  • The Brian Nichols Show: How Critical Rare Earth Minerals Could Start the Next War

    The Brian Nichols Show: How Critical Rare Earth Minerals Could Start the Next War
    May 22 2025
    Is America risking its future by outsourcing the very materials that power our technology, weapons, and economy? In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we dive headfirst into the critical mineral crisis - and why your phone, car, and national security might depend on rocks you've never heard of. What are critical minerals? Why are they mostly controlled by foreign countries like China? And how the heck did we get here? 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 Brian is joined by Farrell Gregory to uncover the truth behind critical mineral supply chains, the global chokehold China holds over rare earth elements, and what the U.S. must do to regain control. This isn’t just a discussion about mining - it’s about national defense, energy independence, and America’s ability to stand on its own two feet in an increasingly hostile world. If you think the stuff powering your daily life is made in the USA, think again. They break down why America has vast mineral resources but refuses to use them, thanks to bloated regulations and red tape that can delay mining projects by nearly two decades. Meanwhile, China and other foreign players scoop up influence and economic leverage with little resistance. Why are we so reliant on enemies for our most critical tech ingredients? Farrell explains how Saudi Arabia could play a surprising role in securing America's mineral future - and why partnerships matter, but domestic production is non-negotiable. Brian connects the dots to the broader economic shift happening in America as we move away from hollow service jobs and back toward tangible, value-producing industries. The question is: are we ready to embrace it? This episode will make you think twice the next time someone talks about “green energy,” “supply chains,” or “America First.” It’s not just a slogan - it’s a survival strategy. Buckle up, because we’re not just talking policy - we’re talking about the minerals that keep modern life running. Don’t miss this no-fluff breakdown of one of the most underreported economic and national security crises facing America today. ❤️ 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!📧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.

    Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy https://amzn.to/3VhFa1r I always have fun talking with my friend Larry Sharpe of The Sharpe Way. On this episode, I come to him for advice on how to get my child to put/keep his pants on and insights into how bad New York really is, who’s behind the migrant crisis and the homeless industrial complex, and just how much money can be made off of human suffering. While others are looking to be the next 600-pound influencer, “quiet quitting” or “showing their independence” (that’s when you get a job but choose not to show up on the first day of work), I’m pushing the Flashdance career path: Be a dancer but also be a welder—and always be a creator. Check out my short story "Paul's Ghost" in Nothing Sacred from Heresy Press and Skyhorse Publishing. Catch me on tour, opening for the brilliant Scott Thompson.

  • Why Are So Many Canadians Moving to America?

    Why Are So Many Canadians Moving to America?
    May 15 2025
    Is our “friendly” neighbor to the north actually turning into a serious national security threat? That’s the question we tackle in this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show. If you’ve always viewed Canada as America’s polite northern cousin, you might want to buckle up—because what you're about to hear will completely flip that narrative on its head. 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 In today’s conversation, Brian is joined by political theorist William Barclay to explore a side of Canada the mainstream media refuses to touch. From rising violent crime and drug trafficking to collapsing institutions and a youth population that literally wants to be annexed by the U.S.—Barclay makes the compelling case that Canada is edging dangerously close to becoming a failed state. And worse? That collapse is leaking over the border. But this episode isn’t just about Canada. It’s a wake-up call for anyone who thinks liberty and security can exist in a vacuum. Brian and William go deep on the flawed idealism of modern libertarianism and how blind allegiance to ideological purity can lead to real-world vulnerabilities. They ask the hard questions most won’t touch: Is liberty even possible without security? And what happens when weaponized empathy shuts down honest debate? You’ll also hear about the dangers of ideological dogma, how political "isms" hijack common sense, and why the rise of a more grounded Gen Z might be the unexpected force that saves Western civilization. There’s a real tension here between theory and practice—and this episode doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable truths. By the end of this conversation, you’ll not only question what you thought you knew about Canada, but you’ll be rethinking how we talk about liberty, security, and national identity here in America. If you care about real solutions instead of utopian fluff, this episode is your must-listen red pill.
