## Resource

Alan Dershowitz gives his two cents discussing the political landscape marked by scandal and shifting social norms. The conversation begins with the news that a former candidate, Spencer Pratt, is threatening to release incriminating recordings that could force a political rival to resign in shame. Shifting focus to Graham Platner, Dershowitz expresses deep concern over the emergence of "thug" politicians who gain popularity despite histories of aggression and extremist imagery.
