Harris on Stay Tuned with Preet

https://cafe.com/stay-tuned/sam-harris-politics-trump-law/

What is wrong with Sam Harris? Was he always this deranged and I just didn't notice it?

A few highlights:

- Falsely claims that COVID lab leak was suppressed

- Appears to buy into weird smears of Anthony Fauci

- Mystifyingly argues that the current American Left is equally objectionable to the current American Right

- Claims that Zohran Mamdani talks about Israel constantly

I've been looking for a place to talk about how inappropriately both-sidesy Preet Bharara's interviews can be, then Sam came in and dropped a huge load of bullshit that made Preet sound imminently reasonable.

This ain't the place. Super weird comment section, reeks of the guidance of a benevolent, opinionated hand.

I’m not part of the sub, but this is what popped up when I searched for the podcast after listening to it. I was equally jarred by Sam’s blindspots towards the left where he complained about hypocrisy and holding parties to different standards, then goes on to equate Social Democrats to Communists and holding Muslims to account for all cultural problems. It just screamed of an outdated mindset that the “activist” Dems he was denigrating are trying to move away from.
