Watching Bret and Heather get the giggles together absolutely MAKES my Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to you both. It’s the best Christmas Eve in memory.
Ever the rebel, you said "Merry Christmas"! Blessings be on your family at this time and always. Thank you both for ever speaking the truths we all need to know and hear.
It is Christmas morning 2024 and I am listening to my favorite Jewish man.....and his smart wive. Thank you both soo much, for all your work! I whish you light and love from a wet and dark Holland. Marry Christmas everybody!

The movement for independence in Greenland has been growing for years, just as the whining by politicians in Denmark about the financial costs of retaining control of Greenland has grown louder. A vote for independence would have probably have already passed if Denmark did not offer Greenlander's access to EU educational and employment opportunities. The posturing by POTUS 47 around Greenland communicates several things simultaneously. It put's Canada in their place. It puts the EU in it's place. It speaks to the underlying sentiment of the Monroe Doctrine, which is that the Western Hemisphere is off limits to the imperial ambitions of foreign powers. The rhetoric around Panama reiterates this underlying sentiment. The USA must not sit on her hands while foreign powers make inroads into ownership and control of critical resources in this hemisphere. Of course, one cannot invoke the Monroe Doctrine without also breathing life into the Kruschev Doctrine. This is the obvious solution to the military and economic war in Ukraine. Putin demands that the sphere of influence of the Russian Federation be honored, just as any other regional power would.
@@BPrim-ce5zw Any resource rich country near the USA that pursues warmer relations with the USA, incrementally diminishes the economic leverage that Canada has.
@@BPrim-ce5zw It doesn't. Canada's not an Imperialist colony. We're a sovereign nation with our own constitution. A member of the Commonwealth of Nations and NATO. Both we and Greenland are off limits to the Imperialist ambitions of the United states, contrary to the delusions coming out of the United States. "You must give up your country for the sake of the US's national security and freedom around the world" is basically what's coming out of Trump and his sycophant's mouths. Classic Imperialist rhetoric that deserves to be mocked, ridiculed, and squashed in every instance. Sure, armchair experts can resort to saying that the US could try to take what it wants by force, but not without being the ones to start WW3 for their own selfish interests and crippling themselves in the process. So much for an anti-war president. Insulting and making veiled threats against a shrinking list of allies that you rely on in a global economy isn't a smart move. Having the largest military budget and the third largest military in the world doesn't = the most successful, either. Not with a 1:5 win to loss ratio. They spent 20 years fighting militant farmers in a tiny 's---hole' country only to cede power and leave in shame. Historically speaking, invading geographically large, northern countries like Canada, or Russia for ex, doesn't usually end well for the invader even with the best of circumstances. Otherwise, someone would've annexed us by now. Trump is talking nonsense and hoping that we're dumb enough to feel threatened by it. It might work on Trudeau, but Trump isn't going to have it that easy for long.
@@ivermec-tin666 Canada doesn't have much economic leverage, nor has it ever. It's under the domain of the queen. A commonwealth nation. In other words a vassal state.
All I can guess is that it puts their big Brother USA peeking over both shoulders to keep her in line, none of that silly communism talk trying to impress their cool friends in the southern hemisphere….. but I am pretty heavily medicated right now and I could be a bit caught up in entertaining myself. Sorry. Carry on. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! 😊
@@PetraKann And according to Jews it's the beginning of Hanukkah this year, and they happen to believe Christ is not the Messiah... Your comment is very confusing 😂
@@Kube_Dogyou realize humans have been doing that since the beginning of time right? You think everyone that celebrate Christmas believes in the Christ story? lol Its just part of freedom - u can’t tell someone else what to do or not do and if they want to celebrate some tradition from another culture just because they think it’s cool or neat-o then guess what… they can. In fact, that’s exactly how traditions propagate thru time - new people think it’s worth doing for whatever reason and they adopt it. Stop being a whiner.
Thank you again for all of the effort that you two put into this on a regular basis. I always find your conversations very thoughtful and balanced, exploring all sides of a things. May God bless you and your family.
As Konstantin Kisin once pointed out: Just because you have a platform doesn't mean you should have an opinion about everything. Microphones and an audience tend to make "personalities" dumb. I love to listen to Bret and Heather wax lyrically about stuff they know about. But it's discouraging to have to watch Bret who knows little about the Belt and Road Initiative explain to Heather what BTI is as they fumble around with the Greenland topic which has a long and storied history of US strategic plays. Just recently the US, Danes and (believe it or not) Australians have been sparing with the Chinese over access in Greenland. Bottom line: Do your research before talking about obscure geostrategic gambits you know nothing about, or better yet, don't go there at all because you damage your cred. Yeah, I know, ya'll have this idea that you don't have to be an expert to grok complex issues as a lay person. Which is true, however, you just illustrated how a lay person ought not to approach a complex (not nonlinear, but still deep) topic. Also, after years of listening to DarkHorse, I'm getting to the point where Bret's cynicism and paranoia has me doubting his priors and ability to be rational when it comes to the techno-bio political matters he does know a lot about. For instance, Bret seems to imagine that medical and health industry people wake up in the morning, yawn, and think what fresh evil can I bring upon the world today? Fact is not even Putin or Barbeque (cannibal gang leader in Haiti) wake up thinking they're the bad guys and how can I fuck the world up more today. I have little doubt that WHO, big pharma, Fauci, dancing Covid nurses, et al, perpetuated mayhem upon the world. I also have little doubt they wake up in the morning thinking they are doing good for the world. You simply do not have to be evil to be bad, stupidity and lacking self-awareness will suffice. This may seem a subtle distinction, but it's an important one because it goes to motives and intentionality, which if Bret continues to misjudge en mass, he's likely to also misjudge how to best deal with the problems he wants corrected. As a rule of thumb don't assign corrupt motives to everyone who has done the calculus differently. End of rant. PS, I'll be listening to the next darkhorse podcast while I paint the bedroom. Love and peace.
Ok, how do you make me want to listen to the ads?!?! I’m sure Crowd Health is great, but I’m more interested in how you two made the eggnog that MUST have been indulged in, generously, pre-podcast! 😂 Happy Holidays! 😊
That's what they did here in California in the 60s, leaving several rows of redwoods along the major roads. Shocker when walking in the woods to come to the edge of the clear cut.
As Michael Crichton points out in State of Fear, there were many more types of trees way before the Redwoods in that part of the country. The Redwoods then blotted the sun from the other trees and vegetation making for a dearth of wild game and other wildlife
I often find that supposedly educated and informed people have enormous gaps in their knowledge. To be fair to Heather, she has spent her life as an evolutionary biologist and mother etc and has suddenly found herself on a podcast that spends or much or most of its time covering political and geo-political issues. She probably has about 30 years of missing knowledge to catch up on and should not, really, be commenting on these things.
If history shows anything it's that borders anywhere are only lines on paper. Actual borders are what can be successfully defended. In the last 200 years, far more borders have changed than have remained the same.
Because it’s a ploy…a means of asking much then dialing it way back, but only you know that you are getting what you truly wanted. It’s the art of the deal.

Can I just say how beautiful and healthy your front and center plant looks! I've watched it grow along with your show. Truly one of my favorites❣️ Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
How about we use our money to take care of AMERICANS and America FIRST?? I’m really sick of hearing about politicians “wants”! We need to help our veterans, children and homeless FIRST before even considering Greenland which for your information belongs to Denmark!
I do agree but I also think purchasing Greenland could provide huge benefits if the ice does come to melt in the coming generations. There are apparently a lot of minerals there which have not been fully explored. Anything that can make America less dependent on foreign countries the better
"Belongs to Denmark" might not be the best way to describe their agreements. The agreement between Denmark and Greenland allows Greenland to split from Denmark any time it chooses. One of the reasons it doesn't is because it only has a population of around 60K with a high percentage being poor. Denmark pays Greenland an amount equal to around 20% of Greenland's GDP. It's not easy to go independent if you are poor and financially reliant on someone. There's nothing wrong with the US making Greenland a better offer. Development could bring up the income and standards of living for the people of Greenland. Also, there could be more to gain for America than it costs us. The purchase of Alaska was called Seward's Folly at the time and it's now thought of as one of the best land purchases of all time.
@@justoldjoe9328No, it belongs to Denmark. They settled there can 950-1450 AD and again 1750 AD and the Inuits aren't technically the natives, but immigrated in waves centuries after the Scandinavians. The self-rule was a virtuesignalling farce pushed by the US and communists. Denmark might sell, idk... But the US already has military access(NATO), US/EU companies get dibs on charters and Denmark is a close ally.
It took me a long while, but I figured out what y'all's intro song was. I saw the video years ago and just put it together. Marble music machine is what I type in to find it. That is so awesome.
As an American - that’s a ridiculous question considering if we wanted to “take it all” we could’ve been doing that for the last 25yrs. Our corrupt govt would rather covertly overthrow govts and send all our tax dollars to places like Germany even tho it has the best or one of the best economies in Europe. As an American I would prefer we shut down 75% of our foreign military bases, stop sending all our money to foreign countries, make deals so that we do control the hemisphere around the USA in a strategic way, not in an economic or political way (maybe that’s impossible idk) and bring back all of our manufacturing from places like China. And the next time Russia invades Ukraine or Germany we just watch instead of getting involved because it’s not our business. That’s what most Americans want.
Trump is not talking about "taking" Greenland. He is talking about offering a deal. He has said that the people of Greenland should have democratic input. As so often happens, the story gets reported without full context.
Inclusive public schools is a blanket term that means trans ideology, but it also means acceptance of terrible public controlled schools, and it has an anti-Christian schooling bias as well as an anti-home schooling bias.
Since you are new to the geopolitical sphere: This is a straight forward answer as to why Trump wants Greenland, it is simply about raw material and keeping China / Russia at bay: ua-cam.com/video/Lv9qHzwsvfM/v-deo.htmlsi=Oc_BAvk4MNzGCgHb
Something that crossed my mind about greenland being inhabitable atm. If you expect it to warm up in the coming years, even if far in the future, the return on investment is priceless. SO much resource, so much land. No matter what price you pay, it will pay for itself. The odds of them selling it are not 0 now, but will be once it's fertile again
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. Love you guys! Here's hoping we see real change in 2025. I love those 8 principles at the end of the episode - turns out I've been living by those my whole life ❤
By the way... Watch the movie "Greenland" to know what Trump was saying. His executive order during his last administration ensured JCOS are the only ones who can legally disclose the bad news.
@01:33:36 "we have social programming" - how do some of these individuals get the money to open a bookstore/ buy a house - and then be able to work making a living doing this? How many of these individuals are artificially propped up by think tanks and etc.
Greenland: Did Trump specifically say that US need to buy Greenland, or did he say that (someone's) ownership of Greenland is important ??? Last time Trump talked about buying Greenland, my fellow Danes really wanted to keep it, even that having it comes with a cost. If you is reminded that you can loose a thing, you start cherish it a lot more.
Interesting point… I think this time he just said “ownership and control is very important”, and implied he meant americas ownership. Obviously we’re not going to invade Greenland and take it and he’s a businessman so everyone with a brain knows he’s talking about making a deal with Denmark/Greenland for them to join the US in some way.
@@WideAwakeHuman Denmark has just signed a contract non-negotchable for the next 10 years. US can now have/use 3 bases in Denmark. Not even the cold war made our government make that deal - quite opposite we didn't war NATO/US A-weapons on our soil Something is up..
I love you guys. Thank GOD, the heavens, the universe, whatever, for you two. I Absolutely LOVE listening to these two brilliant people. Thank you for what you guys do. Awesome stuff
I doubt that given how tuned-in Heather is on most matters. Perhaps she was just tee'ing up Bret's one line overview for those viewers not yet familiar with the term?
Whatever you THINK Trump is doing, its usually not what is actually going on. He’s a MASTER at creating deals and strategizing how to get them. Going after Greenland could have nothing to do with Greenland.
Lol, ok. Sure. The MASTER worked out the trade deal between Canada and Mexico that he's now complaining about. Maybe he should've mentioned border patrol the first dozen times they sat down with our ministers to hash things out. Maybe he didn't work out such a great deal for America after all? That would be saying something considering the fact that he was dealing with Canada's most incompetent, uneducated woke government in it's entire history at the time. Freeland for crying out loud. Our embarrassment of a former finance minister. That's who he lost to. Trump's 'strategizing' is akin to the logic used by a used car salesman. Get a grip.
yes, he is masterfully talking about some American imperial ambitions which do not affect a daily life of an American in the slightest, and America is talking about it, blindsided. Somehow America first means American elite business & control interests, not interests of everyday American.
"Since 1867, the United States has considered, or made, several proposals to purchase the island of Greenland from Denmark, as it did with the Danish West Indies in 1917. A 1951 treaty gives the United States much control over the defense of an island it once partially claimed from exploration." From wikiedia
I read through the comments, skipping the snarky virtue signaling, and found a single one referencing the state of lake levels & how it’s negatively affecting the ability to operate the locks. It seems any discussion on the canal needs to address this.
In 1867, United States Secretary of State William H. Seward worked with former senator Robert J. Walker to explore the possibility of buying Greenland and, perhaps, Iceland. Opposition in Congress ended this project.[62] Following World War II, the United States developed a geopolitical interest in Greenland and in 1946 offered to buy the island from Denmark for $100,000,000; the Danish rejected the offer.
Hawaii pursued annexation to the US, voted overwhelmingly for Statehood, and their first Congressional representative from the territory was Prince Kuhio. Queen Liliuokalani herself became a proud US citizen who flew the stars and stripes over her home. Hawaii is a State because the people of Hawaii wanted it.
After arresting half a million illegals, Trump might run low on jail space. Greenland likely has abundant abandoned military quarters. Not comfortable! Using them motivates self departures from the mainland. Denmark has similar issues.
I was thinking it would make a great island prison for our 30-40 million illegals and maybe lease out room for Western Europe’s, Canada’s and Australia’s illegals. I’m sure most would self deport instead of going there especially if we stop all welfare
The first few primes are close together. The distance between them increases for a while but reach a surprisingly low maximum between successive primes. Something about this is very counter intuitive.
Does anybody know if Bret and Heather spoke about solar panels? Looks like there appear papers about leaking heavy metals, solar trash etc. Is it really such a useful and priming technology, is it safe for people to live near solar farms?
Bret and Heather: “We are going to take a 13:17 point of view - the spirit of Christmas being what it is.” What a crock that is! Let’s look at the Christmas story. It is a fight to the death with evil! When a mystery of of evil overtook the world and it fell, it’s creator came into the world to draw its poison upon himself and die for it sins against Himself, its creator, and rise in victory over them. He came into it to suffer its outrageous hate towards Him, to save sinners from their own evil works, while judging evil for what it is - a contempt for all that is good, pure, beautiful and true - and destroy that evil utterly. That is the spirit of Christmas. Not taking time for a happy holiday while the wicked go their killing way. No. If you love the good remain joined in battle with evil. That child in the manger came to die and rise in triumph over a spirit that was and remains malevolent.
1:39:51 That's my Christmas Miracle right there. Child of Man speaks a truth into The World. (JRE & GGrumps also had commendatory offerings) Merry Christmas, thanks for the show.
I love Hanukkah - and I have no Jewish roots besides my dad growing up in a mostly Jewish neighborhood. Americans love a good story about standing up to tyrants.
Nice episode! But can you explain why your analysis of panama's origin and the possibility of the US seizing parts of panama for security reasons is different from Russia's arguments to take Crimea and other parts of Ukraine?
I love you guys! Thank you for the giggles… I just love watching someone laugh ‘ttears roll down one’s cheeks. I vow to laugh more in 2025! Happy Hanukkah! 🎉😂❤
Normativity is a fairly rare phenomenon where what appears to be a standard outdoor nativity scene is in fact employing a cast of the late Norm Macdonald’s face on each of the hominids. RIP Norm. We miss ya buddy.
We need an alternative organization with several nations sponsoring and working together to stop diseases and get medications and vaccines to both affluent and poor countries. It needs to be free of Big Pharma influence.
@45:00 I can't believe that is the only reference you guys make about drones. Sort of off topic, but not entirely. I was wondering why Heather didn't use ivrm when she got sick? Also, I just tried to look up the original Nobel Prize press release for when Iver won the prize in 2015, and it has been completely rewritten to omit any mention of it as an antiviral. Which I should have seen coming, but it still is a shocking statement of what they are willing to do! I really wish I had screen shot that. That's the biggest problem with the internet vs books, they can rewrite history in a quick minute.
Watching Bret and Heather get the giggles together absolutely MAKES my Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to you both. It’s the best Christmas Eve in memory.

Buying Greenland with Other People's Money is what we are talking about.
Trump isn't a conservative, he is a businessman. If he sees a US economic interest in annexing Greenland, he would pursue it.

She confused it with the Suspenders and Street Initiative, which is an understandable mistake.

The purchase of Alaska was called Seward's Folly at the time and it's now thought of as one of the best land purchases of all time.
Greenand has a lot of resources in its ground that can support a greater population. That means work for financialy. Stressed Americans and others.
How about people take care of themselves instead of crawling around in the gutter looking for drugs.
@@justoldjoe9328No, it belongs to Denmark. They settled there can 950-1450 AD and again 1750 AD and the Inuits aren't technically the natives, but immigrated in waves centuries after the Scandinavians. The self-rule was a virtuesignalling farce pushed by the US and communists. Denmark might sell, idk... But the US already has military access(NATO), US/EU companies get dibs on charters and Denmark is a close ally.
We don't really care what number of episode it is (even if it's a prime)...but we DO care what the topic is. Give us a hint. Love you guys.
It took me a long while, but I figured out what y'all's intro song was. I saw the video years ago and just put it together. Marble music machine is what I type in to find it. That is so awesome.
I as a German ask you: which part of the world is not of strategic interest for the US? Be free to take it all?
You wish 😊
As an American - that’s a ridiculous question considering if we wanted to “take it all” we could’ve been doing that for the last 25yrs.
Our corrupt govt would rather covertly overthrow govts and send all our tax dollars to places like Germany even tho it has the best or one of the best economies in Europe.
As an American I would prefer we shut down 75% of our foreign military bases, stop sending all our money to foreign countries, make deals so that we do control the hemisphere around the USA in a strategic way, not in an economic or political way (maybe that’s impossible idk) and bring back all of our manufacturing from places like China. And the next time Russia invades Ukraine or Germany we just watch instead of getting involved because it’s not our business. That’s what most Americans want.
Trump is not talking about "taking" Greenland. He is talking about offering a deal. He has said that the people of Greenland should have democratic input.
As so often happens, the story gets reported without full context.
Silly German. You're not a superpower, this doesn't concern you.
Yeah so, better watch out.
Inclusive public schools is a blanket term that means trans ideology, but it also means acceptance of terrible public controlled schools, and it has an anti-Christian schooling bias as well as an anti-home schooling bias.
In Australia small private Roman Catholic schools are popular for these reasons.
Since you are new to the geopolitical sphere: This is a straight forward answer as to why Trump wants Greenland, it is simply about raw material and keeping China / Russia at bay: ua-cam.com/video/Lv9qHzwsvfM/v-deo.htmlsi=Oc_BAvk4MNzGCgHb
Something that crossed my mind about greenland being inhabitable atm. If you expect it to warm up in the coming years, even if far in the future, the return on investment is priceless. SO much resource, so much land. No matter what price you pay, it will pay for itself. The odds of them selling it are not 0 now, but will be once it's fertile again
Where is the cat? Its always nice to have the host of the show on camera.
Merry Christmas to you both! 🎄
Merry Christmas to two special people. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom so freely. ♥️
Thank you for an enlightening podcast. And just getting to hear the calmness and sanity of two logical and humane people speak.
Merry Christmas. Best Ad read so far!!
Love you both! Happy holiday and I look forward to the new year 2025 and all the good you will bring us ❤
Dang.... The argument against drags confusing children reminded me of Scooby Doo where they took off the masks ...
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.
Love you guys! Here's hoping we see real change in 2025.
I love those 8 principles at the end of the episode - turns out I've been living by those my whole life ❤
By the way... Watch the movie "Greenland" to know what Trump was saying. His executive order during his last administration ensured JCOS are the only ones who can legally disclose the bad news.
Hanukkah
Question? Any insight on the Queensland Australia bio lab missing viruses??
Fellow Australian, I haven't heard about this.
@ look it up. It’s info I found from multiple sources but haven’t seen any more about…
@@williamhague2768 tar. Hope you had a great Christmas
@01:33:36 "we have social programming" - how do some of these individuals get the money to open a bookstore/ buy a house - and then be able to work making a living doing this? How many of these individuals are artificially propped up by think tanks and etc.
Greenland: Did Trump specifically say that US need to buy Greenland, or did he say that (someone's) ownership of Greenland is important ???
Last time Trump talked about buying Greenland, my fellow Danes really wanted to keep it, even that having it comes with a cost.
If you is reminded that you can loose a thing, you start cherish it a lot more.
America cannot allow an "independent" Greenland, bc it would immediately be controlled by China/Russia.
Trump mentioned US taking it
Interesting point… I think this time he just said “ownership and control is very important”, and implied he meant americas ownership. Obviously we’re not going to invade Greenland and take it and he’s a businessman so everyone with a brain knows he’s talking about making a deal with Denmark/Greenland for them to join the US in some way.
@@WideAwakeHuman Denmark has just signed a contract non-negotchable for the next 10 years.
US can now have/use 3 bases in Denmark.
Not even the cold war made our government make that deal - quite opposite we didn't war NATO/US A-weapons on our soil
Something is up..
Very true, but not sure "cherish" is the right word.
19:48 we love you guys so much! Thanks for being yourselves
Excellent, loved the concrete insight. Merry Christmas to you all!
I LOVE your banter. You are adorable. I'm so peanut butter and jealous. My husband completely ignores me. 😢
You're a monster
Smooth peanut butter jealous or crunchy peanut butter jealous?
@alex-internetlubber Crunchy. Always crunchy.
Ignore him for a week and he'll learn his lesson.
I love you guys. Thank GOD, the heavens, the universe, whatever, for you two. I Absolutely LOVE listening to these two brilliant people. Thank you for what you guys do. Awesome stuff
It is fairly obvious why you two get along so well. Merry Christmas
Heather had never heard of the Belt and Road Initiative? 🤔
I doubt that given how tuned-in Heather is on most matters. Perhaps she was just tee'ing up Bret's one line overview for those viewers not yet familiar with the term?
Why is it strange that someone may not have heard of something?
"I am not familiar with the belt and road initiative".... sometimes this podcast leaves me speechless.
Whatever you THINK Trump is doing, its usually not what is actually going on. He’s a MASTER at creating deals and strategizing how to get them. Going after Greenland could have nothing to do with Greenland.
Lol, ok. Sure. The MASTER worked out the trade deal between Canada and Mexico that he's now complaining about. Maybe he should've mentioned border patrol the first dozen times they sat down with our ministers to hash things out. Maybe he didn't work out such a great deal for America after all? That would be saying something considering the fact that he was dealing with Canada's most incompetent, uneducated woke government in it's entire history at the time. Freeland for crying out loud. Our embarrassment of a former finance minister. That's who he lost to. Trump's 'strategizing' is akin to the logic used by a used car salesman. Get a grip.
yes, he is masterfully talking about some American imperial ambitions which do not affect a daily life of an American in the slightest, and America is talking about it, blindsided. Somehow America first means American elite business & control interests, not interests of everyday American.
"Since 1867, the United States has considered, or made, several proposals to purchase the island of Greenland from Denmark, as it did with the Danish West Indies in 1917. A 1951 treaty gives the United States much control over the defense of an island it once partially claimed from exploration." From wikiedia
@@bobibufi1389 its bigger picture stuff...
I read through the comments, skipping the snarky virtue signaling, and found a single one referencing the state of lake levels & how it’s negatively affecting the ability to operate the locks. It seems any discussion on the canal needs to address this.
In 1867, United States Secretary of State William H. Seward worked with former senator Robert J. Walker to explore the possibility of buying Greenland and, perhaps, Iceland. Opposition in Congress ended this project.[62] Following World War II, the United States developed a geopolitical interest in Greenland and in 1946 offered to buy the island from Denmark for $100,000,000; the Danish rejected the offer.
Hawaii pursued annexation to the US, voted overwhelmingly for Statehood, and their first Congressional representative from the territory was Prince Kuhio. Queen Liliuokalani herself became a proud US citizen who flew the stars and stripes over her home.
Hawaii is a State because the people of Hawaii wanted it.
I always ask people if they know who Blaire White is? And tell them to listen to Blaire. Blaire explains the whole trans situation, honestly.
Borders get more firm in the nuclear age.
But they have been fluid in eastern Europe following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
After arresting half a million illegals, Trump might run low on jail space. Greenland likely has abundant abandoned military quarters. Not comfortable! Using them motivates self departures from the mainland. Denmark has similar issues.
I was thinking it would make a great island prison for our 30-40 million illegals and maybe lease out room for Western Europe’s, Canada’s and Australia’s illegals.
I’m sure most would self deport instead of going there especially if we stop all welfare
Great! It can also become our Siberia for recalcitrant politicos...
How come we get commercials that were absents before... and so many... 😢
Let's trade New England for Greenland.
Heck, throw California into that deal.
Or just Brady
No, straight up buy Greenland. Then send all the illegals there. Then grant Greenland it's independence.
Dane here, it's a deal. Sign here, here and here.
Canadian here. Can we auction New England? I'll bid Quebec.
Merry Christmas everyone!
The first few primes are close together. The distance between them increases for a while but reach a surprisingly low maximum between successive primes. Something about this is very counter intuitive.
Merry Christmas
the first 6 mins about Primes is watching to really smart people in the act of 4 play lol really enjoy the show guys
I flew on KLM from Amsterdam to Montreal and as we passed over the west coast of Greenland I saw glaciers falling into the sea forming icebergs.
Heather: "You contain multitudes."
Beautiful!
😂 love the laughter 😂 and you guys are such a beautiful couple. Thank you for sharing with us.
36:29 "the strategic importance of Greenland - its location is ... obviously unique."
Does anybody know if Bret and Heather spoke about solar panels? Looks like there appear papers about leaking heavy metals, solar trash etc. Is it really such a useful and priming technology, is it safe for people to live near solar farms?
The farms give off radiation.
Bret and Heather: “We are going to take a 13:17 point of view - the spirit of Christmas being what it is.”
What a crock that is!
Let’s look at the Christmas story. It is a fight to the death with evil!
When a mystery of of evil overtook the world and it fell, it’s creator came into the world to draw its poison upon himself and die for it sins against Himself, its creator, and rise in victory over them. He came into it to suffer its outrageous hate towards Him, to save sinners from their own evil works, while judging evil for what it is - a contempt for all that is good, pure, beautiful and true - and destroy that evil utterly.
That is the spirit of Christmas. Not taking time for a happy holiday while the wicked go their killing way. No. If you love the good remain joined in battle with evil. That child in the manger came to die and rise in triumph over a spirit that was and remains malevolent.
Are you also nervous about US influence in Taiwan?
OMG I am dyin here, I love your laughter together, I'm wheezin and spittin!!!
Fantastic podcast..... just great that we have access to great dialouge.
1:39:51 That's my Christmas Miracle right there. Child of Man speaks a truth into The World. (JRE & GGrumps also had commendatory offerings)
Merry Christmas, thanks for the show.
Ahhh, nothing like a trans lesson to get me in the Christmas spirit 🎄😝🤣😝🤣. Thank you so much, Merry Christmas!🙏
Can you imagine if hetero teachers wearing such an outfit, makeup and hair do would in school would generally be tolerated.
I also am a "heavy believer in guns"!
The evidence is overwhelming!
GUNS EXIST! 😂😂
thank you Bret and Heather! Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.....but....ohhhh soo many commercials.
Thankfully we can fast-forward thru them.
Merry Christmas & Happy Chanukah ❤❤❤
I love Hanukkah - and I have no Jewish roots besides my dad growing up in a mostly Jewish neighborhood. Americans love a good story about standing up to tyrants.

I want to get the product simply because you made me laugh, love you guys!!! 😅
I'm with Bret. Christmas eve should no't be acknowledged until 6 pm.
Christmas Eve is Christmas day in Oz. I'm listening to this on the 27th December.
Nice episode! But can you explain why your analysis of panama's origin and the possibility of the US seizing parts of panama for security reasons is different from Russia's arguments to take Crimea and other parts of Ukraine?
the giggles were a wonderful few moments...
Welcome back Zack.
I love you guys! Thank you for the giggles… I just love watching someone laugh ‘ttears roll down one’s cheeks. I vow to laugh more in 2025! Happy Hanukkah! 🎉😂❤
With you guys!
I’m soooo thankful that Bret takes haphazardness very seriously !
Two real heroes for mankind.
Could not get this video to play from 139 minutes onwards. Shame. This was super interesting…
Normativity is a fairly rare phenomenon where what appears to be a standard outdoor nativity scene is in fact employing a cast of the late Norm Macdonald’s face on each of the hominids. RIP Norm. We miss ya buddy.
We need an alternative organization with several nations sponsoring and working together to stop diseases and get medications and vaccines to both affluent and poor countries. It needs to be free of Big Pharma influence.
Merry Christmas!🌲🌲🌲
@45:00 I can't believe that is the only reference you guys make about drones.
Sort of off topic, but not entirely. I was wondering why Heather didn't use ivrm when she got sick? Also, I just tried to look up the original Nobel Prize press release for when Iver won the prize in 2015, and it has been completely rewritten to omit any mention of it as an antiviral. Which I should have seen coming, but it still is a shocking statement of what they are willing to do! I really wish I had screen shot that. That's the biggest problem with the internet vs books, they can rewrite history in a quick minute.
There are still geographic frontiers, they just haven't been discovered.
Both of you are outstanding!!! Shalom! Shalom! He has been given an earth suit to lay it down for His cherished creation/children. Sebastian Fl
