From CAFE Studios and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Stay Tuned with Preet

The Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard ended decades of race-conscious admissions in higher education. Supporters argue the ruling restores colorblind fairness, while critics warn it risks undoing decades of progress toward equal opportunity.

On this week’s Stay Tuned with Preet, Yale Law Professor Justin Driver, author of The Fall of Affirmative Action: Race, the Supreme Court, and the Future of Higher Education, joins Preet to trace the history of affirmative action — from Lyndon Johnson’s call for “true equality” in 1965 to the Court’s recent decision — and to explore what colleges can still do to build diverse classrooms within the confines of the law.

Then, Preet answers your questions about the recent court ruling on deploying the National Guard to Portland, Oregon.

In the bonus for Insiders, Justin Driver reflects on how his father’s sacrifices shaped his understanding of opportunity and education.

Vindictive Prosecution? Comey & Abrego Garcia

Antony Blinken was the 71st Secretary of State, serving under President Joe Biden. As the nation’s top diplomat, he worked on restoring U.S. ties with allies and multilateral institutions following Trump’s first term. He also led U.S. aid responses in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Israel’s war in Gaza after the October 7 Hamas attack. Both of those wars rage on today. Secretary Blinken joins Preet to discuss Trump’s latest peace proposal for Gaza, the President’s recent about-face on Ukraine, and the relevance of the U.N.

Then, Preet answers your questions about the Comey indictment. 

In the bonus for Insiders, Secretary Blinken shares his thoughts on his successor, Secretary Marco Rubio.

Is the Comey Prosecution Fatally Flawed?

A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding.

In this recording from a Substack livestream, Preet and Joyce Vance, former U.S. Attorney and co-host of the Insider podcast, share their reactions to the Comey indictment and the danger of politicizing law enforcement, describing it as a moment that has “crossed the Rubicon.” They break down the lead-up to the charges, the merits of the case and the strength of the evidence, the reactions from Comey and from Trump’s supporters, and how the case is likely to unfold.

SCOTUS’ Game of Chicken with Trump (with Dahlia Lithwick)

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.
