Bonus: Liar, Bullshitter—or Both? (with Sam Harris)
About this episode
Preet Bharara and Sam Harris discuss the distinction between liars and bullshitters in the context of politics.
What is the difference between a liar and a bullshitter? And why does that distinction matter in politics? In this exclusive segment for Stay Tuned Insiders, Preet Bharara and Sam Harris revisit philosopher Harry Frankfurt’s classic essay, On Bullshit , and how this distinction applies to Donald Trump.
