dershowitz. i appreciate it.t you heard the jpmorgan story. >> yes. >> the government is taking $13 billion and god knows what. would you defend jpmorgan? >> absolutely. the problem is you can't defend large corporations that have thousands and thousands of employees against an indictment. once they've been indicted, they can be put out of business. so the presumption of innocence doesn't operate in these large cases. a the government, basically dictates the terms of the settlement because you're terrified to litigate even cases you can win. >> right. that's just -- that's the arthur andersen syndrome. >> right. >> puts the whole thing out of business. >> they won and look what happened. they were out of business. >> let's go to some interesting things. my thesis, having you as a guest on our show from time to time which is a great pleasure. my thesis is alan dershowitz is not as liberal as people think he is. now, i just want to begin with this. you're a great defend other telephone first amendment, freedom of s

. >> and pleased to be joined by alan dershowitz, harvard law professor and author.nks for coming in on this particularly timely day. when it comes to the national security agency potentially tapping a telephone of someone like angela merkel, is there anything that comes across your radar that doesn't scream of this is fair? this is the way it works? or is there something more to it? >> no it's fair. they would try to bug our president if they could. we've been doing it for years. wouldn't it have been wonderful if we could have bugged some of the people before the second world war. what's fair in pieces is different from what's fair in war. the question is is it tactically wise. should we have an understanding with them or be listening in on them? we don't listen to you and you don't listen to us. there's -- >> no, sir no expectation of privacy that the german chancellor would have? >> when you're a public leader you don't expect privacy. i teach my students, when you become a leader, everything you say is fair game. just remember be careful and cautious. there are

joining me now, alan dershowitz, harvard law professor and author of the new book "taking the stand: in the law." professor, good to see you again. sedition? >> i can't wait to defend them. this would really be an easy case to win. move on is an absolutely irresponsible organization. they are the mirror left wing image of the most extreme people on the right, and their idea of trying to criminalize policy differences is absolutely absurd and irresponsible. it's the same thing that some liberals tried to do to tom delay and, of course, his conviction was reversed in the texas courts. what the republicans tried to do to bill clinton. let's punish people politically if you disagree with their politics, but let's not use the criminal justice system improperly. in my book "taking the stand," i talk about overcriminalization, how we go after too many people, how we try to prevent people from seeing films they would like to see even though the state regards them as improper. the same thing is true with many, many other issues, but the idea of extending the criminal law and applying it to di

allen dershowitz he spoke out about the allegations on the kelly files. >> this is silliness. i can tell you what i told him it was done in public not in private. i said get your face out of the public. nobody wants to ever see you again. >> sinmpson is in prison for at least four more years since kidnapping and armed robbery conviction. >> stop soaring after shut do down -- stocks soaring after the deal. could it be too soon to call it a turnaround for investors? we have that story and other top business news this morning. >> stocks are pushed into record territory. a new closing high. it happened on the day the government reopen. the debt ceiling raise. the dow closing lower we had weak earnings from ibm and golden sax. all three are up for the week. s&p's annual gain not far behind. people are making money whether these gains hold in the final couple of months we have to see. toyota is recalling 800,000 vehicles they include the 2012, 2013 camrys avalons hybrids of those cars. the problem is caused by spiders. not making this up. their webs can block a drainage tube in the

i had this fascinating interview with alan dershowitz, who said ted cruz was one of the most brilliant students he had. i was quite surprised. if you see that as the case, al al alan -- is it conceivable that he could emerge despite your misgivings as a potential nominee for republicans, could they win an election with somebody like him at the helm? >> here is the thing, you have to take ted cruz seriously. ted cruz is a pied piper of a certain wing of the republican party. he is very important on the national stage, he is not going anywhere, and you're right, he is very smart. i am not so sure he is a great strategist, maybe he knew he couldn't win, but wanted to raise this as an issue saying i haven't forgotten you folks. i'm still on obama care, it is still a problem for us and i'm still following the grass roots. a lot of politicians come to washington, and the first thing they do is run against washington. i think he has done it in record time. >> and in terms of obama care itself, can we assume literally tomorrow, once the government is back up and running, the debt ceiling issue

alan dershowitz. "how to sweet talk a shark" his new book has risen. two great books, chaps.e size. terrific books, though. let's talk about the republican party going forward. because many on the republican side, including senator john mccain and others, fear this is causing really severe damage to the gop. and they've got some big stuff coming up. the mid-terms, then they've got the main elections in 2016. is this split between a newly galvanized tea party and the main body politic of the gop going to be very much a problem for them? >> it's going to be a problem for them. however, both sides look bad. both parties look bad. but i do think republicans, their dream of take over the senate i think is now gone because of this shutdown debt limit issue. the house republicans, the tea party guys are going to get re-electeded because of gerrymandering. they're probably even going to be stronger. but what i think may emerge is -- and what i think is needed in this country is a stronger moderate republican party that can pass legislation with democrats in the house and the senate.
