And I doubled down in academics in ways that I had never done before in my life with a chip on my shoulder. I want to prove that I'd be there. And you are. You are absolutely. And I have to tell you something, Senator, I remember you because in 1990 I took two little girls my little girls who are ones now ah, lawyer and Newport Beach and the other one is at George Washington law school. I took him to Stanford. I'm an SC boy. And there's this guy named Cory Booker who scored a touchdown against USC. And I remember that blasted touchdown. You were incredible. I appreciate that. Email.

Well, my granddad, uh, larger than life character and both my father and my grandfather, you know, it was my father's father in law. They were took similar character, and my grandfather would load me and my brother and the other five grandchildren up in a beat up the mobile home that is called the Green Dream. And they would drive across the country and tell us about our history and tryto Byron. And we would pepper them with questions. If my grandmother didn't know the answer, the question he would often make him up. Stories will be glorious driving to Yuma, Arizona. What? I asked, why Granddad did they call the town Yuma, Arizona? And he said, Well, son was a gunfight, and one man shot the other. And it was the founding of the town and the man's last words.

We've got Alan Dershowitz with us today. The former Felix Frankfurter professor at Harvard University Always like saying that, Alan, that sounds so cool. How are you doing? I am doing fine. We're causing trouble. And, boy, you sure are doing it, too. I hope I've been a civil of Well, that reminds me of the old political saying It depends on whose ox gets gored. And that's the picture of me with Al Gore and Brian Oxman. I am the yacht that got Gore. You have a great quote that says the first rule in American crime is that if you're going to commit a crime committed with somebody Maur important than you so that you can turn them in. Oh, my goodness. Is that what's happened here? That's what happened here. Come back. Okay, we are back. My m Brian Oxman's. But I'm gonna cause a little trouble one and get to talk to you. And I want to tell you a story. This story is so dear to my heart, and it just is amazing as to how I came across that you see, I was researching some of the things that were going on the Sedalia prison in Syria. And it came across the things that Iran was supporting the SOS looking in Iran. And I found an article which was published this week by a guy named Alex Arbuckle. And it's called 1943 Army Truckers in Iran taking the scenic route to the Eastern Front. And oh, my goodness. My mind just floated away to the time back in 1943 when my dad was on the truck route in Iran to serve the Soviet Union with weapons and supplies to battle the Nazis at Stalingrad. Oh, my gosh. He actually arrived there in 1942 and he was one of the Persian Gulf command people. Due to time constraints, we move ahead in the story where Mr O has picked up with an Iranian girl because he looks just like the Shaw of Iran and the girl used to be the Shaws concubine. We moved to the end of the story. So one day my dad drove like crazy along the mountain passes. It was 1945. The war was coming to an end and he got up to the estate and, uh, he saw on his father sitting out on the terrace and he went up to her and said, Where's Hana? And he said, Hana is dead. Young, beautiful Iranian girl honors dead. What happened? She put a gun in her mouth and she killed herself. The father was just devastated. Dad was just devastated. Why? Why? Because she went to see the Shaw. She went to see Raisa Pallotti raise a Pla VI, said that he wouldn't ever see her again. That he was going to marry the queen from Egypt. Her name was flat CIA. She was the daughter of the King of Egypt and he was gonna get married and she was devastated. She came back to her beautiful estate where my father spent these beautiful weekends in love having such a wonderful time that she killed herself. My father told that story so many different times. It makes me misty to think of my dad and to remember him. He passed away just a little while ago. I loved him dearly. And when I was perusing the Internet and found this article, you can look at it. It's on mashable dot com 1943 Army truckers in Iran. That was my dad. Amazing, amazing man. His stories were out of this world. He was a man out of this world and I loved him. So our Brian Oxman and I want you to join me once again and see a next time.
