Have you ever been afraid? >> That word doesn't exist in my dictionary. I went to the medical [music] examiner's office. He says, "What are you doing here?" I said, "I came to stop an autopsy." He says, "You came to what?" I said, "To stop an autopsy." He says, "This is city property. I can arrest you." I said, "That we'll talk about tomorrow." And a day later I went down again. She says, "So, what are you doing here today?" I said, "I came to be arrested." [music] He became a friend of mine and we both have some real to stop hundreds, thousands of autopsies. American ambassador calls, "Can you meet with the Pope?" I said, "Of course." I start speaking to him in German. He [music] spoke 3 and 1/2 minutes. All the press came running over to me. "What did you just discuss?" I said, "When two religious leaders speak, it's not for the press to know." They were furious. [music] They wanted to kill me. It used to be like I was an anti-Semite. They would privately curse the Jews. Now you can walk over and spill something on a Jew's face. >> It's [music] worse now than it was when you were a teenager. That's a very scary thought. >> And I walk with my spadic in the street every Shabbos and I think that it's disgusting for people to hide their religion.
