Episode notes

Prominent podcasters and tech personalities are being criticized for applauding the act of putting a microphone in front of Putin, with some likening it to investigative journalism. However, this has been met with heavy backlash, especially towards Tucker Carlson for his delusional comments about Moscow. The recent death of Alexei Navalny has highlighted the inhumane actions of Putin, who imprisons and murders political opponents and journalists. The fact that a significant portion of Americans fail to see the issue with embracing Putin is concerning.

Sam Harris speaks with Peter Zeihan about the unraveling world order. They discuss the Bretton Woods system, America’s role in securing the global supply chain, the coming end of American security guarantees, the shrinking of the US Navy, Houthi terrorism, deterring Iran, conflict in the Middle East, the future of Israel, the limits of immigration, the demographic pyramid, the demise of Europe, the war in Ukraine, the prospect of nuclear war, demographic collapse in China, loose nukes, America’s relative immunity to the world’s chaos, U.S. debt, the U.S. Southern border and immigration policy, why Trump will not win the 2024 election, and other topics.
