Join former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara as he breaks down legal topics in the news and engages thought leaders in a podcast about power, policy, and justice. From CAFE and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Programming Note: This conversation was recorded on Monday, 9/8, before the horrific and tragic killing of political activist Charlie Kirk. 

Gun violence is among the leading causes of death for children and teens in the United States. News of yet another mass shooting breaks almost weekly. And still, gun reform remains fiercely partisan. It is indeed a cultural flashpoint in a country that feels as divided and polarized as ever. This week, Preet is joined by John Feinblatt, the President of Everytown for Gun Safety, and Adam Winkler, a constitutional scholar and expert on the Second Amendment to discuss whether gun culture is changing for the better, whether legal reforms are making any progress, and whether the private sector can step up in the face of political deadlock. 

Then, Preet answers your questions about Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a minimum-security prison, and asks for your thoughts on Newsom’s posting.

In the bonus for Insiders, Preet, John, and Adam discuss U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s decision not to federally prosecute individuals for carrying rifles or shotguns in D.C.

Guns, Law, and the Culture War (with John Feinblatt and Adam Winkler)

In an excerpt from this week’s Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the Supreme Court ruling that loosened restrictions on immigration raids in Los Angeles, allowing ICE to make stops based on factors like ethnicity.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down:

– A federal judge’s ruling that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles was unlawful; 

– A federal appeals court ruling, which, for the first time, struck down Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members; and

– The Eleventh Circuit’s decision to block a district court order to shut down the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades.

Trump’s America: Do We All Need to Carry Papers Now?

Nobel Prize-winning economist and MIT professor Daron Acemoglu joins Preet to discuss the economic stakes of shifting institutional norms in the U.S. He weighs in on President Trump’s decision to fire key personnel at the Federal Reserve and Bureau of Labor Statistics, as well as the announcement that the government will take a roughly 10% equity stake in Intel.

Is Trump an Economic Despot? (with Daron Acemoglu)

In an excerpt from this week’s Insider episode, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss President Donald Trump’s threats that he will deploy National Guard troops to major cities. Trump has already done this in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles and has floated doing the same in Chicago, New York, and Baltimore. 

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down Trump’s efforts to expand the National Guard’s role in D.C. law enforcement, and two separate law enforcement assault cases out of D.C., in which federal prosecutors failed to secure indictments before a grand jury.

Can Trump Do Whatever He Wants?

Preet's out this week, so we're excited to share an episode of Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov, which we think listeners of Stay Tuned will enjoy. We'll be back next week!

Jessica Tarlov sits down for a wide-ranging conversation with Hillary Clinton to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time. They explore how Donald Trump could attempt to broker an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, how Democrats should navigate their relationship with Israel amid the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and Trump's accelerating consolidation of power at home. Secretary Clinton shares her take on the perils of “dumb power” diplomacy, the fractures within the Democratic coalition, and the struggles facing young men in today’s economy. Plus, she also reflects on the stakes for democracy—and whether she believes America will ever be ready for a woman president.

Raging Moderates: How Trump Could Win a Nobel Peace Prize (ft. Hillary Clinton)

Trump’s recent meetings with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have raised urgent questions about America’s role in global affairs and the future of the war in Ukraine. Atlantic staff writer and national security expert Tom Nichols joins Preet to break down what’s at stake: the fragility of Western unity, the history behind Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and whether Trump can—or even wants to—deliver peace. They also discuss Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent social media tactics and what effective opposition to Trump looks like.

Then, Preet answers your questions about Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a minimum-security prison, and asks for your thoughts on Newsom’s posting.

In the bonus for Insiders, Nichols discusses the redistricting battles happening around the country.
