Is Canada making a huge mistake by pivoting away from the U.S.? The U.S.–Canada relationship has been one of the most stable alliances in modern history – but political shifts, global instability, and rising threats from China, Russia, and Iran are testing that bond like never before. In this hard-hitting episode, we dig into the reality behind the headlines and ask the tough question: Can Canada survive – economically or militarily – without the United States at its side?

For decades, Canada and the U.S. have fought alongside each other in major conflicts, defended shared interests, and benefited from an open, secure global trade system. But now, Canadian leaders are entertaining new defense and trade alignments, some even calling for a “pivot” away from Washington. Is this bold independence… or dangerous overconfidence?

Joining me is Anthony De Luca-Baratta of Young Voices, who argues that the U.S.–Canada partnership isn’t just about friendship – it’s about survival. From shared geopolitical goals to economic interdependence, we explore why both nations need each other more than ever. We also unpack Canada’s defense spending gap, its reliance on U.S. protection, and what that means in a world where American voters are increasingly skeptical of global policing.

We don’t shy away from the hard truths: America’s foreign policy has been messy, sometimes overreaching, and costly – and Canadians have followed us into conflicts with questionable returns. But what happens if the U.S. steps back completely? Could Canada stand on its own in a hostile world, or would it be forced into dangerous compromises with regimes that don’t share its values?

If you care about national sovereignty, North American security, and the future of one of the world’s most important alliances, you can’t afford to miss this episode. This is more than just U.S.–Canada relations – it’s a case study in how nations balance independence, alliances, and self-interest in an increasingly unstable world.

Gaby Blanco from the Dissident Project was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. She joins me today to talk about the communist island American leftists love to defend— while living in the United States, of course.

What’s it like to grow up with food rationing, no freedom to criticize the state, and with Cuba’s big business of medical slavery?

Gaby separates truth from propaganda. I hope you enjoy it. And if you’re in Cuba, please let me know.

Thanks to the Revolution Cubans in Miami can freely criticize the Cuban government without fear of imprisonment.

Cuba would be better off had it not waited until 2021 to legalize private companies.

What happens when we stop asking “should we?” and only focus on “can we?” Are we walking straight into a real-life version of Jurassic Park… but with federal funding and zero public input? In this episode, we’re diving into the controversial—and frankly unsettling—world of environmental disruption: cloud seeding, de-extincting animals like the dire wolf, and the broader question of whether humans are dangerously close to playing God.

Isaiah Menning from the American Conservation Coalition joins the show to make the case for what many see as radical environmental innovation. He argues that technologies like cloud seeding and bringing back extinct species aren’t just tools for science fiction—they’re critical for solving real-world problems like drought, ecological collapse, and even reviving American traditions. But is it really that simple?

We explore why some environmentalists are pushing for genetically modified trees, resurrected woolly mammoths, and redirected rainfall… and why skeptics are waving red flags. From the risks of long-term ecological side effects to the ethical minefield of tampering with nature, Brian asks the hard questions that most legacy media won’t touch. This isn’t just about science—it’s about who we trust, what we value, and whether we actually know what we’re doing.

Brian pushes back hard on the idea that “more tech = more good,” drawing on historical parallels like DDT, COVID-era mandates, and the blind trust in institutions that later admitted, “Oops.” Are we once again being sold the illusion of safety, only to find out decades later that we were the experiment?

If you've ever felt uneasy about our increasing obsession with controlling the environment “for our own good,” you won’t want to miss this episode. This is the kind of discussion that demands your attention—because once the gene is out of the bottle, there's no putting it back in.

On this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Scot Pollard, NBA veteran and survivor of both the reality-TV show (Survivor season 32) and a heart transplant. Scot’s the subject of the ESPN documentary Heart of Pearl (streaming now on ESPN+) and a volunteer spokesperson for Pearls of Life, which advocates for organ donations.

In addition to discussing the near impossibility of finding a heart big enough for someone Scot’s size (he’s 6’11”—7’ in heels), we also discuss what it’s like to meet the family of your heart donor, the temptations that are thrown your way when you’re a professional athlete, and how that Bryan Johnson dude somehow biohacked his body to look like Data from Star Trek.

Scot’s a new friend and my second friend who’s had a heart transplant.
