Welcome to the Making Sense podcast. This is Sam Harris. Just a note to say that if you're hearing this, you're not currently on our subscriber feed and will only be hearing the first part of this conversation. In order to access full episodes of the Making Sense podcast, you'll need to subscribe at samharris.org. We don't run ads on the podcast, and therefore it's made possible entirely through the support of our subscribers, so if you enjoy what we're doing here, please consider becoming one. Hi everybody, and welcome to another episode of More from Sam. Sam, how's it going? Good. Good. How are you doing? I am good. I'm good. We had dinner last night, but I still have to ask you how you're doing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, things could have changed in the meantime. You know what I'm doing? That's true. That's true. As a reminder to all, the goal of this series is to get more from Sam on current events more often. I'm here to surface Sam's ideas and will be doing so as always with the input of subscribers, questions, and comments. Thank you guys for taking the time to share those with us. And lastly, this series is not meant to be a replacement for anything. It's simply in addition to what Sam is already doing. So if you don't enjoy it, don't worry. It's fine. One more thing before we get started. Some updates on Sam's upcoming tour. There are currently five shows on sale at the moment. New York, Boston, Seattle, San Jose, and Chicago. I believe all those shows still have some tickets still available, although in some markets, I think that number is pretty low. So if you want to see the show, you can head over to Ticketmaster, search Sam Harris, so you can find the dates listed at samharris.org. Also, it seems likely that we're going to be adding some dates in the future, so be on the lookout for those. I'm thinking maybe LA, maybe Texas somewhere. I don't know. If you have any suggestions, please make those suggestions and we'll consider those. As a reminder, Sam will be delivering a prepared talk for the first part, and then he and I will sit down and do a version of this, more from Sam in the second segment. While Sam will offer some disturbing insights, it will also be hopeful. Is that right, Sam? I hope so. Well, again, we'll agree. A lot can happen between now and then. Yeah, well, it's a night out, so regardless of the topics, it's important that you all enjoy yourselves too, so we'll do our best to make sure that happens. Okay, let's get to our first topic and with a little fun. Did you see the, the latest on Epstein? The DOJ and FBI have concluded that Epstein had no client list. Oh, yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. Pam Bondi said she had the list on her desk, I …
