Jessica Tarlov is one of the co-hosts of The Five on FOX News, where she offers a liberal POV among the primarily conservative roundtable. She also co-hosts the podcast, Raging Moderates, with NYU Professor Scott Galloway. Jessica did not start her career in broadcasting—she’s a former Democratic pollster, researcher, and strategist—but her ability to argue her position goes back further than any of her roles. Today, she joins us to share why we’re too worried about being likable and spend too much time being offended. She covers all of this in her new book, I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends, now available wherever books are sold.
