#407 — Can We Ever Return to Normal Politics?

Sam Harris speaks with Jon Favreau about the state of American
politics. They discuss the Trump administration’s wrongful
deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, tariffs, why Trump’s
supporters don’t care about his corruption, the next steps for
Democrats, the energy behind AOC and Bernie Sanders, why Biden
failed on the border, Biden’s legacy, potential 2028 Democratic
candidates, Elon Musk and DOGE, whether we can ever return to
“normal” politics, and other topics.
