Sam Harris speaks to Bill Maher about the state of the world.
They discuss the aftermath of October 7th, the cowardice and
confusion of many celebrities, gender apartheid, the failures of
the Biden campaign, Bill’s relationship to his audience, the
differences between the left and right, Megyn Kelly, loss of
confidence in the media, expectations for the 2024 election, the
security concerns of old-school Republicans, the prospect of a
second Trump term, totalitarian regimes, functioning under
medical uncertainty, Bill’s plan to stop doing stand-up (maybe),
looking back on his career, his experience of fame, Jerry
Seinfeld, and other topics.
