We are just one week away from a presidential election that will decide if the next four years are helmed by Vice President Kamala Harris or former president Donald Trump, and many are still undecided. Some of them work at The Free Press.
So today, we are hosting a debate between two very smart people who represent each side of the choice that we are going to make a week from today.
Sam Harris is a neuroscientist, philosopher, best-selling author, and host of the podcast Making Sense. Today, he will explain why he is voting for Kamala Harris. On the other side, Ben Shapiro—lawyer, co-founder of The Daily Wire, best-selling author, and host of The Ben Shapiro Show—will explain why he is voting for Donald Trump.

Sam's comments have aged beautifully.
This moderator is great!
Sam Harris just isn't that guy..
Sam Harris doesn't even know what he thinks.
After a far left loon has just assassinated a diplomat from Israeli, it's interesting to come back and see how very clearly blind Harris is about his party and the dangers within.
nick fuentes did not endorse kamala harris. ben lied.
Show Sam Harris this debate now, about what he said about Biden as president. He's one of the democrats who covered up Biden's incompetense, and dementia.
At ~ 1;57;44 Sam says, "I think she should be able to explain her change of position without any embarrassment, right?"
WOW, could that have aged less well? It just gets worse and worse for her, and ergo Sam, who would have us believe the emperor is wearing some very fine clothes. Look at this from today, ( youtu.be/Ps-SpaGgkmo?si=8hW0joselEMQPXRE&t=4463 ). Sam, you should spend the next decade in meditation.
LOL! Trump is doing exactly what Ben said he wouldn't be doing.
51:00 hasn’t aged well for Shapiro’s argument.
Ok Sam you just don’t like his personality got it
Is Biden not being a polished speaker is ok then why is it problem when it comes to Trump?
Sam did u not see the gadzillion videos of Biden who stares into space and can’t complete a sentence? Cognitive dissonance is strong in you Sam
Shouting Fascist is now like when the word Racist is uttered, it means squat and loses its meaning so not take it seriously
Trump not being ideological means he’s not swayed by one side or another and just wants to do the actual right thing for all
So Sam is upset of what happened on Jan 6 but where is his condemnation of liberals riots in the years prior? Hmmm?
Trump is a master of misdirection, he keeps Democrats off balance but the real genius is he gets what he really wants and helps Americans, everyone keeps focusing on things Trumps says and take it literally and Trump is playing chess and 10 moves ahead of Democrats
For all of Sam Harris's obsession on the J6 Capitol riot and Trump supposedly not allowing the peaceful transfer of power (even though Trump peacefully vacated the White House before noon on January 20th 2021 just like he had to) I don't hear much from him condemning CHAZ in Seattle which was an actual armed insurrection in June of 2020 and how Kamala tweeted a link at that time to raise bail money for rioters who got arrested in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area where BLM and Antifa rioters burned down a police precinct but the most ridiculous argument against Trump that he used is that these neo con warmongers who unfortunately got hired to work for Trump during his first term and who got fired by Trump and thus are disgruntled somehow have trustworthy testimony against Trump
Yikes, Ben is teaching a masterclass in being wrong here. Literally every prediction he made about a second Trump term was an embarrassing airball.
I came across and watched this debate 5-1-25 and I guess the word would be
ScoreboardIf you don’t have TDS that is. 😊100 days into Trump’s presidency and yeah, this is not normal. Ben Shapiro and many others should be ashamed.
Well a lot of this didn’t age well for Ben lol
Ben's take is currently not aging well.
This aged hilarious for Ben
You're insane
Is there an utterly boundless variation of TDS?
“Trump is WITHOUT QUESTION the biggest liar perhaps in HUMAN HISTORY…”
— Hyperbole ‘Sam’ Harris
To hear someone whose opinions are so steeped in reason and the rigours of the scientific method speak so frivolously and baselessly is such a letdown. Ironically, it’s a rather Trumpian claim for Sam to make.
Bari Weiss jumps in @ 44:10 and pushes at right wingnut narrative @ 44:28 that Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters "deplorables." Hillary Clinton says she regrets calling HALF (in 2016) of Donald Trump's supporters "deplorable" – so Weiss is spinning a narrative that has people condemning all Trump supporters. I guess maybe she herself fit into that "basket?"
snippet: Memo to candidates: Stop generalizing and psychoanalyzing your opponents' supporters. It never works out well for you.
The latest to fall into that trap is Hillary Clinton. The Democratic nominee, at a New York fundraiser Friday night with liberal donors and Barbra Streisand, said "half" of Trump supporters fit into a "basket of deplorables," while the other half are people who feel the government has let them down and need understanding and empathy.
Foreign interference in US elections has not as the moderator (Bari Weiss who founded the media company The Free Press (formerly Common Sense) and hosts the podcast Honestly. ) jumped in with – "but that's always been the case" — Ben couldn't speak Harris' name as he did Trump's without adding the insult of "word salading" and that what exposes him as a radio talk show host blowhard. Ben's description of Foreign policy is amusing
illegitimate ('not in accordance with accepted standards or rules')
Where's Ben Shapiro? They should interview him NOW and see what he says.
Harris hits home runs on the religion malarkey, but with other subjects he has the mental acuity of a MSNBC shill
Zzzzz
Ben turned out to be wrong on literally every point.
For a real smart guy, Shapiro missed on just about every point.
fuck, Sam was right.
MAGA has realy mastered false equivalency
Sam Harris repeated every lie and trope about Trump imaginable.
Interesting to watch this now, in April 2025. Some of the predictions here about a Trump presidency have not aged well.
Free press? Sam Harris? Hahahaha hahaha hahahahahaha
