  Data Centers, H-1B Visas, Citizens United, & the Iowa Senate Race in the Middle of It | TBNS 1099

  Sep 17, 202638 min

  Dr. Thomas Laehn joins Brian Nichols to reveal how Iowa's data center fight, eminent domain, and Citizens United money all run through the 2026 Senate race - and why voters keep getting handed two bad options. Laehn is the Greene County Attorney and the first Libertarian in Iowa history to win a partisan election. Then he won it again. Now he's on the November 3 ballot against Ashley Hinson and Josh Turek for Joni Ernst's open seat. He wrote a bill that passed the House and passed the Senate. It never became law. What happened to it is the part nobody in Des Moines wants repeated. Brian pushes back hard - on young men and H-1B hiring, on the cultural fight libertarians keep dodging, on whether one party is objectively worse than the other. Laehn's answer isn't the one you're expecting. And then a former professor of constitutional law says something about the word "republic" that we had to sit with for a second. Give it a listen.

  Why Natural Cancer Therapies Never Get FDA Approved (DOCTOR EXPLAINS) | TBNS 1097

  Sep 3, 202629 min

  Dr. Francisco Contreras joins Brian Nichols to reveal why natural cancer therapies never get FDA approved and why the answer has nothing to do with a conspiracy. It's a $1 billion price tag and a missing patent... and the surgical oncologist who runs Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana lays out the math. Here's the argument. Getting anything through the FDA means proving it safe and effective in human trials - roughly a billion dollars. Do that with a new drug and you get a patent to earn it back. Do it with something natural and you get nothing... because the day it's approved, anyone can make it. So nobody runs the trial. Not because it failed. Because nobody can afford to find out. Contreras has spent 45 years at the hospital his father founded in 1963 - the same hospital that got called every name in the book. And he doesn't dodge it. He talks about what chemo does well, where he says it doesn't, and why patients end up in Mexico for therapies he says were developed in American labs in the first place. Is he right? That's for you to decide. Brian pushes on the third-party approval question, the "nobody gets fired for buying Cisco" problem in medicine, and what a family actually does when they've been told there's nothing left to try. Contreras' answer... make an informed decision, and talk to your doctor. His book is free on his site so you can read both sides. Educated. Enlightened. Informed. New episodes every Thursday. Chapters: 0:00 - A cancer hospital in Tijuana... you know the reputation 1:31 - Cancer rates keep climbing. So where's the cure? 2:20 - His father's 1950s bet: treat the patient, not the tumor 4:25 - Does Oasis of Hope reject chemo? Not even close 5:01 - The $1 billion problem: why no patent means no trial 7:44 - Is there a third-party alternative to the FDA? 8:15 - How his father lost the money the day Mexico said yes 10:39 - Did the research stop? He says it never did 14:36 - What's actually stopping doctors? 16:35 - The Family Guy stem cell problem 19:29 - Nobody gets fired for buying Cisco... or prescribing FDA-approved 20:06 - "Do you eat bananas?" 21:32 - To the families out there: what do you actually do? 25:45 - Final thoughts Dr. Francisco Contreras / Oasis of Hope Website + free book download: https://oasisofhope.com Book: The Art & Science of Undermining Cancer (co-authored with Daniel E.

  2028 Poll Shocker, Lindsay Clancy Backlash, AI Job Panic | TBNS 1096

  Aug 28, 202630 min

  A new 2028 poll just dropped, the Lindsay Clancy backlash has TikTok picking the wrong hero, and the AI job panic keeps getting rescheduled. Brian Nichols breaks down all three... and pulls zero punches. The Newsweek/McLaughlin 2028 numbers put JD Vance on top at 32%. But Don Jr. sits second at 19% without even running, Marco Rubio lands third at 12%, and Kamala Harris leads the Democratic field at 29%. Brian explains why fourth-place AOC is the name the establishment should actually fear, and what the DSA winning real races means for 2028 and 2032. Then the Lindsay Clancy backlash. 164,000 TikToks. Pink shirts outside the courthouse. A GoFundMe closing in on one million dollars from 31,000 donors. Brian draws a hard line between supporting postpartum mental health and justifying the unjustifiable... and explains why he has zero empathy left to give. And the AI job panic? They said the jobs were gone. Unemployment is still 4.2%, college grad joblessness is 2.7%, CEOs expecting big AI headcount cuts dropped from 46% to 20%, and the Stanford numbers show no gap at all between AI-exposed and least-exposed work. So the doomers moved the date. Again. New episodes every Thursday. Support the show and your heart at cardiomiracle.com/TBNS with code TBNS for 15% off. Educated. Enlightened. Informed.

  Is Your Power Bill Higher Because of Data Centers & AI? | TBNS 1095

  Aug 20, 202635 min

  Adam Butcher joins Brian Nichols to reveal what's actually driving your electricity bill higher and why blaming data centers and AI misses the real story about America's energy supply. Everybody's pointing at the data centers. Adam isn't. He's the President and Managing Partner of Basin Ventures. He's managed over $1.25 billion in oil and gas projects for more than 50 players in the industry and deployed over $500 million into minerals and royalties. He's a land guy - leases, title, ownership - which means he sees the part of this story nobody on cable news covers. And he came on with a number that stopped me cold. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at its lowest level since 1983. Roughly 35 days of cover. Draining every single week. Adam's take? Cheap oil is a mirage... and we've been hiding that with artificial levers instead of taking our medicine. So I brought him the stat sheet. Retail electricity up 7% in 2025. Up roughly 40% since 2021. Utilities requested $31 billion in rate hikes in 2025 versus $15 billion the year before. Another $9.4 billion in Q1 of 2026 alone. Virginia has 663 data centers, Texas has 405, together over a quarter of every data center in the country. And Adam looked at all of it and called data centers the new boogeyman. We get into Venezuela and why 2028 is the real timeline. We get into why he says he's always made more money under Democrats than Republicans. We get into the LNG export shutdown, ERCOT's grid math, Zuckerberg's city-sized facility outside Shreveport, and why he moved his fund to 50/50 oil and gas betting on a 2027 boom. Meet people where they're at. Most folks don't care about megawatts... they care about the number at the bottom of the envelope. So that's where we started.
