On this episode, host Amanda Head dives into former President Donald Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial and the weaponization of our justice system with Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz tells Head, “if there’s a conviction here, it will change the justice system forevermore.” The best-selling author goes on to say, “it will weaponize the [justice] system. It will mean that both sides will try to use the legal system as a way of winning elections.” Dershowitz, who was in the New York courtroom, went on to say that, “if there is an acquittal, maybe at least we can say the jury system works. But if there’s a conviction or even a hung jury, it will show the prosecution benefits from bringing a case, which is no crime at all.” The legal scholar also slams Judge Juan Merchan, who is currently overseeing the Trump case in New York. Dershowitz says that he is not ‘unbiased’ and that he also ‘wants a conviction’ of the former president.

The second guest on this episode of the podcast is Abe Hamadeh, Arizona’s 2022 Republican Nominee for Attorney General, and currently a republican candidate for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District. Hamadeh told Head that the Democrats want illegal immigrants to vote in elections so they can get more voters. He said, “The Democrats, they know that they’ve lost the American people.” He goes on to say, “they’re losing black Americans and Hispanic Americans. So what they’re trying to do is get a new voter bloc on their side.” These bold statements come at a time when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) held a press conference earlier this month where they discussed the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act” which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. Hamadeh said that he has noticed some pushback from state legislatures on illegal immigrants being able to vote and some of them have been ‘punching back more effectively’ than he’s ever seen.
