Husband and Wife, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, are evolutionary biologists who spend their time exploring human nature. They’re both on the political left, with careers as professors.

Now, they’re hosts on the Dark Horse Podcast, operating as exiled professors. 

In our episode, we discuss the fundamental problem with the phrase “Follow The Science”, how we save our collective consciousness, and what human civilization must do to continue growing and progressing into our potential while also maintaining our existence and our foundations.

William Barr is no stranger to the Department of Justice having spent time at the DOJ during Reagan’s, H. W. Bush’s and Trump’s presidencies. He’s in fact one of only two people to hold the role of Attorney General twice. His record is characterized by tough on crime policy as well as a strict, constitutional interpretation of the law. 

AG Barr’s new book, One Damn Thing After Another, chronicles the rollercoaster of events that took place while he was the Attorney General under President Trump and he joins me to discuss it all: the russia collusion fabrication, COVID, the BLM race riots, the 2020 election and more. Plus, we’ll get his thoughts on the unprecedented leak from the Supreme Court and the current DOJ’s January 6th investigations and arrests.

Real Time with Bill Maher hits its 20th year on the air next year. It’s been Bill’s vehicle to challenge, and often mock, politics of the day from a left perspective. But Bill’s one of those old school liberals you don’t see much of these days–an adamant defender of free speech and critic of wokeness.

With Russia and Ukraine news right now, we revisit President Trump’s presence on the world stage and his relationship with Russia versus that of President Biden. We’ll also discuss left wing media’s misinformation and dishonesty the last two years, and what it would take for Bill to vote republican.

Harmeet K. Dhillon has been a lawyer for 30 years, founder of the Dhillon Law Group and The Center for Religious Liberty, and regular defender of the Constitution.
 
Harmeet has landed on the national stage for several cases– privacy violations and defamations from the mainstream media, election law, and most recently multiple lawsuits against COVID policies of the last 2 years, including The Daily Wire’s own lawsuit against OSHA’s tyrannical vaccine mandate. It was the very first litigation in the country filed against the mandate– which, if you hadn’t heard…we won.
 
In this episode, Harmeet and I dive into the details on how this became our fight, just how close we came to losing our freedom and how The Daily Wire and other businesses fought and were victorious against tyranny.

David Horowitz joins us to discuss his journey from the far left to the right side of the political aisle. After growing up in a communist household at the height of the Cold War, Horowitz became a prominent figure of the far left and a prolific radical author in the 1960s and 70s.
 
In the 80s however, David announced his support for a Reagan presidency, alienating himself from his former friends, party, and the cultural elite that once praised his work.  In this episode, we will discuss how he found his way on the complete opposite end of the political spectrum. We’ll also discuss his experience advocating for the Left’s radical ideas and his latest book, “The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America.”

Four years ago, Hillbilly Elegy was a well regarded memoir, now, with its 2020 Netflix adaptation, the work has become critically panned and the subject of endless controversy. The author, J.D. Vance, wrote about his upbringing in the Appalachian regions of Kentucky and Middletown, Ohio. A look into the history and values in this area of the country, it was recommended by mainstream outlets and cultural leaders in mass for insight into the plights of the white working class that impacted the 2016 election. That praise was short lived, however, when the nearly unanimous edict came down from the media that the trials of impoverished white Americans were insignificant and should be ignored. J.D. joins the show to discuss the book, the media’s harsh shift, and how conservatives can connect with the Appalachian and Rust Belt regions of the country moving forward.
