  • John Cullen

    Thank you for yours & Heather Heying’s informative & fun podcasts. This one was odd. It reminds me of 2019 & my need to sort out Covid ‘experts’. I chose to avoid the shot partly because of interviews where ‘experts’ substantiated their opinion by overreaching into unknowns—and when it was apparent that the interviewer had little experience in the subject matter. Guns: Reading about guns vs living around them, cleaning them, and hunting much of my life tipped me to who controlled the interview. ... more

  • These ridiculous theories are utterly baseless. Charlie Kirk was shot from the rooftop. Any halfway competent hunter could easily make that shot with that rifle. Robinson was radicalized into the leftist cult which hated Kirk so much they publicly celebrated his assassination. The only anomaly is the lack of an exit wound, but the 30-06 has hundreds of documented cases where there was no exit wound - even with FMJ ammo. Pull your head out of your butt Bret, not everything is a conspiracy.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Arday Has Finally Arrived: Peter Boghossian on DarkHorse
Q: What is your view of the Jason Arday case and its implications for academia?
The incident exposes a broader breakdown in standards and trust in elite institutions, illustrating how credential inflation and selective integrity undermine meritocracy and public confidence in scholarship.
The Strange Rise of Fanaticism: The 339th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Q: What does the model say about fanaticism in complex topics?
Fanaticism arises when complex issues are oversimplified; people move to extremes as a result of a filtering process that rewards certainty and punishes nuance, driving those in the middle away.
Unholy War: A Conversation with Tucker Carlson on DarkHorse
Q: What is your read on Netanyahu's leadership and its impact on U.S. policy?
Netanyahu is a highly capable, strategic leader whose actions influence U.S. foreign policy; his leadership style and regional ambitions shape how allies and adversaries respond, sometimes strengthening cooperation but often escalating tensions and complicating peaceful diplomacy.
Unholy War: A Conversation with Tucker Carlson on DarkHorse
Q: What do you see as the core threat to the West's ability to sustain its democratic institutions?
The threat comes from a combination of escalating tribalism, the co-option of political power by a few, and the deliberate erosion of checks and balances, which is being accelerated by a global narrative that pits groups against each other and discourages open, nuanced discussion.
Round ‘Em Up! The 308th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
