think it is though.
That criticism may be true, but doesn't make him a cancel culture advocate for arguing within the normal academic processes.
Now maybe there is more information to show some kind of influence peddling, but otherwise I'd say that is on academia not him in that instance, whether he was right or wrong.
@@colinshanahan6118 based on what?
Pretty sure he didn’t say that.
He did answer every question. He should be given credit for that. And it is evident and quite interesting that he was never “cancelled” over the Epstein stuff. Only over Trump.
Almost nobody has been cancelled over the Epstein stuff, though. Interestingly, they haven't even tried to use that against Trump.
Because he had questions beforehand...and because he is a resistance Trumper...he got a pass.
I don't think people are seeing the big picture they saw. Trump is just a scapegoat, and the elite would rather cancel him over Trump because it takes the attention away from Epstein. It's OUR job to not forget!
@@LPAFilm Not sure what a resistance Trumper is as he voted against Trump twice. He is actually a more traditional liberal that is for liberty and freedom instead of the modern liberal that sees the rule of law as something to be misused to gain and hold authority.
Everything I hate in lawyers in one man
Why no question on his essay from the 90s arguing for dropping the age of consent to 13 with no restriction on the man's age?
Good point!
Oh no, I didn't know that... Gross
The more Alan Dershowitz speaks, the more guilty he sounds.
I legit came here to say this. He's lying through his teeth.
i was thinking the same thing..for sure
@mike Hutchinson That's why he's a very successful liar... I mean lawyer....
@mike Hutchinson maybe another class on sociopaths is warranted.
difference between a sociopath and a childish liar is the people listening to them. People like mike Hutchinson makes liars sociopath
Saying we wouldn’t have questioned John Adams at that time is like saying we all would have fought to free slaves. Most people then, as now, went with the status quo. That’s human nature. We all want to believe we aren’t followers but there are very very few leaders in history who stuck their necks out for others. That’s why we remember them.
I probably wouldn't unless he seemed to act underhanded in some way but then I expect defense attorney's to be biased for their clients. John Adams ideals evolved and and the experience of defending those British soldiers whom were acting as law enforcement was part of the process.
A whole lot of people fought to free slaves. I'd like to think I would have been one of them. I can't prove it, obviously.
@@russ4moose I fight for pro life but I have not always done so. The moral argument against slavery may well have convinced me. I tend to respect the rule of law which means I woul see it as a state issue before certain states succeded.
WHAT??? Most are happy to follow. Leading requires risk-taking.
"I had massages at his house, so did my wife, my children stayed there too... but we didn't get along..." Right.
And he went to his home when he came home from prison lol.
He hated the neck massage too lol
You realize Virginia admitted she lied about Prof Dershowitz and dropped her lawsuit right?
Wow, that was an amazing interview. Well done RIsing, well done.
How did they get this interview to actually grill him for 25 minute! This is impressive good work!
Because Dershowitz has nothing to hide and destroyed every single accusation
I was very worried seeing the title and seeing Ryan. I haven’t gotten into it I hope I’m not disappointed cause Ryan is my hero and he better dig into the Epstein stuff.
True. A set up.
@@Hodapp
"I hope I’m not disappointed cause Ryan is my hero...."
How did it go for you?
Ryan can no longer disappoint me, because he's pushed my expectations far too low.
If only he showed a third of the effort against Deshowitz that he took against Kim Iversen.
Ryan is exceptionally middle of the road
"I was not cancelled in Martha's Vineyard due to Epstein"
So sad isn't it?
Just pointing out that the mainstream don't care about epstein relation. They only cared after he defended Trump and put all of their efforts to burn him now. This interview was perfect example. They went at him hard. They didn't against Fauci. That days it all.
You could tell he misunderstood the ideological motivations of Robby, Emily and Ryan.
That zip code is full of the kind of people involved in ALL OF THIS SH¡T !
The Hill needs to give Virginia Giuffre an opportunity to defend herself against his allegations of lying.
The courts should not allow the wealthy to buy the silence of those who have witnessed their crimes.
VG main problem is that as an adult she too participated in luring children into Epstein bedroom before she ran away. AD is looking to exploit that fact in court to clear his own name.
I agree.
Giuffre has never made her allegations against Dershowitz in a public forum. She has done it in court, where she has protection against defamation. Dershowitz would love for her to go on rising and make her comments public about him so that he can sue her for defamation.
You realize Virginia admitted she lied about Prof Dershowitz and dropped her lawsuit right?
There crimes Virginia was 17 and the age of consent in the UK is 16........I think she is looking for $........ This is not to say that the wealthy and powerful never abuse children........Jonbonet Ramsey ect......
Good Interview. To BAD Dr. Fauci didn't get the same treatment. Principles only go so far!
"C'mon Man"
Wish they had the same enthusiasm when interviewing Dr. Fauci!
Yo, O_o What did I just watch? The balls on this guy to go on this call 3 against 1 haha. I learned so much. Thank you The Hill.
I think he could have handled 20 of these lightweights.
And to thinks he’s what? 85.? Man alive. What a brain!
Well done, Rising team! Thanks for holding his feet to the fire and pushing back when he interrupted.
How do you feel now that Virginia dropped her lawsuit and admitted she lied about Prof Dershowitz?
Alan should be under the jail.
Yes, with a top bunk and plenty of sheets.
@@dannyweilthereisnorussiaga6594 word!!
You realize Virginia admitted she lied about Prof Dershowitz and dropped her lawsuit right?
@@happyhaf130 Don’t care.
Wow. Alan “I kept my underpants on during the massage” Dershowitz. Fox News loves him. He’s the epitome of a creep.
And Guess Who’s lawyer…
@@sthubbins4038 who?
Which is why beliefs that he committed actual crimes are more likely to be informed by biases than facts.
Please include CC on your reports so the hearing impaired can enjoy your programs. Thank you in advance.
RUclips CCs work for me.
There is a CC button on the RUclips player. That should work.
It doesn't work well when multiple people are talking, though
The insistence that he did nothing wrong his entire life is a sign of delusion
They can have 3 people interview this guy but can't let Kim interview fauci
Thank You, Ryan Grim, Alan Dershowitz, and Emily Jashinsky.
I can’t understand what type of room Alan Dershowitz is in. Is that a slanted ceiling with pictures of glued to the ceiling?
Slanted wall. But every piece of paper in those picture frames is as yellow as his teeth and just as old too.
He's in an A-frame cabin as far as I can tell
Maybe an attic office? It's very confusing with all those pictures above him.
Looks like he's reclining and looking up at the camera.
Your job is hard and I appreciate your efforts to do this better. I think the Hill has an opportunity to be great, but ultimately I think they will run you all off just as they did Krystal, Saagar, and Kim Iverson. Either way you three are growing and getting better. I am thankful for these type of conversations.
They should keep this team together and on all the time.
Krystal and Saagar did not get 'run off'. They decided to do their own show because they get to cover what they want, and to try a new model, which is only be beholden to the audience, since it's audience funded.
Alan Dershowitz, the man who got Norman Finklestein cancelled because he caught him plagiarising is moaning about cancel culture 😅
Great interview, this is what we were expecting from you guys with Dr. Fauci.
This is the guy who said he had his boxers on while…yeah. Gross
Finally! A contentious interview!
How convenient that it didn't occur with the Fauci interview.
@@mikexcopeland ya that's why my girl Kim left.... I agree with you on vanilla fauci interview
@@ashyguns8669 Kim couldn't handle the heat of real journalism y'all . Common now.
It took three of them to try to ambush him.
This guy has guilt written all over his face.
He just sounds defensive, but that was stated in the title of the clip
Look at his body language. how he haughtily holds his arrogant head.
@@dannyweilthereisnorussiaga6594 You sound like the "body language expert" who tried to prove Bernie was sexist.
@@dinobotpwnz A good example of American Exceptionalism circling the drain.
Share your expertise. We can eliminate juries and trials...just ask you.
'The Price of Principle, Why Integrity is worth the consequences'. Are you kidding me? This guy has proven time and time again, he has no Integrity. Why would anyone read this book?
Also proved there aren't consequences for the lack of integrity.
"I chose to take all these cases involving defending these rich people on principal alone! "
This is excellent and nuanced work! You guys are getting better!
Hahahaha! This is amazing! He just keeps digging!!
The gift that keeps on digging
The fool is his own lawyer. All lawyers like myself tell their clients NEVER to talk unless questioned and only if legally questioned. I know this is the law of public opinion, for we have no laws in the 'rule based' country, but the more this whiner speaks, the bigger the hole gets.
What is laughable, and a good laugh is deserved, is that this cockroach will go down in history in flames.
And he knows it.
Begging for attention all his life. Well you got it now, Allan. And remember, thegreat thing about interviews is that you do not have to keep your shorts on.
You realize Virginia admitted she lied about Prof Dershowitz and dropped her lawsuit right?
Oh, I can’t wait to hear what the crew have to say about THIS interview later!!!
Guilty or not, this dude is part of the problem.
That interview was amazing. Strong questions. And enough time for the person to answer those strong questions! Excellent on both sides
Somebody need to tell the guest to shut up and listen to the question.
Alan said " I have gotten many people a good deal who have committed FAR WORSE CRIMES"......
If that is not an admission of his ETHIC per his Vocation as a defense lawyer, I dunno what is.
He is guilty, if for nothing more than getting guilty people off the hook. he is guilty!!!
Are we against giving the accused proper defense now?
@@patrickd5274 He said "committed far worse crimes"...committed not "accused", being the operative word!
You have little understanding of our judicial system. The defense lawyer cannot lie down because he believes his client is guilty. The other lawyers must prove guilt.
So many commenters seem to have a personal dislike for Dershowitz and attorneys in general. That is, until you find yourselves in a legal dilemma, falsely accused or not, facing severe criminal prosecution or financial ruin. Only then will you personally understand why everyone, even the most loathsome, are entitled to vigorous legal representation.
Too many have been falsely accused and vindicated decades after the fact. Some never vindicated. Even the guilty are entitled to due process under the law. There are no exceptions, no matter how you feel personally.
Everyone's morals are different. If our Constitution and justice system were based on how the majority feels, many innocent people would suffer with no recourse.
Alan Dershowitz is a renowned legal scholar and defense attorney because of his skilled advocacy, not his personality. He is a legal scholar, not a politician. Whether he's likeable is immaterial.
True , and never mind that they swear an oath to represent their clients without prejudice.
This man is amazingly sharp for a 84 years old man. I cannot wait to see the details of the trial. He is a shark, an amazing lawyer!
I only listened to the audio, and could have fooled me how old he was. People always talk about how Presidents should have a max age, but this guy defies that kind of ageist thinking, as he seems to be pretty sharp still.
Emily: “I don’t think you know that sir “
You go Emily!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
That was awesome. She’s got so much confidence. As a women with 3 girls, she makes me proud.
Dershowitz is a controversial character but he's also deeply principled. We need people like him to raise the banner of advocacy for issues that the prevailing culture has lost their way on. Free speech and the right to representation are absolutely essential.
This is the Rising Team. Use this team everyday please. You've lost Kim, but this is the best you have left.
lost Kim...very happy...emily represents the right in a sane manner...Kim was losing that fast
@@MrDannyHeim ...but Kim isn't Right tho. smh.
@@MrDannyHeim I think Kim would crumble at the slight questioning because she only had talking points and could not defend her views. They use to treat her with kid gloves and moment someone really challenged her (Olayemi) she was finished
@@MrDannyHeim Kim was more centre-left. Emily is a real conservative.
@@waleadeyemi6239 You have the correct assessment. I saw Kim crumble many times when her Radars were challenged; she usually would respond with: 'well, I don't know...'
This was a masterclass in how to try to control a narrative and steer perceptions. And also why such powerful, manipulative communicators rarely dare take interviews with smart, unbiased people.
If you watch this again, notice how he distances himself with each topic he doesn’t want to be associated with. Very clever man but don’t be gullible enough to fall for all his sleight of hand tricks.
I have sooooo many questions lol
Good job, y’all.
Yep!
Totally agree
There’s absolutely NO way Dersh is unaware of that picture of Bill Clinton getting a massage from one of Epstein’s girls. Such a liar. The short, singular Trump convo is an obvious lie. Like am I really supposed to believe that when Epstein got arrested in 2019, Trump talked to Dersh ONCE and was like “Hey Alan, how is Jeffrey Epstein?” and Dersh said “Idk, I haven’t talked to him in a while.” And that was it? Like come on what a ridiculous lie.
@@user-gn1ef8qd2i how do you know a lawyer is lying? His lips are moving.
@@user-gn1ef8qd2itotally! But I can actually buy that the convo went just like that, but the key would be hearing the intonations, watching their expressions, and body language, right? You know mobsters like these guys know how to say a LOT when they’re not “saying anything” lol.
These guys are no amateurs, but I think Dershowitz fd up, thinking that the Rising hosts were. These narcissistic power-hungry people can’t help but tell on themselves when you give them enough rope to hang themselves …pardon the irony.
I’m curious to see what happens with the cans of worms he just popped open or if the powers that be will continue to play dumb and ignore this in self-protection.
The Dersh said he knew for certain that Jizzy Jeff was NOT an asset of Mo’ Sad. They should have pressed him on this, asked how he knows this with certainty.
That’s a dangerous thing to press Jack
How can anyone sit through this and not call bs?
You'd need to be intimately familiar with the details of the case to do so. Is there evidence that Al Gore was on the island after all which makes Giuffre's testimony reliable again? Or is Dershowitz lying that she accused Al Gore? I don't know.
This was the same guy who said “the gov has the right to come in your house and shove a needle in your arm.”
Because it’s in the case law and the Court is okay with it. Not sure he supported.
Big fan of forcing things into your body against your will….. especially children . Good job jab addicts
That is him. Uglier everyday. I envy the youth: they did not have to grow up with him
Proud of you guys for this interview!!
I don’t think this was the interview he expected lol.
The Hill: “Want to promote your book?”
Alan: “sure!”
The Hill: “New book, very impressive…so, anyways…”
WE HAD VERY LITTLE CONTACT OTHER THAN THE MASSAGES ME AND MY WIFE HAD IN HIS HOUSE AND WHEN MY KIDS STAYED AT HIS MANSION OTHER THAN THAT WE WERE BARELY EVEN ASSOCIATES
I could barely watch this video, just looking at Dershowitz makes my skin crawl. I literally need to shower now
You spelled figuratively wrong.
This went about how you would suspect a grilling of one of the best defense lawyers in American history would go.
He destroyed them
What, you gonna get Maxwell on too now that Kim Inerson is gone?
Kim Iverson wasn't particularly smart or even knowledgable on mNy basic issues.
Konspiracy Kim?
@lionzion32 then you don't have any go watch tyt
@@keileybro she reminds of TYT. They have the same level IQ even if they disagree
Wow!! Great job on both sides! He certainly seems like he's living the title of his book.
Wow he thinks he can actually talk his way out of this 😳
Canceled checks apparently prove who gave the massage lol. 🤦♂️
The idea that Epstein would accept counsel from someone guilty of the same crimes as him is extra-ordinary. By far the simplest explanation is that Dershowitz's friendship with Epstein was benign.
@@dinobotpwnz
I don't think it extraordinary at all. Not when the lawyer in question is a caricature of Martin Vail and loves representing questionable and controversial clients.
@@pingamalinga Everyone who needs a lawyer is questionable by definition. But yes. He loves representing clients that other lawyers are afraid to represent because that ensures that the Miranda "right to an attorney" can actually be realized.
What a Sleeze Ball!!!
These long winded questions and not even giving the man the chance to finish answering.
This guy is super evil
Evil is a biblical term. Heis a criminal and a sociopath.
This is what confuses me...we are listening to one of the main players
Is "main player" a crime? How do you define "main player?" You watched the video. Are you now a criminal?
"I didn't get cancelled over the Epstein thing at Martha's Vineyard." Yeahh, that's bad but not for the reasons you think it's bad.
This guy is why people hate lawyers
Chomsky has beaten this guy in debates and books published.
One question. WHY? Why of all places on the planet did he and supposedly his family get a massage at Jeffery Epsteins house? WHY?
So you can never get a massage anywhere just in case you later learn that the owner of the building where you get it is a child molester?
He explained why. And at the time no one knew of Epstein's perversions. Why don't you understand that?
@@larrymaloney877 explained? Guess that makes it true.
@@mbb8488 , Do you have evidence to the contrary?
And especially having the amount of wealth he has, he could have gotten those massages anywhere else
Dershowitz acquits himself very well.
The team did a good job at interviewing him. Keep brining great interviews like this one.
This was so well done. Props to the Rising team!
This guy is so good at arguing its amazing
Wow! What an amazing interview. Without judging if he’s being honest or not, I will say I give him much credit for facing 3 people who are no afraid to ask hard questions and push back. Much respect to all 4.
Respect to a predator who all but certainly broke the law with underage girls? Nope.
Finally a great interview, please have more like this one, also you should have asked fauci a series of questions with as much emphasis as with this interviewee, Kim Iverson should have been allowed to be present during the interview, as she had been keenly aware of fauci's doings to deflect and the overwhelming concerns of many Americans
These questions were not "hard questions" there should have been more followups.
The problem is that he understands the facts of this stuff better than anyone so it's hard to pin this snake down
He has refused to answer questions. He just talked over everyone so he couldn’t even hear a question. Talking over people repeating that he’s such an honorable man is not answering questions.
Rising lets Robbie sit in on this one but wouldn’t let Kim Iversen sit in on Fauci.
Iverson thankfully, is gone.
great interview! good job rising!!
Robby 👏👏👏👏👏 Best question ever to a controversial guest.
My jaw is on the floor
Great interview!!👏🏼👏🏼 I wish Kim, Ryan, and Emily had interviewed Fauci!!!!
He never heard about it, didn't know, left his shorts on, cares about the law and justice, is humanitarian ------ this is law in the US.
Principles from a person who lacks them.
Great job, you three
AD is an excellent lawyer. He can take something we all know and introduce doubt. I am proud of the Rising team pressing him though.
Greg, all AD did was replace bias with fact. Any great lawyer can do that.
Of course they knew who epstein was like, Trump did clinton did all of them did..
So Robbie could come in/stay over on a day and time that is unusual for him and interview Alan Dershowitz but they couldn’t make the same concession for Kim to interview Fauci?
I think the difference is that Dershowitz was willing to be questioned and Fauci was not..
I'm a Democrat and not a Trump fan at all. Alan may be a Republican but he at least is hyperintelligent and brings forth valid, illustrating points to a discussion. I despise the censoring of any books whatsoever whether I like them or not, and I don't like the fact that some of his are. If I could find proof that my party is censoring his brilliant, illuminating books, then I will gladly leave my party. I don't play that sh*t. Btw, I have all his books and have read and enjoyed them all, they've made me a much wiser man.
He reminds me of Rudi Giuliani.
without the shoe polish running down his face.
Great Interview! Probably the best one done since Kim left the show.
A huge missed opportunity and possibly a better interview that this would've been Kim interviewing Fauci!
Kudos on the interview
Wow. What an interview! What a character! What a shame this has only 30k views! Cheers to The Rising, which is one of the best news shows on RUclips.
A 50 year old masseuse named Olga… Riiiight.
Should have brought up the black book, and video cameras that Epstein had in his homes.
Where was this energy during the Fauci interview?
I remember McCarthy.... we need Joseph Welch.
This was one of the best interviews I have seen on this channel. I have to admire Dershowitz for answering the tough questions.
Ppl in the comments are insane. They want to believe every Epstein allegation so hard that they don’t even need evidence for anything.
Alan is trying to tell us about principles. Filth.
Great interview very good job especially from Emily Jashinsky
great work guys!!!
