Jessica Tarlov on Being The Outnumbered Fox Host

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.0:00 Introduction2:31 Dress for the job you want4:37 Growing up in New York/Parents who bring their work home9:48 The lessons of 9/1114:33 Learning to hash it out15:45 The truth about political identity20:17 The Tracy Flick Comparison23:38 Elle Woods: A mascot for our generation25:32 What does a political strategist do?26:35 Raising sons v. daughters31:10 Are we really being transparent?33:12 Researching millennials 34:22 Stop acting so weird and offended36:17 Why Fox News?40:19 From Contributor to The Five Cohost41:48 Returning from Maternity Leave44:20 I Disagree46:50 Being credible < Being likable 48:23 Joy in this political climate49:53 Less education, more real life experience51:59 Would You Rather53:17 Argent Afterthoughts: Gloria SteinemOn Sali: Argent Edgar Blazer, Fine Knit Shortsleeve Polo, and Cropped Straight Leg Trouser Hosted by Sali Christeson @salichristesonProduced by Gina Marinelli @ginaalilbitEdited by Ryan Woldoff @c__bizTheme Song by Karina DePiano @sheplaysdepiano & Melanie Nyema @melanienyemaRecorded at @wtfstudios Hosted on Acast.
