TBNS: Why Are Some Christians Turning on Jews? With Chloe Sparwath
 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.

TLPP: 10K Rides into the Night w/ Author Raymond E. Foster
 I talked with author Raymond E. Foster about his new book, Chasing The Surge: Ten Thousand Rides into The American Night, his time as a police officer in the LAPD, the Free Masons, and his 10K rides as an Uber driver. What’s it like to be on the job at the same time as your cop father? What is The Temple Within? And who would be stupid enough to try to steal a cop’s car? (This bad decision lead to one of the three gunfights Raymond’s been in.)

TBNS: Why Are Doctors Refusing Patients?
 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. 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.

TLPP: What’s an Indie Flick, Really with Jason Noto
 What I like about Substack is that its algorithm doesn’t feed me things that will only make me angry — unlike some other social-media platforms, where you should totally be following me. If I’m not angering you here — I most definitely will over there. So I have the Sub coders to thank for feeding me Jason Noto. On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast, I talk with the filmmaker about getting audiences back into movie theaters, the trauma of producing a feature film only to watch it drown in the slipstream(ing), and what it’s like to have worked with Timothée Chalamet (“Timmy” to Jason) and Elisabeth Moss before their careers blew up. You can watch the pre-Mad Men, pre-Handmaid’s Tale, Moss in Noto’s El Camino (full movie on YouTube) and his latest feature film, Beyond the Night on Amazon.

TBNS: Why Libertarians Keep Losing Voters
 Why do Libertarians keep losing the messaging war—especially when Americans are begging for something beyond Team Red and Team Blue? Every poll shows voters are done with the two-party system. They’re desperate for a new choice. So why aren’t libertarian candidates breaking through? This episode of The Brian Nichols Show takes a hard look at what’s really going wrong—and how to fix it.
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
We don’t lose because liberty is weak—we lose because our delivery sucks. For too long, Libertarians have led with labels instead of lives, theory instead of results. Brian breaks down how to “speak human”—to stop preaching ideology and start solving kitchen-table problems. Rent. Groceries. Schools. Safety. He explains how to translate libertarian principles into stories, empathy, and outcomes that normal people actually care about.
From immigration to inflation, crime to education, this episode walks through real-world examples of how to reframe liberty for impact. Want to talk about open borders? Don’t. Talk about property rights, safety, and fairness. Want to talk about inflation? Don’t start with “End the Fed.” Start with your paycheck. Why does it buy less? Because Washington printed your dollar into dust.
Brian also shows how to blend compassion with common sense. Real reform means recognizing that liberty without order is chaos—but order without liberty is tyranny. Whether it’s protecting communities through smart policing, letting parents choose schools that fit their kids, or giving small businesses room to grow, this is liberty that works.
So if you’ve ever wondered why Americans agree with libertarians in theory but not at the ballot box, this is your roadmap. It’s time to stop selling an ism and start selling solutions. Because freedom isn’t a debate—it’s a product. And when you sell it right, everyone wins.
