This week we focus on the "Big, Beautiful Bill", the shooting outside the Israeli embassy in D.C. and Ivanka Trump's odd Jiu Jitsu X posts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Is Trump losing the very people who put him in power - and what does that mean for the rest of us? If Trump was supposed to be the wrecking ball to the swamp, why are his approval numbers tanking while people are getting poorer, angrier, and more blackpilled about politics? Why are Walmart and TJ Maxx booming while your grocery bill feels like a second car payment? Why did Team Trump hype the Epstein files... then suddenly slam on the brakes? And why does it feel like no matter who wins, the same people behind the curtain still call the shots? 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 episode, Connor Vasile and I dig into the new polling that shows Trump sliding hard with voters who once saw him as the economic bodyguard against Biden style insanity. We get into why cost of living is crushing normal people, why the “inflation is slowing” talking points feel like gaslighting, and how big box “value” stores quietly tell the real story of a stressed out middle class. If you feel poorer than the headlines say you should, this one is going to hit home. From there, we walk straight into the Epstein landmine - why Thomas Massie forced the vote, what the Trump world flip flop on releasing the files really signals, and why people are done accepting “national security” and “ongoing investigation” as magic words to hide the truth. We talk foreign influence, Mossad rumors, blackmail, and why the average American has every reason not to trust the people holding the redaction pen. We also pull the lens back and ask the uncomfortable question almost nobody on the right wants to ask out loud - is Trump actually running a 90s Democrat playbook while selling it as America First? We talk covid spending, H1B visas, cheap imported labor, and why both parties keep feeding the same corporate machine while Republican and Democrat voters scream from opposite corners of the same cage. Finally, we zoom out to the bigger war behind all this: red team vs blue team tribalism, why libertarians keep getting boxed out, and what a real liberty strategy looks like in a world of communists winning big city races and “Christian nationalist” energy rising on the right. We talk Thomas Massie, Tea Party lessons, third parties vs takeover, and how a new coalition could actually change things from the bottom up if we stop playing make believe with polite old school politics.

What if the people targeting your parents and grandparents aren’t foreign scammers… but folks who look and sound exactly like someone they trust? We don’t like talking about this stuff. It feels uncomfortable, heavy, maybe even a little depressing. But the truth is simple: if you don’t know how elders are being quietly targeted, you can’t protect them. And the people running these scams are getting smarter, faster and more convincing by the day.Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠In today’s episode, we pull back the curtain on the quiet epidemic of elder financial exploitation, the kind nobody wants to talk about until it’s too late. Forget the headlines about nursing-home abuse - this is the stuff that never makes the 7 p.m. news, but drains bank accounts and destroys families in silence. Rusty Reynolds, a 25-year legal veteran, shows us exactly how these scammers operate and why the system rarely goes after them.We dig into the tricks, the tactics, the psychology and the tech - from spoofed phone calls to AI-generated voices that sound almost exactly like your loved one. And we dig into the real answer: relationships. Time. Trust. The stuff your government can’t fix but your family can. This is practical, real-world protection, not more “theory world” nonsense.If you’ve got aging parents, grandparents or even older friends, this is an episode you literally cannot afford to skip. Because the question isn’t if scammers will target them… but whether you’ll recognize the signs before the damage is done.

What happens when a millennial dad, lawyer, and Christian decides he’s had enough of career politicians? In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Betts — a Texas attorney and father of three — who’s running for Congress to restore faith, family, and freedom to D.C. We talk about what it really means to put America First, why states’ rights still matter, and how Texans can lead by example instead of walking away from the Union. 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 Betts shares his remarkable journey from organic chemist to criminal defense attorney to congressional candidate. He opens up about what drove him to run, how faith guides his campaign, and why he believes political courage begins with listening to ordinary people — not donors or bureaucrats. We dive deep into what “America First” actually means: smaller federal power, strong borders, free trade (not fake trade), and a return to liberty through personal responsibility. Daniel also pulls no punches when it comes to the Republican establishment — calling for less nanny-state conservatism and more constitutional common sense. We also talk about generational change — how millennials and Gen Z can rise up to fix what decades of boomers broke. Daniel lays out how younger conservatives can take leadership roles with both humility and competence, proving that moral conviction and modern thinking can coexist. If you’re tired of platitudes, phony promises, and politics-as-usual, this episode will remind you why servant leadership still matters — and why the fight for freedom starts at home.

Is medieval antisemitism making a comeback inside the modern church? It’s a question few are asking – and even fewer are brave enough to explore. In this thought-provoking episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we go deep into a topic that connects history, religion, and today’s culture in ways that might surprise you. Why are ancient prejudices resurfacing in some Christian circles – and how did they ever start in the first place? 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 sits down with Chloe Sparwath, Congressional Affairs Coordinator for the Israel Allies Foundation, to unpack her powerful article from Real Clear Religion about the reemergence of antisemitic sentiment within parts of the church. From medieval myths about “Christ killers” to modern-day conspiracy theories spreading on social media, Chloe reveals the historical roots – and modern consequences – of this dangerous pattern. This conversation cuts through surface-level talking points and asks hard questions about what’s driving the new wave of hate. Is it politics? Theology? Or something darker, tied to ignorance and fear? And how do we separate legitimate policy criticism from outright antisemitism? Together, Brian and Chloe explore how misinformation spreads through online influencers, how old lies are reborn as “new ideas,” and what it means for Christian and Jewish relations in an already divided world. This episode doesn’t lecture – it challenges listeners to think critically, seek truth, and recognize how easily moral decay can sneak back into sacred spaces. If you care about faith, freedom, and the truth, this is an episode you can’t afford to skip. Watch now, join the conversation, and help push back against hatred disguised as conviction.

What happens when doctors stop healing and start judging? Imagine walking into a hospital with your sick child and being told, “Sorry, you didn’t comply — no treatment.” It sounds dystopian, but this terrifying “comply or die” mindset is quietly creeping into modern healthcare. In this episode, we expose how politics, moral grandstanding, and cancel culture are rewriting the Hippocratic Oath.Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠Medicine used to be about one simple principle: care for the person in front of you. But now? Some healthcare professionals openly admit they’re “out of compassion” for patients who think differently, vote differently, or reject certain treatments. This isn’t medicine — it’s moral policing with a stethoscope.We dive deep into the stories that prove it — from doctors refusing patients over vaccine status to hospitals debating ICU priority based on compliance. Brian connects the dots between compassion fatigue, political tribalism, and the erosion of trust that’s leaving millions afraid to even see a doctor.But this isn’t just about COVID. It’s about where this thinking leads next — because once care becomes conditional, no one is safe. Today it’s the unvaccinated. Tomorrow it could be your lifestyle, your politics, or your faith. The line keeps moving, and it’s time to say enough.By the end of this episode, you’ll see exactly how we got here — and how we can fix it. From restoring medical ethics to defending the right to care for everyone, this conversation isn’t just about saving patients… it’s about saving the soul of healthcare itself.
