If you're a federal judge and you're pissed off the president, he tweets at you and you get to keep your job for the rest of your life.

If you're an attorney, you piss off the president, you get a podcast.

So it's quite a different way of going about it.

Hey, hey, and welcome. This is the Ben Shapiro show Sunday special. I'm super excited to welcome to the show. Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, host of Stay Tuned with Preet and the author of his new book Doing Justice. Prit Barab. Preet, thanks so much for stopping by, dude. Thanks for having me. I really appreciate the book. You call me, dude? I call a lot of people, dude. Don't take you personally. I am, I am. Well, good. I didn't want to misgender you. Everything right at the top. All right, all right. Don't start.

All right on the back. I call a lot of people, do you. Okay, all right. Don't take it as you personally. I am. I am. Well, good. I didn't want to misgender you.

Right.

Right.

All right.

Don't start.

All right on the bat.

It's like he's into that stuff.

So the book is doing justice of prosecutor's thoughts on crime, punishment, and the rule of law. And it really is first rate. For folks who only know you on the right from the big blow up with President Trump,

firing you or resigning you from... Fired.

Fired.

Fired.

Fired. know you on the right from the big blow up with President Trump, firing you or resigning you from

from the Southern District of New York. What's been your career path to get to now being a podcast

star? So it's not the ordinary career. It's not the ordinary career path. But just one thing off the

back, thanks for having me on. Thanks for mentioning the book. I don't know if you appreciate this because we move in different circles,

but my book came out the same day your book did. And I was very excited when the New York Times bestseller. Everyone loves the New York Times when it comes to the bestseller list, right? Whether you think it's fake news or not or failing or not. And I was very excited to tell my family when it first came out and I got first dibs at seeing it.

This book debuted at number four on the nonfiction bestseller list. And I told my boys, and they saw the list, and they're like, great, but Ben Shapiro beat you, and you debuted at number one. I know you're probably modest and don't want to, you know, have me remind people, but it did. And so I just want you to know I've hated you ever since.

Oh, well, I appreciate you mentioning that. And that does give me a surge of warmth in my heart.
