I got one but Brett may refuse to answer and as a fellow married man I can understand why he would.
As an evolutionary biologist you know that men and women are NOT the same and that over time each sex has developed different character traits and methods to increase their chances of successful reproduction. We know that men and women react differently on both a mental and an emotional level to certain stimuli. While not all women do, most would respond with fear or panic upon seeing something they perceive as a threat like a snake or a spider where as a man is less likely to. Knowing and acknowledging that the way men and women behave and respond as well as think does differ how can we justify the idea that while not every man is capable of governance/leadership, we pretend like as if any woman can? There are no matriarchies in human history and yet today we act like as if that has to be because of sexism and not something like perhaps the fact that the way women would typically govern differs from how men do and in such a way that the feminine society doesn't last long enough to make the history books.
Good question, thanks. Will see if I can fit this in since I will be discussing about recent trends of women making far bigger strides in the labour market and academia compared to men.
Fantastic idea to field audience questions it's not often folks without name recognition get the time of day from well respected voices in the biology space, thanks for asking.
A few years ago Bret and Del Bigtree did a Highwire episode together and Bret went into great detail about a discovery a decade earlier with genetically modified mice popular across research areas but produce flawed results because of some biotech GMO defect. Bret spoke about the alarming lack of success bringing the issue to light. Now that Brett's pandemic podcasts pals are heavy hitters in Washington what official actions are underway or done?
My days in Washington date from Watergate and much has changed over half a century but what endures is old networks and gossip.. more drama and gossip than a Latin soap opera.. since Bret is so close to RFK Jr and their hearts in public health would Bret please share the stories about how Bret's father became the trailblazing icon & patent guru in biotech as a result Bobby's father appointing Brett's dad to the patent role. Everyone loves to hear about stars aligning across time and generations. Was Bret's dad an influence to study biology?
Kinda fuzzzy memory if it was Bret & Heather in 2022 or 2023 but years ago in a discussion centered on "Covid vaccines" and Heather says broadly, "I believe Dr. Jay Couey is correct in calling them transfections not vaccines if we're being accurate... "
Can we be accurate people are dying and damaged and truth plus accuracy will help. Dr. Jay and Heather are correct these are decades old It's flab tools that 1999 Biotech death of Jesse Gelsinger made famous as the final nail in the coffin of gene therapy fever dreams because NON-SELF proteins even to repair a genetic flaw causes auto-immunity like a mismatched transplant.. We are in 2026 and the most brilliant biologist should explain the difference between mRNA TRANSFECTIONS and what has been historically deployed as vaccines.
Ask Bret about the role his father played in 'influencing' public opinion -- just as Bret does now. From others who have investigated Bret and his family history, it has been indicated Bret (and his wife, Heather(?) are controlled opposition -- along with Robert Malone, Jill Glasspool, Fauci, Birx, Redfield, etc., etc., etc. (Sources: Mark Kulazc of Housatonic Live on YT; George Webb at georgewebb.substack.com and on X @realgeorgewebb1; Peter Duke of The Duke Report on YT). For some actual clarity, it would be vastly interesting to have one of the sources mentioned interviewing Bret. Perhaps you could contact one of them and inquire as to what questions could be incorporated into your interview.
Recommend listening/reading material Brough forth by George Webb, boots-on-the-ground, investigative journalist (georgewebb.substack.com, on X @realgeorgewebb1 and on YT at George Webb, Investigative Journalist) AND the work of Mark Kulacz, in particular. Kulacz has a YT channel of Housatonic Live (1,2, or 3 -- depending on which is canceled at any given time), along with a tremendous repository of work files (you'll have to request where to find now). Consider Bret's family history and affiliations, along with all the gaslighting during C19. Peter Duke of The Duke Report on YT has also proffered videos of the Weinsteins.
Mni is a Lakota word for Water and goes beyond any translatable word in the English language. The fragmenting of Mni into simple English nouns would provide a rough translation and lose most of the word’s true meaning and essential idea of “Water as a Being.” So I will attempt to explain Mni in a way that might make some sense in English.
To begin, Mni does not literally mean “Water.” There are several far-reaching concepts based in the language of Lakota cosmology that one needs to know to even begin to understand the respect and honor that is given daily to the Mni. The Ni (nee) is “life” and could also mean “mother’s milk” or a “mother’s breast.” This is where the “M” of Mni becomes translatable as “you and me” but also becomes a little more understandable if we say Mni is “you and me of that which carries or causes feeling with another through itself.” Like a mother who is the carrier of Water, Mni is an action of living. I’m sure other Lakota know deeper meanings of Mni.
The Story of Mni
Water is a First Consciousness bestowed upon Mother Earth. First Consciousness means the awareness of the movement that sustains life in a continuum. Lakota people have Mni in their creation story as blue blood (water); thus, Water provides a shining mirror to the universe, its transparency offers a model and a path to creation. It produces synergy and becomes “Water as a Being.”
Water is the time and space understood by Mother Earth as she holds the womb of all creation within her: oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, creeks, streams, rains, floods, waves, humidity, wetness, dampness, hurricanes, tornadoes, rainbows, and the teardrops of babies.
“Water as a Being” creates with the sun, moon, stars, winds, earth, fire, and the life of all living beings sentient or that which is thought of as non-sentient. The Lakota have always known the connection of Mni and have encoded the living meanings of things seen and unseen by the delicate and fragile human eye.
I like to say, “Water is a cup of the stars. When you put that cup of Water to your mouth and drink, you are drinking a cup of the stars. You see the glimmering lights and reflections of the sun on the waters of the earth.”
Returning to a Place of Prayer and Balance
When you reintroduce a native species to an ecological system there is an ecological waterfall called a “trophic cascade,” the returned species affects all the other species around it; life starts at the top and cascades to the bottom, influencing all lives. Indigenous peoples’ return to the land, to a place of prayer and balance where the energy, the coded languages, remembers the lands and the lands remember the languages spoken to it—this is the First Consciousness being nourished.
One of the First Consciousness is Water, Mni. Native species change the courses of the behavior of the waters—the rains and storms that bring the waters and the snow, drizzle, mists, and fog. The buffalo also did this. They stampeded the wild prairies of the Great Plains in Central North America and encouraged the vast aquifers such as the Oglala Aquifer, an underground sea of life, a sea of Mni. This is the true Mni Wakan of the Grandmother Earth. And, Wakan is “to make something live or make something die.” I often describe Wakan as “consciously applying mystery to all things.”
+--+
Now, if you go deeper into Indigenous peoples, you can see the modernity and then so-called primitive people. You don't need to be in contact, in relationship, and in communication, have a language with all other life-technology taking us away from Earth because we feel like we're elite to anything having to do with Earth. That's why we want to go to a dead planet called Mars. So they're about controlling, getting you and all of us away from being magic...is how to use tools of the Earth properly. Not, you know, we should not abuse water, the air, the land, the food, anything. So when it comes to animacy, I think it's a Western term also, and so we get away from the Western terms. We start seeing that, oh, we are becoming Earth as we're born into this physical dimension. We are becoming Earth. And then as we are living during this time, we're alive. We are becoming Earth. And when we are finished with this body, we are becoming Earth.

I tried to go through the history that I know of and the studies that I have researched from where educational processes started. And usually, when I say young, we're talking college age or more. And so I find I just finished a semester at Union Theological Seminary in New York and graduate and postgrad students, they either were angry or sad or just, you know, in shock that they have never heard through the whole semester, after years of study, that they've never heard the Native history as we know it. We've always been overrun with Western historical domination as they see it, that they came here for benevolence, they were brought a civilization, they brought us cars and tech, you know, all these things. It was the ships that came while we stood on the shore, watching the ships come, welcoming, abundance, giving. And then they came and they took what we offered, but they took more. And that's where we're at. And now we're seeing a whole abandonment of spirit and put into the ideas of a dogmatic soul. So when I approach these peoples in these educational institutions often come with those two perspectives, knowing that Native people also are forgetting our own perspective and mimicking the Western educational process.
Again, I'll go with cultural etymology of this language English. And the word education where does it come from? Well, it comes from scholars and whatever, but the etymology of the word education, what does it mean? It means to adduce or seduce. And there's different evolutions of the word, and in one dictionary I saw before 1940 says, of course, to adduce or seduce, but it also says "to draw out or lead away from" - and get this - "to lead away from spirit." And what has it done? Replaced, draw out, or lead away from spirit. So what that's done is replace it with information and knowledge. And that's control by domination. Here's how: So schools started out in the Catholic churches, because the monks, they drew the monks away when they were boys to read and script and to keep this educational process moving. So they were away from nature and only of men's minds. And so this is how it's been proceeding since then. So it's a controlled education where you're instructed mechanically to get the right answer. Where in Native is that we are shown the possibilities, and we're able to choose freely about what we're shown. We're never told to do this or say that or we were shown because it was a living and is a living language. Learning is a living, it's not a stagnant informational data bank. So this is how education is to me, and how I view it and how I try to explain it to college age, grad, and post grad.
*
So we get to a certain stage in Western society, I'd never call it a culture, but a society trying to figure out its birth and how to become mature. Whatever it's doing it has slowed down natural relationships. It took us out of the land, put us into factories, put us into institutions where you can learn a trade. It kept giving you jobs that had nothing to do with Earth. And so if you're living, you're working in this box called a factory, and the farmers out there are becoming less and less. Even the farming, the ideas of farming are foreign. And I think that when the technical language came out, we dropped another natural umbilical cord to and with Earth. And so we severed that relationship. So you can see this gradual severing of relationships to Earth with Earth, that now we have to have retreats to learn empathy again. We do all these Westernized versions of piecing ourselves back together and as Indigenous folks where we're getting that way now, but a lot of traditional people don't need that. We don't need environmental movements. You know, Wild Earth is a foreign concept. There are a lot of words that organizations use to rationalize why we need to teach how to be human beings. So you see technology, the Industrial Machine Age taught us this language of disconnection, taught us things like plug-in, get connected. You know, all these words that came along to fill that information that could be controlled by authority now in the Western process. John Gatto, who won the New York State Teacher of the Year award in 2008, upon his retirement, specifically said, "It takes 12 years to learn how to become reflexive to authority." And who is the authority? Who is controlling information? Who's controlling education? Who's controlling knowledge? And now they want to control Wisdom, and all wisdom means is common sense.
I got one but Brett may refuse to answer and as a fellow married man I can understand why he would.
As an evolutionary biologist you know that men and women are NOT the same and that over time each sex has developed different character traits and methods to increase their chances of successful reproduction.

Controlled opposition? Really? Bret is such an independent thinker, it has gotten him into a lot of trouble and pain - that would make no sense.

Will you be taping the interview? I am out of the country so I won't be able to watch real time. Please advise. Thank you.
Yes it is on Monday now. You will get an email when it is out
Thank you. So glad I won't have to miss it. I appreciate that you're making it available for those of us who cannot attend.
How about a discussion of alt left voices. You'll find plenty of them in Minneapolis right now...
