Podcast appearances and mentions of Joyce Vance

This week on the Stay Tuned with Preet podcast, Jessica Tarlov, co-host of Fox News's The Five and Vox Media's Raging Moderates podcast, joins Preet to discuss her new book, I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends. Drawing on her experience as the lone liberal on The Five, Tarlov shares best practices for debating people on the opposite side of the political spectrum and why the initial goal shouldn't be to change their mind. Tarlov also discusses how “data-based storytelling” became her argument strategy and how she determines when it's best to stop talking and just listen. Finally, they delve into her theory that Trump supporters don't take politics that seriously and why liberals could benefit from understanding that. At the end of the episode, Preet answers listener questions about Trump's promise to send $5,000 checks to all American adults if Republicans keep control of Congress. Plus, what it means when a government agency asks for public comments about a new rule. In the bonus for Insiders, Tarlov shares her predictions for the midterm elections and whether President Trump can still sway the results. Plus, who Tarlov sees as viable candidates for the 2028 presidential election.  Join the Insider community for access to bonus content from Stay Tuned and weekly episodes of the Insider podcast hosted by Preet and Joyce Vance.

The main event is Kash Patel's defamation suit against The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick. Joyce Vance laid out on her Substack why it goes badly for him regardless of outcome. Dismissal ends it. Survival opens discovery, and Patel filed, which means he answers document requests, interrogatories, and requests for admission, then sits for a deposition, along with however many FBI personnel The Atlantic wants. Fitzpatrick reported the story with 24 sources across the Bureau and the executive branch. Those incidents would generate records. The Atlantic has already asked the FBI and DOJ for documents and communications, and Patel's own defense depends on them. Judge Emmet Sullivan has the motion to dismiss. It is Patel's fifth suit against the media.

Neuroscientist, philosopher, and Making Sense podcast host Sam Harris joins Preet Bharara to examine why good-faith debate has become so difficult—and what that breakdown has done to American politics. They discuss social media's fragmentation of the information landscape and declining trust in the press and public institutions. They also consider Donald Trump's resilience in the face of scandal, the different standards applied to the political left and right, the Democratic Party's relationship with its activist wing, and whether Trumpism can survive Trump. Then, Preet and Sam turn to the rule of law: the growing impulse to prosecute political opponents, the limits of relying on norms, the difference between accountability and retribution, and what it would take to restore a measure of normalcy to American political life. In the bonus for Insiders, Preet and Sam draw on philosopher Harry Frankfurt's essay, On Bullshit, to distinguish the liar from the bullshitter—and consider why Trump's shamelessness can be mistaken for authenticity.

Amid a politically punishing backlash against Donald Trump's flagrant $1.776 billion money grab for his criminal allies, a judge is considering whether to investigation if the "IRS settlement" on which the slush fund is based began as a legitimate court case or was a fraud on the court from the beginning. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance talks with Rachel Maddow about the legal guidelines the judge is considering. Rachel Maddow looks at how federal prosecutors in Chicago crossed important lines of propriety in their desperation to secure indictments in politically charged cases and now face an angry backlash from a judge who is not at all pleased with their conduct. Chris Parente, defense attorney for a Chicago anti-ICE protester, talks with Rachel Maddow about pressing misconduct accusations against federal prosecutors who have been exposed for unethical behavior in trying to indict his client.   Senator Andy Kim joins Rachel to talk about the protests at the Delaney Hall immigrant prison in Newark, New Jersey, and the abuses by the Department of Homeland Security broadly across the United States.
