On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Virginia AG candidate Jay Jones wishes death on his political rivals and their children. This is not an outlier.

TBNS: Why “Live and Let Live” FAILS

Is freedom possible without virtue — and who should set society’s standards? That’s the big question we tackle in this episode of The Brian Nichols Show. Too often, people confuse “disliking” something with wanting government to ban it. But there’s a critical difference between using the state to enforce morality and letting society set boundaries through persuasion, stigma, and cultural norms. Don’t miss the Expat Money Online Summit (Oct 10–12) — a free online event on protecting wealth, lowering taxes, and securing a Plan B.

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 Government’s job is narrow and clear: protect life, liberty, and property. When it wanders outside that lane, it doesn’t create a better society — it creates division and resentment. Yet today, every cultural disagreement seems to get funneled through politics, turning every election into a zero-sum fight to control the moral agenda. That’s not how a free society survives. Real change doesn’t come from laws or mandates. It comes from culture — from families, communities, and individuals reinforcing responsibility and setting standards without relying on Washington. The goal isn’t to make certain behaviors illegal. The goal is to make them unthinkable. In this episode, I break down why social stigma, persuasion, and voluntary virtue are more powerful than any piece of legislation. I dig into why Ron Paul’s “unthinkable” principle still matters, why government-enforced morality always backfires, and why the marketplace of ideas is messy but essential to liberty. If you care about freedom, family, and the future of our country, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss. Because liberty without virtue collapses into chaos. And virtue imposed by government collapses into tyranny. The only sustainable path is a free society guided by responsibility — not government dictates.

TBNS: Why Is America TRILLIONS in Debt? With Brandon Prichard

Why does government keep wasting so much of our money—and can anything actually be done to fix it? That’s the question more and more Americans are asking as debt explodes and inefficiency runs wild. Today, we’re digging into one of the boldest ideas to take on this mess: the Department of Government Efficiency—better known as “DOGE.” Is it just another talking point, or is it the blueprint for real accountability?

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 of The Brian Nichols Show, we cut through the noise to expose how bloated government spending really is, from D.C. down to your local statehouse. Forget the political spin—this conversation gets to the heart of what’s broken and how to actually start trimming the fat. Brandon Prichard joins the show to share firsthand insight from his time as an elected official in North Dakota, where he saw the swamp-style waste at the state level. From stacked committees to lawmakers who talk conservative but vote like big spenders, he explains how entrenched the problem really is—and why citizens can’t just sit on the sidelines. We tackle the objections head-on. Critics say cutting spending means cutting lives. But what if taxpayer dollars are being funneled into activist groups, bricks-for-riots, or wasteful overseas projects instead of real needs? We walk through how to fight back against “weaponized empathy” and show the public the difference between compassion and corruption. If you’re tired of seeing trillions vanish while nothing changes, this episode gives you both the fire and the framework to make a difference. Whether it’s running for office, helping good candidates, or simply knowing how to counter the emotional traps thrown by the Left, you’ll walk away with practical steps to bring accountability back to government.
