Jaron Lowenstein: 在这一集中，我旨在从Sam那里获得更多关于时事的看法，并分享他更有趣的一面。这个系列节奏更快，包括为了创造更多能量而进行的打断。我在这里是为了呈现Sam的想法，所以不要纠结于我实际的立场。每个人都喜欢辛辣的Sam，所以我将尽我所能更多地呈现这一点。这个系列是对Sam已经做的事情的补充，而不是替代。 Sam Harris: 我认为政治暴力事件的激增与枪击案的恶名具有传染性有关。避免任何直接煽动这种行为的政治言论是至关重要的。特朗普已经将政治暴力常态化，他对1月6日事件的回应是一种常态化行为。我们现在谈论政治的方式与美国历史上的任何时期都不同，我们非常不文明。文明是避免暴力的最后一道防线。特朗普利用国内外政策来向朋友施恩并惩罚敌人，而共和党人对此却视而不见，这是专制。我们的社会似乎认为，社会上最有权势的人的个人正直并不重要，这令人担忧。重要的是，至少心理正常的人在掌权。伊朗拥有核武器对以色列来说是一个生存问题，如果他们公开表达种族灭绝的愿望，他们的邻居有理由采取行动。
