I figured I’d be able to find that YouTube pretty easy, but, huh, not so. Makes you wonder how fringe the opinion is. It was around the time Harris had Charles Murray on his podcast. People got upset that Sam was cordial to him and let him defend his book “The Bell Curve”. I listened to that before I heard the controversy, and I was swayed that Murray may have been misjudged. I’m not going to go around saying that, because people who haven’t read the book are sure it’s racist, and I don’t care to read an old book and try to convince them of anything. What I felt happened in the podcast was, they treated that as the old news that it is.
Here’s somewhat of a recounting of that and general context. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/02/the-unwelcome-revival-of-race-science
