What happened to you, Sam? It appears you've lost your mind and the ability to employ the logic and reason you claim to champion.
Maybe you’ve just moved into listening to the grifto-sphere and are unable to accept when someone else doesn’t also travel down that path?
It’s TDS
@xmikex902x lmao do u hear urself?
@@xmikex902x Hasbara Harris is a long time grifter
Absolutely right about the gender apartheid of Muslim countries. So good to hear Bill say it. I really wish people would see it and shout it everywhere
Not to mention religion apartheid.
@enndubful Gay people don't do great either in muslim majority countries. They ether lock them, up receive corporal punishment, and/or execute them. Of course, in Iran they strongly pressure gay men to receive genital reassignment surgery, but American leftists somehow place Islam and Muslims on a pedestal.
Christian America is doing the same by supporting fascist groups and fascists in government trying to steal power criminally and violently. Turning back women's hard fought reproductive rights and bodily autonomy is extremist and suppresive itself. Start caring more about yourself America!!!
I wish you cared about it as much as you pretend to.
Gender apartheid makes a 20x response massacre perfectly reasonable.
Every time I watch Bill's show I find myself wishing that they would mute the crowd a little.
Especially the “whew”yellers.
No…mute a lot. They are obviously as Bill on a good day.
Yeah, it’s almost _dare-i-say_ archaic, in the sense that Bill was already way ahead of his time, and he grew up in a time when ‘irl audiences’ added a required sense authenticity. But once everybody learned that it’s fake, the authenticity is in the other direction and crowds are seen as unnecessary suckups when there’s a major panel discussion.
It’s like ‘laugh tracks’: maher already didn’t need them, so he should consider treating ‘irl crowds’ like that. Not always but maher doesn’t have to cling to it, the 90s are very over with that format
Sadly you both have no idea what the real working class are experiencing
Absolutely no idea
Yeah I was big Sam Harris fan but it has become obvious that he is utterly detached and clueless about at least 60% of the population.
@@ExcitingBobHow so, exactly? Examples?
@@ExcitingBobhis terminal TDS is a prominent symptom of just that.
@@sisuriffs examples of what?
@@sisuriffs you need to give an example first!
I absolutely love this episode thanks for having Bill Maher on your show Sam
I wish you would change the intro music, something more uplifting? Not doom and gloom of the end of the world pandemic music? Just my 2 sense
Maher is the one who is ignorant of the history of the Middle East. On his show he spoke all of the classic ‘talking points’- his staff came up with what they thought was a clever, shallow narrative with a map and he thought it so clever.
It illustrated how little he knows of the history of the Middle East.
His ‘talk show’ may be a small notch above the show ‘The View’ -
Don’t lazily rely on these shows.
Women defending the hijab is one of the most insane things I've witnessed.
One thing Bill is 100% wrong about. Hamas is NOT despised by its people. It is wrong and dangerous to conflate Gazans with Iranians, the latter of whom truly despise the Islamic republic.
True, 75% of Palestinians voted for Hamas and 80% still support what they are doing now.
@@JeddieT first of all, absolute horseshit, secondly, no context at all, and thirdly, even if that were true (which it's not), that's not exactly grounds for exterminating them is it? check yourself bud
@@JeddieTYou'll need to provide some sources for such claims
Wishful thinking. It might be tempting to signal to the other side - "Look, even the Palestinians think Hamas is bad." Well. They don't. There is a reason Hamas is in power and it's not merely oppression. The Palestinians' mask slipped in the streets of Gaza on 7th October. An ugly face revealed itself.
Polls on the ground indicate otherwise.
Bill started pouring drinks, I wanted old Hitchens to turn up!🤪👉🍸🇬🇧
Ohh how I miss Hitchens 😢🍸
Really wish we had hitchens thoughts on the state of the world
Sam wouldnt platform hitchens for his israel views

@yaqzan_music Yup. Weird how the critics of identity potential seem to think Zionism (as the 1900-1948 ideology of weaponized victimhood) is some sort of exception rather than the model.

Very amusing when Maher said "we are old school liberals" unironically yes, that's the problem, old slave owning oligarchs were also literally "old school liberals" too. Liberalism certainly was more progressive than monarchism and worshiping royal bloodlines, but its roots are also in elitist oligarchs exploiting the planet through colonialism and imperialism. So it's really really clear what kind of "old school liberals" Maher and Harris really are... and it really puts into perspective why they are so upset at young people and the educational institutions moving on from that antiquated nonsense. what is "Liberal" Progressive" "Conservative" is always on a moving spectrum as time goes on. What was very progressive for 1700 or 1800 can be widely believed by conservatives today. So lets call a spade a spade, a "old school liberal", is just a evasive way of saying conservative today in 2024.
Bill's answer about celebrities at 14:00 is actually outstanding. Sam seems to bring out the best in him.
I can hear the respect Bill has for Sam
Outrageously good answer
He's being a bit provocative, and he lives in a Hollywood world where I suspect most of his friends have this tendency so I doubt it, but I honestly wish he would expand on his thoughts on this.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
A point he missed is that Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t exactly align with the Hollywood liberal left so Isreal’s actions get characterized by Netanyahu’s actions making it easier for celebrities to rally against
…even while a substantial portion of the Isreali population is not pro-Netanyahu
Maher says celebrities have a swelled head. He doesn't, though, right? Give me a break.
I mean, whether he does or not is irrelevant to the truth of the statement.
Maher is such a loser
@@ghosthunter0950right, he can still see the swelling through his swollen head.
"75% of Americans want the IDF to go into Rafah" according to one poll. 75% of Americans don't even know what Rafah is, and that's conservative, so the poll is faulty from the start.
"75% of Americans who were told what Rafah is want the IDF to go into it..." 🤣
75% of Americans had no idea where any of the Pacific islands were, but they knew that the US military needed to go there, because the Japanese needed to be defeated.
Does it really even matter? 75% of Americans want to see EVIL DEFEATED.
75% of comments posted on RUclips have no source for their information. See what I just did there?
@@peterfazio9306 I don't need to have a source. Do your own informal poll, outside of your family. How many people even know what Rafah is, nevermind Gaza? People know what Gaza is because they keep hearing it on the news, but probably couldn't even identify it on a map, yet I'm supposed to believe that 75% want us to invade it. Does that make sense to you?
36:01
Sam: We could be celebrating your birthday (March 2025) in a bunker.
Bill: Luckily we have one.
Sam: glosses over & moves on.
I guess Bill didn't get the millionaire memo to NOT talk about their bunkers.
Hopefully, youre just joking, and not actually believing that to be true..
Same thing with transgender. The tiny fraction of people who are actually getting reassignment surgery is incredibly small. But the right and people like these two talk nonstop as if every single high school student and elementary student is getting reassignment surgery. That’s not happening. Sam Harris, you are living in a reality distortion bubble if you think, there’s many reassignment surgeries happening to first graders .
any* ftfy
Couldn’t say any. Had to say many.
My god this is insufferable. Maher is horrible
It's so fun to hear Sam with someone who is clearly a good friend and alley. He's a lot more palyful and i really like this version of Samwise. Similar to when he did the podcasts with Gervais.
Took a hard right turn he'll be there when they put his mate bebe on trial.
Generally a big fan of these two but their uninformed and myopic view of the Israeli/Palestinian issue is sad at best and more likely dangerous.
Dangerous and cretinous
Yes a lot of bizarre statements made. Like when Bill says, "I don't know if they're using too many bombs and you don't either."
Sam, please release the whole video. Inflation got us
@@mendelovitch I’m just kidding, dude
@@J.W33111.A Sorry, mate.
Dude, you can get it all for free. Just ask for it on Sam's site. It is an option for all poor people.
On a serious note, sam often gives heavy discounts or even free if you are a student or down on your luck, you can email and explain your situation. I get the feeling sam is very well versed on piracy and it's causes/effects as a side note
@@chaoswraith You don't need to explain anything. They give it no question asked! Sam's such a mensch!
Clicked on this the second i saw it
I'm not sure RUclips can handle this level of smug in one video.
I can't believe people could handle this much smug in one reality😂😂😂
The two vilest people on earth in one room. It's a cesspool of smugness.
Smug and delusional.
@@house684 It's the unwarranted nature of it that gets me. It's one thing to be smug on the basis of being confident that you have all the facts on your side, which they obviously don't... But to be smug in the service of defending an apartheid regime currently committing genocide in broad daylight is something else...
@@PlusDeltaM Hamas is truly the genocidal regime
Does Sam not have any mirrors in his home or is he in a state of perpetually sitting shiva? I don't know how a guy can be so analytical and at the same time almost completely lacking in self-awareness.
Because he is not that analytical. Just look at his 4 years of rationalizations about Covid.
He's hard to connect with. I read the Moral Landscape and I get it..but he's boring sorry. I like Hitchens and Dawkins because they are authentic and abrasive. Sam is too nice?
@@andrewsmith3257Dawkins the 'cultural christian' is authentic?
The problem with Bill and Sam is that their heads are buried completely up their own asses.

Why does Maher come off so much smarter here than he does on his podcast? Is it just the booze and weed that trips him up there? It's night and day. I suppose he just has two different modes and he puts the articulate and salient mode to rest when he's just kicking back on Club Random.
very difficult listening to his podcast. After 30 minutes of booze and weed, he refuses to let his guest complete thoughts and reverts back to his core of being the smartest person he knows.
I'd like to think it's hanging with the likes of Sam that rubs off and makes us all smarter. Doesn't always work, but maybe...
He may be smart, but he seems to have trouble integrating information into his system. That bit about post-modernism having something to do with modernity was so cringe for anyone who has heard of Modernism. Got, it's even in that word itself - post-MODERNISM, not post-modernity. Too much weed, I guess.
@@nimbydimby I’m not even saying that he’s that smart. I am saying that he comes off smarter here, and less belligerent. Smarter than himself on his podcast. I didn’t mean that as smart, in the general sense, although he’s far from a moron. Bill is pretty smart in some areas, for a standup, but he’s certainly not a profound intellectual. As far as comedians go, he’s nowhere close to Carlin, imo.
@@nimbydimby Maher's philosophy takes here are vacuous.
And Harris' seems unable or unwilling to shed any light on the idea(s) of postmodernism as a condition and/or epistemology.
Sam invited someone who'd agree with him on everything again. Why am i not surprised
Have you seen any of his podcasts??? What about Ezra Klein? Did he agree with Sam on everything?
You're not surprised because you don't understand either of them
@@generichuman_ That was a long time ago :)
@@generichuman_ ezra is a leftist mental patient who poses no danger or threat to anyones ego... hes like a cuddly toy bear
dont know why you thought that was an example
@@generichuman_ That was 5 years ago.
Sounds like a good interview but Bill has been on every talk show on earth pitching his book and he’s got his own show in HBO every Friday, not to mention his podcast. So how in the hell you have the nerve to expect people to pay you $99 to hear the rest of this is utterly astounding. You have plenty of money. It’s not our fault no one is opening the Rogan vault for you… you’re not as good.
Dumb and Dumber !
I am fans of both and I found this conversation extremely disappointing and not at all informative…
Self congratulating clap trap.
Agreed. This was a very shallow, lazy discussion.
Get James Lindsay on the podcast, Sam.
Sam has turned into a coward. He doesn't even go on Rogan anymore
@@J31he's done it many many times actually. And when he brings on someone who "challenges his views", that person usually makes an ass out of themselves. See Rory, see Reza
@@TheGoorrubecause Rogan only platforms conspiracy theorists, culture warriors and folks hostile towards science and actual democracy. He’s a right wing grifter. Sam doesn’t check that box for Toe Rogaine
He wouldnt.
Harris hasn’t read the material that Lindsay makes a living making things up about, so there isn’t much to talk
First time i enter heard of Sam Harris was watching him making a fool of Ben Affleck on Real Time live.
Love these guys
Bills not in tune with the culture anymore.
The conversation about Israel/Palestine did not include even one reference to Netanyahu. Surely his role in all this was worth some time.
Sure, his role is worth mention, but in the larger conflict, he's incidental. His existence is a result of the conflict, not in any way an instigator/cause of it, so to speak about the conflict from a wide angle, he's not worth spending much time on
@@tooitchy Sorry, can't agree with you.
@@tooitchy he's a warmonger.
@@tooitchy But Hamas is not a result of the conflict? Israel has been occupying and terrorizing the Palestinians since long before Hamas existed.
Whether Netanyahu is here or not will not change anything. In 2021, moderate Benny Gantz was the prime minister of Israel, but you still see the same anti-Israeli hatred from the left. When you believe that the existence of Israel itself is the problem, you can't be apeased.
yall should stick to criticizing trump and christofascists like the good old days
The advantage of the human mind is that is compartmentalizes. The disadvantage of the human mind is that it compartmentalizes.
Yep!
Unfortunately, too many podcasts have become echo chambers. Little objectivity.
Both of these men used to be my idols, but ever since October 7th, both of these men have started to completely shock me with their outrageous views on the issue of Palestine and Israel. I won't ever be able to express how sad it is to see you two so misguided as fans, and it doesn't seem like it will ever change...
Instagram or TikTok? Which one do you get your news from?
In the case of two of the most sensible political commentators who express conflicting views with your own, it might be time to carefully reconsider your own views.
how about stop idolizing people
You just need to learn more about the Palestinians and their history.
@dave4148 It's not about idolising, but about having extra checks on your own opinions.
Quran says: “Allah:there is no deity worthy of worship except he”:The Neccessary life/consciousness,sustainer of life/consciousness.” Wire like neuronal structures that conduct electricity via ions/neurotransmitters in the CNS/PNS possess no attribute of thinking/life and yet that has “randomly” led to life. Consciousness/thinking is an innate idea(“Fitra”)that is distinct from carbon skeleton and yet the materialist scientist believes that chemistry turned into biology via “god of randomness”/”Emergent property”/”law of nature”. Consciousness can only stem from Necessary Consciousness (Allah-one/indivisible/loving/self-sufficient infinite perfection).
I'd like to hear the mother of all Blocked and Reported podcasts with Sam Harris, Helen Pluckrose, John McWhorter and Katie Herzog
Bills politics are beyond terrible now. Trump broke his brain.
11:40 James Lindsey is no radical. Sam isn't adapting to the reality of the last few years.
Was looking for this comment, I wholeheartedly agree
Disagree - James Lindsay is a conspiracy theorist Trumper.
@@jedwards1792 "I also have an opinion."
James Lindsey is a mathematical genius. We cant ignore the amazing work he produced with the grievance studies. He proved how the university system has corrupted science and promotes and publishes fake data.
Apparently in Sam’s eyes, exposing the radical left makes one radical as well.
Turned it off when he said celebrities just do whatever the kids are into these days, yeah, sure bro, I'm sure they tell their agent to just tweet based on that without caring about what they themselves actually believe.
Sam's TDS seems like it's late stage now.
I'm embarrassed to admit I used to be a fan of Sam back in my angsty teenage athiest days. Glad to admit I've always found Maher to be abhorrent, now more than ever. Two guys who think they're much smarter than they truly are.
Sam's insistence that he's always the most objective thinker in the room is just dishonest and leads to him falling into the same circular thinking.
Defending an ethnostate's ongoing genocide is beyond the pale. I'm sure they're both getting very well compensated by aipac. Remember that Sam also advocated for muslim looking people to be profiled by tsa.
"old school liberals" is funny if you actually consider that liberalism is a right wing movement. If they're going by that definition it really starts to make sense. Pretending to be centrists, all whilst smuggling in authoritarian alt-right ideals.
Sam started to lose me with his astoundingly circular logic with his moral truth claims. Then I started to see just how wrong he was about so many things. He's just another "intellectual" for people who aren't very smart.
Enjoying the frank discussion of the absurdities on the media landscape.
I'm so so sorry I used to recommend this idiot to my Buddhist friends.
Dear god. Brace yourself for the smug apocalypse coming with this one
Your prayer won't work here. These two guys are too smart to be believers, and I'd bet the same for many of those tuning in. If there is anyone here who is smug, it is the believers like yourself who know with a certainty that there is a god who pulls levers and who sends the nonbeliever to hell. Belief without any evidence is smug. Certainty in this way is smug.
I used to be a believer...sort of....many years ago (I was raised Catholic). And paying attention to life chipped away at the doctrinal beliefs imposed on me. I had no choice in the matter whatsoever in whether I wanted religion. My relative certainty, such as it was, gave way to reason and doubt became non-belief.
You religious types are critical of the likes of Maher and Harris because you are seemingly incapable of understanding what they are even about. So, on that note: I absolve you of your ignorance and lack of reasoning ability. It's really not your fault. I just wish there weren't so many of you in the world. There are many millions who believe nonsense. And it holds us back.
a) I don't entirely disagree
b) They sure get a lot of things right
c) They make fun of this aspect of themselves mid-podcast fwiw lol
Do you have any specifics?
@@lonzo61 Im not religious. Sam and Bill are both completely delusional when it comes to Trump. Sam is worse than Bill on Covid and the garbage "vaccine."
So making claims and supporting them with evidence is smug? How about your statement here, why is that not considered smug? If you have sound arguments that challenge theirs, then by all means present them rather than indulge in fallacies.
I like and respect both of these guys. But the response to the tiny 6 percent of young students on some college campuses who are acting like idiots does not represent the other 94%. That minor 6% is also not running the government. Mega is in filtrating the government and its leader may soon be the president. I see that as much more alarming than 6% of students being ill informed and acting immature. But both of these guys and many others like them talk nonstop about all the dangers of the students proportionality or perspective.
Great show. Love both you guys. I know both of you have been labeled a lot of things, but I think you speak for the middle of the road majority.
There is no “middle-of-the-road” majority. Politics is not 1-dimensional.
There it is 9:30 admission for both that they're "old school liberals", most likely meaning classical liberals or aka right wing conservatives.
This was as entertaining as I hoped it would be
Bill, argument by incredulity is absurd. Step it up logic atheist man.
Great conversation! I loved it :)
These guys have all the answers! We should just put THEM in the White House! They should kiss also
The cancel cult and culture wars suddenly become real when the crazies you once ignored or pretended weren't a problem because they were attacking your enemies suddenly turn on you.
yes those damn kids are so crazy for being against gen0c!de.. they need to grow up and understand that might makes right 100%
It is crazy that people want me to either be pro-Hamas or pro-Trump. I cannot stand either of them! And I do not think that makes me a milk-toast wishy-washy centrist
pro hamas or pro trump? That's a weird dichotomy
Very weird indeed. It’s usually pro Palestinian civilian
Centrist does not mean wishy washy, either.
@@tooitchyThats just how most people are nowdays. Yesterday on LinkedIn I applied for a job and next to gender select were trump/hammas radio buttons.
we should be so lucky to have a world filled with centrists.
Maher should stop stand up. I saw his show recently, and it wasn't very funny. He also came across as very sleazy. I got turned off.
Doughter of earth 😂😂😂😂
Don't fuck him then.
He’s become unwatchable
Two old reactionaries yelling at the clouds in a world that has moved so far past their comprehension.
I'm writing to Canadian politicians, the CBC, complaining about the bias against Israel. Doing my best.
The CBC is run by Marxists and Islamists just like the Democratic Party.
Amazing!
That is good. In recent years, CBC seems to be against Canada too. They have definitely adopted the divisive identity ideologies of oppression, power, marginalization, race, and gender. They even took down Wendy Mesley in their enthusiasm. Sad.
Youre insane lol.
Bias *against* Israel? Are you out of your mind?! They drop 2000 lb bombs on fucking civilian tent cities and barely a criticism is raised. The bias in favour of the Israeli regime in Western media is staggering.
Is everyone who votes for Trump far-right? Dana White is far-right?
A few things the two of you have in common that both of you lack a value system or one which is very fluid. And that dishonesty seems to pop up in your characters every now and again. Maher is the classic “two- faced”.
Harris literally wrote the book on establishing an evidence-based value system. He also wrote-again, literally-a book on (dis)honesty. You probably regard as "fluid" that which you don't want to agree with.
Disappointed to hear Bill Maher's poor grasp of the detail (vs Sam's) concerning January 6th. FFS, with his platform & team of researchers..... that's inexcusable.
In particular, it’s maddening that he keeps spouting such misinformation : that Palestinians don’t support Hamas. Indeed, their support for Hamas increased dramatically after Oct 7 and is now at about 80%. (He is confusing Palestinians with Persians in Iran).
In addition, he’s said previously that Muslim women are forced to wear the hijab. This is true for many of them, again, for many in Iran. However, plenty of Muslim women are even more radical than the men. In Europe, many admonish their husbands when they begin to think about integrating or becoming even a bit moderate.
Many Muslim women feel themselves better than western women, whom they see as whores, especially next to their own virtuousness. They hide their hair and face in order to save themselves for their husbands, so their husbands are guilted into not modernising/integrating.
Two thirds of British Muslim women recently polled believe that wives should always listen to their husbands.
Who’s more insufferable, Sam Harris or Bill Maher?
Sam Harris. Probably just got used to Bill Maher since I watch him every week and I already know he doesn't know anything.
Bill, I don't understand why the rest of the liberals won't pretend that the Israels aren't extirpating the Palestinians from their land! Let's be confused together and never speak with anyone who will argue the opposing point of view.
It was never their land. Palestine was never a sovereign Arab state. It was a colony created by the Romans that merely changed hands of one empire after another including the Arabs. When Israel was partitioned, it was still under British rule before that.
I love Bill Maher and Sam Harris
LOL: Bill Maher saying "You and ME and BARRY WEISS@16:30ish" over and over like somehow the addition of himself and this other person ((that most of the listening audience(perhaps I'm over-simplifying but you get my point) could give two shits about)) are about to nowwww get some point across..........at venues like "The View..." Great idea to lead with hahaha - Sam's not going there is he? Why is that Bill? Is that a surprise?!
Fuck yeah. My two favorites
Ugh.
Listened to Sam for well over a decade but he seems to live in an echo chamber on the Israel topic. It’s like he constantly needs his own views reinforced.
Frustrating to hear them, and especially Bill deride and mock Rory Stewart over his views. An Oxford educated man with a career of diplomacy, who has fought and toured in the British Army, has walked, lived, worked, travelled all across the Middle East. Has Bill ever left New York?
Stuart slagging Harris behind his back post podcast pretty much neuters your appeal to authority on his behalf.
Not even his worst subject.
@@twntwrs it’s not an appeal to authority because Stewart actually has the experience of spending a lot of time in the Middle East. Harris and Maher both talk about it like they are experts but have no real world experience of what it’s like.
All you did was criticize the left - the right is what's more dangerous. GMAFB. TALK ABOUT THAT BILL.
That's boring.
I'm guessing you're on the left.
Sam does savagely attack the right and your counterparts on the right always flood the comments with TDS comments.
@@mindlander But important!
@@enndubful I'm on the left. Now tell me what was wrong with the statement "the right is what is more dangerous". Go ahead.
Sam Harris calling James Lindsey crazy is extremely ironic. Harris has gone completely off the deep end since he developed TDS
If fascinating how misinformed these two "intellectuals" actually are.
Thanks for your opinion from the center of the universe. 😅
Examples?
BS What did they say that was misinformed?
@@observerone6727 I haven't given my opinion.
@@ヨママ They both are entirely misinformed on Jan. 6th, and most of the media nonsense with Trump. Sam is delusional aboout Covid, the vaccine, and the "authorities" running our "health care" system, though Bill has somewhat come around to realizing it. They are both out of their minds to think the establishment war criminals in charge are somehow the "good guys," but Trump is a threat to "democracy." I could go on, but there's a sampler. 👍
It's fun to hear Sam so jovial and enthusiastic. Sam and Bill are some of the last bastions of sensible American liberalism so it's nice to know I'm not yet a political nomad lol
Voices of reason. Long form interview with lots of nuance. Amazing to listen to.

"'... with no-self-reflection whatsoever"
The irony is that this criticism is coming from someone who claims to represent everyone.
This is ironic drivel from an indoctrinated tool.
You guys asked the question yourselves: How is possible a person to be so smart on some issues and so wrong on other? This applies to both of you on so many questions including Trump, the Ukraine conflict, COVID, and to big extend Gaza. The most hilarious of all is that apparently you do not think you fall into this category.
When I see Kamala Harris I think Julia Gillard. Smart laweyer and great one on one but should never be allowed within a mile of a podium
Why? Julia Gillard was and is an articulate orator. I've heard her speak at several events.
Sam Harris…. The man who said the answer to gun violence is to teach children to run at the gun man. A true intellectual…
@@HIJK_LMNOP nope, you are wrong. In his essay “The riddle of the Gun” he says, “Unarmed people can be trained to respond intelligently to violent emergencies, and the appropriate drills seem well worth doing. (If you watch the linked video, you will see that rather than simply terrifying students, these drills can be fun and empowering.) Of course, there are no guarantees when tackling a man with a gun, and training of this kind makes sense only for students above a certain age. But such “active shooter” drills, if widely taught, would probably reduce the threat of mass killings.”
From memory, in his podcast he again says teaching children to attack a gunman is a solution to school shootings. In his podcast he doesn’t state age of teaching (though I note he says “certain age” here).
But let’s take him at face value and give him the benefit of the doubt and say he meant 15+/16+ age range - senior school kids.
Are you telling me the answer to school violence is teaching kids to mass attack a gunman? That is mental. No serious common sense person believes running toward an active shooter is a good idea.
Sam Harris is as much an intellectual as Russell Brand is a Christian.
@@dannyshortmusic Yeah, I wonder whether he has come anywhere near an actual life or death situation like that. Abstract plans tend to break down fast and hard when they come up against a frightening physical reality.
Ricky Gervais next please!
These are useless guests because they all say the same

What you’re missing about Trump now is he’s got all these ideological loonies that will run his show
Dana White is not “far right”. That term has been abused so much it is devoid of any meaning
But he is a Trumper
@@sevans606Irrelevant. That's not the same thing.
Yah he’s a trumper but “far” right is crazy. I’ve seen “far” right on twitter and their views on Jews and other ethnic minorities. Dana white is none of that
It does have a meaning.
@@toby9999 it did have a meaning
It's me, im the hate listener. Good espisode, I was unable to find anything to be upset about.
I getting dumber listening to this. Maher is like a guy you waste your time with at the bar. Worth a laugh though.
Maher and Harris is like the dullest and most stupidest match ever
I used to like Bill Maher. This interview was good, probably because he wasn't drunk/stoned like in his podcast.
Lovely to hear this conversation 😊
Something I really appreciate about Bill is how he says, "We're still friends" and "I really like this person", referring to connections with people who oppose him on political views. That is actually so good.
And unfortunately increasingly unlikely to be how they think of him.
@@gravitaslost every research shows democrats are way less able to keep politics seperate
Two Jewish supremacists agreeing with each other on everything - cute.
Day 251 of waiting for Sam Harris to talk to someone who knows the history well and can represent the Palestinian side. Let me make a few suggestions:
-Rashid Khalidi
-Omar Baddar
-Marc Lamont Hill
-Scott Horton
-Dave Smith
-Cenk Uyger
Will we ever get a conversation that’s fair and gives an honest representation of both sides? Or do we just want to live in an echo chamber? This is sad to me that we haven’t had that on this podcast.
Any time you are to the right of John Bolton on anything it’s time for some self evaluation.
Sam talk to someone that knows tje history.
He geta payed to do the exact opposite
Norman Finkelstein can single-handedly replace all of them.
From what I've seen Marc Lamont Hill is decent, but Dave Smith and Cenk Uyger are not serious people or historically knowledgeable at all (Cenk a little bit).
Well, the last time Sam engaged with Cenk Uyger, he was dragged through the mud and bombarded with lies, the sort of lies which endangered Sam's life and that of his family. Hopefully some of the others you listed are more ethical. If so, then I too would like to see such a conversation.
Always a pleasure!

Bill and Sam. Bevis and Butthead

I wish I found Bill Maher funny. I love comedy, but he doesn't strike me as funny.
Gazans do not hate Hamas. The exact opposite is true and their approval rating as of March was listed as 20 points higher than before Oct 7.

You're in Bills studio and ya couldn't turn on a damn camera for YT?
he was in a millionaire's bunker.
