Listening to Ferguson pedal that asinine bullshit was painful. I found it insulting to Sam's intelligence, quite frankly.
Hi, pls, put me on your free subscription feed, from Iran.
"October 7 was the first defense of Palestine against the invasion of their land, and you consider this savagery and barbarism? Have you ever thought that if the invasion of Palestinian land had never begun in the first place, all these innocent people wouldn’t have been killed, and now it is Hamas and the Palestinians who are labeled as criminals? Interesting."
of course she does represent well you are lying mr farhang
Let your guest speak at some point Sam....
Thanks.
I got it! Now I got it! I've listened to this episode every once in a while, for more than three times now, and today I see what Sam sees when he says there's NO CHANCE free will exists. It would be a superpower if it existed. We would be gods if it existed.
though you have many good judges and lawyers!
What do you think of the flawed justice system there?
How about criticizing conservative and fundamentalist Judism?
Hi, from Iran. pls consider my request to follow the podcasts to the end. Thanks, Abbass

We are able to change our opinions. I once though Sam was intelligent and level headed. Then along can covid and Sam aired his opinions, which we can all go back and listen to. And he has the audacity to call out Tucker! 😄
are we going to pretend that Twitter wasn't a cesspool before Elon musk took over? quit with the gaslighting. Twitter has always been hot garbage.
Dude is so twisted. What happened to him as a child ?
I'm all for Izrael but why nobody discuss reasons why so many nations in so many countries over so many centuries on few continents couldn't coexist with them?
