sam harris in california, welcome to hardtalk. happy to be here, thanks, stephen., you have an extraordinarily popular podcast in which you talk with leading intellectuals across the world but you also express your own trenchant opinions in a host of books that you've written. which is more important, more meaningful to you? the conversation or expressing your strong opinion? good question. i think i split the difference there because, as you know, i don't do much in the way of standard interviews. i'm really trying to have a conversation every time i do a podcast. so i take up 40% of the bandwidth in any interview so i get to hear myself talk to my heart's content and perhaps to the exasperation of certain guests. when you choose guests for the making sense podcast, which is listened to by millions across the world, do you like to bring in people with whom you know you and disagree quite profoundly? occasionally. occasionally, yeah, a little of that goes a long way, depending on how profound the disagreements are. but, you know, ithink what is important is to be a

sharp art and sam harris scientists believe this is one of the most powerful changes happen in our brain. would that be an overstatement to say that some amount of stress an executive is actually a good thing for the brain. well this is an interesting and important question there's actually evidence that bears on this and as a scientist i am always persuaded by data and what the data show is that your intuition is right up until some points so moderate amounts of stress can be helpful in promoting resilience. too much stress is going to be deleterious and have a negative effect so it's what we call an inverted u. shape function the optimal amount is somewhere in the middle 2 little stress or too much stress is not good but the fact is that the wife involves suffering and none of us can be fully buffered from stress stress happens and it is how we respond to it that really is the most significant in determining these long term outcomes and we can learn to harness moderate amounts of stress in a way that will maximize our ability to regulate our emotions and promote resilience. so if stres

not so long ago on the show i interviewed the american philosopher and podcast to sam harris he has aoblem with black lives matter because to him, it was another form of corrosive identity politics. i'm not so sure, pretty much you are saying the same thing, aren't you? but you are saying it as a man who was brought up to be feeling for himself to be a black man in the united states but you are saying this form of politics is corrosive, auntie i'm saying that, for anything that you've seen that is mobilise people ‘s outrage of a black man. even the footage of a black man george floyd being kneeled on until he dies, horrifically, you can find videos or evidence or case histories of that happening to a white person. i'm not saying there is not racism involved or terrible injustice towards certain demographics. i'm saying that what is our goal? if alcohol is to eliminate these kinds of abuses and to de—escalate —— if our goal is to de—escalate militarised police forces, my thinking is the best way to do thatis thinking is the best way to do that is to get a broad—based consensus that bri

harris. >> according to our interviews with the boys and to what has been reported to law enforcement, the interactions between charlie and samugh earlier this year. >> reporter: according to court documents now obtained by abc news, harris allegedly sent texts attempting to make plaintiffs meet harris in secluded locations at various competitions, like this one sent to the twins that read, hey, by the way, i found a place for us to do stuff. it's actually pretty good. that brother seeming to shrug off the alleged advancement telling "usa today," i just didn't want to make a deal out of anything at all. >> somebody needed to do something in order to prevent him from continuing to initiate these kinds of relationships with other boys. >> reporter: according to "usa today," after finding some of the alleged explicit exchanges between harris and one of her sons, the boys' mother reported harris to the united states all-star federation, the governing body of all-star cheerleading, the ft. worth police department and the fbi. >> we're going to be really looking at who knew what when. >> reporter: representatives for harris said th

harry williams bundling over the first of them. toulouse responded quickly — alban placines going over. exeter led at half time though — same simmonds sealed the win late on. toulouse did get a second try shortly after — but it was not enough for the french side. and so exeter chiefs will now face racing 92 in the final — as there will be no fairy tale ending for saracens and their dominance in europe. the defending champions were knocked out by the french side in paris — in what is the end of an era for the english side. adam wild reports. the welcome in paris comes with a futuristic feel, although the future feels full service and is rather less sparkling. condemned to relegation at home, heavy punishment for breaching financial rules, europe, then, is the last hope for this great team. in truth, saracens we re this great team. in truth, saracens were expected to get this far. still, for much of their semifinal it looked as though they could even go further. alex goode's kick keeping things close before and the second half dumping them into a slender lead. with just moments remaining a flash of french flare and he was su

kamala harris has not former mike formally taking questions from reporters since biden put her on the ticket on augus august 11th. sameditor of the liberal daily beast, to eating "the biden campaign's reluctance to talk to the press is not just annoying, though it is that. it is bad for our system of governance, especially during covid, and has a foul stench of insecurity. "richard, let me start with you. judy woodruff, i heard her in the last hour telling sandra smith, chastising her, saying, "as a tv person, your idea that campaigns are out in person, that you meet people, is very old-fashioned and out of date." that it's not the way things are done. do you not have to campaign in prison any longer? >> richard: i think any campaign require some sort of in-person interaction with the people you're trying to get to vote for you. i think it's important for the biden campaign to do that. you are beginning to see them do that. they're beginning to have social distance events or folks are required to wear masks, they are following the science to ensure that the biden campaign doesn't increase the uptick in covid-19. i th
