The Case for Trump: The 249th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

In this 249th in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.

In this week’s episode, we discuss the upcoming election, and how important it is to vote. The Democratic Party has created a two-tiered system in the Courts and in federal agencies; they have inverted basic values, including equal protection under the law, the role of families, informed consent, individual sovereignty, and our Constitution; and they have replaced truth-seeking with activism. From wars to the economy to the southern border, there is ample evidence of what the two teams actually stand for. Also: the first case report of trans-myocarditis. Then: “The Science” is still not science: federally funded research on the effects of puberty blockers on children isn’t published, because the researchers don’t like the results they got.

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying discuss censorship and the war in Iran:

We have "cartesian blinders being put on us so that we are trying to make sense out of scraps of information and hints." - @bretweinstein

00:02:06
Who exactly belongs in the Stone Ages?

WEINSTEIN: I mean, even if you have your villains who are engaged in the behavior that motivated this war in Iran, even if that's the story, presumably most of the people in the path of these ferocious bombings that he is describing are not deserving of going back to the Stone Age.

In fact, I distinctly remember him telling us that part of what we were up to was liberating the people of Iran from their tyrannical regime.

So if it's the tyrannical regime that justifies the ferocious bombing, then it's a tragedy that other people are going to be sent back to the Stone Ages with them. Right?

HEYING: It's it's not a narrative. It's an incoherent set of talking points.

WEINSTEIN: Yeah, it's a kind of cheerleading that is completely inappropriate from the perspective of the president.

Bret Weinstein discusses the Trump administrations "back to the stone age" recent remarks in the latest episode of The Evolutionary Lens, Episode 320 "Are we back in the stone age?" on DarkHorse.

Washington's 9.9% "Millionaires Tax" Isn't That Simple

Bret Weinstein explains, "If you stop businesses from starting here, and if you drive people so that they move elsewhere—even though it's difficult to do—then the point is the tax base dries up, which then forces you to become even more predatory for the people who stayed.

And that's really the thing, right? They're setting themselves up so that they have to go after more and more people, because the people who are starting new businesses are not going to do it here."

Tomorrow on DarkHorse Podcast

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying will go live for Episode 346 of The Evolutionary Lens to discuss the Cornell sexual assault case.

Streaming on X, Youtube, and Rumble. Join the Watch Party here on Locals for the only place to chat while they're live at 11:30am PT.

The battle between David and Goliath was brought up by Jeffrey as the metaphor that we health-aligned folks believed in regarding RFKj's and ilk's appointments to government. They were supposed to be the rock that David, our champions, took Goliath down with. Jeffrey laments that we underestimated Goliath by a long shot.

The subsequent events to the slaying of Goliath in the bible story might be telling. What happened next, as near as I can recall, was that David's pals, feeling really tough all of a sudden and seeing the dismay and enervation of Goliath's gang of thugs (army), set upon them with great gusto and annihilated them or drove them off.

David's pals didn't say "oh- hey that's great, the big guy's dead, the future is bright" and then just go back to their tents. They said to one another something more like, "Hey, the big bugger's down! Let's get 'em while there's still tears in their eyes!"

Blessings be upon the ones of us who are acting on that observation, like Bret and ...

Question for next Q&A second attempt

With Joel Bret said he believes there is value in the old biblical stories and that there needs to be work done on how they are told modernly. Im glad you updated your belief as you told me otherwise in a previous Q&A (tower of babel) If race realism is false, one explaination of differences is the myths we pass down. To test this we would assume to see the greatest expression of a trait in outlier males (greater male variablility) and we would want a group that has had long history. Jews wrote their cultural cornerstone during the babylonian exile 5th century bc and racists want everyone to know about 109 other instances of reinforcement. A whole belief and cultural system that revolves around being forced away from home and becoming sojourners. To what degree do you think this affects jewish behavior? Jewish outlier behavior reminds me of foster children, testing boundaries. Jewish outlier men seem to possess the disposition to become ...
