Dan Abrams

And he's a wonderful mensch.

But I was connected with him by Dan Abrams.

who also worked with David Fisher on several books.

And it's because Dan Abrams was reading a book about Ulysses as Grant.

And part of the Grant story was the Louisiana election, gubernatorial election of 1872, and then the presidential election of 1876.

And Dan said, I was like Googling around and I realized nobody had really written a big book about this time period because it was the end of Reconstruction, the beginning of Jim Crow.

Could you imagine? That would be the greatest OP.

That would be like handing Emmys to Dan Abrams like crazy.

Nice job.

The police in Naples, Italy had a bust.

This is the Dan Abrams Law and Crime Podcast, Sirius XM Radio.

Flock cameras.

This has suddenly become a major topic across the country.

So we're able to give us this data in more so than what a flock camera can do.

I think it's equally also important to look at how it is that we got here, Dan, you can't have it both ways, right? After a national calling for, you know, to reduce the size of law enforcement, right? And we can argue all day about, you know, the merits of that.

Well, okay, this in a way, you know helps us to have an omnipresence without having the police officer in the car so i guess which one do you prefer so is it okay then to have a police officer sitting there let's say in the state of new jersey i need no requisite constitutional protection at all when you pass money to type your tag into my car now that's for a random inquiry meaning i can't do a full disclosure and find out that dan abrams however I need nothing to do that.

I don't need to reach any bar to get a pole camera put up on a location.

I could get a pole camera that can watch you, video, audio, everything.

Of course.

So in 2021, Dan Abrams, a chief legal analyst for ABC News, an avid wine collector, he's very big on, on wine in general, he's been part of the industry of wine for many, many years, just as a collector and someone who respects it, and he was so interested in, in owning a vineyard and the opportunity came along for him to purchase Laurel Lake Vineyards, which had been around since 1984.

So in 1984, the owners of Laurel Lake at the time had planted 100% Chardonnay.

They slowly evolved into growing other varietals, but at the time they only sold the grapes.

[upbeat music] This is the Dan Abrams Long Crime Podcast on SiriusXM Radio.

This is the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and I, like many other New Yorkers, had many friends who, uh, were killed on 9/11, a number of friends, I should say.

So it's personal to those of us who grew up in New York, who lived in New York at the time, and today is certainly not about anyone other than the victims and their families, really.

Now, there are a lot of complications with any case that may develop against Anthony Fauci because of the pardon.

Donald Trump addressed that in the Oval Office.

Dan Bongino, uh, last month talking about the challenges of a case against Anthony Fauci.

Of course, the biggest challenge is that there is no crime, which is the similar issue to what we're seeing with this grand conspiracy nonsense where Joe DiGenova just stopped, stepped down, and we've been talking about that.

The fact that [laughs] that Joe DiGenova, one of the most ardent Trump supporters at this point, didn't feel that he could bring a case should tell you everything.

Well, a prime example in our sources is the expansion of the Drinks with Benefits or DWB Festival in New York City.

Founded by Dan Abrams, right?

Yes.

And this is a massive event dedicated entirely to the non-alcoholic and functional beverage space.

Now, what do we do with it? I wanted to give it to ABC News because I thought that they might be OK with this.

I had had some interaction with Dan Abrams, who I used to work for, who used to be the legal correspondent for Good Morning America, still a consultant there.

I thought maybe I could maybe get his help on this.

I had had some contact with Aaron Katursky, who had done a very significant report on the recantation hearing.

Because the incentive structures are all wrong, especially in a highly controversial case.

But let me give you a really good example of why I got so depressed.

I don't have respect for many media members, but one guy I do have respect for is Dan Abrams.

used to work for him, was on his News Nation show dozens and dozens of times.

He was such an outstanding journalist, except when he got caught making up quotes over at Mediaite.

Now, as you folks know, Mediaite is owned by, the founder is Dan Abrams.

Dan Abrams is also an ABC News analyst, and Dan Abrams has probably the most perfect wig ever.

That they, you know, crazy glue on top of his head.

I mean, it's a full scale helmet.

Then they went to conventions.

In early August, Tyler Cox went on Dan Abrams' Sirius XM radio show and said the family hadn't cooperated with law enforcement at all.

He said he'd bet his reputation the phone hadn't been turned over.

The family's attorney, Ahmaud R. Smith, pushed back on correspondence with the DA and called that characterization false.
