“Pay attention to how Sam talks abouts Islam. He is totally fine with bombing Middle East countries based purely on their beliefs. He ignores other factors that also lead to their actions.
He has defended racial profiling at airports (i.e., he believes all brown people, as an official policy,...”Read full review »

“Hi Sam, this is Brandon. First time, long time. Hey, listen bud, can we get some new intro music? Or none. Just my two cents.
Thank you 🙏”

“Where’s your snapshot of the Israeli Zionists lifestyle and culture who brag and torture corpses on videos? You’re so far off base here. Extremism on all sides is wrong and you focusing so heavily on that of Islam is very telling. You also shared misinformation which is extremely harmful.”

“I have long respected Sam’s inquisitive approach and opinions on wide ranging topics. However, more and more it feels like he is unable to step outside his personal world views for an objective perspective. I am an atheist, and I find it very difficult to hear him talk about antisemitism (which...”Read full review »

“Episode 340 is a sad contortionist spectacle, as Sam bends backwards and crawls even further up his own bowels to find a putrid justification for grotesque tribal revenge. Zero logical, philosophical, moral, ethical clarity here.”

“Thank you for framing this background. How so many diverse groups in the west choose to come out after a disaster like this and throw their weight against Israel is horrifying.
Where are they on all the issues in the Muslim world? Silent.
No idea how the left coalesced in picking Israel as...”Read full review »

“I highly recommend ep 340. There is a lot of culture misappropriation happening with respect to what’s going on in the Middle East. Sam Harris lays out a compelling framework to understand how we should think about our current landscape”

“Used to be a big fan but since he called me a antisemite and terrorist sympathizer because I don’t agree with the benefit of carpet bombing Palestine I found it hard to listen to his podcast without being annoyed. So I will be cancelling my Waking Up and making sense subscriptions.”

“As a child I knew what I wasn’t. I never knew what I was because I was never taught the truth. People only ever told me lies. I had stumbled upon Sam Harris in my early twenties and I realized that I was not alone. Sam is a true role model in the humanistic world view.”

“For you deep view and how you share the underlying belief of Islamic jihad.

“Sam Harris has the ability to communicate truthful sane common sense.Years ago, the brave Sam Harris wrote a book, Letters to a Christian Nation—it is even more relevant now, than ever before.

“This was one of my favorite podcasts once. Now it’s just Sam monologuing to his guests, trying to get them to cosign his positions.
Who decided that it’s a good format for a show to have a host do most of the talking with occasional breaks for his guests to react to what he just said?”
