The Raw, Unprocessed Truth: The 345th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying
Summary
Dr. Heather Heyn and Dr. Brett Weinstein discuss the Darien Gap, analyzing a Harper's article that frames the post-2025 migration slowdown as a US policy failure. Heyn argues the surge was a coordinated invasion disguised as refugee flows, noting the rapid timing of the influx and the presence of Chinese military-age men. The duo also reviews the 2026 Fat Bear Week winner and promotes signed copies of their books for the upcoming holidays.
