Legendary legal mind Alan Dershowitz joins Erased! for a raw and fearless conversation about his personal battle with cancel culture. From elite universities to mainstream media, Dershowitz has been targeted, mischaracterized, and falsely accused-all because he refused to back down from his principles. In this episode, he opens up about the emotional toll, the legal fights, and the media's role in distorting truth.
But this isn't just his story-it's a warning shot for anyone who believes in free speech and due process. With intellect, courage, and unwavering conviction, Dershowitz is still fighting back.
One of America's most controversial voices. One unfiltered conversation you can't miss.
