Is government the right tool to force “healthy choices,” or does that create a slippery slope that kills freedom and backfires on public health? This episode digs into Make America Healthy Again (MAHA), SNAP junk-food restrictions, nicotine policy, and a first-in-the-nation proposal to ban tobacco sales for anyone born after 2006—probing the real tradeoffs between education, mandates, and personal responsibility in a polarized era where big government and big food often pull the strings behind the scenes.

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS From Bloomberg-style soda limits to SNAP rules that block soda and candy, the conversation asks whether taxpayer-funded programs should require nutritious purchases—and if that improves outcomes or simply punishes the poor while entrenching corporate interests that shaped the old food pyramid in the first place. The discussion tackles how MAHA is changing the national debate, what evidence exists on diet-related costs, and why “education vs. bans” isn't an easy binary when incentives and messaging are captured by politics and industry alike. The episode also unpacks Massachusetts' “born-after” tobacco proposal that would permanently bar adults born after 2006 from buying cigarettes, vapes, or pouches—even at 21—raising equal-protection questions, black-market risks, and cross-border leakage, while spotlighting a state trendsetter whose tobacco rules often go national. Listeners will hear how courts have already upheld a similar Brookline local ordinance, what that legal logic means statewide, and why such age-cohort bans might escalate prohibition's unintended consequences. Beyond policy, the show explores culture: why tribes flip views based on “who” proposes the rule, how social media amplifies contrarian reactions, and what practical, principle-driven solutions could reduce harm without turning adults into permanent wards of the state. Expect frank talk, real-world examples, and a challenge: can a country teach better choices, protect taxpayers, and still respect liberty in an information environment where both government and corporations have incentives to mislead ? If the future is “education first,” what should that look like—and who can be trusted to deliver it without capture or censorship; if it's “policy first,” which rules actually reduce harm without creating new inequities, costs, and criminalization that spill over to courts, jails, and underground markets ?

From the Celtic fairies who bake human blood into deadly cakes to the Filipino Aswang who slides her hollow tongue through windows at night, every culture on Earth has created its own terrifying version of the vampire—and most are far more disturbing than Dracula.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: True crime lovers will most readily admit that the strange cases are the juiciest. Some cases are bizarre, some are odd, others can be brutal… but whatever your preference, I've got some of the weirdest ones to share with you. (Strange Stories of True Crime) *** It seems most all states or territories in northern America have their own version of a big, hairy, bipedal creature we've all come to call Bigfoot. Ohio has their own, which has been dubbed the “Grassman.” (Buckeye Bigfoot of Ohio) *** Residents of Christchurch and the surrounding areas of Canterbury in New Zealand would suffer two huge earthquakes within six months – one September 2010, then another February 2011. And if the hundreds of souls who perished wasn't enough, it appears the earth cracking open as it did unleashed something evil from the bowels of hell. (The Earthquake That Released a Demon) *** Sadly, child abuse and murder is not only a modern crime – it has been happening since the beginning of human history. But some cases are so severe or brutal, they rise to the surface and point out just how evil some people can be – such as Elizabeth Brownrigg, who was hanged for her crimes – and deservedly so. (The Inhumane Actions of Elizabeth Brownrigg) *** Slicked back hair, black cape, long white canines, maybe a mesmerizing stare… the image of the vampire has become iconic, if not a bit predictable. But bloodsucking creatures around the world aren't all the same – and while the traditional look of a vampire might frighten some, there are much more terrifying versions to fear in the night.

Is AI the new “Need” from The Lorax—a shiny invention that looks harmless but comes with hidden costs? That's the tough question we're asking in today's episode, and the answer might change how you see both technology and energy forever. We're diving headfirst into whether artificial intelligence is truly a tool for abundance or just another story of progress that leaves us worse off. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty! The Politicks Podcast! Be sure to subscribe to the standalone Politicks Podcast feed. This is the absolute best way to support the show! Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. And remember, they're all Blood Suckers! Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Think about it: the Lorax warned us about cutting down truffula trees for a quick buck, but are we repeating that story today with AI? People celebrate chatbots, automation, and algorithms, but nobody asks the deeper question—what powers it all? The servers behind ChatGPT don't run on “good vibes” or environmental slogans. They run on massive amounts of energy, and right now, that means fossil fuels. In this episode, we break down the uncomfortable truth: without fossil fuels, AI doesn't exist. Net Zero activists may dream of a world powered by renewables, but the demand for AI is exploding faster than windmills and solar farms can keep up. From corporate ESG mandates to government green agendas, we're seeing a collision between fantasy and reality—and that's where the future of innovation hangs in the balance. But here's the twist: like the Lorax story, there's more at play than just the danger of cutting too many trees—or in this case, burning too much fuel. What if AI isn't just a flashy “need” but actually a tool that unlocks real abundance? From customer service to medical breakthroughs, from fighting human trafficking to expanding education, AI has the power to lift people up. The real question is: will we let fear and bad policy choke off that potential before it has the chance to grow? This episode isn't just about AI or energy—it's about how we think about progress itself. Is creation good, or should we always apologize for building? Is innovation dangerous, or is it the only way we survive and thrive? If you've ever wondered what the Lorax would say about ChatGPT, fossil fuels, and the future of human flourishing, you can't afford to miss this conversation.

A few weeks back I had former Detroit Piston Scot Pollard on the pod and this week I have current…Piston fan Kirk Wilcox. Both men have Piston jerseys with their last names on them. To which I wonder, is it tougher as an adult to wear a personalized jersey? Kirk and I talk about Warped Tour, the ‘04 “Going to Work” Pistons (appropriating blue-collar costumes), Marc Maron's Doug Allen act, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (via Amity Shlaes's The Forgotten Man). FDR was stealing gold, killing pigs, technocrat'ing with chickens—and he still gets praise today, even though he reigned before “The Big Switch.” We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!

Is Canada making a huge mistake by pivoting away from the U.S.? The U.S.–Canada relationship has been one of the most stable alliances in modern history – but political shifts, global instability, and rising threats from China, Russia, and Iran are testing that bond like never before. In this hard-hitting episode, we dig into the reality behind the headlines and ask the tough question: Can Canada survive – economically or militarily – without the United States at its side?

Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. And remember, they're all Blood Suckers! Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS For decades, Canada and the U.S. have fought alongside each other in major conflicts, defended shared interests, and benefited from an open, secure global trade system. But now, Canadian leaders are entertaining new defense and trade alignments, some even calling for a “pivot” away from Washington. Is this bold independence… or dangerous overconfidence? Joining me is Anthony De Luca-Baratta of Young Voices, who argues that the U.S.–Canada partnership isn't just about friendship – it's about survival. From shared geopolitical goals to economic interdependence, we explore why both nations need each other more than ever. We also unpack Canada's defense spending gap, its reliance on U.S. protection, and what that means in a world where American voters are increasingly skeptical of global policing. We don't shy away from the hard truths: America's foreign policy has been messy, sometimes overreaching, and costly – and Canadians have followed us into conflicts with questionable returns. But what happens if the U.S. steps back completely? Could Canada stand on its own in a hostile world, or would it be forced into dangerous compromises with regimes that don't share its values? If you care about national sovereignty, North American security, and the future of one of the world's most important alliances, you can't afford to miss this episode. This is more than just U.S.–Canada relations – it's a case study in how nations balance independence, alliances, and self-interest in an increasingly unstable world. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

What happens when we stop asking “should we?” and only focus on “can we?” Are we walking straight into a real-life version of Jurassic Park… but with federal funding and zero public input? In this episode, we're diving into the controversial—and frankly unsettling—world of environmental disruption: cloud seeding, de-extincting animals like the dire wolf, and the broader question of whether humans are dangerously close to playing God.

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Isaiah Menning from the American Conservation Coalition joins the show to make the case for what many see as radical environmental innovation. He argues that technologies like cloud seeding and bringing back extinct species aren't just tools for science fiction—they're critical for solving real-world problems like drought, ecological collapse, and even reviving American traditions. But is it really that simple? We explore why some environmentalists are pushing for genetically modified trees, resurrected woolly mammoths, and redirected rainfall… and why skeptics are waving red flags. From the risks of long-term ecological side effects to the ethical minefield of tampering with nature, Brian asks the hard questions that most legacy media won't touch. This isn't just about science—it's about who we trust, what we value, and whether we actually know what we're doing. Brian pushes back hard on the idea that “more tech = more good,” drawing on historical parallels like DDT, COVID-era mandates, and the blind trust in institutions that later admitted, “Oops.” Are we once again being sold the illusion of safety, only to find out decades later that we were the experiment? If you've ever felt uneasy about our increasing obsession with controlling the environment “for our own good,” you won't want to miss this episode. This is the kind of discussion that demands your attention—because once the gene is out of the bottle, there's no putting it back in.

Why are your tax dollars funding animal cruelty—and why hasn't anyone stopped it yet? In today's jaw-dropping episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we expose one of the biggest blind spots in American politics: factory farming and its disturbing alliance with government funding. From hormone-injected meat to unethical animal treatment, we break down exactly how federal bureaucracies—yes, even ones you've never heard of—are propping up industrial agriculture using your money. This isn't just about food. It's about corruption, cronyism, and what happens when we let the state dictate what's on our plate. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty! The Politicks Podcast!

We tackle the deeper questions: Why are taxpayers footing the bill for Big Ag's bad behavior? What alternatives exist that don't involve banning meat or forcing a vegan agenda? And how can we pursue liberty and moral responsibility at the same time? We also highlight real-world solutions like Thomas Massie's PRIME Act and the recent Supreme Court rollback of Chevron Deference, showing how decentralization and consumer awareness are finally starting to push back. You'll learn how some states are taking their food sovereignty seriously—and how small farmers are finding ways to thrive without bureaucratic interference. If you've ever looked at a grocery store steak and wondered what's really behind the label—or if you're just tired of being forced to subsidize industries that don't align with your values—this episode is for you. It's time to reclaim your dinner plate from the hands of unelected bureaucrats.❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Why can't you sell grandma's famous cookies without jumping through government hoops? What if the biggest thing holding back local food entrepreneurs isn't the competition… it's the red tape? In this episode, we dive into the absurdity of cottage food laws, the bureaucratic roadblocks facing small business owners, and why government “help” is often anything but helpful.

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS We're talking with writer and policy analyst Noah Gould, who breaks down his bombshell article from National Review about how Michigan's food entrepreneurs are getting choked out by outdated, confusing, and downright nonsensical regulations. Want to butter toast at an event? Better have a separate license. Want to scale past $25K in revenue? Hope you enjoy navigating six different regulatory agencies. This isn't just a Michigan problem – it's a national trend. The government claims it's keeping you “safe” with all these rules, but grocery stores don't even trust the bureaucrats. They demand third-party certifications anyway. So why does the state still get to decide which food is “worthy” of your plate? Brian and Noah don't stop at highlighting the problem – they expose the cronyism, the fear-based exceptions, and the outright hypocrisy in how regulations are enforced. And most importantly, they lay out how we can fight back: with smarter laws, voluntary standards, and a market that rewards real value – not political connections. Whether you're a food truck dreamer, a liberty-minded policy nerd, or just sick of overpriced junk food being your only option, this is the conversation you need to hear. This episode will get you fired up, hungry for change, and ready to push back against the bureaucratic nonsense that's killing small business in America.

Is the war on PBMs really about helping patients - or just another power grab dressed up as reform? In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we rip the mask off the growing crusade against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). Critics claim PBMs are behind rising drug costs, but is that the full story - or just the version Big Pharma wants you to believe? If you've ever looked at your pharmacy receipt and wondered why your medication costs more than your electric bill, you won't want to miss this deep dive. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!

And remember, they're all Blood Suckers! Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Brian welcomes economist and researcher Satya Marar from the Mercatus Center to break down how PBMs actually work, why they're being blamed for high drug prices, and what the real drivers of healthcare inflation are. Together, they dismantle the most common talking points against PBMs, including rebate manipulation, lack of transparency, spread pricing, and claims of collusion with insurers. It's a masterclass in separating economic fact from political fiction. We also unpack the emotional tug-of-war between small-town pharmacies and corporate chains. What happens when “Fred's Pharmacy” can't compete with CVS and Walgreens? Is it worth paying more for drugs to keep the local guy afloat - or are there smarter ways to balance access, cost, and community values without wrecking the system? But here's the kicker: what if the real culprit isn't the PBMs at all, but a broken government pricing system and global freeloading by other countries? Yeah, we go there. From Medicare's price models to how the U.S. subsidizes R&D for the world, we expose what's actually driving your pill prices through the roof. If you're sick of the soundbites and want real answers about the mess that is American drug pricing - this episode delivers.

Are we truly the freest country when it comes to speech - or are we just better at hiding the censorship? In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dig deep into the reality of free speech in America versus the rest of the world - and it's probably not what you've been told. From corporate collusion during COVID to the dangerous misuse of "antisemitism" as a political weapon, this conversation isn't just timely - it's urgent. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Why do we protect offensive speech in the first place? Is there real value in letting unpopular or even "unsavory" opinions into the public square? Gary Frankel, a policy researcher and fierce defender of civil liberties, joins me to unpack America's First Amendment uniqueness - and whether that protection is really as ironclad as we think. But it's not all sunshine and freedom. We explore how both the left and the right are increasingly playing the censorship game - not always with government power, but with cultural influence and legal threats. And yes, we hit the hypocrisy of Big Media being "brought to you by Pfizer" while telling you what information is safe to consume. We also zoom out globally - from the UK's criminalization of Facebook posts to Poland's cultural pushback - and compare how nations handle speech when cultures collide. Spoiler alert: Europe is 0-for-2 on protecting liberty. This is a no-BS, common-sense breakdown of where free speech really stands. If you value open dialogue, healthy disagreement, and freedom from government-mandated narratives, this is the episode you need to hear. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty! The Politicks Podcast!

Why are politicians trying to ban the safer alternatives to cigarettes… while leaving cigarettes untouched? What's the real motivation behind targeting products like Zyn and vapes? Is this about protecting public health—or protecting power and control? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In this punchy, eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dive headfirst into the war on nicotine alternatives. Host Brian Nichols sits down with health policy analyst and harm reduction fellow Sophia Hamilton to break down why the government is so obsessed with regulating—if not outright banning—products like Zyn pouches. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with outdated narratives, political grandstanding, and generational ignorance. Sophia walks us through how the government's crackdown on Juul created a black market mess, how Zyn emerged as a cleaner, safer alternative, and why politicians like Chuck Schumer are frothing at the mouth to ban it next. Even though studies show these products are far less harmful than traditional tobacco, that's not stopping the Nanny State from stepping in. Brian and Sophia also dig into the generational divide fueling this hysteria—highlighting how Gen Z is rejecting alcohol and cigarettes but is being punished for making safer, informed choices. The hypocrisy is rich: the same boomers who once fell for Big Tobacco ads now want to control what young people can and can't use, despite overwhelming data and personal autonomy. And let's not forget the role of the FDA, which seems more interested in gatekeeping and bureaucracy than in approving harm-reduction products that actually help people quit smoking. This isn't just a public health failure—it's a prime example of government overreach making life worse, not better. You do not want to miss this one. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!

Leeches don't get a lot of love. They're slimy, wriggly, and, well, they suck—blood that is. But there's a lot to learn about the lowly leech. Led by a troupe of Smithsonian experts, we'll discover how these toothy hangers-on wormed their way into medical practices, performance art, and EVERY human cavity. Yes, even that one. It's a journey of discovery from the swamp to the stage and deep into the vaults of the Smithsonian. And it just may leave you with a little more appreciation (dare we say, love?) for the bloodsuckers.Guests: Anna J. Phillips, research zoologist and curator of Clitellata and parasitic worms at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural HistoryRachel Anderson, project specialist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American HistoryJosh T.

Ray Vahey is the founder and CEO of BitChute, a video-sharing platform created to champion free expression and resist the increasing push for digital censorship. A software engineer by training, Ray launched BitChute in 2017 in response to growing deplatforming and algorithmic suppression on mainstream tech platforms. Under his leadership, BitChute has grown into one of the most recognized platforms for censorship-resistant content, serving tens of millions of users monthly. Unlike many Silicon Valley CEOs, Ray has taken a bold and principled stand for digital freedom, refusing to install monitoring or compliance tools even under government pressure. In 2025, BitChute became the only major platform to fully withdraw from the UK rather than comply with Ofcom's demands under the Online Safety Act. This move made headlines worldwide and established Ray as a global thought leader in privacy rights, decentralization, and civil liberties. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty!

In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we take a hard look across the Atlantic at the crime surge and cultural collapse unfolding in London. Financial journalist Daniel Fessahaye joins the show to expose how soft policing, unchecked immigration, and political correctness are eroding one of the West's greatest cities. With thefts skyrocketing and blasphemy laws creeping into policy, Daniel walks us through the real-world consequences of refusing to confront uncomfortable truths. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS We're not just talking about crime stats — we're talking about what happens when a society loses its moral footing. From mobile phone thefts exploding 40% in a year to literal thought crimes resulting in jail time, the UK is becoming a cautionary tale. Daniel reveals how cultural appeasement and political cowardice have turned London into a testing ground for woke experiments that hurt the very people they claim to protect. But it's not just about London. The same playbook is being run here in America — open borders, weak-on-crime policies, identity politics run amok. Sound familiar? This conversation is a warning shot for Western societies everywhere: abandon your values, and you'll lose your culture, your safety, and your future. If you're tired of being gaslit by media narratives, if you feel like common sense has gone out the window, this is the episode you can't afford to skip. We're talking real talk. No fluff. No censors. Just hard-hitting truths that most people are too afraid to say out loud. Watch now and ask yourself: Are we next? We have a new show on Lions of Liberty! The Politicks Podcast!
