Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Drew and I take you through a whirlwind week where politics, world affairs, and tech innovation collide. We dissect Biden's shocking cancer diagnosis and what it means for the country, dig into Bernie Sanders' eyebrow-raising admission about the Democratic Party, and go deep on just how broken the government really is—and how (or if) it can ever be fixed. We tackle the big questions: What does it take to create a thriving middle class? Should we trust the government to spend more and do more, or do we need to completely rethink the machine? Are we living through a crisis of vision, where our leaders offer no North Star to inspire the country? And with news breaking on both the NIH's gain-of-function research and China's clampdown on gene editing, are we prepared for the next wave of scientific disruption?

Tommy and Ben discuss President Trump's policy changes on Syria and his man-crush on its president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, what lifting sanctions on Syria could (and should) look like, more details on how Qatar's plane bribe came together, and Tulsi Gabbard's shocking politicization of the intelligence community. They also talk about the continuing crackdown on journalists and human rights activists by Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, the dire–and indefensible–humanitarian situation in Gaza, the lack of any meaningful progress in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and elections in Portugal, Romania and Poland. Then, Ben speaks with Dr. Feroze Sidwha, a trauma surgeon who has volunteered twice in Gaza, about his experience treating patients in Khan Younis. Finally, Ben and Tommy are forced to endure some selections from this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he breaks down today's biggest stories shaping America and the world. Trump Defends Biden, Blames “Board of Directors” for Border Crisis – In a viral post, President Trump says Joe Biden wasn't behind open borders—his cognitive decline left key decisions to unelected handlers, including Jill and Hunter Biden. New details from a Jake Tapper book and medical insiders back up claims of hidden dementia and cancer diagnoses during Biden's presidency. House Republicans now plan oversight hearings on what they call “the fraud presidency.” Wind for Gas Deal: Trump Trades Turbines for Pipelines – Trump strikes a deal with New York's Governor Hochul: a $5B wind farm off Long Island moves forward in exchange for greenlighting a long-blocked natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania. Critics call it a “dirty green deal,” but Trump allies say it's smart leverage to restore energy reliability. “Golden Dome” Missile Shield Unveiled – Trump formally launches a national missile defense initiative to stop hypersonic threats from China and Russia. The plan combines space-based sensors and interceptors, potentially costing hundreds of billions—unless satellites are leased from Elon Musk. FDA Shifts Course on COVID Shots – Healthy Americans under 65 no longer need routine COVID boosters, the FDA says. Critics say the change came too late and still doesn't address obesity, which remains a top risk factor. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is expected to soon launch a “Take Back Your Health” national campaign. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

In this episode, we sit down again with Victor Davis Hanson, a classicist, military historian, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and author of two dozen books, including most recently “The End of Everything.”In this interview, we dive into the multifaceted dimensions of what he describes as Trump's “counterrevolution” in the foreign policy space, from Canada to China to the Middle East to Ukraine and Russia.What might the end of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza look like?Should Trump have accepted a plane from Qatar's royal family? Was it a good idea to lift U.S. sanctions on Syria's new leader? Is there any truth to rumors of friction between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?Is it possible that Trump actually, in some sense, wanted Mark Carney to win and become Prime Minister of Canada?And how can the United States ensure the Chinese leadership upholds their commitments in a trade agreement, given their track record of not following through?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

President Trump on Tuesday announced a new plan to build a Golden Dome missile defense system. Displaying the design from the Oval Office with his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Space Force General Michael Guetlein, Trump asserted the new defense infrastructure--estimated to cost between $25 billion and $75 billion--will be a necessary layer of security for the homeland that he says “hopefully we never have to use.” U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) has been a longtime advocate for improving America's missile defenses, on the Rundown she discusses this Golden Dome plan, ongoing diplomacy with Russia and Iran, and her efforts to fight EV mandates. Last Thursday, Walmart announced it would be raising its prices due to the impact of President Trump's tariffs. Americans initially wary of tariffs had cited this concern: that tariffs could bring about price hikes that would eventually hit their wallets. With back-to-school shopping along with the summer holidays and barbecues ahead, some businesses are preparing to adjust. Founder and CEO of Storch Advisors and former CEO of Toys "R" Us, Gerald Storch is a retail industry veteran. He joins the podcast to share the true impact of tariffs on America's retail industry.

It's Wednesday, May 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus British national Muslim fighters committed war crimes A recent report from the U.K. parliament found that hundreds of Islamic fighters have returned to England without facing prosecution. British nationals joined the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2019. The group targeted religious minorities and committed many war crimes. Since then, over 400 Islamic State fighters have returned to the U.K. However, the country's government has not prosecuted any of them for international crimes. Christians have faced high levels of persecution from Islamic fighters in Iraq and Syria. Both countries are ranked on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most dangerous to be a Christian.  Ecclesiastes 8:11-12 says, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.” Trump to Putin: “When are we going to end this bloodbath?” U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine on Monday. Trump said Russia and Ukraine would immediately start negotiations toward a ceasefire. He noted that the new Roman Catholic pope, Leo XIV, has offered to host the talks at the Vatican. President Trump warned that the United States would back out of the situation if both sides can't reach an agreement. Listen. TRUMP: “I said, ‘When are we going to end this Vladimir?' I've known him for a long time now. I said, ‘When are we going to end this blood bath?' It's a blood bath. I think it'd be great to have it at the Vatican. There's tremendous bitterness, anger, and I think maybe that could help some of that anger.” Trump dropped $37 million fine against Christian University The Trump administration dropped a $37 million fine against the largest Christian university in America Initially, Biden's Department of Education leveled the fine against Grand Canyon University. Brian Mueller, the president of the university, said, “The facts clearly support our contention that we were wrongly accused of misleading our Doctoral students and we appreciate the recognition that those accusations were without merit.” Ellen Keast, an Education Department spokeswoman, noted, “Unlike the previous administration, we will not persecute and prosecute colleges and universities based on their religious affiliation.” FDA discouraging young, healthy Americans from getting COVID shot On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced new rules for its approval of COVID-19 shots. The FDA said it will require more research before approving yearly COVID-19 boosters for young, healthy Americans.  The shots will still be approved for adults over 65 and for people with health problems that put them at higher risk. FDA officials noted, “The FDA will approve vaccines for high-risk persons and, at the same time, demand robust, gold-standard data on persons at low risk.” Man kills self, injured 4 outside in vitro clinic On Saturday, a car bomb was detonated outside an in vitro fertilization clinic called the American Reproductive Center in Los Angeles.  The blast killed 25-year-old suspect Guy Edward Bartkus and injured four other people. The in vitro fertilization facility was damaged, but the embryos stored inside were saved. Bartkus reportedly left behind a manifesto on a website. In it, he said he wanted to start “a war against pro-lifers” and “begin the process of sterilizing this planet of the disease of life.” Urge 19 Republican Congressmen to DEFUND Planned Parenthood Today, the House Rules Committee will have a hearing and vote on President Trump's “big, beautiful bill” to determine what budget items go to the House floor. If even a single amendment is added, the momentum we've built to stop funding Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion could vanish, reports Liberty Counsel Action. This is the last vote before the bill is placed on the House floor. Two conservative Republicans who voted “present” on Sunday night are also on the Rules Committee. The full House could vote on this bill as early as later today. Remember, there are 220 Republicans and 213 Democrats. Because the GOP majority is so slim, we need every one of them. Three moderate House Republicans are carrying the water for Planned Parenthood and pushing House leaders to continue funding the Murder Giant. Those three pro-abortion Republican Representatives include Mike Lawler (R-NY), Jen Kiggans (R-VA), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). These members are exerting significant pressure on House leadership to give up defunding Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion. We are on the cusp of victory, and we cannot allow this effort to fail. There are 19 key Republicans in leadership who need to hear from us. I've listed them in our transcript today along with a 3-sentence message you could read when you call today at www.TheWorldview.com.  Do not hesitate to leave a voicemail. Call as many of them as you can as early as you can! Email me at Adam@TheWorldview.com to let me know how many Congressmen you and your family members called.

Monica De La Cruz (R-TX) – (202) 225-2531 Kay Arthur, who showed how to study the Bible, died at 91 And finally, Kay Arthur, the beloved co-founder of Precept Ministries International and a pioneering advocate for inductive Bible study, died yesterday in Chattanooga, Tennessee, according to the Roys Report. She was 91. In an announcement on the Precept website, her ministry said,  Kay “will be remembered for her love for the Lord, His Word, and His people.” A prolific author, Arthur wrote more than 100 books and Bible studies over her lifetime including her bestseller, Lord, Teach Me to Study the Bible in 28 Days.  ARTHUR: “People need to discover truth for themselves because God promises in His word that He has given us everything that pertains, not only to life, but also to godliness, so that we might be fitted for every good work, so that nothing can come our way and throw us. “God is doing a work in their lives because the only text that they are looking at is the Bible, which is alive and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. It's a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. It is a light unto our path. It's the very Word by which we live. It's the Sword by which we stand against the enemy." She often said, “When you know what God says, what He means, and how to put His truths into practice, you will be equipped for every circumstance of life.” Through Precept's inductive Bible study method—teaching believers to observe, interpret, and apply Scripture—Arthur equipped millions around the world to study the Bible for themselves.  Indeed, the ministry was heard in 150 countries in 70 different languages.

Following call with Putin, Trump pushes for direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine

US President Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine will "immediately" start negotiating towards a ceasefire, after a phone call with Vladimir Putin. Also: videos show capuchin monkeys kidnapping babies of another species.

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss why law enforcement should take former FBI Director James Comey's "8647" threat against President Donald Trump seriously, review Comey's key role in the Russia collusion hoax, and discuss what former President Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis says about who ran the White House for the last four years. If you care about combating the corrupt media that continue to inflict devastating damage, please give a gift to help The Federalist do the real journalism America needs.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:  First, a bombshell report out of the Washington Post is claiming that the Trump administration has threatened to abandon Israel if they do not end the war in Gaza. But the White House is pushing back, calling the claim “absurd.” We'll have the details. Later in the show—despite President Trump's efforts to broker ceasefire negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, the war shows no signs of slowing. Ukraine and Russia accused each other of launching fresh drone attacks overnight, just hours after Trump spoke directly with Vladimir Putin about reviving direct talks between Kyiv and Moscow.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/19/2025): 3:05pm- In a statement on Sunday, former President Joe Biden's office announced that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer with metastasis to the bone. In response to the news, President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social: “Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.” 3:15pm- While appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel—an oncologist and bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania—said that “there is no disagreement” within the medical community, Joe Biden had cancer while he was president of the United States even if he was only diagnosed last Friday. 3:20pm- Jake Tapper's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president's physical and cognitive decline is due to be released later this week—but many Democrats and mainstream media members, including David Axelrod and Brian Steltzer, are saying the conversation regarding the “cover-up” should be paused given Biden's cancer diagnosis. 3:30pm- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed the “Take It Down Act”—a bill designed to halt the disturbing rise of revenge porn and deep fake imagery. 3:40pm- Ukraine-Russia Peace Negotiations: In a post to Truth Social, President Trump wrote: “Just completed my two-hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of. The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent. If it wasn't, I would say so now, rather than later. Russia wants to do large scale TRADE with the United States when this catastrophic ‘bloodbath' is over, and I agree. There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth.” 3:45pm- On Friday, audio of former President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur was published by Axios. The audio, from interviews that took place in October 2023, was supposed to determine whether Biden's mishandling of classified documents was criminal. In his final report, Hur decided not to charge Biden with a crime, reasoning: “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” 4:05pm- Bill D'Agostino—Senior Research Analyst at Media Research Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to breakdown some of the best (and worst) clips from corporate media including David Axelrod imploring the media to pause all conversations about the Biden Administration's health “cover-up” given the former president's recent cancer diagnosis. 4:40pm- While appearing on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino explained they have reviewed all evidence and concluded that Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death was, as originally reported, a suicide. During the interview, Bongino also revealed that there is no evidence suggesting a larger conspiracy surrounding the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, PA. 5:00pm- At a press conference from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump awarded the Medal of Sacrifice—honoring law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty and their families. President Trump was joined by Congressmen Byron Donalds and Brian Mast. 5:15pm- On Sunday night, the House Budget Committee successfully advanced a Republican tax and spending bill through the committee vote—with the final vote being 17-16 in favor. The One ...

The United Nations humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher has told the BBC that 14,000 babies in Gaza could die within the next two days unless aid can reach them. He said baby food brought into the territory by five trucks on Monday was "a drop in the ocean". Israel has blocked all aid from entering Gaza for the past 11 weeks, saying it was putting pressure on Hamas, which it accuses of stealing aid. The UN says permission has now been given for a further 100 aid trucks to enter Gaza on Tuesday. Medical workers in Gaza say Israeli airstrikes overnight killed at least 60 people. The attacks came just hours after Britain, Canada and France condemned the military operation as "wholly disproportionate". Also in the programme: The United Kingdom and the European Union are placing more sanctions on Russia. Will that have any effect on Moscow to end the war in Ukraine? And, one ultra-marathoner tells us what he's feeling after running across Australia.(Photo: Palestinians wait to receive food cooked by a charity kitchen, in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, May 19, 2025.

The US may be stepping back from its role as mediator in the war in Ukraine, and US long-term borrowing costs rose to their highest level since late 2023 on Monday. US drugmaker Regeneron has agreed to buy 23andMe out of bankruptcy, and the EU and the UK have announced a deal to “reset” their relationship at a summit in London.

After a two-hour phone call on Monday, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin came to very different conclusions about what was agreed. The US said ceasefire negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv would start “immediately.” The Kremlin meanwhile, said there were no deadlines to move towards peace.

And - as Europe prepares to level further sanctions - Robert Fox, defence editor at the Evening Standard, tells us the West needs to prepare for a longer term conflict.Today's episode is presented by Victoria Derbyshire and Vitaly Shevchenko.

BBC Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale speaks to Dovilė Šakalienė, Lithuania's Defence Minister.The Baltic nation, along with its neighbours Latvia and Estonia, share a border with Russia, and have nervously watched the invasion of Ukraine, fearing they could be next.All three countries have had turbulent relationships with their much larger neighbour, Russia. They were annexed by the Soviet Union during the Second World War, and were subject to decades of rule from Moscow up until the end of the Cold War.In 2004, Lithuania joined both the European Union and NATO, and just over a decade later, adopted the Euro as its currency. But despite looking westwards, the country has always kept one eye on developments over its eastern border in Russia.Russia's annexation of the Ukrainian region of Crimea in 2014 set off alarm bells in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, and when the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia began in 2022, Lithuania and its neighbours began fearing - and preparing - for the worst.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

It's Tuesday, May 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Fulani Muslim killed 15 unarmed Nigerian Christians On Saturday, May 17th, armed Fulani Muslim militia opened fire on Agatu Christians in Benue State, Nigeria, killing 15 unarmed men. Throughout that North Central region, the Fulani have also killed 159 Christian residents over the last 40 days, according to TruthNigeria.com.   Pray for Christians in Nigeria, suffering the most severe violence in the world today. Romania turns left after election interference On Sunday, Romania has taken the centrist-left position with the election of a new president named Nicușor Dan. Dan is supportive of Romania's participation in the European Union, and has made moves to approve the homosexual/transgender movement in his country. The more conservative candidate, George-Nicolae Simion, lost the election in a vote of 54% to 46%. Romania is the second largest Eastern European country by population.  The mainstream media is interpreting this election as an international rejection of the Trump agenda.  The back story is that Călin Georgescu, the conservative in the first round of the Romanian presidential election last December, garnered the most votes among the six presidential candidates at that time. After his opponents claimed that Russia had influenced the election through TikTok accounts, Romanian government officials detained Georgescu, canceled that election, and re-set it for May 18th.  Tens of thousands of Romanians protested in the streets back in March. At the time, Elon Musk said, “They just arrested the person who won the most votes in the Romanian presidential election. This is messed up.” Most and least benevolent countries According to this year's Gallup World Happiness Report, the most benevolent countries in the world, judged by donations and volunteer hours, are Indonesia, the United States, Kenya, Gambia, United Arab Emirates, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand. The least benevolent countries are Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco.  Biden announces advanced prostate cancer Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, reports CBS News. On Sunday, President Trump posted on social media that he and First Lady Melania Trump are "saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis." Appearing on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Monday, former Obama health advisor Dr. Zeke Emanuel said the cancer is so advanced, he has had it for many years. SCARBOROUGH: “Doesn't it take some time for prostate cancer to develop to a point where it would spread to the bones?” EMANUEL: “He's had this for many years, maybe even a decade, growing there and spreading.” Dr. Emanuel explained how serious Biden's prostate cancer truly is. EMANUEL: “That Gleason score, that score is from 2 up to 10, and he's at a 9. That means that the cancer doesn't look normal. It looks very abnormal.” Appearing on Fox News with Jesse Waters, talk show host Hugh Hewitt was incredulous. HEWITT: “This is the fourth time, in a little over 100 years, that a Democratic president -- Woodrow Wilson, FDR, John F. Kennedy and now Joe Biden, have hidden crucial details about their health as Commander-in-Chief from the American people. Ronald Reagan did not do that. “And it just astonishes me that in a free republic, we have to worry about our leaders telling us whether they're healthy or not.” Supremes allows Trump to revoke protection for thousands of illegal Venezuelans On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling allowing the Trump administration to deport 350,000 Venezuelans who are presently living in the U.S. on what they call a “humanitarian parole,” reports NBC News. Christian camp sues over foolish transgender mandates The State of Colorado is threatening to shut down a Christian Camp called Idrahaje -- short for “I'd Rather Have Jesus.” The Colorado Department of Early Childhood has refused to grant the camp a religious exemption concerning its transgender policies. This would require the camp to allow boys, pretending to be girls, to sleep, shower, and dress with female campers. The camp has sued the state, with representation from Alliance Defending Freedom. The camp disciples 2,500 to 3,000 students each year with the mission to “win souls to Jesus Christ through the spreading of the Gospel.”  Camp Idrahaje has complied with all regulations until this year when the Colorado government officials released new gender identity rules that became effective on February 14, 2025. 96% of atheists embrace homosexual/transgender agenda The most likely group in America to support the homosexual/transgender agenda are atheists with 96% professing support.  By contrast, 70% of white Evangelical Protestants oppose the lifestyle. Psalm 14:1 describes the atheist this way: "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works.” Mother loses right to disciple daughter Liberty Counsel is defending a mother in the state of Maine who has lost the right to guide the religious upbringing of her 11-year-old girl in a custody case.  This includes taking her daughter to Calvary Chapel services on Sunday.   A state district judge has ruled against the mother, citing “The ‘fear mongering,' paranoia, and anxiety taught by Calvary Chapel has, more likely than not, already had an impact on [the daughter's] childhood development.”   Expert testimony concluded that Calvary Chapel is a cult, the church's pastor a “charismatic” speaker, who spoke “authoritatively” in his messages, and that he asserted his messages were objective truth.   Liberty Counsel is appealing the case to the Maine Supreme Court. They still persecute people who preach about Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 says, “For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.” Housing prices sag Since June 2022, housing prices are sagging in some metro areas around the U.S. — 22.8% in the Austin market, 9.9% in the Phoenix market, 9.2% in the San Francisco market, 9.1% in the San Antonio Market, 7.3% in the Denver market, and 6.7% in the Dallas Market. The Consumer Price Index has also risen about 10% over that period of time. Moody's downgraded America's financial rating And finally, in a year-over-year comparison, the U.S. government is still breaking records for fiscal expenditures running 10% over Fiscal Year 2024. Moody's has downgraded the U.S. as a long-term issuer of bonds by one notch, ending a perfect rating for America over the last 108 years.  No longer does the U.S, government get a Aaa rating, the highest level available. Now, it's an Aa1. Moody's noted that the downgrade "reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns.” The rating organization added that: “Successive U.S. administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs.”   Another independent rating service, named Fitch, downgraded the United States in 2023.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, May 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Is Georgia the canary in the coal mine for a new Soviet-style rise in Eastern Europe? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart What if the war in Ukraine isn't just about Ukraine? What if it's a warning shot for the rest of us? In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we're diving into the underreported political firestorm brewing in Georgia - not the peach state, but the one nestled between Russia and Europe. Lika Kobeshavidze, a Georgian political writer and Young Voices fellow, joins Brian to unpack how her homeland is caught between freedom and authoritarianism, and why you should care. You'll hear firsthand what it was like growing up in a "free" Georgia only to see it slowly slip back into the grip of authoritarianism. From Russian occupation to election rigging, to government crackdowns on peaceful protestors, Lika shares a chilling reality that sounds all too familiar in today's global political climate. This isn't just history - it's happening now. But this episode isn't just doom and gloom. It's a masterclass in persuasion, messaging, and resistance. Brian and Lika dissect the cultural failures that allowed pro-Russia sentiment to creep back into Georgia and explore how smart marketing and narrative-building could turn the tide. Spoiler: it's not that different from what America just went through. We also tackle tough questions like: Is Russia a genuine global threat or just a declining empire with nukes? What's really stopping the EU and NATO from welcoming Georgia in? And how can the West provide meaningful support without triggering global war? Lika doesn't pull punches - and neither does Brian. If you've ever wondered how liberty can die slowly - not with tanks, but with laws - this is the conversation you can't afford to miss. Watch to the end for a rallying call to action and what YOU can do to support freedom in Georgia before it's too late. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart) with code TBNS at checkout for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Eating crickets and meat grown in a lab with cancer-like cells - WHO APPROVED THAT?! Scott Tips, president of the National Health Federation (NHF) and internationally recognized health freedom attorney, joins host, Jamie Belz, to help us understand the deeper mechanisms of Codex Alimentarius, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the global regulatory web that threatens access to nutrient-dense food, natural health remedies, and therapeutic supplements.   As the only health-freedom organization with official INGO (International Non-Governmental Organization) status at Codex, NHF is uniquely positioned to stand up for the public's right to safe, informed, and autonomous healthcare choices on the global stage.   Over the last 70 years, NHF has defended medical choice and challenged the federal government's overreach into nutrition, supplementation, and holistic healing.   Some quick topics/snippets from this episode: Codex creates international food law—affecting everything from vitamin dosage limits to whether or not your meat contains drug residues. Most people don't even know Codex exists. And yet, decisions made there determine what shows up in your grocery cart, your supplement bottle, and your child's plate. The U.S. can now force genetically modified foods into countries that don't want them — not through diplomacy, but through international tribunals using Codex standards as their weapon. Ractopamine is a drug with zero therapeutic value. It makes animals fatter, faster — but it's banned in the EU, China, and Russia. In the U.S., you're probably eating it. When you hear ‘scientific consensus,' be cautious. The phrase is used to bulldoze public concern. You can be banned for calling out corruption at Codex. At CODEX, NHF is the only one defending your right to natural health freedom. The EU, Russia, even Iran — they've stood up for consumer safety at Codex more than the U.S. delegates have. The scary thing isn't just what the FDA is doing. It's how many people still trust them, blindly — even when their actions have harmed more people than every U.S. war combined. We need advocacy from the ground up. Most parents feeding their kids toxic food don't even know it — because the truth has been buried. “Frankenmeat”, insect protein, and natural flavoring cover-ups, all of which bypass transparent labeling laws while being quietly introduced into the food supply. They're trying to outlaw homeopathy—while promoting lab-grown meat and insect protein as sustainable alternatives. We don't want to be right. We want to get it right.   “Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship… To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic.” - Dr. Benjamin Rush, Declaration of Independence signator and Surgeon General of the Continental Army   "If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls of those who live under tyranny.” - Thomas Jefferson   TAKE ACTION:  Join the National Health Federation for only $45/year to support international advocacy at Codex and receive the quarterly NHF magazine. This low-cost membership helps fund independent watchdog efforts that no other organization is legally authorized to perform at the global level. ⁠JOIN HERE⁠   Other mentions: ⁠⁠Ep 034: Fight For Your Right To Health Freedom⁠⁠ ⁠The HighWire report exposing Peter Marks and vaccine data suppression⁠    Health freedom is necessary. As government and corporate interests grow more entangled, grassroots advocacy is no longer optional. It's essential. Join the NHF and become part of the movement to reclaim sovereignty over what we eat, how we heal, and what we're allowed to know.    

In this Special Edition of Geopolitics with Ghost, host Ghost returns from France on his birthday and the anniversary of the 2017 Sword Dance to deliver a sweeping, multilayered recap of Trump's monumental Middle East tour. He begins with a breakdown of Russia's Victory Day parade, Xi and Putin's alliance, and Burkina Faso's Traoré defying Western regime-change operations. But the heart of the episode lies in Ghost's granular analysis of Trump's stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, marking a new era of sovereign alliances and massive economic reorientation. Ghost details over $2 trillion in trade, energy, defense, and tech deals, including space partnerships, missile defense systems, rare earth mineral investments, and Trump Towers rising in Jeddah and Dubai. He connects threads between Trump, MBS, AI, Kanye's “Drome” city project, XAI investments, and symbolic cues like Trump's crosshatch tie. Also covered: Syria's quiet shift, Rubio's evolving stance, MBS's quiet power moves, and legacy narrative warfare from neocons like Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin. This is Ghost at his best, braiding geopolitics, comms, history, and deep symbolism into a compelling vision of what comes after the collapse of the old guard.

Neoborn Caveman has a quickie, a freedom rant against the con artists running the show—lying governments, soulless media, and a world that's forgotten how to think.

He challenges listeners to recognize how media cycles, technological distractions, and societal structures are designed to keep people disconnected from their true selves and each other, creating a form of passive compliance and mental imprisonment.NC explores themes of personal sovereignty, self-reliance, and the importance of breaking free from what he calls 'the machine' or 'Leviathan'. He emphasizes the need for individuals to reconnect with nature, spirituality, and authentic human connections, using metaphors like the interconnected communication network of trees to illustrate how humans could potentially support and communicate with each other more effectively.Neoborn Caveman shares personal experiences, including his recovery from COVID-19 vaccine side effects and a temporary loss of spiritual connection, to underscore the broader discussion about maintaining individual agency and resisting systemic manipulation. He encourages listeners to limit media consumption, spend time in nature, and actively work to prevent a dystopian future by making conscious choices that prioritize human dignity, interconnectedness, and personal growth.Free speech marinated in comedy.........

Ola Bossio is an incredibly talented artist who immigrated from Poland in 1999 at just 20 years old. Joining her older sister who had arrived prior to Ola, she immediately immersed herself into English classes and began to work. Originally from north Poland, which borders Russia, she felt moving to the United States would bring more opportunities than under the regime she was living in. Living in a predominantly Polish neighborhood in CT she found community and initial comfort in being able to speak her native language and felt safe and free to express herself more openly. She met and fell in love with an American man and started her beautiful family while slowly dabbling in more painting and creative outlets. She paints landscapes of her favorite places in Poland which brings her peace and serenity. She describes Poland as a grey place because of the climate, but her paintings are full of natural color and celebrate the sky and vast fields of nature. Ola has been in art galleries and shows in Southport and Stamford, CT and was recently picked to show her work at the prestigious New Britain American Art Museum. She is incredibly proud of being picked for this showcase her work. Her life in the U.S. is deeply focused on family and faith and she's abundantly grateful for all she's been able to accomplish.

America's defense industrial base is woefully behind production on new advanced weapons systems, and slow to deliver those systems to strategic allies like Taiwan. The axis of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea is shifting the global balance of military capabilities in their favor. All of this adds up to what defense expert Brad Bowman calls the most dangerous geostrategic threat for the United States since 1945. He joined Rep. Crenshaw to cover bureaucratic and legislative reforms that would reinvigorate America's defense industry and speed up weapons deliveries to our allies. He gives an analysis of the Chinese military's strengths and weaknesses in an invasion of Taiwan. And he discusses the policy options for arming Mexico against the drug cartels.   Brad Bowman serves as senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, where he focuses on U.S. defense strategy and policy. He has served as a national security advisor to members of the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, as well as an active duty U.S. Army officer, Black Hawk pilot, and assistant professor at West Point.
