How One Liberal Outfoxes MAGA (with Jessica Tarlov)
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Stay Tuned with Preetβs own podcast host.
This week on the Stay Tuned with Preet podcast, Jessica Tarlov, co-host of Fox Newsβs The Five and Vox Mediaβs 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 shouldnβt be to change their mind. Tarlov also discusses how βdata-based storytellingβ became her argument strategy and how she determines when itβs best to stop talking and just listen. Finally, they delve into her theory that Trump supporters donβt take politics that seriously and why liberals could benefit from understanding that.
At the end of the episode, Preet answers listener questions about Trumpβs 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.Β
