The secret to winning an argument isn't grand rhetoric or elegant style, says US Supreme Court litigator Neal Katyal — it takes more than that. With stories of some of the most impactful cases he's argued before the Court, Katyal shows why the key to crafting a persuasive and successful argument lies in human connection, empathy and faith in the power of your ideas. "The question is not how to win every argument," he says. "It's how to get back up when you do lose."

Ted needs to do a video about ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees with their profits
@Sandcastle • they plant native trees
@Sandcastle • ecosia explain all they do on their website if you require more information.
@Aaron Oneal that’s a very good start.
@M AC I’ve had a little look before but perhaps the info I want is just too particular.
@Sandcastle • check out their youtube channel
7/11 was a part-time job
The Internet: “challenge accepted.”
Is a getaway driver guilty? Yes, he’s an accomplice, he knows who he is driving.
This video has nothing to do with criminal guilt. He was arguing if it is legal to indefinitely detain someone without trail. Did you even watch the video?
@emf 303 I understand that, but i wasn’t commenting on the video but the criminal guilt. You misunderstood the point of the comment.
@CyanPowder
No ones is saying that Bin Laden’s driver is innocent. The person in the video is not even claiming that he’s innocent. The entire argument is about his right to a trail to prove his guilt.
What is the point of your comment that I misunderstood? You obviously watched the first 30 seconds of the video and completely misunderstood what this video is about. Again, what is the point of your comment? Explain to me how I got this wrong.
@emf 303 To summarise my point of view on his guilt. You are assuming im trying to say that that was the point of the video, and i haven’t.
The sad thing is that the Senate isn’t as rational as we’d like to believe.
I thought you just keep talking until everyone gets bored and just wants to go home
I won’t believe this guy unless i hear his wife say.. “ yes he once won an argument against me” then we are taking
You and your legal team lining your pockets. Lawyers!
“He said quote: “they hate us”” when the actual quote clearly says something else. I feel like this is what hurts the press so much
Calm, empathy, logic and fairness should always win. Thank you for this!
Not live, many clip changes, editing, etc. Good info, self commercial and click bait.
Keep it up, TED, TEDx, etc?
Losing our interest to sub, because we can Google any subject on TED or any other platform or subject with our own Clicks of a thumb.
It’s called tech tools?
Thumbs up and down…
Up for content.
Down for not live and
far too edited.
Stay safe, everyone.
Step one: pack the court in your favor.
Thank you for this video!♥️
Thank you for being a voice of reason during the last four years. I watch your remarks because you always speak about the law and the constitution of the United States of America in the context of the relevance to these unusual times we are experiencing. I too am an immigrant to this country. From Europe. I have studied American history and I find that a lot of people born here do not know their history. This is baffling to me! I am cheerful not to speak about this. I discuss my political views only with my kids and close friends. I don’t usually respond on public platforms. I keep my views private. However today listening to you I feel inspired to comment. I thank you again for your bravery in speaking out against injustice. May you continue to talk to us, and please stay safe and well.
Thank you for everything Neal!
