The fact that Islam is a theology and not a race never occured to Affleck.
I was hoping someone noticed... great point.. islam is not a race
He’s not smart enough to know.
Tee hee. Because Affleck, just like virtually all of Hollywood, is THAT smart.
@@billycrockett3715 you can't blame him. Judaism is legally seen as a race, so a precedent was set, it all comes down to legal protections, so a Liberal minded bloke can only make the same assumptions to other faiths.. Complexity is too difficult and painful for people..
The fact that Judaism is a religion and not an ethnicity was never expected by jews.
Calling someone racist for criticizing Islam is like calling someone sexist for criticizing black people.
jkesmoker
I think you kind of missed my point there...
took me two seconds, but great analogy.
Fubar AlAkbar although as Sam Harris points out, Islam is voluntary to many. Obviously being black isn't a choice
only voluntary if you dont live in a muslim-run country
Fubar AlAkbar Yes...exactly!!!
*SAM: "Every criticism of the doctrine of islam gets conflated with bigotry toward muslims as people."* 1:24
*BEN demonstrates.*
@Ian TB *although Affleck did protest forcefully, using the word remonstrate would not have achieved the joke I was forming.* 😂
The irony is unreal.. went right over Affleck's head
Couldn’t ask for a better illustration of the opening point
I kinda figured he had prepared for this "debate" when he started using words to big for his normal self to try to be on Sam Harris' level.
@@diannevaldez8670 haha tried but failed. The problem is his arrogance disallows Ben A from listening to any other point of view. Another irony is some of his movies like the space ring dwellers vs the rifraf left on earth is exactly the end result of liberal ideology. And he fights against in movies what he believes in real life
when Sam Harris says to you, "I'm actually well educated on this thing...", that's your cue to shut-up and retreat!!!
Until he starts talking about foreign policy or international relations.. then it's your cue to start explaining American Exceptionalism and imperialism.
When You say anything else ever, that i can find;
I dig your drift, big bro!
Good Looking Out!
shut up RDM.. you are just as racist as this idiot Sam Harris
💯
@Enzo 1965
Islam is not racist.
lol Ben was just pumped on steroids for his batman role - I can't believe he said that
Scrolled down for this after hearing him say it, haha.
he probably was though
It was a perfect comment. I just saw this Rubin Report cover of the show in question. Affleck is such a tool.
I would think so too. he looked like he wanted to intimidate more than debate
Why is that such a dramatic thing to say? Actors do it all the time, when they have to gain muscles, they take steroids, and when the movie is done, they stop. They do it all the time because there is no realistic way they would gain enough muscles to start recording on time. I know drugs are bad for your body but I think the real issue should be that Affleck had to take steroids based on "Batman has to have big muscles", to fill that stereotype. A stereotype that is stupid since Batman only shows muscles when he is in his costume, so they could do any trick to fake them...
Bill Maher was embarrassed of Ben Affleck.
Bill Maher is a Zionist shill

A genuine intellectual vs a man suffering from substance addiction his whole life, living in the Hollywood bubble while trying to virtue signal on cable tv.
Exactly
True😂
Boom
brett warren dude, Ben Affleck, for better or worse, has been in and out of rehab practically his whole life. I was pretty clear on what I meant. He is not a man whose judgement I would consider on ANY serious matter. Doesn’t make him a bad person, we all have our vices, but he can get off his high horse right about now and stop lecturing people on anything, he barely has his own life in order.
He was probably still reeling from being outed as rapist from his 90s groping
Imagine Hitchens being there instead of Sam. He'd have completely dismantled Affleck.
Ain’t that right
Hitchens was another animal. Sam is a great debater but much more tame.
Oh my word...Affleck would have been STRETCHERED out of there.
Hitchens would just have given a disdainful glare and declared "what an incredibly stupid man"
Sam is calm as butter. Chris would have had a drink and messed Ben up
Watching Sam Harris try and speak with Ben Affleck is like watching a professor deal with a child who accidentally wandered into his lecture hall.
...In a batman suit! 😂 throwing a tantrum! 😂😅😂
This is my fav comment ever. I even did something I never do. I liked it.
Lolzz. That's how Professor Chomsky once treated Sam Harris...
Patrick, your right, Ben wiped the floor with this racist Sam Harris
@@lucifelmartell "Once professor Chomsky?" That would mean Chomsky was once a professor but is no longer a professor. I think you should rewrite your statement so that it makes sense.
Ben Affleck may have had noble intentions on some level, but he was intellectually out of his depth. He didn't even try to understand the points Harris made.
MarkNUK nice point. Ben Affleck is more like a soccer mom who refuses to inoculate her child. Ya, well meaning but fatally stupid.
Yes but Affleck has portrayed educated people. Check him out in “Dazed and Confused “.
MarkNUK he has a iq of 150.
Tech 17 lol. Sure he does
cato look it up
"We have to be able to criticize bad ideas"... BEAUTIFUL!!!! Too bad Affleck doesn't get it.
Except that Ben made clear after that , that we should criticize bad ideas but most attacks against Islam are only meant to make people hate muslims , despite that American imperialism killed more People than every terrorist group combined , get over that fact that Ben exposed them for the liars they are
@PEACEFUL WARRIOR I would say fundamentalist islamic doctrine just to give the good Muslims an out, but otherwise, absolutely correct. Some things shouldn't be defended because they're bad ideas, and that was Sam's exact point. In the original interview, nicholas kristof was at least trying to say this same sort of thing (while falling into the same trap). Ben was just shouting loud trying to white knight his way in.
Affleck was just confused to see his friend Ben Stiller being such an Islamophobe.
chewymoviereviews 😂that is a good one
😂😂
lol
HAHAHA
Thats hysterical😆😆😆
It's great how Ben perfectly demonstrates the problem Sam was talking about. Yes, Ben, you are the problem!
But I'm really nawt.
Yeah, not all Bens are bad
Of course not all Bens are bad, but the IDEA of the Bens are bad
gravy hunchoz that's deep son. I've never been so delighted to be insulted hahaha
Generalizing all Bens to the moron Affleck creates a discrimination that will cause more harm than good for us Bens.. #socialjusticeforbens
Which "race" of Muslims is he racist against?
the black African Muslims?
Arabs?
Persians?
South East Asian Muslims?
Indian Muslims?
White Muslims
See how dumb that comment is, An ideology isn't a race.
+Danny Jensen Clearly the blonde Viking Muslims. :)
+Ari Takalo Mohammed would approve of their conquering ways.
+Danny Don't know, but he seems to have a concept of what Muslims 'look' like when he said
"We should profile Muslims, or anyone who *looks* like he or she could conceivably be Muslim".
Any ideas as to what features these Muslim looking people have that Sam would target as needing profiling?
And any idea what extra security measures we need to put these 'Muslim looking' people through that we don't already put everyone through right now?
After we have someone empty their pockets, put through the metal detector, xray their luggage and sniff it for explosives, what then? ... oh, you look Muslim-ish, we have an extra special process for you where we ???
+David Landry and for the billionth time online someone felt the need to misrepresent his profiling argument. wow, did not see this coming. sam never said to put people fitting the profile (which he himself fits) through extra special, super invasive, terribly humiliating security measures as you, no doubt intentionally and dishonestly, imply, but merely that limited resources shouldn't be squandered on people who are clearly not posing a risk, just to keep up silly appearances of fairness. ah but that sounds too reasonable, no one would call him a monster with such ideas, better twist his argument beyond recognition... right.
+David Landry Adding to the reply by Commodore Grayum, here's Sam's actual position on the matter:
www.samharris.org/blog/item/response-to-controversy#profiling
1:15 when Ben says “thank god you’re here” you can tell he was already pissed and gearing up for a confrontation.
Wow good catch man. Ben is a clown.
The fact that he’s visibly getting activated in preparation to say something he thinks is going to be epic is so cringe.
How could you tell???? 😂😂 it was so passive aggressive.
The word racist is so over used that it’s lost it’s original meaning.
Just like every country saying anything about China at all. China uses the race card against the west. When it is about the CCP, or investigation.
NikkiC83 No, it hasn't. How can a word lose its meaning? Maybe you are trying to imply that the word has lost its impact? A bit like the statement "make America great again", we've heard it so many times it's lost all credibility.
filmsec
Do you know what the word originally meant?
@@UkfilmingUk_BobCam Semantics. It's lost it's meaning. Get over it.
@@UkfilmingUk_BobCam I'm offended
I agree with Harris and Maher. I'm a progressive but I am also getting tired of other liberals and progressive calling anyone who disagrees with them "racist", "homophombes", "Islamophobes", etc. Grow up and try LISTENING once in a while.
I'm not defending Affleck, but there is a reason why some liberals have a knee jerk reaction to defending Muslims. There were many incidents of right wing hate/violence against brown-skinned people after 9/11 There were cases of attacks against people who weren't even muslim, they were just brown-skinned. Because yeah, for some right wingers, there is no distinction between simply being brown-skinned and being a muslim. They don't care, so yeah, when it comes from the right wing, any criticism of Islam could very well be just a placeholder for bigotry. But that wasn't the case with Sam Harris.
@@VoodooV1 same story with the far left. That case of Antifa attacking a Jewish man because he was white and accusing him of being a nazi for walking nearby a Trump rally. The sides seemed to have switched. The far left is the only fascists we need to deal with these days.
@@smokedsalmon3907 sorry, that doesn't reflect reality. You're more likely to be attacked by a right wing white nationalist in America than any other group. There is only one side that keeps bragging and threatening 2nd amendment remedies whenever they don't get their way. But sure, keep ignoring evidence.
Liberals and conservatives have much more in common than liberals and leftists. Liberals and conservatives both have the common goal of protecting western civilization and making it a better place (with disagreements on how we get there) leftists are modern day fascists with the sole purpose of squashing debate, eliminating free speech, and destroying western culture entirely. Ben Affleck is a leftist
@@VoodooV1 you are defending Affleck. You're making excuses to why leftists have knee jerk reactions and don't bother listening. That's a problem.
If a Muslim isn't currently being attacked by anyone, then why are liberals getting upset when someone is telling them they are failing their own ideology?
And stats as an excuse for hypersensitivity and mischaracterization of someone's words? But why is it relevant that someone is more likely to be attacked by a white nationalist, if that's true?
I think you're demonstrating what Harris is saying.
I love Harris' nonchalant digs at Affleck, especially the steroids remark.
don't quit your job an try comedy any time soon
Krispin Wah Your sarcasm was quite poor to be honest. I would suggest you use /s next time, in order to prevent confusion.
+Krispin Wah Well I thought it was quite witty, don't you listen to these guys, you'd be a brilliant comedian! It was "thought provoking" ;)
Krispin Wah am i understanding you wrong? by I thought he addressed that people make up their minds just from that sound bite. so you can't prove or reason with those types of people that just use it to enforce their beliefs without using critical thinking.
+Rob Looji The steroids thing is actually a completely valid thing to say. Affleck got HUGE for that movie and was most definitely pumped full of all kinds of supplements. His outrageously irrational demeanor could easily be explained by it.
We have our own “Ben Affleck” as the prime minister of Canada. 🇨🇦
Our prime minister has more decency then
Your Harry ass(Harris)won’t have,even if he was born 💯 times.
You think Trudeau is a racist?
Mohsin Akhtar : Mohsin sounds like a Mohammedan’s name.
Are you a worshipper of Mohammed?
Cam Balam : Who knows what Trudeau really thinks about other races?
I know that he wore Blackface more than a few times.
I would not do that because I think it’s inconsiderate of other people’s feelings.
In Trudeau’s case, it could be just plain stupidity and thoughtlessness.
It’s impossible for me to know for sure whether he’s truly racist or not.
@@freecitizen2760 well Dave Chappelle paints his body white and makes fun of white people. Howcome nobody is getting mad over that? People need to quit being so sensitive. Otherwise you'll never make it in this world.
I love how everybody including Bill Maher's audience were understanding what Sam was trying to say for the exception of Ben. It was so obvious that Ben had no clue what Sam was actually saying.
He had no idea who Sam Harris was
Affleck wasn't even listening to them. He might has well have had his fingers in his ears saying "... lah lah lah lah lah ..."
At one point he literally says "lah dee dah" when Harris is finishing a sentence, to hurry him along.
😂😂😂
lol i just said that on another thread .😁 ben totally was acting like child
That's liberal debate tactic #1
Oh definitely. Ben acted like a child - typical left, he was screaming interrupting, refusing to let them speak. Just disgusting!
I´ve been called a racist today ,by a treehugger, who thinks Bill Maher and Sam Harris are pushing "right wing agendas" to destroy the earth!!! Amazing mental gymnastics. Great interview!
+Bianca p i wish we lived in a world where i could confidently call you a lair, but.......
+Bianca p I were called anti-Semitic and racist at work a while ago because I criticized Islam, when I showed them research that proved that a disturbing percentage of Muslims out there agree with ISIS, they said that statistics are not reliable. They claimed I had to go out in the world and see for myself... because that would not give me a random and narrow understanding at all.
Sigenzi
Strange that they pulled the anti-semitic card. I bet they hadn`t been to the places they advised you to travel.
Indeed.
***** Wait, wait, wait, who's "anti-American?" Read my user name, you imbecile. And what exactly are "we" supporting?
"Probably on steroids because of his Batman's role"
😂😂😂
Honestly lmao that probably had a lot to do with the way he was acting
As much as I think Sam handled that very well, I'd have loved to see Hitchens in the scenario instead
Jay L Like Muhammad Ali vs ice cream.
Oh man, Hitchens would have embarrassed Ben into C list actor territory.
The Mos Def exchange was a pretty good approximation.
HItchen's would've tore him a new asshole. Would've been the most entertaining stuff we've ever seen. RIP HItch.
He would of been much less diplomatic. Lol. Sam was trying to give Ben an out. Sam was actually very charitable to Ben given his hostility.
Ben was so brilliant the way he called Sam racist. Bravo! Who needs school, books, or facts? Just call everyone racist who disagrees with you.
😅😆😆
Elliot J That is the Left today who call people Nazis if they disagree with their political views.
I did that on my calculus final and aced the exam! It really works!
He was racist in his comments, doesn't take an expensive education to recognize when someone is wrong
@@user-qr2tf8vl4k Sam Harris clearly isnt racist. Not to mention racism has nothing to do with the conversation, it's about religion, not race
Problem with Ben Affleck is he probably doesn't understand 30% of the words that Sam uses while speaking.
I'm convinced, Ben clearly didn't seem to be very sharp by any definition.
94%
He understood how much of a disgusting person Harris is
After seeing Jennifer Garner on Conan, I think they both had tutors for their lines in roles played. If brains were c4, together they couldn’t blow their noses.
Ben said criticizing Islam is “bigamy”. That’s all you need to know.
Hey, it's Big of me too! Grouchy Marx.
People who can’t argue with valid point call other people racist. I mean this happens a lot.
Because some people actually are racist
The thing that bothers me the most about the aftermath of the Ben Afflack rant on the Bill Maher show is that there is such a large percentage of Americans who agree with anything a celebrity says. Afflack's qualifications are having the good luck to born with genes that made him handsome and his ability to memorize dialog he repeats while a camera is rolling. Not my 'go to' type when considering intellectual matters.
+EDITHFIVE Well said.
+EDITHFIVE
>> there is such a large percentage of Americans who agree with anything a celebrity says.
Not so much. Before this interview I had no problems with Affleck, but no positive feeling about Affleck would have overridden the nutso stuff he was saying about Islam. I'm also thinking that Affleck has to be cool because if he is seen as too activist he is going to have problems with Islam after his movie about the Iranian hostages. This whole interview seemed to me to be a kind of propaganda engineered operation to accomplish something. Something that I mostly agree with and I think went well. Who knows what Affleck believes, but the right point got through in my opinion.
*****
How it going? My original comment did not state all actors have a sub-normal intelligence level nor did I make a statement about artists confining themselves to their field. To be precise, I do not personally believe either of those positions.
Your response is similar to many remarks people have made on RUclips; assuming facts that are not present. There is nothing terribly wrong with the assumption, but it is slightly frustrating when people misread my comments, get it wrong and then accuse me of beliefs or meanings without even prima facie evidence.
Very well said.
really? people actually agreed with Ben? he is a moron and made zero valid points, all of which were backed by................wait for it...................
FEELINGS....
When you have done just the right amount of cocaine and think you're making some good points.

You nailed it
Doesn’t take much. Cocaine is a helluva drug😂
He had the coke snivelling going on lol😂
Funny. Probably true.
😆
Gotta love the irony of Ben proving exactly what Sam was saying regarding our society's inability to have critical discussion without resorting to ad hominem.
First rule of a civil discourse-If u lose ur calm, u lost.
Sam Harris is one cool-headed dude. Really impressive composure. Affleck clearly lost his; he wasn't even making sense.
Bryan Mack you're right , it's only because he's a Hollywood big shot they didn't give him the utter destruction he deserved
I don't think Ben "lost" his composure. I think he intended to get angry at Sam
"one cool-headed dude" = 'block of ice for brains', me thinks...
You clearly haven't read the man's books.
Idk, Sam is almost too cool. I think he is meditating too hard.
Ben Affleck=what happens when all your friends are on your payroll, no one ever tells you when you do/say moronic things, just a constant stream of ego fluffers. You start to think you're as smart as Sam Harris.
Bang on
Definitely. He's a fucking moron with closed ears.
No one is as clever as this muthafucka!
OGSpaceCadet well said!
This is probably why Matt Damon broke up with him all those years ago. Matt is happily married to a non-celebrity and they have a lot of kids. Matt is still respected and works on good movies. He is grounded and not fluffed up. Then there is Ben. Amazing how two such good friends rise together and go in such different directions. Sad too. I'm sure Matt misses his friend. Nostalgia sucks sometimes.
Ben Affleck embarrassed himself.
Thank you Ben...And just like that I don’t feel like watching his movies...
He's a shitty actor too!
I think Ben is just hyper sensitive about finding out his ancestors were slave owners and thinks he has to prove how not racist he is.
Manx36 I'm sure the show was in well into production at the time.
Said just used too many big words for benny
+ninjamixer * Sam
*****
Your reading comprehension is piss poor.
*****
I questioned if that was joke after I replied.
I don't think Batfleck realized the irony when he said "Thank god you are here" to Sam
"We are endowed by our forefathers"?....I didn't catch that the first time I saw the clip of Ben losing his mind over a conversation that was only happening in his mind... dude can't even quote what our forefathers wrote. "We are endowed by our Creator👈🏻 with certain unalienable rights, that all men are created equal."
Came here to say this. You said it better.
My parents? Creatards..
Ben thinks only pornstars are endowed by our forefathers.
I think Ben Affleck as a good liberal changed it to "forefathers" because he does not want to refer to God and our creator. He would rather suggest the rights we have do not come from God but from the founding fathers so they have no intrinsic value. That way when the socialist liberals like him want to take the rights away there will be less protest since they are only made by men not God.
‘Losing his mind over a conversation that was only happening in his mind’ oooooof 😿👍
The part where Ben gets mad for Sam calling him "Ben" is mt favourite.
when you can`t argue with logic, cal them a racist.
Mattias Utterström That’s racist.🙂
I am a Muslim, and I agree with Sam here. It is unfair and lazy to conflate the criticism of an idea or belief with an act of racism. I hope that he offers the same defense to those who criticize aspects of Jewish culture and religion, rather than conflate Jewish ethnicity with those problematic aspects of its culture and religion, thus labeling the criticizer an "anti-Semite."
Ali Ataie: Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Islam teach you that anyone who doesn’t follow your religion is an infidel? Wouldn’t that make you anti Semitic?
*Ali Ataie I couldn't agree with you more! =)*
Ali Ataie I’m an atheist and I respect your view. Nothing fundamental and nothing trying to influence those political views. Respect
How do you not see this guy hates Islam and btw what's ur background?
@@thatsomalidudemudug868 how do you not see that years after this interview took place you're still proving his thesis correct in his favor?
The list of Hollywood movies I will be watching, is getting shorter.
“BEN NO LIKE FACTS..FACTS BAD. BEN SLEEP NOW”
This is one of the reasons why we should not listen to what actors think about some issue..
About any issue at all .. except what they’re professionals at ... ACTING.
Exactly, Who cares what opinion actors or celebrities may have? Their occupation is to amuse us in one way or another. Period.
Not only in America
I hav to disagree, ppl no matter what profession should still be seen as individuals. I bet most of you would listen to Morgan Freeman, he is brilliant. So lets not go to the same place stupid ppl like Ben Asslick go.
@Jim McCracken right but smart ppl still see the difference between fame and intelligence and dont fall for that.
guys be honest when it comes to intellectual giants "Ben Affleck" isn't someone that comes to mind..
I think Affleck in real life is kind of like the meathead friend he played in Good Will Hunting.
He isn't even good at his own job (acting)
Dude is a director, actor, and philanthropic person. When you teach yourself how to adapt a screenplay and translate it for millions of people (given a complicated subject matter) you can call out others intelligence
but he's good coz he exposes this racist man
@@user-qr2tf8vl4k Sam Harris actually studies this subject matter, Ben is way out of his element. He's obviously entitled to his opinion, but he was just reacting emotionally with no rational basis for his claims
Sam Harris...my hero! Thank you for all you do :-)
Ben is the reason why my parents told me to stay quiet when adults are talking
Sam Harris has got to be one of the coolest, laid back Dudes in America. He’s articulate and so likeable. A real gentle giant in his field. Respect my man.
Daniel Robertson I agree! He is so calm and collected, well-spoken and thoughtful. Great man!
Yeah, civility. I wonder where he got that.
Why are gentle midgets not appreciated?
Daniel Robertson Keith said it well. Ben is basically the antithesis of Sam Harris. Brash, loud, ill-educated and definitively narcissistic. To say Ben is out of his depth barely begins to scratch the surface. I never really liked him, but never bothered to define exactly why. This interview reinforced and cleared up my personal dislike of him. He just needs to focus on his marginally subpar "acting" and leave the topical debates to those with the intellectual capacity for it. Putting him on a panel of truly heavy thinkers seems cruel & borderline comical....on top of his abject inability to listen. If he's not the center of attention, he basically just starts yelling over those around him.
Except for the fact that his view of Islam is totally flawed.
how do all these movie stars become experts on everything?
Most movie stars are dropouts.
When everybody is sucking you off you start to believe in your own importance.
Its amazing what you can find out about individual movie actors, a lot of them got into acting because they were qualified for nothing more than toilet attendant, and some are borderline illiterate.
Your words have more meaning today than ever, sir!!!
They aren't. They live in this Hollywood bubble that they have no idea how to navigate. It is a shame that they perpetuate our political fields, like they do.
Its interesting to note that Harris, Hitchens, Dawkins, Krauss never raise their voice or lose their temper when confronted by a aggressive or hostile debater as they don't need to as they all have the power to dismantle people intellectually!!
Ben affleck proving that he is a very important person within the confines of his head
They argued for an hour in the greenroom after the interview?!?!?! Ben Affleck was on hormones.
Beta!
Sam Harris and Ben Afflecks debate is a great example of how it’s hard to beat someone in a debate who’s smart but a whole lot harder to beat someone’s who’s dumb.
The point they were making just shot straight over Ben's head
No , beacuse Ben is correct in saying Sam Harris is racist , Sam said we should racially profile people
Proud Leftist How so?
Sam: Not every criticism of Islam is bigotry
Ben: So you’re saying islamophobia doesn’t exist.
"Well, apart from him being probably on steroids for his Batman role..." SAVAGE
I'm so pumped that I might even respond to the interview with my not trolling account.
Probably not, but still.
Holy shit, we're changing the world!
+Rubin Report with Dave Rubin You guys forgot to mention Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks and his ridiculous response to that incident along with that prick Reza ASSlan.
+TheSololobo Watch the full interview tomorrow...
+TheSololobo -I know and when Cenk covered this on TYT,he attacked Bill Maher and Sam Harris and praised Ben Affleck. Also when Resa Aslan came to be interviewed by Cenk, Cenk was so polite to Resa Aslan and never rude.
+TheSololobo Cont. but when Sam Harris came to TYT interviews episode, Cenk was rude and never let him talk at all.
Sam Harris is just kick-starting a well-needed conversation about islam that we in the west had about Christianity centuries ago. The reason why people are not burnt at the stake or stoned to death in Europe for blasphemy is because people like Sam Harris centuries ago had the balls to call religion out, and at great cost to themselves.
If Ben Affleck was in 16th Century Europe he would be saying "No, if you say burning witches is a bad idea you are a bigot and offending all the people who want to burn witches"
Hopefully Arabs in 2400 will be watching this clip and going "Sam Harris was right and Ben Affleck ...wasn't".
the fact that your book "dont burn this book" first page is "for ben Affleck" XD I died laughing
I didn't know Ben Affleck and Ben Stiller had beef.
bdawggification two Ben enter, only one Ben comes out
An intellectual confrontation between Sam Harris and Ben Affleck is like a tiger fighting a tied up donkey
savage.... I love it..... stealing it. thanks
Or Mike Tyson beating up a child.
Dave Sosa all your smears against Ben mean nothing , he refuted the fools mahr and haris and there hatred and all you find is bigots crying in the comments
@@syrianatheist7956 Intelectually, Ben has to go through 4-5 lifetimes to be on pair with Mahr and Harris....

Great Job! Sam Harris was the perfect pick for the first guest! :)
Ben Stiller vs Ben Affleck
hahaha...you, my friend, are a Master.
Yes, Sam Harris is a jew
I was looking for this comment lol
Joel Pearson nice touch 👌🏾
Yes
I'm a Christian and I've heard Sam criticize the Judeo-Christian World view. I have no problem with that even though I don't agree with his conclusions. Sam is a Big Thinker and I think he truly wants the world to be a better place. I respect that. I've never consider his comments to be racist. Ben shouldn't speak when adults are talking!
Can't believe he called Affleck an A-lister.
Ben Affleck literally just PROVED Harris’ point... Harris offered up an observation and an opinion, a topic that he’s apparently very educated on, and Affleck without hearing out any facts that Harris had to back up his claims immediately went to “RACIST, BIGOT, INTOLERANT”
incredibly sad to see that from Affleck.
Zokersghost please provide an example.
Zokersghost when Trump does it he’s merely trolling and mocking the left’s rhetoric by giving them a taste of their own medicine. When the left does it, their intentions are to appear self-righteous to the public to further their political agenda.
Well, it's literally the only play in the liberal Hollywood playbook. He's just doing the only thing he knows. Well, that and whiskey.
so eager to virtue signal they become impervious to facts and reason. this is the way of the woke.
Ben affleck was a complete embarrassment to political discourse and intellectuals everywhere.
Ummm... that would mean Ben is an intellectual ? I would say He became a meme at best and a dismissive chuckle at worst. and i'm not an "intellectual" Lol
Ben Affleck jumped into the Adult end of the pool and immediately flailing his words demonstrated every wrong counterpoint, I truly believed he was high on something, it was bizarre
Ben Affleck is a fool, and what's worse he's a fools idea of a fool.
criticizing a religion itself is not racist..
I didn't know Ben Stiller was a neuroscientist
Don't worry Sam. The Batman doesn't know a thing about Islam
The Overthinker, That’s not true, it’s quite opposite. Sam needs to study Islam before he starts barking nonsense.
Sam Harris starts with an argument that Ben kindly illustrates...
Batman Interrupts. The new movie title.
"this is batman" dude Christian Bale is batman
Adam West is Batman. Michael Keaton is Batman.
George Clooney is Batman. Christian Bale is Batman.
Ben Affleck is Daredevil
jorgensenmj Charlie Cox is Daredevil. Ben Affleck is a buddy of Matt Damon‘s.
Chris George
Afleck was a better Bruce Wayne than all of them
Ben Affleck is Bigotman
jorgensenmj idk about George Clooney
Thank you for what you do, Sam Harris.
"...get that mirror bent close enough toward his face..." hahah
Excellent interview! I am *SO GLAD* Dave left TYT. I'm hella stoked about this new setup. Larry King is the pinnacle of interview journalism, and Dave reminds me a lot of him, so I'm glad LK's involved too. Mark my words: The Rubin Report is going to be *MASSIVE*.
mediadrone01 Prophet? 👆👆👆👆
Ben made himself look like a childish fool. 99% of people interpreted it that way. Good job Sam.
99% ? Haha you're giving the majority who are progressives far too much credit !
Unfortunately many still agree with Ben’s misunderstandings and ignorant virtue signaling
"for him possibly being on steroids for his Batman role" lol, well said.
This is the first time I'm watching this host! He just earned a new viewer❤️
The 690 downvotes all came from Ben Affleck
Doodles McStroodles They came from the rest of the Hollywood liberals. They are all retarded
Doodles McStroodles or the babysitter he slept with.
Claiming criticism of Islam is racist is a genetic fallacy.
His voice is sooo calming
My favourite part is when Sam says "Ben" and Ben mouths it back to him, the clear subtext being "You dare call me Ben?!!"
Congratulations Mr Ruben on moving on from the TYT network, and nice guest on the show.
"Apart from his possibly being on steroids..."
XD lol
I do think this interview with Ben woke a lot of us up to how illogical the left is
He really did
Didn’t realise how bad it’s gotten since
Who is watching this in 2020? Iconic interview between Harvey Specter and Ben Stiller.
Hey where's the Orbitor?
Someone has to paste Sam's face on Superman, throughout that figt scene. C'mon, you people with editing skills!
Superman loses though, Sam doesn't.
They can cut in a pint where he is winning. :P
Sxmmerville I need to see it XD
"Tell me, do you bleed" scene would work very well from justice league.
I've been waiting for this : D
+MTimtam But only 11 minutes long?!?!? :( :( :(
+Birch Williams Read the description: more to come :D
+Birch Williams ...don't worry... more coming... read the description...
***** Thanks! I never read that stuff... Maybe I should start! LOL ;)
WOW!! Love it! God Bless Dave (& David) & I guess, Sam Bless Sam
I love my Muslim brothers and sisters and at the time I cheered on Ben simply out of my bias towards compassion. But I noticed that Ben was the one being condescending towards Muslims. Putting them on a pedestal beyond criticism. Islam is not beyond criticism simply because Muslims face bigotry in the Western world.
Go home Ben, You’re drunk!
😂😂😂
Ben refuted the bigot Sam Harris , I hope you know Harris supported racial profiling
dumb...its called dumb
Ben Affleck Vs Ben Stiller. BATTLE OF THE BENS.
I have no evidence to back this up, but Ben Stiller seems more intellectually capable. LOL
Only if Ben Stiller plays Zoolander, that way it'll be a fair fight lol.
Can we add Ben Shapiro? Just to add a bit of rationality to the forum LOL.
Ben Affleck: “You don’t judge a whole group of people based on the actions of a few” (UNLESS you are judging Christians, Republicans, caucasians or heterosexuals, right Ben?)
I dont know why anyone would listen to an actor or actress in the first place!
Snow Rider As if someone’s profession automatically makes their opinions invalid. Great argument.
@@Jopadi your reading comprehension skills suck! I never implied that either!
It’s a good argument indeed. Unless you’re used to discuss astrophysics with plumbers. Or enjoy getting engaged in cosmology with a dentist
@@MassimoAngotzi exactly!
