  1. I keep hearing people talk about David Pakman as some kind of honest interlocutor. He is not. He is closeminded and power-hungry, and willing to say anything necessary to push forward his agenda, imposing his thoughts without limit on everyone in the country in the name of his own self-righteousness.

  2. Joe, given a long enough period of low unemployment, the neighborhood *will get better*.

  3. Joe, this isn't about slavery. This is about the collapse of positive cultural assets among "disadvantaged" populations. See: the Moynihan Report. See: Fatherlessness. Honestly, this goes back to the old WEB DuBois vs. Booker T Washington debate. DuBois won, and Washington lost. NEITHER of them should have lost, and we're paying for that now.

  4. Bret, you're assuming that "the system" is trying to keep black people down. Please demonstrate that, rather than just asserting it.

  5. The president is only "essential to changing our course" if we abdicate our sovereignty to the Federal government. The wellbeing of 44 million people will not be solved by one man, thousands of miles away. The wellbeing of 44 million people will be solved by the efforts *of those 44 million people*, as long as the rest of us don't get in the way.

  6. The conquistadores had a culture that gave them the ability to dominate the Inca. They then attempted to assimilate the Inca to that culture. Would it have been better to leave the Inca in a culture that was vulnerable to being dominated by any European power that was not enlightened enough not to take advantage of their dominance? Was there any culture anywhere in the world that would not have taken advantage of that dominance? Including the other cultures of the Americas? Singling out the conquistadores as being uniquely bad, and the Inca as uniquely good, does not hold water. Heck, the conquistadores would not have been able to conquer the Aztecs, if they had not had the support of the neighboring tribes who actively hated the atrocities the Aztecs inflicted on them. Assimilation and cooperative progress together, are the answers here. You know this -- spreading tools like STEM is what you're all about, and I couldn't agree with you more.

  7. I wonder, Bret, after talking about the necessity of black fathers, you're going to call out "BLM" ideology when it talks about actively opposing the nuclear family...

  8. What does the data say, if we map mass incarceration against crime rates?

  9. Bret: "This movement is about economics and not about policing" -- Well duh. This only happened because people were put out of work by the COVID shutdown. That was a blunder by our expert / elite class, who are under the impression that they can miraculously solve a given problem without causing massive other problems elsewhere in our society.

  10. 7:00 How does a person calling in to 911 (or the police) know whether a situation is going to escalate or not? It's only a matter of time before some "public service officers" are caught in a firefight, and ask to be armed. Besides, they've got unarmed police in Britain. They have riots there too.

  11. Bret, do you really think that Trump doesn't want to include every American citizen in American greatness?

  12. Joe Biden, if elected, will be mentioned by future historians in the same breath as James Buchanan. Too weak to prevent civil war.

  13. Humanity will not be free of the danger of SARS COV 2 until we develop herd immunity. You may envy New Zealand now, but they're in the same position the pre-Columbian Americas were. The only way out is through.

  14. Bret, lockdown has caused riots already, and driven us to the brink of civil war. You are not paying attention to all the factors here in making these decisions. We are where we are. Covid will take its share, until our immune systems give us tools to survive.
