John is joined by Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and one of the most prodigious federal prosecutors of the modern era, for the first of two back-to-back episodes on the pitched battle playing out in the federal courts over Donald Trump's agenda. Bharara explains why the velocity, volume, and radicalism of Trump's blizzard of executive actions are testing the legal system in unprecedented ways; Pam Bondi's early moves to remake the DOJ are so ominous; and the claims on the right that court rulings against Trump are tantamount to a judicial coup aren't merely crazy or hyperbolic but actually dangerous. Despite all this, Preet also makes his case for why it's crucial that, instead of freaking out, Trump's critics keep calm and carry on—for now.

On this episode of the GZERO World Podcast, Ian Bremmer discusses the political and legal implications of Donald Trump's felony conviction for the 2024 election and for democracy itself with the New Yorker's Susan Glasser and former US Attorney Preet Bharara.He's the first US president to be convicted of a crime. Donald Trump's 34 felony counts have upended the 2024 Presidential election (for now) and exposed the vulnerability of core democratic institutions like the justice system."The GOP's revisionist history on the trial has already begun," The New Yorker's Susan Glasser tells Bremmer. Former US Attorney Preet Bharara also underscores the trial's legitimacy, stating, "It was an open and fair proceeding. There was a judge who ruled often for the prosecution, but often as well for Donald Trump's side.""The [Republican] party” Glasser adds, “has essentially mortgaged itself to the fate of one individual."Both guests underscore the critical crossroads at which American democracy stands and the profound consequences of Trump's conviction for the upcoming election. Whether or not Trump wins in November is an open question. So, too, is the fate of our democratic institutions.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Susan Glasser, Preet Bharara Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

How might AI infringe on intellectual property and personality rights? And could AI replace Preet as the host of Stay Tuned? This is the final episode of a Stay Tuned miniseries, “AI on Trial,” featuring Preet Bharara in conversation with Nita Farahany, professor of law and philosophy at Duke University. Preet and Nita discuss the hypothetical case of an artificial intelligence chatbot that impersonates Preet as the host of a copycat podcast, Stay Tuned with Bot Bharara. The unauthorized chatbot was trained on everything Preet has ever said or written online. Can Preet protect his intellectual property rights? Is the law on the real Preet's side, or is it time to surrender to an AI-dominated world and collaborate with the bot? Stay Tuned in Brief is presented by CAFE and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

In the Public Interest is pleased to welcome Preet Bharara, former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and current partner at WilmerHale. Bharara, who joined the firm in June 2022, is also a legal analyst for CNN and host of his own podcast, “Stay Tuned with Preet.” Since joining WilmerHale, Bharara has focused his practice on investigations and criminal litigation matters. In this episode, Bharara sits down with In the Public Interest co-host John Walsh to talk about his journey to becoming a leader in the legal profession and the experiences that shaped his unique and storied career. Bharara discusses the incident that vaulted him to the national stage and what drove his headline-making refusal to return a phone call from a newly inaugurated President Trump. Walsh and Bharara share their views on the role of lawyers in supporting our constitutional system and what it means to “do justice,” which Bharara describes as “doing the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” The episode wraps up with Bharara reminiscing on the cases that most heavily influenced his enduring commitment to the pursuit of justice.

Vox Media has been on something of a shopping spree over the past two years. After acquiring Epic to boost its TV production business, New York Media to expand its publishing portfolio and Coral to add to its publishing technology, in April the media company picked up Cafe Studios — the podcast company co-founded by former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara — to round out its podcast network. However, for both Vox Media and Cafe Studios, the motivation behind the deal extends beyond the world of audio. “There's lots of things we're thinking about and planning on, not just continuing additional audio podcasts [including narrative series] in the future,” said Bharara, who was joined by Vox Media Studios president Marty Moe, in the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast. The companies are also looking to extend Cafe Studios into documentary television and live events. Meanwhile, Cafe Studios moves its new parent company further into the subscription business. Vox Media already sells subscriptions via New York Magazine and dabbles in donations via its news publication Vox. But Cafe Studios, which sells subscriptions through its Cafe Insider program, introduces it into the world of subscription-based podcasting. “One of the attractive things about Cafe is learning from [Cafe Insider] and learning how we can potentially extend that to more of our podcasting business, but frankly how we can connect it to and use learnings for other parts of our subscription business,” said Moe.

In this episode, Dinesh compares Trump and Reagan, showing why Trump—not Reagan—is the leader for today, but also what Trump can learn from Reagan to make him even stronger in the future. House Democrats are scared Biden might push the nuclear button; Dinesh agrees that all bets are off when a man enters his “second childhood.” Taking up on his new PragerU video on “identity socialism,” Dinesh goes in-depth into the influence of Herbert Marcuse, who is responsible for the unique type of socialism we see today. Closing out his expose of the corrupt gang at the Southern District of New York, Dinesh does a body slam on Preet Bharara, explaining Bharara’s sorry fate through the Indian concept of karma. Also brash new Congressman Madison Cawthorn joins Dinesh to talk about the new face of the GOP. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One of the things Jeremy has encountered in his research is that people with diverse life experiences are actually more likely to be more reliable in forecasting what’s to come. That’s why we wanted to speak to Vinit Bharara. He’s worn quite a few hats. Now he’s the Founder & CEO of Some Spider Studios, the folks behind Scary Mommy, Fatherly & The Dad - and along with his brother Preet Bharara, he’s also the brains behind CAFE, which covers news, politics and law. He was also the co-founder of and COO of Quidsi, which sold to Amazon in 2011 for over $500 million. Since he’s had a pretty good track record to date of picking winners, I wanted us to have him on to discuss his past successes, becoming customer-centric, the silver linings of COVID, how to identify opportunities - and how to know when it’s time to move on. So let’s jump right in!As always, we welcome your feedback. Please make sure to subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Play.
Preet Bharara, the former U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of New York, joins “The New Abnormal” host Molly Jong-Fast to chat about the last presidential debate, the story leading up to his resignation, and why there could be an "avalanche" of new revelations if President Donald Trump loses the election.Bharara said that the presidential debate was "relatively normal," but that's no thanks to Trump or his opponent Joe Biden. "The person I credit most for that as most people do is Kristen Welker," he said. Jong-Fast then reminds Bharara of one of his proudest moments from 2016: Not calling Trump back. He details the incident and why he doesn't regret his decision for a second. "It is a good thing for public servants not to so badly cling to their job… that you won't do the right thing," he said. Next, Jong-Fast and Bharara chat about the impact of the election outcome and what will happen if Trump loses. "My guess is there is going to be a cascade of people who are going to write books for a lot of money, or good citizens who are going to blow the whistle on all sorts of things… that we don't know about yet," he said. Adding, "I also think the potential for bad conduct and bad activity during the transition, if Trump definitively loses, is going to be very high. It's going to be very difficult for either Congress or some prosecution authorities to ignore what could very well be an avalanche of revelations after January 20, about this president and the conduct of the people in this administration."Lastly, they discuss how someone with Trump's background could never get a national security clearance, Bharara's book Doing Justice, plus more!

As Donald Trump freaks out, holding his maskless rallies and tweeting about how he could garner multimillion dollar donations from corporations for favors he could do for them, it is a good time to commemorate Preet Bharara, former US Attorney for the Southern District of NY. The New York Times called him one of the "nation's most aggressive and outspoken prosecutors of public corruption and Wall Street Crime" during his tenure. Bharara had been asked to remain in his post by the Trump transition team in November 2016, but on 2nd thought decided to fire him instead in March 2017 as he might be investigating the Trump Organization, operating out of Manhattan, in the heart of the Southern District of New York. 'Preet Bharara' is today's Trump Poem of the Day. It is included with many of these podcast poems in '"Believe Me" - Trump Poems Volume 1,' which is available in both hard copy and ebook form from the various usual sources.
On this week’s special episode of Stay Tuned, Preet is joined by two guests. Wes Moore is the CEO of Robin Hood NYC, a New York City-based antipoverty philanthropic organization.

David Lat is a Managing Director at the recruiting firm Lateral Link and the founder of the iconic legal blog Above the Law. Last month, Lat spent almost a week on a ventilator after falling extremely sick with COVID-19. Thankfully, Lat is now on the road to recovery and has been sharing his story and his larger reflections on the pandemic on social media, television, and in powerful opinion pieces in major newspapers.

On this week's episode of Stay Tuned, "Humor in the Time of Corona," Preet answers listener questions about: The impact of COVID-19 on the 2020 Census (and how to fill it out online!) Whether Trump’s suggestion that he would not provide emergency assistance to “unappreciative” governors could be criminal conduct If cable news networks should stop broadcasting Trump’s press conferences on COVID-19 Changing the name of the podcast to something more topical Then, he’s joined by Mike Birbiglia, who is a comedian, writer, director, and an actor. Birbiglia does not shy away from the tough topics in his work and he shares how comedy has been a tool to help him work through personal struggles with health complications. In this sad and stressful time, Birbiglia reveals how the process of crafting and sharing jokes can be healing and cathartic. His most recent one-man show, The New One, is about the turbulent, and ultimately heartwarming, experience of becoming a parent.

Preet Bharara sums himself up this way on Twitter: Patriotic American & proud immigrant. @Springsteen fan. Banned by Putin, fired by Trump. Former US Attorney, SDNY. Host of "Stay Tuned."Bharara came to national attention as a highly successful federal prosecutor who refused to resign from his post in the Southern District of New York. As noted, President Trump dumped him.Mr. Bharara is the author of Doing Justice: A Prosecutor’s Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Rule of Law.
