As a former student of both Bret and Heather’s, I’m so thankful that they CONTINUE to teach me about complex systems on a weekly basis! And also, as an Evergreen graduate, thank you for being truly great examples of brilliant minds that Evergreen did once have, amidst the quackery and rentseeking. I’m both proud of AND embarrassed of my degree at times, but the pride comes from having been taught by these two lovely human beings. And had the Evergreen controversy not happened, I’m sure I would still have my head buried in the sand.
@ I will definitely say it has been very eye opening to watch someone/s you know quite well be routinely mischaracterized and demonized by people who have NEVER met them. Bret is my favorite teacher I’ve ever had. And it helps to understand that it’s often the case that you spend 30hrs/week in one class for a whole year in Evergreen programs, and with Bret and Heather we would take quite a few field trips with camp fires and other activities that really give you an opportunity to get to know your professor much more in-depth than a traditional university. So yes, it’s surreal for sure. But if I hadn’t KNOWN them to be of such high integrity from my experience with them, it might have been hard not to be swayed by the mob of negative “hit pieces”. I have plenty of friends from my time at Evergreen who did NOT see Bret and Heather in a favorable light, including my own brother. However, in EVERY such case, the other person had NOT ever been a student of Bret or Heather’s. It was very telling. And obviously Evergreen is now infamous for catering to a particular type of young activist (noble in their intentions, but not necessarily willing to think carefully before pouncing) who is just eager to scream “injustice” in a situation like that which happened to Bret.
Appreciate your first-hand insight about Bret. I am a retired elementary teacher whose eyes were opened by the "shunning and demonizing" of people like Bret, Jordan Peterson, Jodi Shaw, and so many more. Bret, Heather, and their guests are intellectually honest people who helped me navigate the last four years and make more informed decisions about a vast range of topics. Thank you again for your comment, and good luck to you in the future.
@@christine41861 in a way that's true, but it was very late in his first presidency, May 29 2020, and during the pandemic so there were many big distractions and internal oppositions, like Fauci, to doing the work to make it stick. I suspect he really understands the thr3at the WHO is now and will have 4 years to smash all the infrastructure that exists to maintain ties to the WHO. And if this is what he does, then it's a great accomplishment.
@@christine41861 But very late and during the pandemic, suspect many were working against letting that happen, eg. Fauci. Now he knows the thr3at the WHO is and has his whole presidency to cut all ties to it, and the people that want to help him do that, like RFK Jr.
@@christine41861 May 29 2020, very late and with lots of distractions and internal opponents likely prevented all the ties being cut so it was easy to just return. doubt it will be the same this time.
Heather and Bret, glad you and your family were able to attend the MAHA inauguration Ball! Thank you for all of your hard work over the last few years, for helping to shed light on the issues that you could! Thanks for putting together the “Rescue the Republic” event, which I attended with my 24 yo daughter, driving all the way from Chicago. Immensely grateful to both of you and for all the time and effort you've put in!
@@nickmagrick7702 Well, he tried in 2017 but they put every hurdle imaginable in his way. At least this time he has some seasoned politicians in his corner.
So beautiful. There are already factions trying to take this collaboration down. As a self proclaimed trump supporter former liberal/ libertarian we all need to find a very solid island in which we all stand on.otherwise we let this powerful opportunity slip by. Right now we have many factions, with many disagreements, but we do unite on much. Let's narrow it down & stick together. Please.
I so agree! We here in Europe (Holland) are in so much trouble if America fails! I am scared even if you get it right, but than at least there will be hope for us. We are truely lost without one example in the world that telling truth is the only way!
I keep getting emails from my Democratic congressmen using the same tropes, slanders, and posturing they used before the election. It makes me wonder when they will see that their sinking ship needs righting.
@@RoyNasmanI agree, it’s laughable! I haven’t taken the time to change my party affiliation yet, and cannot believe I was so buffaloed. It literally took Kamala’s unattributed Karl Marx quotes to force me to relook everything. I came out of that process a Trump supporter
Hallo Heather and Brett, I began watching your videos somewhere in 2020, during COVID and I found your differentiated and non-moralizing viewpoints so refreshing and educating. It was also, and still is, comforting to me that two such intelligent people had viewpoints that I also held but that were largely frowned upon in society. I am German and work as a veterinarian in Germany but politically we have a lot of similar problems as the United States. Hopefully my country will catch up to the breath of fresh air that is going through the U.S. It makes me hopeful and weirdly proud to see your beautiful pictures from Washington DC after all that happened to you at Evergreen and beyond. Congratulations on your courage and standfastness. You were and are an inspiration to me.
Regarding the "Gulf of America", I respectfully disagree with Bret on the suggestion that it missed the mark. I think this name reimagined with the word America in it, from a stereotypically left-leaning point of view would be "The Gulf of the Americas" and from a right-wing point of view it would be "The Gulf of the United States of America". To me "The Gulf of America" is a middle ground that does acknowledge its importance to all of the Americas, but without making it too wordy or pedantic. We take for granted that people call the US simply "America" as a means of shortening a mouthful of words that is "The United States of America". "America" is not and never has been the official name of a country. America is a group of two Continents with regions of North, South, and Central, and all of these can rightfully be understood collectively as "America", so I think Gulf of America is as inclusive as the phrase needs to be. Mexico is one country. America is two entire continents.
Sanity… that word is completely misused if you’re referring to Trump and his band of billionaire cabinet members, plus a few very under qualified individuals who have more experience as tv hosts than running any successful organization.
“Any time that you allow a large number of incompetent people to accumulate in a system that is merit based, you can expect them to invent communism” 😂😂😂😂 this one got to me 😂😂😂😂
A foreman in a high-end San Francisco contract furniture manufacturing company said to me after I fixed a major milling flaw in the casework I was assigned to assemble and prepare for finishing; the parts had been milled on an expensive European saw---- "Can't you just be like everyone else?" American Craftsmen were expected to be subservient to highly precise European production equipment EVEN when the precision was not precise. ☺ Socialist-thinking: Precision Equipment cannot be imperfect!
Yet the US got a drunk secretary of defense, a russian meat puppet as head of the NIA, a guy getting kickbacks from suing companies that made the vaccines as head of the HHS. Yes, so much merit.
Actual Native American here. It is my hope to meet you guys someday. Honestly, everytime I tune into this show, I learn something. You do your best to outline everything in through known research and honesty. When I hear you analyze things, even when I don't think I agree, I think/feel like I am getting a fair shake at the subject at hand... not ideological twisting and narrative making. While I do agree with you that Native Americans and African Americans had a bad shake in the history making of this nation, I would like to point out that African Americans as people, never fought for freedom. Others fought on their behalf in a massive Civil War that threatened the very existence of this nation and took a great many of lives, and then the African Americans joined in to help. We Native Americans, in large, did fight for our various sovereign independencies. My tribe which is Sioux / Lakota, fought a decent amount of battles to retain our freedom. NO ONE HAS FOUGHT FOR US. It would be becoming of President Trump if honoring the treaties were forefront of the MAGA doctrine on relations with the tribes of America. The Treaties are written for us to surrender to you, in those treaties land, services, doctrine, funding, etc. were laid out. African Americans got an ammendment to the Constitution to set them free. We have treaties, and all we ask it that they are honored, much as any African American would want the 13th Ammendment to continue to be honored. Fight for the treaties!
Well on the other hand you got 4wheel drives (and horses) tap water, telephone, electricity, glasses tons of things to make up for no longer raiding other tribes and eternal warfare and seeking for food so I think the deal is in your advantage. Same for black americans living under cannibalism where they came from. Plus you have land enough to raise massive herds of buffalo and go hunt on horseback but for some reason indians prefer TV and basketball
From what we are finding out about health, real robust health like our ancestors (Im a white girl with plenty of Native American and West African and Reindeer People of Finland genes) had when Europeans got here and wrote about the subject in astonishment, I think the coolest thing would be to bring back the herds as both a perfect food for the perfect health of the people, and to restore and honor the land. Ruminant herds like the buffalo are the closest thing to a real miracle nature has ever created for human and environmental health. I dont know the treaties contents, but if they could be proposed to serve a huge purpose for American national success, given Trumps love of winning, there is a real chance imo. Less corn, more bison!!

What impressed me most about the day one and two executive orders were the quality and concision of the prose and the editorial selection of the subjects. They point to the high level of the staff that generated those orders. Those orders, more than anything else, give me greater hope and optimism that this second Trump administration will be as efficient and professional as DOGE is supposed to make the mundane machinery of government, that behind the twitter helter-skelter, daytime talkshow outrage, and click-baity podcast thumbnails, there is a focused and smooth-running government machine taking care of business.
I’m embarrassed about how much I like and trust you both. Sadly I’m no longer using critical thinking when I listen, I just take what you say at face value. ❤ former democrat, completely agree with your thoughts on where the party has gone, as a former democratic farmer/labor kid it makes me sad, but I’m having a blast watching Trump
That is really sad.... this is exactly what they want you to do...... they are delusional, and now you are too. I suggest you return to the critical thinking space, and use it on what is happening to this country. Trump's trade war is about to kill our economic growth, isolate us from the world, and will cause prices to spike. These two turn a blind eye because they have their followers and their money.
That last analysis was a real tightrope walk....., with a good portion of optimism and hopefulness in tow. May we forge ahead together, heads and hearts held high, with the future of planetary civilization as a promising horizon.
My husband saw something about renaming the Gulf to be a way to generate a loophole that would allow access for oil drilling due to restrictions on the “Gulf of Mexico”
Yes! Stop messing with the rut we are all stuck in! 🤣 Looking at you guys in the "wrong" seats feels like trying to do something with my non-dominate hand...
Bret sure did overreact to Whitney Webb. Was it really that hard to stay on topic? To refute basic historical facts instead of going all-in on character assassination with your first response? We can do better. She’s right. She has a point: It’s important to stay vigilant with Trump, as funding Gates isn’t that different from funding the WHO.
Brett's reaction was out of character. I interpreted Whitney's writing as a reminder to consider what was, compare it to what is, and question it. Isn't this what a critical thinker does? I thought Brett's comment was haughty.
I missed it. Could you all give me a time stamp? I thought his speech about naming Trump Goat is premature, and doesn't mark of critical thinking at all! I like these two, but yes haughty is a good word. They are good at proclaiming that they are willing to be called out when they are wrong, but they don't do it.
He certainly seemed unduly triggered, given that she only stated facts. People have noticed. She deserves nothing but respect for giving due diligence to her research and unbiased reporting -- unlike Weinstein.
I got to following y'all during the Covid years for your great dissection of the situation and clear rational discussion of matters. I fell off in some the intervening years, but golly am I glad I stayed subscribed. Your guys have matured quite well and your content is better than ever now. Keep up the great work!
Same here. I keep hoping Congress will step up and assume their Constitutional responsibilities; they are the branch of government most accountable to the people. They have outsourced too much of their power to the judicial and executive branches. Hence, all of these executive orders, regardless of party.
I watch MOST episodes, and while yes, Bret and Heather voted Trump, I’ve NEVER heard a mea culpa from them after them saying in Jan of ‘21, the best thing for the country moving forward was for Trump to be impeached so he could never hold office again. Did anyone else catch that?
Yes. I am a big fan of Brett & Heather. But I remember Bret saying he thought it was good that all the FBI, media, elites, etc closed ranks and refuted the Hunter laptop story. I was shocked at Bret's attitude to that at the time. t, like you would like to hear an apology for that.
@@francestaylor9156perhaps you should check out ep 63 from the 6 min mark. Bret has demanded many times that he wants an apology from people who pushed the vax if they are to be forgiven. Even if they now say the opposite. So, no, it’s not enough.
And then it was kind of shoking to hear from Bret that “the *regime* addmitted it’s defeat” because there was no contestion of Trump’s victory. Like, yeah… Undermining the legitimacy of elections was never Dem’s strategy. What are you talking about.
I don't think that's what she said or meant. I think it's more that there are species that if you protect them you also protect the whole ecosystem, and I think most would agree is what you want to do, for our own and nature's sake too.
There is no water issue because of smelt. It is propaganda and rile up issue for maga. Just as Panama Canal, greenland, Gulf of America, a circus with Colombian deportations all designed to throw around fake machismo, display thuggery and mafia like behavior.
Could the digital coin be a way to launder large donations without disclosure and scrutiny? Back room deals could be made with agreements to buy his coin.
The apologists in the these comments remind me of the old Christianity vs atheist debates, Bret should be proud with his “scientific background” to the very very disappointing level of intellect here. I could swear I’m witnessing a religion and its faithful making any and every excuse for the actions of their “leader”. This is the most terrified as an American I have ever been for the state of our country, And this is an obvious failure of “intellectuals” like Bret who have to shut off part of their brain to appease their very biased audience which otherwise could potentially affect their stream of revenue.
Speaking of US justice system failures, very recent and utterly shocking is a case of State vs Richard Allen in Indiana. Innocent man has been arrested, tortured in solitary cell in top security prison for 2 years awaiting trial, tried and sentenced to 130 years in prison. Judge blocked defense from presenting strong evidence pointing to other perpetrators, known to the State and corraborated by FBI investigation, to be presented at trial.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus the Director-General of the World Health Organization since 2017, has a net worth of $155.5 BILLION DOLLARS according to the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires tracker. The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for global public health. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. It is well past time that the United States withdraw its membership from the U.N. and kick them out of United States, they could move to Geneva, Switzerland with their subsidiary, the W.H.O. The United States has contributed US$ 1.284 billion to the World Health Organization (WHO) during the 2022-2023 biennium. The U.S. government also paid more than $18 billion to the United Nations in 2022. The U.S. pays $116M each year to the WHO, or about 24% of the entire organization’s budget. Sounds like NATO which for 2024 under Biden was 15.8% (or USD$3.5 BILLION) while the most of the 23 member countries of NATO barely achieve the 2% guideline. The Trump administration has their work cut out for them.
The point about the fish and humans coming before fish is your past leftist environment activist coming out. Lol. It's not saying kill all fish with no regard. It's saying whenever it comes between betterment of fish OR betterment of man, the betterment of man MUST always come first. In any other scenario, save the fish, certainly.
Whenever I to check my fulcrum, I listen to your podcast. Always refreshing to have two well thought out and respected individuals provide their perspectives. I don’t always agree, but you can’t advance society without listening to others. Thank You.
Alaskan here. We call it Denali and will continue....I get the posturing, and appreciate the "in your eye" thing about renaming, but, yeah, it won't work up here really. Denali means "the Great One." It is.
Another Alaskan here. We learned the name of the mountain in school, and the name was Mount McKinley. We also learned that some natively oriented people called it Denali and we didn’t much care. I still don’t care. Just pick a name and stick to it so we can both understand what the hell we’re talking about.
Aesthetically, "Denali" is by far a superior name and also the most appropriate one. McKinley was a noteworthy president in surprisingly many of the ways in which Trump also aspires to be noteworthy (for better or for worse), but I doubt if there are many Americans who know anything about him. HIs VP was Teddy Roosevelt, who became president when McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist in the first year of his second term in 1901. Trump delights in tempting fate ;-).
In your head or materially for most of us? I’m very curious because materially nothing has changed, and we have yet to see what any of this will actually DO, not feel like it’s doing.
@johnk2347 The Biden-Harris Administration created and hired a huge number of DEI Federal Government employees. This helped substantially pad up the Biden-Harris Administration's jobs reports. It also created one of Democrats favorite things; a bigger Federal Government! A larger Federal Government increases the cost of running the government, and keeps inflation high. President Trump has removed DEI hires from the Federal Government, and he has also demanded employees return to work instead of letting costly run Federal buildings remain empty. His Administration has ended the practice of Federal employees working almost exclusively from home since the Pandemic. Many of them are choosing not to return, which will lower the cost of government and, thus, inflation also. President Trump also has his team investigating the feasibility and need for careless USA tax payer paid for government spending, such as the USA sending $50,000,000 to Gaza for condoms. Again, less goverment spending lowers the cost of government and our inflation. President Trump is actively engaged in arrangements to set up his goals to "Drill Baby Drill"! More worldwide sales and cheaper energy costs will lower the cost of everything! The absolutely terrible Biden-Harris misadministration drove up inflation and prices to disater levels in their 4 big spending years in office. Democrats complaining that prices havent been lowerd in only a week of President Trump being in office is solid evidence of the kind of fantasy, out of touch with reality thinking that got Democrats voted completely out of power! President Trump has had an impressive week in begining to clean up the high prices and mess the Biden-Harris Administration left.
They're fighting him tooth and nail, to keep him from being sworn in. Already 2 of his choices have been thrown out. Attorney Adam Siri, probably the other most knowledgeable person on the planet about all vaccines was one. Sorry, forgetting the name of the other person; not familiar with her.

@@reneeodayok859 It has been named the Gulf of Mexico since the 1600s. Do you think anyone besides Trump's cult will seriously refer to it as the Gulf of America?
Is this Brett and Heather talking? Who are these people making comments? What the heck is going on here? Something has changed and not for the good. Did the Rescue the Republic event change them? And what about Brett's haughty comment to Whitney Webb. Brett spoke out like an influencer. I'm perplexed. Does anyone want to fill me in on what's going on? I'd appreciate it.
The change is AWESOME! I believe the change happened with the rollout of the vaccines along with the mandates forcing people to take them. I never listened to them ( much less heard of them) before this point. They did a deep dive into both of those things and then began un peeling the onion on government corruption. Now they address news headlines debunking the current narratives. This is by no means a comprehensive description for “what changed?” For instance, both Brett and Eric have a solid friendship with Joe Rogan which no doubt helped change their world view and vice versa!
@@pod8234 Hi, I've been listening to Bret and Heather for years. Yes, there has been a recent change in political attitude, which puzzles me, because Heather and Brett have been politically neutral until now. Everyone changes - attitudes, perspectives, and opinions. I was taken by surprise and this is all.
@ I gotcha! I was also taken by surprise by friends who suddenly ( or so it seemed) became “political” after years of neutrality. I myself didn’t give a fig about politics for several years. But something has changed in our country…actually around the globe…and it seems I can’t help myself now. Perhaps they felt the same way.
@@leoklenber5359 yes, it pissed off a bunch of people who we like to prove contribute nothing to the species except getting offended and being destructive
Re: Gulf of America. Oh, dear, you took the bait. This is an inconsequential EO among all the hundreds, designed to get people wasting time talking about it.
To Heather's point on the death penalty, I'm not sure I understand the comparison that it's better for a guilty person to live a life in prison than for an innocent person to be killed by the state, because one can also argue that it's better for a guilty person to be killed by the state than for an innocent person to live their entire life in prison. Either way, the innocent person is screwed. If it was me wrongly accused I'd rather be executed than live my life in prison, separated from my loved ones with no possibility of parole, for a crime I didn't commit. Where's the QoL in that situation? How would my loved ones get closure and move on knowing I'm in prison suffering all my life for no wrongdoing of my own? At least if I died they could move on at some point knowing I'm no longer suffering. American prison is hell on earth, not a staycay. I'm honestly not sure which penalty is stricter and more harsh, life in prison or capital punishment, but to me life in prison is vastly sustained suffering while execution is brief suffering and by comparison mercy. I think you will find many people disagree on the matter. Some people can handle prison life. Others cannot. We don't hear about them. My solution would be to give the guilty party the option to choose between execution and life in prison for offenses in which the penalty is that severe. I guarantee you many would choose death. History tells us so. Then the wrongfully convicted still have some control over their own path too, whether they want to stay alive in prison with possibly some hope of acquittal, or whether they find that life insufferable and are at peace with greeting death. Imagine living a life in prison with some glimmer of hope you'll one day be found innocent, for decades, for your entire life, and the day never comes, and you die in prison anyways. Was that not another, more torturous form of death penalty?
I agree in general, but allowing people to choose to die (assisted suicide) also has some negative consequences. For me, the fundamental premise is: our justice system isn't supposed to make mistakes in the direction of punishing the innocent, and the price for that is allowing some of the guilty to avoid punishment. That is the design, and that premise is the basis for all forms of punishment. Is it actually true? No. But we must presume it's true to impose any sort of punishment. The death penalty is no different in this regard, because if you say that we can't impose it because the "found guilty" might actually be innocent, they same argument applies to every other punishment. For me, the only reason to use capital punishment is to grant some feeling of revenge to the victims (or their families). They like to use the word "justice", but what they mean is really "revenge". And I can understand how that can help people move on after certain tragedies. It's no different than stories where a father kills the abuser of his daughter - most people understand why he did it, and many would support him. The State replaces the father for many.
So long as you're alive, you can challenge the system which screwed up. No decision by the government should be so permeant that the next, or even current, generation can't stop and change course.
I have a little different view. Because I can compare it to living in a nurcing home. Where your children put you. I felt I had no choice at the time and thought it was my only option. Now ,, three years later. I hate my life and realize I could have chosen a different option if I had not been under derress. But too late. I think although I still have little hope. Of course money is an issue. But I could have lived in an apt and paid for home care occasionally. I hate living in my bedroom. Cannot eat what and when I want. Too much control. Sick people all around me. My like as I knew it is gone and I did nothing wrong nor committed a crime. So different kinds of prisons. This may not relate to the subject exactly, but just felt like venting. Feels like prison to me🥲😢🙏
@@margaretvey8330 That is awful. Did they take all your money upon entry to the nursing home? They do that in my country which leaves people with few options. I will pray for you, maybe your children will wake up to themselves.

Regarding 'The Great One', which I finally got to see last year with my own 2 eyes, I would prefer to keep the name Denali for the mountain and rename the park to MnKinley Natl Park. It would be a great compromise.
Actually it in no way shape or form should be in the hands of the govt. It was fine before Nixon signed the HMO act which allowed for "managed care" to grow and take over the industry.
So, H&B, if one could guarantee that a given person slated to being put to death by the state was absolutely guilty, no doubt about it, you would be alright with their execution? For me, the possibility of innocence is not the reason for opposing the death penalty (at least, it is not the primary reason). The reason is that it is wrong, period. Vengeance is defeatist and childish, and execution is a tantrum being thrown by the state. It may be naive and childish of me to also say that putting someone to death implies that the person could never ever possibly do any single bit of good ever. To me, that is a terrifying abyss to look into: However unlikely, something that person says or does in the ensuing years of their incarceration could conceivably save a life, or improve a life, or maybe even prevent someone else from committing a crime. This is what I mean by "defeatist". I'm not sure I articulated this the way I might like, but I felt compelled to chime in, especially since I so rarely disagree with the two of you. And BTW, #DarkHorseWorldsMostImportantPodcast
Is anyone else astonished at Heather's incorrect reading of the DOGE thing? The termination of the temporary part "shall not be interpreted to imply the termination" etc., of the DOGE itself. Admittedly that is a bit obscure, but it leaves the thing open-ended, obviously at Trumps discretion. Note also that Musk is directed not to report to Trump, but to Chief of Staff Susan Wiles-- who has flatly denied Musk an office in the White House. The palace intrigue commences.
Relatively large segments of (mostly) downtown Washington, DC get blocked off regularly! They do that for all kinds of reasons & events. There aren't always quite as many LEOs, but it can be such an inconvenience and frustration. It is particularly bad when there's a parade, a march or a marathon; it's not uncommon for an entire area to have no way OUT! Or for there to be no way to reach certain parts of the city without perhaps going to Maryland to get to Virginia, and back into DC (easily a 20-30 mile journey) to get somewhere that's less than a mile away! And then there are the motorcades for the POTUS or foreign dignitaries/heads of state. First a surprising number of police on motorcycles force all traffic to stop & move to the side of the street with an officer stopped about every 50 feet (at most). They "secure" the route quite a long distance ahead of the motorcade, so even though those vehicles come flying through at about twice the speed limit, there's usually a 10-15 minutes wait for them to come through (sometimes longer). And they keep the traffic stopped for another 5 minutes after the procession has passed.
LED lighting is just as bad as the compact fluorescents. They don’t render color correctly and the electronics inside are unnecessary and lead to premature failure. Time will tell.
Thanks for sharing the EO overview. Enjoyed the chance to delve into some of these for a clearer view. Amazing how the new team is working. Bret you mentioned Panama and I saw your trip episode.

@@sisterseethB&H have been largely responsible for several elite driven initiatives failing at this point. Brett is one of the few who had gone in depth point out that the entire mRNA delivery platform is inherently dangerous. Not just the jabs and their specific composition and use of the tech.

I think it depends on how mRNA is used. The issue with mRNA wasn’t the tech but that it was not refined and then FORCED on the public. The latter being the greatest issue.
You’ve noted “A” reason why SOME people are against the death penalty. I’ve spent time with lawyers who specialize in the death penalty and they have different reasons for their opposition. I am not morally opposed but am grateful there are so many dedicated lawyers forcing the government to prove their case.
@@grannyannie2948 Trump did a video call into the WEF today, and proceeded to talk bad about their green agenda (among other things) to their faces. I saw it on Right Side Broadcasting Network as a livestream sandwiched between commentary. I think it lasted about a half hour, first him giving an address then with some questions posed to him by CEOs there in an on-stage panel.
The Gulf of America naming, is, IMO, a muscle flex by Trump against Mexico. Yes, they are a huge trading partner, but it has also allowed MILLIONS of people to trek through their country, at the enrichment of the cartels and NGOs. Mexico is at a distinct disadvantage and Trump wants to let them know that there's a new sheriff in town. Could be wrong and there might be another angle this that we don't yet know.
When I lived in Alaska, I was taught that Denali is what the Natives called God. Because that mountain was the largest in Alaska, it was associated with God.
Yes! First time I heard about renaming the gulf, my first thought was that it should be renamed Gulf of the Americas. Glad someone else had this same thought.

For cold weather black tie options, please consider: black overcoats, white silk scarves, white or black lamb nappa gloves, and also for the men, balmoral boots instead of the regular oxfords.I couldn't tell about women's shoe options, seems pretty problematic... I'll think about that for a while.

@@magnoliajames2374 Yeah--it's a double entendre at least. Best seller potential--until Trump gets wind of it and sues...
Macro-evolution (one specie turning into another) never occurred. Micro-evolution (minor changes within a specie) did.
As a former student of both Bret and Heather’s, I’m so thankful that they CONTINUE to teach me about complex systems on a weekly basis!
And also, as an Evergreen graduate, thank you for being truly great examples of brilliant minds that Evergreen did once have, amidst the quackery and rentseeking. I’m both proud of AND embarrassed of my degree at times, but the pride comes from having been taught by these two lovely human beings. And had the Evergreen controversy not happened, I’m sure I would still have my head buried in the sand.
That must be so surreal
@ I will definitely say it has been very eye opening to watch someone/s you know quite well be routinely mischaracterized and demonized by people who have NEVER met them. Bret is my favorite teacher I’ve ever had.
And it helps to understand that it’s often the case that you spend 30hrs/week in one class for a whole year in Evergreen programs, and with Bret and Heather we would take quite a few field trips with camp fires and other activities that really give you an opportunity to get to know your professor much more in-depth than a traditional university.
So yes, it’s surreal for sure. But if I hadn’t KNOWN them to be of such high integrity from my experience with them, it might have been hard not to be swayed by the mob of negative “hit pieces”.
I have plenty of friends from my time at Evergreen who did NOT see Bret and Heather in a favorable light, including my own brother. However, in EVERY such case, the other person had NOT ever been a student of Bret or Heather’s. It was very telling. And obviously Evergreen is now infamous for catering to a particular type of young activist (noble in their intentions, but not necessarily willing to think carefully before pouncing) who is just eager to scream “injustice” in a situation like that which happened to Bret.
Appreciate your first-hand insight about Bret. I am a retired elementary teacher whose eyes were opened by the "shunning and demonizing" of people like Bret, Jordan Peterson, Jodi Shaw, and so many more. Bret, Heather, and their guests are intellectually honest people who helped me navigate the last four years and make more informed decisions about a vast range of topics. Thank you again for your comment, and good luck to you in the future.
You are so lucky to have had great professors who teach you to think for yourself .
@ I am routinely reminded of that fact, with every new DarkHorse episode.
withdrawing from the WHO ... that alone makes the Trump presidency an historic success.
He did do that during his first term. Just fyi. Biden went right back in like day 1.
@@christine41861 in a way that's true, but it was very late in his first presidency, May 29 2020, and during the pandemic so there were many big distractions and internal oppositions, like Fauci, to doing the work to make it stick.
I suspect he really understands the thr3at the WHO is now and will have 4 years to smash all the infrastructure that exists to maintain ties to the WHO.
And if this is what he does, then it's a great accomplishment.
@@christine41861 But very late and during the pandemic, suspect many were working against letting that happen, eg. Fauci. Now he knows the thr3at the WHO is and has his whole presidency to cut all ties to it, and the people that want to help him do that, like RFK Jr.
@@christine41861 May 29 2020, very late and with lots of distractions and internal opponents likely prevented all the ties being cut so it was easy to just return. doubt it will be the same this time.
eg. 4 years without US funding should really help break them up.
Heather and Bret, glad you and your family were able to attend the MAHA inauguration Ball! Thank you for all of your hard work over the last few years, for helping to shed light on the issues that you could! Thanks for putting together the “Rescue the Republic” event, which I attended with my 24 yo daughter, driving all the way from Chicago. Immensely grateful to both of you and for all the time and effort you've put in!

hearing Bret say "gangsta" made the ads well worth it
Hallo Heather and Brett, I began watching your videos somewhere in 2020, during COVID and I found your differentiated and non-moralizing viewpoints so refreshing and educating. It was also, and still is, comforting to me that two such intelligent people had viewpoints that I also held but that were largely frowned upon in society. I am German and work as a veterinarian in Germany but politically we have a lot of similar problems as the United States. Hopefully my country will catch up to the breath of fresh air that is going through the U.S. It makes me hopeful and weirdly proud to see your beautiful pictures from Washington DC after all that happened to you at Evergreen and beyond. Congratulations on your courage and standfastness. You were and are an inspiration to me.
🌿🕊 Beautifully said… I also found Bret and Heather early 2020…..and I’m praying Europe turns the corner toward a Peaceful outcome.🕊
Regarding the "Gulf of America", I respectfully disagree with Bret on the suggestion that it missed the mark. I think this name reimagined with the word America in it, from a stereotypically left-leaning point of view would be "The Gulf of the Americas" and from a right-wing point of view it would be "The Gulf of the United States of America". To me "The Gulf of America" is a middle ground that does acknowledge its importance to all of the Americas, but without making it too wordy or pedantic. We take for granted that people call the US simply "America" as a means of shortening a mouthful of words that is "The United States of America". "America" is not and never has been the official name of a country. America is a group of two Continents with regions of North, South, and Central, and all of these can rightfully be understood collectively as "America", so I think Gulf of America is as inclusive as the phrase needs to be. Mexico is one country. America is two entire continents.
Or... it could be to sidestep Biden actions that locked up areas of "the Gulf of Mexico" but not the Gulf of America.
I'm not American (see I did it) but what you say makes perfect sense.
Agree
just Wondering hoe Trump can arbitrarily rename international waters. Will it stick? Doubt it.
Valid point
One difference between Freedom Fries and Gulf of America is that Google Maps is changing the name, it will not be a niche modification.

@@johnk2347 Saw your comment ! 🤣 hahaha ! John, I love a guy with a sense of humor !
“Any time that you allow a large number of incompetent people to accumulate in a system that is merit based, you can expect them to invent communism” 😂😂😂😂 this one got to me 😂😂😂😂
A foreman in a high-end San Francisco contract furniture manufacturing company said to me after I fixed a major milling flaw in the casework I was assigned to assemble and prepare for finishing; the parts had been milled on an expensive European saw----
"Can't you just be like everyone else?"
American Craftsmen were expected to be subservient to highly precise European production equipment EVEN when the precision was not precise.
☺ Socialist-thinking: Precision Equipment cannot be imperfect!
Yet the US got a drunk secretary of defense, a russian meat puppet as head of the NIA, a guy getting kickbacks from suing companies that made the vaccines as head of the HHS. Yes, so much merit.
Love you guys. Been following and sympathizing for you since evergreen state. You have thick skin and never gave up. Proud of. You.
Actual Native American here. It is my hope to meet you guys someday. Honestly, everytime I tune into this show, I learn something. You do your best to outline everything in through known research and honesty. When I hear you analyze things, even when I don't think I agree, I think/feel like I am getting a fair shake at the subject at hand... not ideological twisting and narrative making. While I do agree with you that Native Americans and African Americans had a bad shake in the history making of this nation, I would like to point out that African Americans as people, never fought for freedom. Others fought on their behalf in a massive Civil War that threatened the very existence of this nation and took a great many of lives, and then the African Americans joined in to help. We Native Americans, in large, did fight for our various sovereign independencies. My tribe which is Sioux / Lakota, fought a decent amount of battles to retain our freedom. NO ONE HAS FOUGHT FOR US. It would be becoming of President Trump if honoring the treaties were forefront of the MAGA doctrine on relations with the tribes of America. The Treaties are written for us to surrender to you, in those treaties land, services, doctrine, funding, etc. were laid out. African Americans got an ammendment to the Constitution to set them free. We have treaties, and all we ask it that they are honored, much as any African American would want the 13th Ammendment to continue to be honored. Fight for the treaties!
Well on the other hand you got 4wheel drives (and horses) tap water, telephone, electricity, glasses tons of things to make up for no longer raiding other tribes and eternal warfare and seeking for food so I think the deal is in your advantage. Same for black americans living under cannibalism where they came from. Plus you have land enough to raise massive herds of buffalo and go hunt on horseback but for some reason indians prefer TV and basketball
From what we are finding out about health, real robust health like our ancestors (Im a white girl with plenty of Native American and West African and Reindeer People of Finland genes) had when Europeans got here and wrote about the subject in astonishment, I think the coolest thing would be to bring back the herds as both a perfect food for the perfect health of the people, and to restore and honor the land. Ruminant herds like the buffalo are the closest thing to a real miracle nature has ever created for human and environmental health. I dont know the treaties contents, but if they could be proposed to serve a huge purpose for American national success, given Trumps love of winning, there is a real chance imo. Less corn, more bison!!

Bret, Heather thank you for all of your work, please continue 2 support RFKJr, MAHA
If you truly support MAHA .... you wouldn't NOT support Trump's anti-environmental regulations, or his freezing of the NIH....
What impressed me most about the day one and two executive orders were the quality and concision of the prose and the editorial selection of the subjects. They point to the high level of the staff that generated those orders. Those orders, more than anything else, give me greater hope and optimism that this second Trump administration will be as efficient and professional as DOGE is supposed to make the mundane machinery of government, that behind the twitter helter-skelter, daytime talkshow outrage, and click-baity podcast thumbnails, there is a focused and smooth-running government machine taking care of business.
I’m embarrassed about how much I like and trust you both. Sadly I’m no longer using critical thinking when I listen, I just take what you say at face value. ❤ former democrat, completely agree with your thoughts on where the party has gone, as a former democratic farmer/labor kid it makes me sad, but I’m having a blast watching Trump
That is really sad.... this is exactly what they want you to do...... they are delusional, and now you are too. I suggest you return to the critical thinking space, and use it on what is happening to this country. Trump's trade war is about to kill our economic growth, isolate us from the world, and will cause prices to spike. These two turn a blind eye because they have their followers and their money.
That last analysis was a real tightrope walk....., with a good portion of optimism and hopefulness in tow. May we forge ahead together, heads and hearts held high, with the future of planetary civilization as a promising horizon.
My husband saw something about renaming the Gulf to be a way to generate a loophole that would allow access for oil drilling due to restrictions on the “Gulf of Mexico”
I’m glad to see Brett and Heather finally reveal themselves as ideologues, not intellectuals
Was disappointed they didn't have the hats though.
They are definitely NOT intellects.... no one who is susceptible to conspiracy theories are intellects.

Bret sure did overreact to Whitney Webb. Was it really that hard to stay on topic? To refute basic historical facts instead of going all-in on character assassination with your first response? We can do better. She’s right. She has a point: It’s important to stay vigilant with Trump, as funding Gates isn’t that different from funding the WHO.
I agree about the over-reaction. Seemed out of character for Bret, but then I thought he over-reacted to Robert Wright as well.
she is not right... she is a proven mental patient who conjures up lies at will...
how can you trust someone who just makes stuff up?
@@sterlingveil Two prime examples - doesn't sound like it is "out of character".
Brett's reaction was out of character. I interpreted Whitney's writing as a reminder to consider what was, compare it to what is, and question it. Isn't this what a critical thinker does? I thought Brett's comment was haughty.
I missed it. Could you all give me a time stamp? I thought his speech about naming Trump Goat is premature, and doesn't mark of critical thinking at all! I like these two, but yes haughty is a good word. They are good at proclaiming that they are willing to be called out when they are wrong, but they don't do it.
Whitney Webb was ahead of Bret on covid and his treatment of her on X is shameful.
He certainly seemed unduly triggered, given that she only stated facts. People have noticed. She deserves nothing but respect for giving due diligence to her research and unbiased reporting -- unlike Weinstein.
She's STILL ahead of the pack. People are high on hopium.
Disagree
I got to following y'all during the Covid years for your great dissection of the situation and clear rational discussion of matters.
I fell off in some the intervening years, but golly am I glad I stayed subscribed. Your guys have matured quite well and your content is better than ever now.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you for calling "balls AND strikes", and doing so in an intelligent way that I can actually learn from. A great service. Much appreciated.
Extraordinary discussion. Pragmatic, thoughtful, insightful, thought provoking. Thank you.
I’m excited with the start of the Golden
age!
I am still a bit more cautious & concerned about the future of the US. But I am certainly hopeful and looking forward to what the future holds.
Same here. I keep hoping Congress will step up and assume their Constitutional responsibilities; they are the branch of government most accountable to the people. They have outsourced too much of their power to the judicial and executive branches. Hence, all of these executive orders, regardless of party.
Kennedy is the magic glue.

I watch MOST episodes, and while yes, Bret and Heather voted Trump, I’ve NEVER heard a mea culpa from them after them saying in Jan of ‘21, the best thing for the country moving forward was for Trump to be impeached so he could never hold office again. Did anyone else catch that?
Yes. I am a big fan of Brett & Heather. But I remember Bret saying he thought it was good that all the FBI, media, elites, etc closed ranks and refuted the Hunter laptop story.
I was shocked at Bret's attitude to that at the time.
t, like you would like to hear an apology for that.
@@shanemac7185 Nobody ever owes anyone an apology for their personal opinions.
wtf… throwing a rally for free speech and to endorse Trump is not enough? 🤦♀️
@@francestaylor9156perhaps you should check out ep 63 from the 6 min mark. Bret has demanded many times that he wants an apology from people who pushed the vax if they are to be forgiven. Even if they now say the opposite. So, no, it’s not enough.
And then it was kind of shoking to hear from Bret that “the *regime* addmitted it’s defeat” because there was no contestion of Trump’s victory.
Like, yeah… Undermining the legitimacy of elections was never Dem’s strategy. What are you talking about.
Sorry Heather, I live in CA and NOT one person gives a shit about the Smelt fish... We are beyond done with environmental activists.
In Cali too. Hard agree.
I don't think that's what she said or meant.
I think it's more that there are species that if you protect them you also protect the whole ecosystem, and I think most would agree is what you want to do, for our own and nature's sake too.
There is no water issue because of smelt. It is propaganda and rile up issue for maga. Just as Panama Canal, greenland, Gulf of America, a circus with Colombian deportations all designed to throw around fake machismo, display thuggery and mafia like behavior.

Damn! I’m sorry our paths didn’t cross. I have never been so cold in my life but was so happy to be there. Great atmosphere in DC.
The apologists in the these comments remind me of the old Christianity vs atheist debates, Bret should be proud with his “scientific background” to the very very disappointing level of intellect here. I could swear I’m witnessing a religion and its faithful making any and every excuse for the actions of their “leader”.
This is the most terrified as an American I have ever been for the state of our country, And this is an obvious failure of “intellectuals” like Bret who have to shut off part of their brain to appease their very biased audience which otherwise could potentially affect their stream of revenue.
Everything that made mercury bulbs a green scam, can be said for electric vehicles.
Speaking of US justice system failures, very recent and utterly shocking is a case of State vs Richard Allen in Indiana. Innocent man has been arrested, tortured in solitary cell in top security prison for 2 years awaiting trial, tried and sentenced to 130 years in prison. Judge blocked defense from presenting strong evidence pointing to other perpetrators, known to the State and corraborated by FBI investigation, to be presented at trial.

The way you descibed the MAHA Ball, I would of loved to be a fly on the wall. What a group of real super heroes
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus the Director-General of the World Health Organization since 2017, has a net worth of $155.5 BILLION DOLLARS according to the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires tracker. The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for global public health. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. It is well past time that the United States withdraw its membership from the U.N. and kick them out of United States, they could move to Geneva, Switzerland with their subsidiary, the W.H.O. The United States has contributed US$ 1.284 billion to the World Health Organization (WHO) during the 2022-2023 biennium. The U.S. government also paid more than $18 billion to the United Nations in 2022. The U.S. pays $116M each year to the WHO, or about 24% of the entire organization’s budget. Sounds like NATO which for 2024 under Biden was 15.8% (or USD$3.5 BILLION) while the most of the 23 member countries of NATO barely achieve the 2% guideline. The Trump administration has their work cut out for them.
The point about the fish and humans coming before fish is your past leftist environment activist coming out. Lol. It's not saying kill all fish with no regard.

Alaskan here. We call it Denali and will continue....I get the posturing, and appreciate the "in your eye" thing about renaming, but, yeah, it won't work up here really. Denali means "the Great One." It is.
Another Alaskan here. We learned the name of the mountain in school, and the name was Mount McKinley. We also learned that some natively oriented people called it Denali and we didn’t much care. I still don’t care. Just pick a name and stick to it so we can both understand what the hell we’re talking about.
Aesthetically, "Denali" is by far a superior name and also the most appropriate one. McKinley was a noteworthy president in surprisingly many of the ways in which Trump also aspires to be noteworthy (for better or for worse), but I doubt if there are many Americans who know anything about him. HIs VP was Teddy Roosevelt, who became president when McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist in the first year of his second term in 1901. Trump delights in tempting fate ;-).
The compromise I like would be to keep Denali the Mtn and rename the park McKinley Natl Park.
Not even a week of Trump and the world is a better place.

@johnk2347 The Biden-Harris Administration created and hired a huge number of DEI Federal Government employees. This helped substantially pad up the Biden-Harris Administration's jobs reports. It also created one of Democrats favorite things; a bigger Federal Government!
A larger Federal Government increases the cost of running the government, and keeps inflation high.
President Trump has removed DEI hires from the Federal Government, and he has also demanded employees return to work instead of letting costly run Federal buildings remain empty. His Administration has ended the practice of Federal employees working almost exclusively from home since the Pandemic. Many of them are choosing not to return, which will lower the cost of government and, thus, inflation also.
President Trump also has his team investigating the feasibility and need for careless USA tax payer paid for government spending, such as the USA sending $50,000,000 to Gaza for condoms. Again, less goverment spending lowers the cost of government and our inflation.
President Trump is actively engaged in arrangements to set up his goals to "Drill Baby Drill"! More worldwide sales and cheaper energy costs will lower the cost of everything!
The absolutely terrible Biden-Harris misadministration drove up inflation and prices to disater levels in their 4 big spending years in office.
Democrats complaining that prices havent been lowerd in only a week of President Trump being in office is solid evidence of the kind of fantasy, out of touch with reality thinking that got Democrats voted completely out of power!
President Trump has had an impressive week in begining to clean up the high prices and mess the Biden-Harris Administration left.

The change is AWESOME!
I believe the change happened with the rollout of the vaccines along with the mandates forcing people to take them. I never listened to them ( much less heard of them) before this point. They did a deep dive into both of those things and then began un peeling the onion on government corruption. Now they address news headlines debunking the current narratives. This is by no means a comprehensive description for “what changed?” For instance, both Brett and Eric have a solid friendship with Joe Rogan which no doubt helped change their world view and vice versa!

I hope you and Whitney Webb can hash things out. You're both very important
Bret should apologize. Ms. Webb was on point.

Re: Gulf of America. Oh, dear, you took the bait. This is an inconsequential EO among all the hundreds, designed to get people wasting time talking about it.
To Heather's point on the death penalty, I'm not sure I understand the comparison that it's better for a guilty person to live a life in prison than for an innocent person to be killed by the state, because one can also argue that it's better for a guilty person to be killed by the state than for an innocent person to live their entire life in prison. Either way, the innocent person is screwed. If it was me wrongly accused I'd rather be executed than live my life in prison, separated from my loved ones with no possibility of parole, for a crime I didn't commit. Where's the QoL in that situation? How would my loved ones get closure and move on knowing I'm in prison suffering all my life for no wrongdoing of my own? At least if I died they could move on at some point knowing I'm no longer suffering. American prison is hell on earth, not a staycay. I'm honestly not sure which penalty is stricter and more harsh, life in prison or capital punishment, but to me life in prison is vastly sustained suffering while execution is brief suffering and by comparison mercy. I think you will find many people disagree on the matter. Some people can handle prison life. Others cannot. We don't hear about them.
My solution would be to give the guilty party the option to choose between execution and life in prison for offenses in which the penalty is that severe. I guarantee you many would choose death. History tells us so. Then the wrongfully convicted still have some control over their own path too, whether they want to stay alive in prison with possibly some hope of acquittal, or whether they find that life insufferable and are at peace with greeting death. Imagine living a life in prison with some glimmer of hope you'll one day be found innocent, for decades, for your entire life, and the day never comes, and you die in prison anyways. Was that not another, more torturous form of death penalty?
I hope the animal recently sentenced to 51 years in the UK serves every day of his sentence.
I agree in general, but allowing people to choose to die (assisted suicide) also has some negative consequences. For me, the fundamental premise is: our justice system isn't supposed to make mistakes in the direction of punishing the innocent, and the price for that is allowing some of the guilty to avoid punishment. That is the design, and that premise is the basis for all forms of punishment. Is it actually true? No. But we must presume it's true to impose any sort of punishment. The death penalty is no different in this regard, because if you say that we can't impose it because the "found guilty" might actually be innocent, they same argument applies to every other punishment.
For me, the only reason to use capital punishment is to grant some feeling of revenge to the victims (or their families). They like to use the word "justice", but what they mean is really "revenge". And I can understand how that can help people move on after certain tragedies. It's no different than stories where a father kills the abuser of his daughter - most people understand why he did it, and many would support him. The State replaces the father for many.
So long as you're alive, you can challenge the system which screwed up. No decision by the government should be so permeant that the next, or even current, generation can't stop and change course.
I have a little different view. Because I can compare it to living in a nurcing home. Where your children put you. I felt I had no choice at the time and thought it was my only option. Now ,, three years later. I hate my life and realize I could have chosen a different option if I had not been under derress. But too late. I think although I still have little hope. Of course money is an issue. But I could have lived in an apt and paid for home care occasionally. I hate living in my bedroom. Cannot eat what and when I want. Too much control. Sick people all around me. My like as I knew it is gone and I did nothing wrong nor committed a crime. So different kinds of prisons. This may not relate to the subject exactly, but just felt like venting. Feels like prison to me🥲😢🙏
@@margaretvey8330 That is awful. Did they take all your money upon entry to the nursing home? They do that in my country which leaves people with few options. I will pray for you, maybe your children will wake up to themselves.
Bret needs to apologize to Whitney Webb. She was 100% right on her perspective of the withdrawal from the WHO
he showed his real self
After your recent unhinged rant against Whitney Webb I am leaving your channel after 5 years of support. YOU ARE BEHAVING LIKE THE LEFTIST CULT WE HAVE BATTLED FOR A DECADE!
Regarding 'The Great One', which I finally got to see last year with my own 2 eyes, I would prefer to keep the name Denali for the mountain and rename the park to MnKinley Natl Park. It would be a great compromise.
Control of healthcare should not be held or influenced by the private sector. Insurance itself is fatally conflicted.
Dude. The problem is evil people. Doesn't matter if healthcare is private or not.
There are going to be more luigis if we don't have a public medicare. Obama was right about this
Actually it in no way shape or form should be in the hands of the govt. It was fine before Nixon signed the HMO act which allowed for "managed care" to grow and take over the industry.
Oh, so now the leave it up to the free market crowd is advocating for SOCIALIST POLICIES?
So, H&B, if one could guarantee that a given person slated to being put to death by the state was absolutely guilty, no doubt about it, you would be alright with their execution? For me, the possibility of innocence is not the reason for opposing the death penalty (at least, it is not the primary reason). The reason is that it is wrong, period. Vengeance is defeatist and childish, and execution is a tantrum being thrown by the state.
It may be naive and childish of me to also say that putting someone to death implies that the person could never ever possibly do any single bit of good ever. To me, that is a terrifying abyss to look into: However unlikely, something that person says or does in the ensuing years of their incarceration could conceivably save a life, or improve a life, or maybe even prevent someone else from committing a crime. This is what I mean by "defeatist".
I'm not sure I articulated this the way I might like, but I felt compelled to chime in, especially since I so rarely disagree with the two of you.
And BTW, #DarkHorseWorldsMostImportantPodcast
Is anyone else astonished at Heather's incorrect reading of the DOGE thing? The termination of the temporary part "shall not be interpreted to imply the termination" etc., of the DOGE itself. Admittedly that is a bit obscure, but it leaves the thing open-ended, obviously at Trumps discretion. Note also that Musk is directed not to report to Trump, but to Chief of Staff Susan Wiles-- who has flatly denied Musk an office in the White House. The palace intrigue commences.
It's sad to watch them perform the gymnastics
Relatively large segments of (mostly) downtown Washington, DC get blocked off regularly!
They do that for all kinds of reasons & events. There aren't always quite as many LEOs, but it can be such an inconvenience and frustration. It is particularly bad when there's a parade, a march or a marathon; it's not uncommon for an entire area to have no way OUT! Or for there to be no way to reach certain parts of the city without perhaps going to Maryland to get to Virginia, and back into DC (easily a 20-30 mile journey) to get somewhere that's less than a mile away!
And then there are the motorcades for the POTUS or foreign dignitaries/heads of state. First a surprising number of police on motorcycles force all traffic to stop & move to the side of the street with an officer stopped about every 50 feet (at most). They "secure" the route quite a long distance ahead of the motorcade, so even though those vehicles come flying through at about twice the speed limit, there's usually a 10-15 minutes wait for them to come through (sometimes longer). And they keep the traffic stopped for another 5 minutes after the procession has passed.
I would have loved to attend the MAHA activities. Glad that you were there!
Had to give ya a thumbs up during the grilling/“Oh, geez.” discussion. 😂
Bret tip toeing into the realm of Norm Macdonald with that sponsor read😂
LED lighting is just as bad as the compact fluorescents. They don’t render color correctly and the electronics inside are unnecessary and lead to premature failure. Time will tell.
Thanks for sharing the EO overview. Enjoyed the chance to delve into some of these for a clearer view. Amazing how the new team is working. Bret you mentioned Panama and I saw your trip episode. If you want to know more about what the Chinese are doing there you should watch the latest epi of What is Going On With Shipping. The Panama episode. Sal is our true expert in this. Thanks for another great video!
I enjoyed the conversation and discussion, as always.
Sorry, I feel lost here. Are you not concerned about Trump’s apparent re-launch of MRNA under Stargate?
Also, thanks for saving me some time. Until someone addresses this I'm considering the whole MAHA crowd koolaid-drinkers.
Exactly. Brett is a limited hangout. I say this as a follower of his work for years. Same as Taibbi, Greenwald, et all. They're all paid under table.
@@sisterseeth When has he ever said mRNA tech was good? He's only spoken out against it.
@@sisterseethB&H have been largely responsible for several elite driven initiatives failing at this point.
Brett is one of the few who had gone in depth point out that the entire mRNA delivery platform is inherently dangerous. Not just the jabs and their specific composition and use of the tech.
WTF are you talking about?
I think it depends on how mRNA is used. The issue with mRNA wasn’t the tech but that it was not refined and then FORCED on the public. The latter being the greatest issue.
You’ve noted “A” reason why SOME people are against the death penalty. I’ve spent time with lawyers who specialize in the death penalty and they have different reasons for their opposition. I am not morally opposed but am grateful there are so many dedicated lawyers forcing the government to prove their case.
tried to explain to someone recently, 'sure all politicians ARE cannibals, but a rich one isn't hungry.'
1:00:04 " Naivite that borders on the pathological...". I think this is similar to Gad Saad's idea of suicidal empathy.
I so appreciate your rational approach to this analysis.

Listen to his speech at the WEF. This is whats going on behind the ex. order show
Did Trump go to the WEF?
@@grannyannie2948 Via telecast. Excellent speech plus questions & answers
@@grannyannie2948 Trump did a video call into the WEF today, and proceeded to talk bad about their green agenda (among other things) to their faces. I saw it on Right Side Broadcasting Network as a livestream sandwiched between commentary. I think it lasted about a half hour, first him giving an address then with some questions posed to him by CEOs there in an on-stage panel.

@@grannyannie2948 yes
Thank you for reminding me why I love you guys!
The Gulf of America naming, is, IMO, a muscle flex by Trump against Mexico. Yes, they are a huge trading partner, but it has also allowed MILLIONS of people to trek through their country, at the enrichment of the cartels and NGOs. Mexico is at a distinct disadvantage and Trump wants to let them know that there's a new sheriff in town. Could be wrong and there might be another angle this that we don't yet know.
Heather: What does the G stand for, then?
Bret: Gangsta
(Pause. Both giggle)
Bret: I mean, it does. Ask the kids. 😆
Can we get some dung beetle merch? Caps, decals, water bottles, key chains, etc.

Snow boots and parkas at coat check are pretty normal in Prince George BC in the winter.

When I lived in Alaska, I was taught that Denali is what the Natives called God. Because that mountain was the largest in Alaska, it was associated with God.
This was a great breakdown. Thank you. Stay warm you two.
Trump deserves spectacular wealth. He’s earned it. Just by what he has had to endure,. I do not begrudge him one thin dime.
I she would interrupt Brett a A LOT LESS
Yes! First time I heard about renaming the gulf, my first thought was that it should be renamed Gulf of the Americas. Glad someone else had this same thought.

Should join MAGA and MAHA into MAGAHA. Make America Great And Healthy Again.
Or MAHAGA. And accidentally start saying mahogany.
By now I love you both so much! You two (and only a few others)are the ones I trust most to give me information and the lessons to learn how to weight them in the right way. So when Trump ore others in his administration is going the wrong way, I am sure you wil inform us. This gives me a sence of belonging in this world that I lost during covid! Thank you from the bottom of my hart!

For cold weather black tie options, please consider: black overcoats, white silk scarves, white or black lamb nappa gloves, and also for the men, balmoral boots instead of the regular oxfords.I couldn't tell about women's shoe options, seems pretty problematic... I'll think about that for a while.
