TBNS: Can Canada Defend Itself Without America?

8/14/2025
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? 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 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! 📧Submit Listener Questions to brian@briannicholsshow.com to hear your questions and perspectives answered and shared each and every week! 🎙️ WATCH The Brian Nichols Show, available on YouTube & Rumble.

The Lou Perez Podcast: Cuba Libre - Gaby Blanco Parses Truth & Commie Propaganda

8/12/2025
Gaby Blanco from the Dissident Project was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. She joins me today to talk about the communist island American leftists love to defend— while living in the United States, of course. What’s it like to grow up with food rationing, no freedom to criticize the state, and with Cuba’s big business of medical slavery? Gaby separates truth from propaganda. I hope you enjoy it. And if you’re in Cuba, please let me know. Thanks to the Revolution Cubans in Miami can freely criticize the Cuban government without fear of imprisonment. Cuba would be better off had it not waited until 2021 to legalize private companies.

TBNS: Are We Playing God with Nature?

8/7/2025
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. 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 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.

The Lou Perez Podcast with Scot Pollard

8/5/2025
On this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Scot Pallard, NBA veteran and survivor of both the reality-TV show (Survivor season 32) and a heart transplant. Scot’s the subject of the ESPN documentary Heart of Pearl (streaming now on ESPN+) and a volunteer spokesperson for Pearls of Life, which advocates for organ donations. In addition to discussing the near impossibility of finding a heart big enough for someone Scot’s size (he’s 6’11”—7’ in heels), we also discuss what it’s like to meet the family of your heart donor, the temptations that are thrown your way when you’re a professional athlete, and how that Bryan Johnson dude somehow biohacked his body to look like Data from Star Trek. Scot’s a new friend and my second friend who’s had a heart transplant.

What if I told you a YouTuber just raised $11 million for kids with cancer—without a single law, tax, or politician involved?In this milestone 1000th episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we break down how Ryan Trahan just did what no government program has ever pulled off: unite millions of Americans around a mission that actually worked.

The Lou Perez Podcast with Isaac Simpson

7/29/2025
This is a special episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. So special, in fact, that it’s not even an episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. No, it’s my appearance on Isaac Simpson’s podcast, The Carousel. Isaac was kind enough to have me on to take a deep dive into possibly the most important article to come out this year, Jean Garnett’s “The Trouble with Wanting Men,” as published in the New York Times. OK, it’s definitely not the most important article, but it’s damn entertaining and revealing about where and when some of us are. (It even tricked me into buying a subscription to The Times.) Isaac and I get all the way into Garnett’s 5,000 words to talk about Garnett’s heterofatalism and total lack of self-awareness. Dear, Jean: Maybe dating is hard for you because you’re so annoying and this is the breed of “man” you’re seeing: ‘He tends to signal, in various ways, his exemption from the tainted category of “men,” and it is perfectly understandable that he would wish to do so. It must be mildly embarrassing to be a straight man, and it is incumbent upon each of them to mitigate this embarrassment in a way that feels authentic to him.’ I hope you enjoy our straight, unabashed, and authentic convo and please subscribe to our Substacks.

The Brian Nichols Show: What’s Really in Your Meat from the Store?

7/24/2025
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!📧Submit Listener Questions to ⁠brian@briannicholsshow.com⁠ to hear your questions and perspectives answered and shared each and every week! 🎙️ WATCH The Brian Nichols Show, available on ⁠YouTube⁠ & ⁠Rumble⁠.
