“Justice Thurgood Marshall said the First Amendment has two sides: the right to speak and the right to hear,” says Alan Dershowitz, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, “and the right to hear is just as important as the right to speak.”

In a recent episode of “American Thought Leaders,” host Jan Jekielek and Dershowitz discuss the cases being litigated against former President Donald Trump, his legal vulnerabilities, and the broader assault on civil liberties. Dershowitz is the author of a new book, “Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law.”

Jan Jekielek is a senior editor with The Epoch Times, host of the show “American Thought Leaders.” Jan’s career has spanned academia, international human rights work, and now for almost two decades, media. He has interviewed nearly a thousand thought leaders on camera, and specializes in long-form discussions challenging the grand narratives of our time. He’s also an award-winning documentary filmmaker, producing “The Unseen Crisis,” “DeSantis: Florida vs. Lockdowns,” and “Finding Manny.”
