Five months ago, I argued against the President's $4 trillion tariffs at the Supreme Court.
In 237 years, the Court had never struck down a sitting President's signature initiative. Legal scholars said it was impossible. Some of my own colleagues said it was impossible.
We won. 6-3.
But the real story isn't what happened in that courtroom. It's what happened in the months before. And its the subject of my TED talk, coming out tomorrow.
I had the best legal team in the nation, especially Colleen Roh Sinzdak, the most outstanding legal strategist I know. Huge thanks, too, go to the Liberty Justice Center (and in particular its fearless and hyper-intelligent leader Sara Albrecht), who organized the client small businesses, as well as to the brave small businesses themselves.
I also had four teachers preparing me.
A mindset coach who'd worked with Andre Agassi.
An improv coach who taught me that "Yes, and" works in Supreme Court arguments the same way it works everywhere else.
A meditation coach who taught me stillness.
And Harvey.
Harvey predicted many of the questions the Justices asked โ sometimes almost word for word. Brilliant. Tireless. Occasionally insufferable.
Here's the catch: Harvey isn't a person.
Harvey is a bespoke AI I built over the last year with a legal AI company, trained on every question every Justice has asked in oral argument for 25 years, and everything they've ever written.
Tomorrow, TED releases my talk about what really happened โ and what I learned standing at that podium.
AI can predict. AI can analyze. What AI cannot do is the one thing that actually won the argument.
Connect. Read the room. Hear not just a Justice's words, but her worry โ and answer the worry.
That is the irreducibly human skill.
Find yours. Go deeper. In this age of AI, that's where your edge lives.
The talk goes live Thursday, May 7 at 11am ET: https://t.co/wLxKtBsHpF
What's the irreducibly human skill in your work โ the thing AI can't touch?
@gtconway3d Why didnโt they walk out of the dinner instead of eating & clapping! I was furious, afraid of losing their jobs?, if your job fired u for speaking up for yourself then eff that job. Have some respect for yourself! @gop is scared of him, press is too? All of them! No backup! Sad!
House Republicans held hands in prayer as they voted to take food away from hungry families.
How can you pray for your neighbor, and then literally turn around and prey ON your neighbor with policies that crush the poor.
@ProudSocialist Why are they shaking his hand? Donโt say respect bc he doesnโt deserve any. Fear, of what? They had the courage to write the report, keep it going w/respect for themselves.
"Any โjournalistโ who walks through the door this time will never wash the Trump stink off of themselves. More than that, they will never wash the stain off of their credibility and integrity."

@HAKowalczyk@SteveSchmidtSES I disagree with you, what are they going to report except the same ole same ole BS lies that come out of his mouth, while being insulted on top of the boring nonsense. I hope theyโre all no shows bc he loves attention!
Truly absurd headline. And most importantly, grossly factually inaccurate. Beyond any reasonable doubt, Trump is a sociopath; he does not grieve, nor is he capable of grief. Even if journalists are too timid to report that truth, they should not report the contrary as truth.
@rogersforfl Your commercial talking about Trump & claiming to be a Christian will hurt u. How can u agree w/anything this sick conman w/his proven felon charges says or does. Youโre a young father, how can u?
@sarrah_bellus In 1990, when Trump did his interview w/Barbara Walters, I knew Trump's a dick. I would get mad at SNL for allowing him to host or NBC for Celebrity Apprentice. He's always been a fraud. When he said on ET, "Jeffrey likes his girls young." Trump didn't say women, he said GIRLS!
My Republican colleagues love to accuse Democrats of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
But the real Trump derangement is from Republicans, who swallow all of their pride to satiate the insecure, narcissist in the White House who needs to have everything named after him.
Sad, really.
