Sam Harris

I've been followed for over a week now from likely Homeland or FBI, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won't because they know I am armed and I have a massive VBID. Let me pause right there for a second. So he says a massive V-bid. When I was talking to the FBI yesterday, they didn't know what a V-bid was.

Today I'm speaking with Carl Robichaux.

Carl co-leads Longview Philanthropy's program on nuclear weapons policy.

and he co-manages their Nuclear Weapons Policy Fund.

This is a fund to which the Waking Up Foundation will soon be giving a fair amount of money.

If you'd like to support it along with us, you can find the relevant link in the show notes in your podcast player.

For more than a decade, Carl led grant-making in nuclear security at the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

He also previously worked with the Century Foundation and the Global Security Institute, where he focused on arms control, international security policy, and non-proliferation.

And the topic of this conversation is the ongoing threat of nuclear war.

We discussed the new film Oppenheimer, which I must say really is a masterpiece.

If you haven't seen it in a theater and it's still playing in a theater near you,

I highly recommend that you see it.
