Sam Harris flaunts rapidly progressing case of TDS — and Elon Musk calls him out



Once a voice of reason, Sam Harris has only allowed his Trump derangement syndrome to progress, clouding his judgment and leaving him open to ridicule from those who used to respect his tempered point of view.

According to Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report,” Harris is “a very well-known atheist, old-school liberal” and “was sort of the leading voice of independent thinkers on the left that were calling out woke nonsense.”

“But something happened to him related to Trump that seemingly has pushed him the wrong way,” Rubin says, noting that on a recent episode of Harris’ “Making Sense Podcast,” he laid it all out there.

“I would point out that it actually isn’t necessary if you think Trump is so bad that you would vote for virtually any other human being over him, which is really the position I’m in. I just think he’s such an abnormal person. Psychologically and ethically, I mean in terms of the degree to which he is interested only in himself and his fame and wealth,” Harris told his listeners.


“I don’t know how you could still believe that,” Rubin comments in response. “Donald Trump who did get shot, Donald Trump, a man who got shot in the ear, a man who’s put his life on the line, a man who has been under investigation this entire time, which now have all wrapped up suddenly that he’s going to be next president of the United States, that somehow he’s all in it for himself.”

But Harris wasn’t finished, going so far as to call RFK Jr. a “bully” in the same episode.

“I understand how satisfying it is to find a new bully to beat up the other bullies who’ve been making you miserable. Okay, but the problem is, this new bully is worse, right? This new bully has no principles, this new bully has no journalistic or academic or scientific conscience to appeal to,” Harris said.

“Whatever might be wrong with a person like Anthony Fauci or Francis Collins or any of the other doctors who have been demonized right of center for their approach to setting COVID policy, at least they are real doctors and scientists who have some professional scruples and reputations to protect,” he continued.

“RFK Jr. has none of that. He’s just a cowboy taking shots at the establishment,” he added.

Elon Musk even chimed in after Harris’ podcast aired, writing in a post on X that “Sam Harris is, ironically, irrationality personified.”

Rubin agrees.

“That is such an extraordinarily bad take, I almost don’t know what to say,” he says.

Mask off: Sam Harris’ Trump Derangement Syndrome revealed in fiery Ben Shapiro debate



Sam Harris was once a key thinker when it came to waking liberals up to the dangers of identity politics on the left. However, that has not stopped him from contracting a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, which he has tragically been unable to shake.

“My original claim, Sam, is that Donald Trump is very obvious in his excesses. Democrats and the Democratic Party and Kamala Harris are much more, I would say much more, subtle in their excesses,” Ben Shapiro said in a debate with Sam Harris on Bari Weiss’ “The Free Press” podcast. "But those excesses are no less dangerous for being more subtle, in fact, in some ways I think they are more dangerous."

“You can’t use a phrase like ‘no less dangerous.’ Hillary Clinton conceded in 24 hours. That is less dangerous than this continuous provocation that has gone on for years,” Harris responded, referencing Trump’s denial of the 2020 election results.



“I disagree with you,” Shapiro shot back. “I think that the attempt by members of the media, by Hillary Clinton who herself said that Donald Trump was illegitimately elected based on Russian interference in the 2016 election, was highly damaging.”

Harris then acted as though Clinton no longer says anything of the sort.

“She will still claim openly that there was manipulation that took place during the 2016 election,” Shapiro responded, while Harris repeated, “That’s not true.”

Harris then went on to make the case that “the sane thing to say is that there is continuous foreign interference in our elections.”

“Sam, now you’re proposing a double standard. When Hillary says it, it’s totally subtle and fine, and when Trump says it in the most obvious, foolish way, it’s totally different,” Shapiro said, stifling a laugh.

“You’re just missing the relevant details,” Harris concluded.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is dismayed to see how bad Harris’ TDS has gotten, as Rubin once looked up to him.

“He’s not missing the relevant details. Hillary repeatedly, multiple times on Twitter and throughout the media, over the course of the four years of Donald Trump’s presidency, referred to him as illegitimate and said that the election was stolen,” Rubin says.

“They also had a sham impeachment, they had 51 intelligence officials who claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation,” he continues, noting Big Tech banned the story.

“You had an entire machine that was designed to destroy Donald Trump,” he adds.

Watch Jordan Peterson’s face as Sam Harris SLAMS Elon Musk



American philosopher, neuroscientist, author, and podcast host Sam Harris might have once called Elon Musk a friend, but his opinions of the billionaire have since changed following Musk’s purchase of Twitter.

Harris shared his criticisms with Jordan Peterson on a recent episode of Peterson’s podcast.

“Elon used to be a friend, ... [but] his engagement with Twitter has been catastrophic for him as a person,” Harris said.

Harris went on to claim that Musk “was so addicted to [Twitter] that he felt he needed to buy the platform,” that his use of Twitter/X has “massively signal-boosted the profiles of anonymous, QAnon, lunatic trolls,” and finally that his involvement in X has led to the “obvious degradation of his reputation in most circles.”

While Peterson doesn’t interrupt Harris’ tirade, his face seems to suggest that he doesn’t share the same sentiments as he looks at Harris with a puzzled expression.

Dave Rubin, for one, certainly doesn’t agree with Harris.

“My position is obvious,” he says. “The guy has bought this thing because he has been defending free speech; it's what he spends all day long talking about on the platform.”

“I think it's a pretty dim view to say he bought Twitter because he was addicted to Twitter. ... He bought something that is allowing us to see more truth,” Rubin adds, even if that means “there might be more mean people on there.”

Bill Maher Makes Seth MacFarlane Go Silent with His COVID Rant

Guest schools Bill Maher, Sam Harris over double standard media give Biden after speaking truth about Trump-Russia lie



Conservative commentator Mary Katharine Ham masterfully exposed on Friday the double standard the media are using to protect President Joe Biden from allegations of corruption.

The "original sin," Ham told Maher and Sam Harris on HBO's "Real Time," and why Republicans distrust the media and government institutions is the concerted effort to make Donald Trump guilty of Russia collusion when the evidence was, in the end, never there.

That distrust has been exacerbated, she explained, by institutions that hold a Democratic president to a different standard.

"The standard of evidence used for the Russia thing for three, four years vs. the standard of evidence used now in media for Biden and Hunter Biden's shenanigans and fairly obvious influence-peddling is worlds apart — worlds apart — and voters deserve fairness in how these two people are treated," Ham said. "They do not get it, and they sometimes don't get it from law enforcement."

Harris actually agreed that if "Hunter Biden had been Don Jr., if it had been Don Jr.'s laptop, everything would change in terms of the reception." He acknowledged the "unfair asymmetry" of the situation but blamed it on Trump because the former president, in his view, violated democratic norms.

In response, Ham quickly pointed out that Trump is not the only guilty party to violate the "norms."

"I agree with you about the norms, and here's the problem," she explained. "A bunch of people, including in the justice system, looked at Trump and said, 'He's going to bust all the norms, and you know what we need to do? Bust all the norms to stop him!' And that was a very, very unhealthy decision.

Once again, Ham forced Harris into agreement.

"It's unhealthy, I'll grant you that," he said.

Earlier in the segment, Ham sent Harris and Maher into a tizzy by calling out the Trump-Russia conspiracy.

"The reason that so many [Republicans] accept so much of Donald Trump's behavior is because the Russia stuff was a lie, and nobody paid for it," she said.

Both Harris and Maher immediately objected. They claimed it "wasn't all a lie" and alleged part of the infamous Steele dossier "was true." And despite special counsel Robert Mueller finding no collusion between Trump and Russia, Maher claimed the collusion was "unprecedented."

"This was always David Frum's line: Everything [Trump is] doing is in plain-view and it's not illegal. He's just violating every political norm we have," Harris rebutted.

"There were things that were illegal," Ham fired back. "Like using the FISA Court to spy on American citizens in ways they shouldn't have done. And the fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign was partially funding the dossier, which partially came from — oh, wait for it — Russian disinformation. And it started this cycle of media circle-jerk, and then we had four years of that."

Sam Harris defends pro-vaccine stance



Sam Harris has fallen, and it’s not pretty.

It’s been obvious that he’s been suffering from a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome for a long time now, but it seems to have gotten worse.

He recently went on Lex Fridman’s podcast, where Lex said Sam was viewed as not being “open enough to the skepticism” regarding the COVID vaccines.

Sam, with apparently zero sense of self-awareness, responds to Lex’s question, saying, “I'll tell you how I thought about it and think about it once again.”

He continues, “It was a moving target, so there was a point in the timeline where it was totally rational to expect that the vaccines were both working and were reasonably safe, and that COVID was reasonably dangerous and that the trade-off for basically everyone was it was rational to get vaccinated given the level of testing.”

It gets worse.

In the usual Sam Harris style of calm, soft-spoken gaslighting, he says, “It was just obviously reasonable to get vaccinated. Especially because there was every reason to expect that while it wasn’t a perfectly sterilizing vaccine, it was going to knock down transmission a lot, and that matters. So, it wasn’t just a personal choice. You were actually being a good citizen when you decided to run whatever risk you were going to run to get vaccinated.”

According to Sam Harris, what goes into your body is not a personal choice.

Right.

Dave Rubin, an advocate since the beginning of this COVID mess for bodily autonomy, has his own response.

Rubin says, “First off, to say it was completely rational to think that there was a point on the timeline that it was completely rational to think they were safe … I mean it was completely rational to think they weren’t safe.”

He destroys Sam’s argument with one simple fact: “They were being pushed on everybody for a virus that had over 99.9% chance of recovery.”

Sam has built his brand on being skeptical. However, it seems he can no longer practice it.

Rubin continues, “What happened to skepticism? I thought skeptics — I mean, Sam and the atheist community and that sort of section of the secular left — I thought their entire thing was about skepticism?”

For someone who claims to not be religious, Sam seems to have completely bought into the religion of science.
