We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Hey, everybody. Welcome to this special episode of the Charlie Kirk Show. With us today is the legendary Professor Alan Dershowitz. Honored to have him with us. And I have been a follower and a fan of his for quite some time. We might disagree on certain political issues. I actually think we agree on the big ones, though. So it's an honor to have him with us today. Professor, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

Well, thank you. It's my pleasure to be on with you.
A (1:56)
Thank you. So I'd like to start with the obvious news of the day. It seems as if the House impeachment managers are requesting President Trump to testify in the upcoming Senate trial. I'd like your opinion on whether or not you think that is a good idea. Should the President testify? And if you were advising him, would you recommend he do that?
B (2:17)
Well, first, it's a clever ploy by Jamie Raskin, my former student in the House managers. It's just a public relations stunt. They know he's not gonn testify and they want to be able to say, see, Aha. We asked him to testify he said no, he must have something to hide. No responsible lawyer would allow the President to testify and walk into a perjury trap in front of hostile senators and hostile House managers. So you can be sure he's not going to testify. You can be sure Jamie Raskin is going to make a big deal out of it. And legally it has no effect at all.
