Jessica Tarlov — I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends - with Aaron Parnas

Jessica Tarlov presents *I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends*, a practical guide to defending personal values while preserving relationships across political and social divides. Drawing on her experience as a liberal co-host of Fox News Channel’s *The Five*, where she regularly debates conservative viewpoints, Tarlov discusses how to approach difficult conversations with honesty, confidence, preparation, and conviction.

The conversation will address skills such as using numbers and statistics effectively, knowing when to listen, identifying shared values, and standing up for one’s beliefs without treating disagreement as a reason to sever relationships. Tarlov will be joined by Aaron Parnas, an independent journalist, political commentator, strategist, and attorney known for explaining complex political and legal issues to large online audiences.
