I am a 76 year old former Democrat from Massachusetts. I would NEVER vote for Kamala. I also thought I would never vote for Trump. I had endorsed and donated to the RFK Jr. campaign several times. Now that I have gone down the rabbit hole and now that I am aware that the mainstream media cannot be trusted, I have given my vote to Trump. Unfortunately, I cannot let my die-hard Democratic friends know how I feel about this because they will never speak to me again. It is such a sad time that we are living in to say the least! I watch The Dark Horse Podcast every week and I want to thank Bret and Heather for all their hard work. I have been getting the best advanced education from watching their podcast for several years now. PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR DILIGENT WORK!
@gclepine I live in Portland Oregon and I have had the same experience. Politics over reason... Association with a political group that becomes your identity... I lost friends for challenging group identity in favor of Know Thy Self. If it wasn't for RFK Jr, Dr. JP, Bret and this Unity movement I wouldn't have considered Trump. I hope having the support, vision and strength of people I admire brings life back into a saner, stronger, healthier country that I want to safeguard for my children.
@@cindyspiess9963 The best way to be sure is to buy in-season domestic and directly from a farmer or market you trust. I'm sure there are some small certificates that guarantee testing, but packing houses are notorious cheats. Something that spoils fast might be field packed and sold faster than a test can be done. Some produce is more important to find organic than others. Apples, potatoes and grains for example. Some conventional produce is as good as organic, like avocado, I have a block of persimmons and they don't have pests so they don't get sprayed at all. You can easily grow greens yourself in a container. The worst part is that some imports are labeled organic but are using USA banned chemicals because they are unregulated in other countries. The "Apeal" loophole is really scary too. I wouldn't stress too much if you are doing your best. Most important is to stay away from out of season, processed and pre packaged foods as much as possible.
@@cindyspiess9963Not dependably, no. Your best bet is to find a local organic farmer you can trust and/or build relationships with neighbors in a community gardening effort if possible. Other than that, look up the list they call the 'dirty dozen' when it comes to fruits and vegetables, and definitely buy organic for those at least. It is getting harder and harder to try not to eat poison these days, it is very frustrating and sad. Do your best to buy local. The less a product travels, the better chance you may have of preservative type chemicals, like 'apeel' not being used. And you'll get fresher too, because so much is picked before it is ripe and this affects the flavor of course, but also the nutritional value.
@cindyspiess9963 if domesticated your food from the wild and grew your own crop from that. There is still a chance it's Monsanto. There's never a way to be fully sure.
Bret's nickname should be "Batman." 1) Bret's background studying bats 2) Both fight for truth and justice using science and intellect 3) Both are patriots 4) Same initials (Bruce Wayne, Bret Weinstein) Two lines from Batman: "It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you." (Batman Begins) "A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended."

Maybe Trump can give more gigantic tax breaks to corporations and billionaires instead because they really need those (poor babies). And he can levy tariffs on all imports to jack up the prices for working people and explode inflation and force a bunch of people into poverty.
While I don't agree with everything you two say, you both complement each other so well - just on an almost instinctual level - it's inspiring to watch as a young man looking for a deep relationship with someone. Thank you.

Yep. Voting day should be a national holiday. It should fall on a Friday. Use the weekend to confirm results and private businesses use the attention to throw democratically themed events. Would be so fun! Then come Monday evening the announcement comes and we spend all week discussing then move on.
Similar to heat death of the cosmos. By enforcing the leveling it’s like a loss of polarity no attraction for energy to transmit. You eliminate inequality you starve from loss of conductivity
Yeah but just don't get too entrenched in the dumb tribalism of "the right was always correct in every way, and has never been wrong and every single thing the left has ever claimed has always been wrong & immoral" Remember that in the 90s the religious right were ones instigating the moral panic of "we must ban computer games!" "GTA IV causes violence and it is possible to virtually r@pe someone. And that causes real life r@pe" And they succeeded in banning it in Australia. Or the 80s when the right wing was claiming dungeons & dragons encourages & draws kids into the occult and turns kids into Satanists." Both the left & right have had extremist views and totally ret@rded ideas.....it's just that the left has had cultural dominance for too long and never gatekeeps their extremists from the mainstream.
If you can pay your taxes online you can vote online. Maybe voting season should be during tax season so taxes are fresh on everyone's mind when they cast their ballots.
Yeahhhh, this "voting season" / "voting-month" is total BULLSHIT!... obviously its been arranged this way for ONE reason only--- *(and it ain't to make sure it's 'easy' for people in wheelchairs to be able to vote---). We need to get that ended, if we're ever gonna have a chance.
The “crossing of the aisle” of several prominent or formerly prominent people from both sides to the other is the strongest indication to date of the shifting nature of western politics. It is not a trad right v left , Cons vs Libs, etc. ideological dynamic and split any longer. Politicians seem to be completely missing this transition to “centrally managed vs local” , a few big entities va many small ones, domestic focus vs foreign, corporate and collective focus vs individual
Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris is certainly a strong indicator that the major faultlines of political competition have shifted from where they were two decades ago... to say nothing of RFK's son endorsing the Republican nominee.
Youth and the new demands of the future will naturally alter the Parties. The Left has become more and cult- like and more and more totalitarian. That is demonstrated in many ways, but the mob actions of the young Ivy League Leftists joining with Hamas supportering mobs in Antisemitic attacks across the nation this year makes their extreme transition painfully clear. This is not the tolerant Democrat Party of the past. On the other hand, the Republican Party has come to represent the open minded, live and let live values of Classical Liberals. Nothing stays the same. Republicans moved more Left, but Democrats moved off the planet.
And a feature not a bug Their political idealism is exactly diabolical both in the mythic sense and etymology from “take apart” So it’s an attempt at controlled demolition more than a decline
Except for the thousands who needed it had listened and understood and changed their minds, as someone in nearly every comment section of theirs will attest
Just to clarify about Nate Silver: He is NOT a pollster. He does NOT conduct any polling. He is an aggregator. He takes the polls conducted by others and puts them together using a weighted average (his own formula assigns the weights).
He's also a right-wing crank that consistently promotes conservative agendas and polls and has been wildly inaccurate even days before elections over the last 5+ years.
First I’d like to say that I have been enjoying Bret’s podcasts and interviews since he left Evergreen State College. About an hour and 10 minutes in he was speaking about the difference between conservatives and liberals. However, he wasn’t really describing conservatives. He was describing libertarians. The values of conservatism are derived from Judeo Christian values. These values dictate how we are to treat each other. The “floor” does not need to be dictated by government because the poor and needy, orphans and widows should be taken care of in the communities in which they reside in a conservative society. Our forefathers knew that with freedom came responsibility. That responsibility includes how we treat our fellow men.
Bret and Heather: Are you aware of Viva Barnes? Robert Barnes is currently engaged in a legal battle between Pennsylvania and an Amish farmer who was selling unadulterated foods.
When it’s not illegal anywhere it’s not bad. When it’s not illegal in one state that state becomes a hub for crime in the surrounding states. Legal shops bring in massive amounts of interstate trafficking for good deals. Taxes steal too much to make anything make sense until you look at interstate traffickers buying legal stuff to sell illegally elsewhere. A cart for $20 2 gram cart sells for $70 elsewhere and people move thousands at a time. Legal weed imports crime because we tax it. If it was legal everywhere with no taxes at the same time it would not import crime. We are legalizing it wrong.
When it is legal it is ( mostly ) run by companies driven by profit for their shareholders and to do this they need to maximise their customer numbers and sales. So leads to more drugs in society. Anyone think that's a good thing?
I am a marijuana user in WA and I voted against the legislation. I tried to convince all my buddies but they just wanted cheaper pot. The legalization should have allowed the common person to grow a couple of plants on their property without any government intrusion (like a tomato plant). Then if you want to sell or distribute you get regulations. But if for personal use it should not be governed.
@@kevinpankanin6222 In NZ the government had a referendum on legalisation. The country voted no. Had the question been decriminalisation the answer would have been yes.
Agreed fully - LOVE Brett and Heather, and don't expect them to have a conservative view of this, but describing earnings gleaned from investment as rent-seeking and wealth-siphoning without adding value betrays a misunderstanding of what investment is and does. The investor is bearing risk by trading existing earned value based on calculated risk for the expectation of a future return (i.e., more value back than he risked in the investment). Investment infuses value back into the market, and in the unhampered market investments are made based on market signals that there is a reasonable expectation of a return rather than a loss. The return is the compensation for the value of bearing the risk of funding an enterprise through investment. Profit off wise investment is no different than profit off wise innovation. Now, where I do agree with Brett and Heather, is that many (at least, possibly/likely all) of the "great fortunes" (including Elon Musk's, for all that I do like about him - how much of Tesla's success rides on the back of EV subsidies (tax money)? SpaceX on NASA/DOD subcontracting (tax money)? I'm making an assumption, of course) of the modern era have been the result of rent-seeking behavior. Not in the sense of gaining a return on investing into their own or other enterprises, but in the form of leveraging government interventions to the benefit of their business. There's where the rent seeking lives, not in the investment concept. Genuine question, what does equally distributing opportunity look like, practically speaking? Seems to me that the examples given require redistributing income top-down. I agree that we don't want innocents falling through the cracks; but I think that the problem needs to be, and can be, solved, or at least alleviated, from the ground up.
Lifelong Republican (68 yo) Here is our unity prayer: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I would consider it an honor and a duty for the GOP to shelter & restore American unity. I hope & pray that Trump wins, that his successes do advance unity. Let us be America, delivering prosperity, good cheer, comfort and innovations to the world. That's the go-to for which I'm voting. I won't compromise on my principles: 1. America first, then help others. 2. All power resides in the citizen. Government only by consent of the governed. Constitutionally limited government. All individual freedoms are protected-- economic, speech, religion, arms. 3. Individual accountability and equal treatment under the law. To conduct myself with tolerance, patience & respect for others, especially my fellow citizens. Mankind's greatest days are ahead. The world is counting on us-- let's get together and make it happen!
So if these are your principles, how do you feel about DJT putting the interests of russians & voladya first by sending valuable testing equipment during the pandemic and sharing US secrets with them while standing in the oval office? How do you feel about him stealing top secret intel, lying about it, sharing it will unauthorized individuals? How do you feel about his statements that he will use the US military to go after those that don't vote for him? How do you feel about him using the DOJ to go after political enemies and directing the IRS to audit them? How do you feel about him threatening to shut down media outlets for negative stories about him? How do you feel about him pardoning dozens of his own co-conspirators while he was in office? How do you feel about a POTUS that says he is above the law and cannot be prosecuted for anything he does, ever?
CORRECTION!!! 10:16 "All honey is good for you" >>>> "All _natural_ honey is good for you." (since there are too many counterfeit honeys made mostly of high fructose corn syrup!)
1:20:12 You give them too much credit. Many of these pollsters know what they're doing, but their objective is not to make accurate predictions. Their objective is to alter the future by putting out polls. They do this directly by influencing turnout and sentiment (push polls) and indirectly by helping campaigns lead donors by the nose.
They should make a federal law to make it madatory to get all farming in US organic and ban certain chemicals in food in this country.That would get us starting in the right direction.
Either way that's more laws and less freedom.. as the government they need to release control not get more.. tou can make incentives and people can chose.. but have more laws that make people do things is less and less freedom... "let's make people do stuff because we want things "better". Don't you think Hitler sold what he wanted as good... let's ban Guns to save the babies... we get more money from the government the more kids we have in public school let's go after the parents that take there kids out of school... more force=less good... the village will correct its self...
That sense you have of feeling much more disconnected with your community because of the early and extended voting process.. that's a feature, not a bug.
You realize that historically political parties have worked hard to make it extremely difficult for certain voting groups to vote in person on election day by limiting the number of sites and restricting voting hours. Can you guess which one?
@@kcolonelx6181 yes lol. i can. and thank god for them. im no republican but us americans thank them for at least trying to make it much more difficult for certain voting groups like illegal immigrants to vote! true patriots, really. secure elections are VITAL and in order to secure the elections , you should have to verify who you are in order to vote. strangely only one party is and has been making it more difficult to identify who is actually voting... curious, no?
@@kcolonelx6181It was the Democrat Party that used unfair literacy tests and KKK terrorist intimidation to block and discourage Black voting! Look it up! Democrats created and ran the KKK as the military wing of their Party to control Black's after the Civil War. Federal Troops were initially in the south during 12 years of Reconstruction to assure and enforce the rights of Blacks to vote. These new laws were promised by Linclon and passed by REPUBLICANS in Congress in the Republican written and introduced 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments! They were made law on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865. However, when Federal troops Left after Reconstruction, Democrats began voting the Republicans that upheld the laws out of office. They replaced Republicans with Democrats. The Democrat created and controlled KKK threated and intimidated Blacks to keep them from voting in significant numbers. These Democrats in office also created unfair literacy tests and other laws that discouraged and limited Blacks from voting in number or obtaining political office. Educate yourself on the truth and look up, BRIA 12 2 b Race and Voting in the Segregated South, on the internet, and learn how Republicans and Linclon's Federal Troops inforced the rights for Blacks to vote. The result was that Blacks were voted into office and served in Washington in Congress. That changed when Federal Troops withdrew after Reconstruction 12 years later. Then the Democrats voted themselves back into power and quickly went back to their old racist tricks! Now they hate Whites, Jewish people and Christians. They were never the Party their propagandists presented them as!
@@RuminationWithAndrewDitto! And, TBH, I usually prefer listening solely to Bret. Heather has some good points, from time-to-time, but usually too emotional, distracting, and controlling

You could explain the distinction between positive and negative feedback systems in terms of stability. A system that exhibits positive feedback will go out of control when perturbed. A system that exhibits negative feedback will attempt to go back to equilibrium when perturbed.
If someone's own "floor" or "depths of despair" isn't triggered by their own hunger or even the needs of their offspring, then a contrived "bottom" certainly won't motivate them to start climbing up. Not everyone is wired to excel or even unenthusiastically strive. There's an inversely flawed assumption that struggling people CAN'T climb their way up without intervention - it's just that this second example adds biggoted perspective in addition to not understanding human behavior.
I voted today. There were 2 people ahead of me and we all got processed and were voting in no time. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. I LOVE early voting.
@cdcaleo I am genuinely curious what reasoning you're using here because it doesn't fit at all with my understanding. Why on earth would a ballot placed into the box on one day be more or less likely to count than on another day?

Breaking Points has done several segments addressing the use of software to "optimize" rent prices. It ends up being something like distributed collusion. Sounds weird, but it's the result of subscription services to a limited set of such software providers.
I live in Oregon where you can vote by mail, or you can walk to the library on voting day and place the ballot in the locked box. It works great. 👍 Also, if you want to mail your ballot, you have to mail it in advance. So yes, you DO find out on election night.
I kind of think - even tho in point of fact it’s true - that we need to stop referring to the Trump coalition as Republicans. Many of us have a knee jerk reaction to that word that’s not positive. “Trump Republicans” are a different animal - and not even really supported by the rest of that party. Maybe we need to just call them the “Trump/Kennedy coalition!? :). Just a thought!
Opportunity for personal growth and deprograming. Train your reaction to seeing republicans as fellows and friends-in-waiting rather than having an ideological reaction to a concept of them. Most republicans are basic-bitch like how most democrats are basic-bitch. Having a knee-jerk reaction to the name of a political party is a point of weakness worth tending to.
What Bret says he wants for people, the ability to succeed at what they do best and find a niche is what people like Bill gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and others have done yet the liberals criticize them and want to strip them of their wealth. What Bret wants is exactly what this country is so good at providing.
These individuals systematically worked to create monopolies to benefit themselves only and have in anti free market activities that have done nothing but hurt consumers. Oh, and none of them have even remotely paid their fair share of taxes which means you have to fill the gap.
@@kcolonelx6181 - Get you head out of the sand and learn what is going on in the world. Since Its IPO, Microsoft Has Created 8 Billionaires and an Estimated 12,000 Millionaire Employees. By 2021, 60,000 sellers had achieved over $1 million in sales in Amazon's marketplaces worldwide. Tesla's rocketing share price this year has created an army of millionaires - self-named 'Teslanaires'. There is nothing monopolistic about any of these companies. Who gets to decide what is a "fair share" of taxes to be paid. The IRS and the tax code.
Ok, guys, you have caused me to lose my appetite. I know you are absolutely right about these things you mention (shrimps bred in their own excrement, cows fed other cows, etc) but a question remains: what can we do as independent, autonomous, singular consumers living in big cities and urban areas far from "nature"? Uhhggrrrr... it is enough to make one lose his own composure.
Just a thought: is the $20,000 'Business Loan' really what it claims to be? Could it instead be covert 'Reparations'? Hand out 20K (with zero regard to suitability or likelihood of repayment) buy ONLY to the particular demographic demanding 'Reparations'. Then just print the money.
56:25 This is not support of rent control, but a lot of apartment complexes and even larger property management companies are doing algorithmic pricing where the price changes every day and the price of each unit depends on what floor it's on, is it on the courtyard side or the parking lot side, is it on the end, etc. Essentially, many market players have farmed out their pricing to one company that's running an algorithm.
The Biden DOJ recently brought suit against a tech company for providing software they knew was being utilized by users to engage in price fixing in rental markets and withholding inventory to boost prices.
The quality of a space has always been how places are priced. Prices going up or down more frequently based off that day's market is annoying, but it's not an argument for price controls. Your info is great. I'm not sure how someone could read what you wrote and think it's a defense of rent control 🤷♀️
I'm Australian and I've never lived in an apartment, though I holiday in them. It makes total sense to me that a flat with beautiful sea views is more valuable than the view of a carpark. And I will pay more for a low floor, not many stairs, not needing to wait for lifts and easier to exit in a fire or other emergency. We have similar issues with housing affordability, and far left politicians do blame landlords. But it's obvious that the problem is immigration. In the 1970s housing was cheap and plentiful. The last time birthrates were at replacement level ( average 2.1 children per woman) was 1976. Today birthrates are about 1.63. If it were not for immigration we would still have plenty of affordable housing without building a single house.

The marijuana one is just perfect example of an equity based race to the bottom. Reduce penalties or eliminate them ? OK. But to Legalize ( from which will stem all manner of normalization and propagation ) smoking pot is just dumb and societally damaging. The experiment has already been run in many countries and the results, despite wildly exaggerated positive tales out of Portugal, have not been good.
I'm from the Netherlands and our teenagers have the lowest percentage of pot-smokers among western european nations. Majority of pot is smoked by tourists anyway. Portugal legalized posession (and use) of hard drugs and the results are negative - increased both addiction levels and criminal activity (bigger market). They're going San Francisco way,when (if?) numbers of addicts owerwhelm their health system capacity which is already at the saturation point. Dealing with addicts is very labour intensive and very expensive policy but California alone has bigger budget for this issue than all european countries combined but very poor public health policies. Generaly pot legalisation is bad idea,it creates more problems than it solves - we are quite conservative society despite completely opposite public image and drugs never "took off" as in other parts of the world. Alcohol is by far our biggest problem as in most other countries,it's bigger than all other drugs combined.
@ms-jl6dl correct. The Dutch don’t penalize anyone for it and allow it in the Amsterdam red light districts but …. Culturally and educationally you don’t condone it and in fact teach your youth to avoid it. The reality of our zoomer youth here in Canada where it’s now legal is similar. Zoomers partake less in all the vices than their predecessors. Not sure why that’s the case but those are the stats. But among the rest of the demographics, the result of legalization is not good.

Did you know that congress has passed laws for centuries specifically related to Native American rights, blacks, women, members of the military, people with disabilities and other minorities. Did you know that the tax code is an entire set of laws that treats people differently based on their income levels? It is naive to think that just because certain initiatives might seek to benefit/advantage one group or another with incentives that it must be therefor considered unconstitutional.

What about people that will be working out of state or overseas on Nov. 5th? What about people who are physically unable to vote in person? Military personnel stationed abroad? Sorry but early voting is just a necessary option for the lives we lead today. Not everyone leads such an entitled life that they can chose to be in a certain place and time to vote. I agree we probably need to find a better and faster system, but saying people can't vote because they won't be in a certain physical place at a certain time is insane.
It's not part of the Republican platform or Trump's platform, so it's not a thing, no. Political organizations sending out their proposals is not the same as a candidate presenting their proposals. Trump has mocked project 2025 and has major democrats in his transition team. Every political organization makes policy proposals. Every Democrat political organization makes policy proposals. Getting people upset about 2025 was basic fear mongering and should have been dropped after the second and third time Trump said it was dumb and extreme. I'm down for two liberals to slowly explain why they think a conservative policy proposal on the level of the terminally online isn't well suited for the values of liberals, but it's slow-news-day type stuff because it's irrelevant to the race.

I have a tendency to agree as I've watched what appears to be collusion in rent prices locally since a certain entity bought interest here. Immediately, they started raising rent to 'market value' - somewhere, not here. Very quickly, others raised rent and housing prices increased.. doubling and then some.
A note on this term "rent-seeking". It is almost always, (99%) a term that applies to what the state does or what the state enables. This is not a term that has to do with free markets. Taxes are almost always this, but when you have an exchange of value, which is the case 99% of the time in free markets, you can't have rent-seeking.
Rent seeking is also enabled by market capture. Centralization and cooperation are mechanisms that may lead to de facto market capture. I think a state fills a necessary function in keeping an even playing field, when it works properly.
@@konberner170 Rent seeking is a term related to economic systems and relates to profits received for providing goods and services within that framework. Taxes are the dues paid to governments (generally) to pay for goods and services not provided by the individual or private sector but collectively paid for and provided by the public sector for the benefit of the society. How'd I do? It's been so long since I had a pop quiz.
1:47:34 I just looked up "Feeding Yellow 5 to chickens for yellow yolk" through Brave browser and the web AI assistant quotes this immediately before any web page links... "Yellow 5 is a synthetic food dye commonly used in human food products, not intended for animal consumption." Then in BOLD "It is not safe or recommended to feed Yellow 5 to chickens, or any other animals." I ask, but it's safe for human consumption?!?! We really live in the upside down. What the hell is wrong with our government agencies? You would think they want a healthy population to be able to defend the Country, or serve the Country in other beneficial ways. As far as I see it, were just a cash cow for all of them. I cannot believe all these chemicals have been banned in Europe and Canada, yet the agencies that are "supposed" to be protecting us allow it to happen. It's a sickness, and the sickness is deep. I'm glad this is becoming part of the national conversation as of late!
Look into the "nanoparticles" that are being added to foods. Being passed as GRAS, but are much smaller particles that will interact with our system in ways we cannot predict. Titanium dioxide is one used to whiten certain foods

Thomas Sowell has discussed the unintended consequences of policies aimed at hiding or withholding criminal records of job applicants, including African Americans, in his works. While he is critical of racial disparities and supports equality of opportunity, he argues that such policies can backfire in ways that harm the very groups they are intended to help. Sowell's primary concern is that **employers, in the absence of information about an applicant’s criminal record**, may resort to other forms of broad assumptions or profiling. If employers know they can't access criminal records but suspect that individuals from certain demographic groups (such as young Black men) have higher crime rates, they may avoid hiring people from those groups altogether. This can lead to more **discrimination by proxy**-not because of actual criminal records, but because employers feel they're being deprived of important information and make generalizations based on race or gender instead. In essence, Sowell argues that **withholding relevant information** about criminal records can create mistrust and reduce employment opportunities for law-abiding individuals within those groups. He advocates for transparency and open competition where individuals can succeed based on merit rather than hidden factors or policies that may worsen stereotyping.
@@kcolonelx6181 I wouldn’t say that “they are all the same,” no, what I WOULD say however, is that they all work for the same masters, which does not include us, the people. After 75 years of careful thought and deliberation I have come to the conclusion that ALL government is a criminal cartel which has zero interest in the happiness and well being of its citizens.
Memo to Heather: the wokies outlawed the word "capitalizing" (presumably because it smacks of capitalism & everybody wants to do it) and replaced it with "monetizing". So that's how we know that Bret had to be talking about capital letters. But it was shocking to hear the word.
Hey, a note from the Jordan Peterson podcast: Curious to hear more a breakdown of what you see as, " not only does the opposition appear to be playing with demonic tropes for reasons I can". I think the same thing but would love to hear some grounding from someone I trust. I watched your breakdown of the Olympics opening, that would be I think one. What else are you seeing?

I like a lot of your points, especially the constitutional ones. I found you because of the unity movement and I wanted to know more of where these ex-dems came from and where they are going.

In our family we have two sayings. Rendering ruminant and Never feed the chickens to the chickens. We are first generation city dwellers from a long line of farmers. We boomed when we sold wool to the US army for the Korean war We laughed our guts out at skim milk when it began marketing Prior we just skimmed the cream and the rest fed the pigs, and dogs sometimes The pigs were fed lunch hall slops from the local catholic boarding school We have a full set of utensils with the stamp GGS. And occasionally a chicken would die, and the other chickens eventually ate it. And you see also those Indonesian tribes, they also kinda bungy jump from tree frames head first to the ground with Inflexible vines as bungy cord. Eating brains? So the recipe. Rendered glue fat, mixed with pulverised and ground up chicken whole bone and all, grain, and salt. Salmon feed. Now remind me of all these right wing body builder supplement manufacturers. Lab protein anyone. Huh, chyna melamine infant formula. We are doomed.. The was a time when fat was the danger, (not sugar) prior to the 80s marketing boom to save big soft drink. Bioacumulation on our farms due to exploratory agrochemicals post ww2. Fat is much better now, no way near toxic as it used to be 70s 80s early 90s. And as Frie viva says for his red bull alternate recipe. Cane sugar. I would love to see Kennedy bring the HFCS industry to its grave. Or use it for green airliner fuel only. You yanks are so blind.

He'll my dad caught this supposed HFCS induced biome symbiont from just one 3 week visit back in 03. He came home and ballooned, he got so fat. And what's worse, he infected his wife, bed biome sharing partner. Imagine that. Poo transplant anyone? Choose your donor carefully, mum and your vag birth. You see those Greeks and the tradition of bare foot crushing the wine with women's barefoot, pass on that yeast ladies. The good one, not the HFCS induced one. ( Do they wear underwear while calf high in phenol grapes?) Neil Oliver interviewed a women last week. Brilliant. I have only heard it a few times. But she brought up the concept that most chemicals of life ( on earth, gravity, spin, direction of orbit around the sun...) Are left hand chiral. Just like the fractals of a river delta as viewed in google earth are patterned by gravity. So are the chemicals of life. But fructose corn syrum force feeds you right hand chiral, bad bad for the liver. Now you see why Elon is on a fools errand. Humans are earth bound, of the earth.

In one year. In 10 or so years of vietnam, the US lost 65,000 navarone. Just to put things into perspective. And then let's look into to the supposed 1200 people taken hostage by the October 7th militants. Fair enough? If you still think they were 40 babies beheaded, reference Max Blumenthal for more information. And then, while you're at it, go see how many Israelis killed their own people that were being held hostage via tank and small arms. Get back to me when you have more information. If you don't believe it, there are videos out there, just do a little lookie-loo. Not to mention, Israeli Jew witnesses. Seems to me they're not anti-semitic and would tell the truth about something so horrific. Edit... change from killed, a brain fart, to taken hostage.
The accuracy of polling (pre-election and exit) assumes people will honestly disclose their vote - or even people will disclose their choice. I don’t think in these times that pollers will get an accurate and representative sample. Therefore, I have no faith in polling, which is why we have actual elections and the counting of the ballots. At this point, I see polling as a form ripe for manipulation- ESPECIALLY exit polling. This statistical modeling as a substitute for actual reality is very deceptive, seductive, and dangerous IMHO.

I am a 76 year old former Democrat from Massachusetts. I would NEVER vote for Kamala. I also thought I would never vote for Trump. I had endorsed and donated to the RFK Jr. campaign several times. Now that I have gone down the rabbit hole and now that I am aware that the mainstream media cannot be trusted, I have given my vote to Trump. Unfortunately, I cannot let my die-hard Democratic friends know how I feel about this because they will never speak to me again. It is such a sad time that we are living in to say the least! I watch The Dark Horse Podcast every week and I want to thank Bret and Heather for all their hard work. I have been getting the best advanced education from watching their podcast for several years now. PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR DILIGENT WORK!

You're not alone
I'm in the same boat. It's a very strange sea we're sailing!
As a farmer in CA I can tell you that you are paying a premium for organic in stores and there is absolutely ZERO guarantee it's not conventional.
oh my , i had considered that possibility 🤦♀️. is there a deffinate way to identify which one you have ?
@@cindyspiess9963 The best way to be sure is to buy in-season domestic and directly from a farmer or market you trust. I'm sure there are some small certificates that guarantee testing, but packing houses are notorious cheats. Something that spoils fast might be field packed and sold faster than a test can be done. Some produce is more important to find organic than others. Apples, potatoes and grains for example. Some conventional produce is as good as organic, like avocado, I have a block of persimmons and they don't have pests so they don't get sprayed at all. You can easily grow greens yourself in a container. The worst part is that some imports are labeled organic but are using USA banned chemicals because they are unregulated in other countries. The "Apeal" loophole is really scary too. I wouldn't stress too much if you are doing your best. Most important is to stay away from out of season, processed and pre packaged foods as much as possible.
Another screwy insight is that a lot of super large scale organic farms are owned directly or indirectly by chemical companies like Monsanto!
@@cindyspiess9963Not dependably, no. Your best bet is to find a local organic farmer you can trust and/or build relationships with neighbors in a community gardening effort if possible. Other than that, look up the list they call the 'dirty dozen' when it comes to fruits and vegetables, and definitely buy organic for those at least. It is getting harder and harder to try not to eat poison these days, it is very frustrating and sad.
Do your best to buy local. The less a product travels, the better chance you may have of preservative type chemicals, like 'apeel' not being used. And you'll get fresher too, because so much is picked before it is ripe and this affects the flavor of course, but also the nutritional value.
@cindyspiess9963 if domesticated your food from the wild and grew your own crop from that. There is still a chance it's Monsanto.
There's never a way to be fully sure.
Bret's nickname should be "Batman."
1) Bret's background studying bats
2) Both fight for truth and justice using science and intellect
3) Both are patriots
4) Same initials (Bruce Wayne, Bret Weinstein)
Two lines from Batman:
"It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you." (Batman Begins)
"A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended." (The Dark Knight Rises)
Tell me those don't sound like things Bret would say.
Putting a warm coat around anyone’s shoulders who needs that coat is an incredibly profound act of caring that leaves a life-long sweet warm feeling.
That's the exact reason why Bret is wearing only a button-up long sleeve shirt with no suit jacket.

If only Kamala could help black men obtain photo IDs. I hear that's a big problem.

Perhaps she can tell them about the existence of “computers” while she’s at it.
Maybe Trump can give more gigantic tax breaks to corporations and billionaires instead because they really need those (poor babies). And he can levy tariffs on all imports to jack up the prices for working people and explode inflation and force a bunch of people into poverty.
I'll keep iterating the same thing. If Kamala wanted to change anything she would do it right now. She is already in office!
It's so obvious!

"We"? Not so sure.
As the late Rush Limbaugh always said, the Democratic Party advocates the equal distribution of misery...we now call it "equity".
Equity only creates a sub standard of living and mediocrity at best.
Similar to heat death of the cosmos. By enforcing the leveling it’s like a loss of polarity no attraction for energy to transmit. You eliminate inequality you starve from loss of conductivity
Yeah but just don't get too entrenched in the dumb tribalism of "the right was always correct in every way, and has never been wrong and every single thing the left has ever claimed has always been wrong & immoral"
Remember that in the 90s the religious right were ones instigating the moral panic of "we must ban computer games!" "GTA IV causes violence and it is possible to virtually r@pe someone. And that causes real life r@pe" And they succeeded in banning it in Australia.
Or the 80s when the right wing was claiming dungeons & dragons encourages & draws kids into the occult and turns kids into Satanists."
Both the left & right have had extremist views and totally ret@rded ideas.....it's just that the left has had cultural dominance for too long and never gatekeeps their extremists from the mainstream.

And if it hurt your side, you'd be okay with it how it is... leave your principles at the door.
If you can pay your taxes online you can vote online. Maybe voting season should be during tax season so taxes are fresh on everyone's mind when they cast their ballots.
Yeahhhh, this "voting season" / "voting-month" is total BULLSHIT!... obviously its been arranged this way for ONE reason only--- *(and it ain't to make sure it's 'easy' for people in wheelchairs to be able to vote---). We need to get that ended, if we're ever gonna have a chance.
The “crossing of the aisle” of several prominent or formerly prominent people from both sides to the other is the strongest indication to date of the shifting nature of western politics. It is not a trad right v left , Cons vs Libs, etc. ideological dynamic and split any longer.
Politicians seem to be completely missing this transition to “centrally managed vs local” , a few big entities va many small ones, domestic focus vs foreign, corporate and collective focus vs individual
Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris is certainly a strong indicator that the major faultlines of political competition have shifted from where they were two decades ago... to say nothing of RFK's son endorsing the Republican nominee.
Youth and the new demands of the future will naturally alter the Parties. The Left has become more and cult- like and more and more totalitarian. That is demonstrated in many ways, but the mob actions of the young Ivy League Leftists joining with Hamas supportering mobs in Antisemitic attacks across the nation this year makes their extreme transition painfully clear. This is not the tolerant Democrat Party of the past. On the other hand, the Republican Party has come to represent the open minded, live and let live values of Classical Liberals. Nothing stays the same. Republicans moved more Left, but Democrats moved off the planet.
Voting season is a sign of the decline of our Republic.

First I’d like to say that I have been enjoying Bret’s podcasts and interviews since he left Evergreen State College. About an hour and 10 minutes in he was speaking about the difference between conservatives and liberals. However, he wasn’t really describing conservatives. He was describing libertarians. The values of conservatism are derived from Judeo Christian values. These values dictate how we are to treat each other. The “floor” does not need to be dictated by government because the poor and needy, orphans and widows should be taken care of in the communities in which they reside in a conservative society. Our forefathers knew that with freedom came responsibility. That responsibility includes how we treat our fellow men.
Well said & true.
Absolutely spot on, and why we feel so strongly about small government, faith, family, and self- reliance!
These two have such wonderful chemistry. What a great couple.

I was kind of okay with marijuana being legal in my state. And now that it's happened, I don't feel comfortable with it for some reason.
When it’s not illegal anywhere it’s not bad. When it’s not illegal in one state that state becomes a hub for crime in the surrounding states. Legal shops bring in massive amounts of interstate trafficking for good deals. Taxes steal too much to make anything make sense until you look at interstate traffickers buying legal stuff to sell illegally elsewhere.
A cart for $20 2 gram cart sells for $70 elsewhere and people move thousands at a time.
Legal weed imports crime because we tax it. If it was legal everywhere with no taxes at the same time it would not import crime. We are legalizing it wrong.
When it is legal it is ( mostly ) run by companies driven by profit for their shareholders and to do this they need to maximise their customer numbers and sales. So leads to more drugs in society. Anyone think that's a good thing?
I am a marijuana user in WA and I voted against the legislation. I tried to convince all my buddies but they just wanted cheaper pot.
The legalization should have allowed the common person to grow a couple of plants on their property without any government intrusion (like a tomato plant).
Then if you want to sell or distribute you get regulations. But if for personal use it should not be governed.
@@kevinpankanin6222 that is decrinimalisation not legalisation.

Rent seeking isn't a market failure, it is made possible when government interferes with the free market.
Not even close. Swing and a miss.
Ya that sounds a tad optimistic... humans are greedy and someone will always game an exploit if it's an option. Care to elaborate?
Agreed fully - LOVE Brett and Heather, and don't expect them to have a conservative view of this, but describing earnings gleaned from investment as rent-seeking and wealth-siphoning without adding value betrays a misunderstanding of what investment is and does. The investor is bearing risk by trading existing earned value based on calculated risk for the expectation of a future return (i.e., more value back than he risked in the investment). Investment infuses value back into the market, and in the unhampered market investments are made based on market signals that there is a reasonable expectation of a return rather than a loss. The return is the compensation for the value of bearing the risk of funding an enterprise through investment. Profit off wise investment is no different than profit off wise innovation.
Now, where I do agree with Brett and Heather, is that many (at least, possibly/likely all) of the "great fortunes" (including Elon Musk's, for all that I do like about him - how much of Tesla's success rides on the back of EV subsidies (tax money)? SpaceX on NASA/DOD subcontracting (tax money)? I'm making an assumption, of course) of the modern era have been the result of rent-seeking behavior. Not in the sense of gaining a return on investing into their own or other enterprises, but in the form of leveraging government interventions to the benefit of their business. There's where the rent seeking lives, not in the investment concept.
Genuine question, what does equally distributing opportunity look like, practically speaking? Seems to me that the examples given require redistributing income top-down. I agree that we don't want innocents falling through the cracks; but I think that the problem needs to be, and can be, solved, or at least alleviated, from the ground up.
I love Heather & Bret!
So grateful I came across their podcast!
Thanks, RFK Jr 🙏
Lifelong Republican (68 yo)
Here is our unity prayer:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I would consider it an honor and a duty for the GOP to shelter & restore American unity.
I hope & pray that Trump wins, that his successes do advance unity. Let us be America, delivering prosperity, good cheer, comfort and innovations to the world. That's the go-to for which I'm voting.
I won't compromise on my principles:
1. America first, then help others.
2. All power resides in the citizen. Government only by consent of the governed. Constitutionally limited government. All individual freedoms are protected-- economic, speech, religion, arms.
3. Individual accountability and equal treatment under the law.
To conduct myself with tolerance, patience & respect for others, especially my fellow citizens.
Mankind's greatest days are ahead. The world is counting on us-- let's get together and make it happen!
So if these are your principles, how do you feel about DJT putting the interests of russians & voladya first by sending valuable testing equipment during the pandemic and sharing US secrets with them while standing in the oval office?
How do you feel about him stealing top secret intel, lying about it, sharing it will unauthorized individuals?
How do you feel about his statements that he will use the US military to go after those that don't vote for him?
How do you feel about him using the DOJ to go after political enemies and directing the IRS to audit them?
How do you feel about him threatening to shut down media outlets for negative stories about him?
How do you feel about him pardoning dozens of his own co-conspirators while he was in office?
How do you feel about a POTUS that says he is above the law and cannot be prosecuted for anything he does, ever?

1:20:12 You give them too much credit. Many of these pollsters know what they're doing, but their objective is not to make accurate predictions. Their objective is to alter the future by putting out polls. They do this directly by influencing turnout and sentiment (push polls) and indirectly by helping campaigns lead donors by the nose.
They should make a federal law to make it madatory to get all farming in US organic and ban certain chemicals in food in this country.That would get us starting in the right direction.
Define organic.
Either way that's more laws and less freedom.. as the government they need to release control not get more.. tou can make incentives and people can chose.. but have more laws that make people do things is less and less freedom... "let's make people do stuff because we want things "better". Don't you think Hitler sold what he wanted as good... let's ban Guns to save the babies... we get more money from the government the more kids we have in public school let's go after the parents that take there kids out of school... more force=less good... the village will correct its self...

@@kcolonelx6181 😆
@@cindyspiess9963 Well argued.
@@kcolonelx6181It was the Democrat Party that used unfair literacy tests and KKK terrorist intimidation to block and discourage Black voting! Look it up!
Democrats created and ran the KKK as the military wing of their Party to control Black's after the Civil War.
Federal Troops were initially in the south during 12 years of Reconstruction to assure and enforce the rights of Blacks to vote. These new laws were promised by Linclon and passed by REPUBLICANS in Congress in the Republican written and introduced 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments! They were made law on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865.
However, when Federal troops Left after Reconstruction, Democrats began voting the Republicans that upheld the laws out of office. They replaced Republicans with Democrats. The Democrat created and controlled KKK threated and intimidated Blacks to keep them from voting in significant numbers.
These Democrats in office also created unfair literacy tests and other laws that discouraged and limited Blacks from voting in number or obtaining political office.
Educate yourself on the truth and look up, BRIA 12 2 b Race and Voting in the Segregated South, on the internet, and learn how Republicans and Linclon's Federal Troops inforced the rights for Blacks to vote. The result was that Blacks were voted into office and served in Washington in Congress. That changed when Federal Troops withdrew after Reconstruction 12 years later. Then the Democrats voted themselves back into power and quickly went back to their old racist tricks! Now they hate Whites, Jewish people and Christians. They were never the Party their propagandists presented them as!

If someone's own "floor" or "depths of despair" isn't triggered by their own hunger or even the needs of their offspring, then a contrived "bottom" certainly won't motivate them to start climbing up.
Not everyone is wired to excel or even unenthusiastically strive.
There's an inversely flawed assumption that struggling people CAN'T climb their way up without intervention - it's just that this second example adds biggoted perspective in addition to not understanding human behavior.

56:25 This is not support of rent control, but a lot of apartment complexes and even larger property management companies are doing algorithmic pricing where the price changes every day and the price of each unit depends on what floor it's on, is it on the courtyard side or the parking lot side, is it on the end, etc. Essentially, many market players have farmed out their pricing to one company that's running an algorithm.
The Biden DOJ recently brought suit against a tech company for providing software they knew was being utilized by users to engage in price fixing in rental markets and withholding inventory to boost prices.
The quality of a space has always been how places are priced.
Prices going up or down more frequently based off that day's market is annoying, but it's not an argument for price controls.

We have similar issues with housing affordability, and far left politicians do blame landlords. But it's obvious that the problem is immigration. In the 1970s housing was cheap and plentiful. The last time birthrates were at replacement level ( average 2.1 children per woman) was 1976. Today birthrates are about 1.63. If it were not for immigration we would still have plenty of affordable housing without building a single house.

But to Legalize ( from which will stem all manner of normalization and propagation ) smoking pot is just dumb and societally damaging. The experiment has already been run in many countries and the results, despite wildly exaggerated positive tales out of Portugal, have not been good.
I'm from the Netherlands and our teenagers have the lowest percentage of pot-smokers among western european nations. Majority of pot is smoked by tourists anyway.
Portugal legalized posession (and use) of hard drugs and the results are negative - increased both addiction levels and criminal activity (bigger market). They're going San Francisco way,when (if?) numbers of addicts owerwhelm their health system capacity which is already at the saturation point. Dealing with addicts is very labour intensive and very expensive policy but California alone has bigger budget for this issue than all european countries combined but very poor public health policies.
Generaly pot legalisation is bad idea,it creates more problems than it solves - we are quite conservative society despite completely opposite public image and drugs never "took off" as in other parts of the world. Alcohol is by far our biggest problem as in most other countries,it's bigger than all other drugs combined.
@ms-jl6dl correct. The Dutch don’t penalize anyone for it and allow it in the Amsterdam red light districts but …. Culturally and educationally you don’t condone it and in fact teach your youth to avoid it.
The reality of our zoomer youth here in Canada where it’s now legal is similar. Zoomers partake less in all the vices than their predecessors. Not sure why that’s the case but those are the stats. But among the rest of the demographics, the result of legalization is not good.

My father in-law from South Carolina will be voting early because he will be visiting his grandchildren in Minnesota when he would be voting at home. He scheduled his visit with us between doctors appointments that are vital to his health. It's nice to know that you don't think that it's important for him to see his family. What about people that will be working out of state or overseas on Nov. 5th? What about people who are physically unable to vote in person? Military personnel stationed abroad? Sorry but early voting is just a necessary option for the lives we lead today. Not everyone leads such an entitled life that they can chose to be in a certain place and time to vote.

A note on this term "rent-seeking". It is almost always, (99%) a term that applies to what the state does or what the state enables. This is not a term that has to do with free markets. Taxes are almost always this, but when you have an exchange of value, which is the case 99% of the time in free markets, you can't have rent-seeking.
Rent seeking is also enabled by market capture. Centralization and cooperation are mechanisms that may lead to de facto market capture. I think a state fills a necessary function in keeping an even playing field, when it works properly.
Wow, you really don't understand economics and the terms you are using at all do you?
@@handuke Give me cases where "market capture" occurred without "help" from the state. Monopoly is not rent-seeking.
@@kcolonelx6181 Explain to me how taxation is other than rent-seeking, the the economic definition.
@@konberner170 Rent seeking is a term related to economic systems and relates to profits received for providing goods and services within that framework.

Bret's concern about rent-seeking should motivate him to take another look at Henry George and land value tax.
Thomas Sowell has discussed the unintended consequences of policies aimed at hiding or withholding criminal records of job applicants, including African Americans, in his works. While he is critical of racial disparities and supports equality of opportunity, he argues that such policies can backfire in ways that harm the very groups they are intended to help.
Sowell's primary concern is that **employers, in the absence of information about an applicant’s criminal record**, may resort to other forms of broad assumptions or profiling. If employers know they can't access criminal records but suspect that individuals from certain demographic groups (such as young Black men) have higher crime rates, they may avoid hiring people from those groups altogether. This can lead to more **discrimination by proxy**-not because of actual criminal records, but because employers feel they're being deprived of important information and make generalizations based on race or gender instead.
In essence, Sowell argues that **withholding relevant information** about criminal records can create mistrust and reduce employment opportunities for law-abiding individuals within those groups. He advocates for transparency and open competition where individuals can succeed based on merit rather than hidden factors or policies that may worsen stereotyping.
Sowell is notorious for making claims that he cannot support with anything other than his feelings or "maybes".

The accuracy of polling (pre-election and exit) assumes people will honestly disclose their vote - or even people will disclose their choice.
