Good to see you as well.

Once again, I just want to quickly remind everyone that you will be giving talks in a number of cities in North America this year.

This week, we have LA, which is sold out.

Congrats.

That'll be fun.

And then coming up, we have Dallas, Austin, Portland, Vancouver, Toronto, DC, and ending in New York City again.

So if you want to see Sam, now is the time to do it.

I've learned to stop making any suggestions.

I keep asking you to cut 15 minutes and you add 15 minutes.

So I'm just going to be quiet, but it's a great show and it's a cool experience to see you deliver it live.

And anyone wanting to buy tickets can head over to samharris.org now, and you can find all the info there.

Okay, so many things happening that I don't even know where to begin.

From Rene Good, ICE in general, Greenland, tariffs on the EU for intervening in Greenland, the potential collapse of NATO, and I haven't even gotten to Iran, and Venezuela and Maduro might as well have happened a year ago.

Yeah, well, it seems like the Epstein files have successfully fallen out of the news again.

And do we even have time to cover the latest round of antisemitism?

Plus, I want to get your take on prediction markets and gambling apps, the latest on AI and discuss Ben Shapiro's appearance on Gavin Newsom's podcast and anything you hope to discuss with Ben when he's on your podcast next month and more.

Let's see how much of this we can get to today.

So which emergency would you like to start with?

How about Ice and Rene Good?
