Brian Nichols  0:00  
Music. Instead of focusing on winning arguments, we're teaching the basic fundamentals of sales and marketing and how we can use them to win in the world of politics, teaching you how to meet people where they're at on the issues they care about. Welcome to the Brian Nichols show. Well, happy Saturday. There, folks. Brian Nichols here on another episode of The Brian Nichols show. I am, as always, your humble host, joining you from our lovely cardio miracle Studios here in sunny Eastern Indiana. The Brian Nichols show is powered by our phenomenal sponsors, amp America also our phenomenal studio, studio sponsors, cardio miracle folks. We're gonna talk more about that later. But for today, we're talking about all of the news that's happened over the past week, the news you need to know. And joining me here from amp America to help me do so. Remzo Martinez, welcome back to the Brian Nichols show amp America Week in Review. How you doing, buddy?

Remso Martinez  0:58  
It's another day. It's another Saturday and I I've seen so many degenerate memes about one of the people we're going to talk about today that I have, just like I have so many questions, and I've done very little to really look into it, because I'm almost afraid of the truth, but to kind of get things kicked off on the right foot, I'm gonna ask, Did Tim walls rape a horse? Well, there's the thing about that. I seriously, like, I'm not setting you up for anything. Like, I genuinely like, I don't want to know. Like, do you know anything before we get into him lying about having served in combat? Do you know anything about the horse jizz memes?

Brian Nichols  1:47  
I've heard, I've seen the horse jizz memes. I i candidly remzo didn't dig into those memes for understandable reasons. So that's where I'm

Remso Martinez  1:57  
at. My search history is already weird enough, and I have a legit answer for everything on there, but I didn't want to. I didn't want to, like, I didn't know how to Google this one. I mean,

Brian Nichols  2:09  
or you don't want to necessarily Google something like this. I'm sure the search results would definitely yield you some questionable, questionable outcomes, and your wife would definitely ask some questions

Unknown Speaker  2:22  
as well. Yeah,

Brian Nichols  2:24  
yeah, okay. On that happy note, let's move away from the horse jizz and let's move towards Stolen Valor. Shall we? Tim walls, remzo, Tim walls, apparently, is facing some, I guess, reality check, and that is, you can't just have your entire history wrapped up in a nice neat bow and then slapped in front of the public and expect them to just say, Yep, that's it looks like right now. Yes, the vice presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, Tim walls, he's facing a lot of a lot of red flags right now from folks specifically in the Armed Forces talking about Stolen Valor and REM so you wrote an article over amp America saying there's maybe a thing or two that Tim walls can learn from someone like, I don't know, Senator Richard Blumenthal, so remzo Talk to us what's going on there.

Remso Martinez  3:08  
So within hours, it wasn't even days, it was hours, people start picking this guy apart, and since he had been on the short list from the DNC, of course, the RNC went ahead and did their research, and they were prepared for everybody. And I'm going to go ahead and put cork in that right now and come back to it later, because it matters. But right now, people are going after walls because walls served in the Army, National Guard in Minnesota, and that is not up for dispute. He did serve. He went as an enlisted soldier, went up to be, you know, a higher level NCO Command Sergeant Major, I think, for his battalion. And that was it. He got out after around, like, 18 years. That's not in dispute. There's records for that he did serve in the National Guard. What's in dispute, though, is claims that he fought in Iraq, in in combat, yeah, like he was actually, you know, combat arms and served overseas in a combat environment. But any soldier, any anyone that has served remotely in the military for two seconds and has looked at photos beyond generic, you know, like stock images of actors wearing uniforms incorrectly. The question is like, Where's where's the CIB? Where's the deployment patch? When his unit deployed, he got out a few months prior, and the media is playing semantics with it. They're like, they're lying about his Stolen Valor, claims he served in the military. Yes, he did serve in the military. Stolen Valor largely is falsifying military status, saying I served in the military when I didn't. It also, and we can actually thank Barack Obama for this, because Obama. Had actually expanded the definition of Stolen Valor and actually put out legal penalties for people that did this. It's not just saying you you served in the military, but you didn't. For example, I was a National Guardsman. I was a Alabama guardsman as an enlisted men and I finished out my time in the military as a lieutenant in the Virginia Army National Guard. And that is a true statement. However, I never deployed overseas. I could say something like I served in an active duty status, which is true. I served in for, you know, for riots, for the 2016 presidential inauguration, you know, a couple days here and there. But I can't stretch it to say that I was on extended active duty or something like that. That would not be true. I also did not deploy. My unit. Did not deploy to a, you know, to a combat theater while I was in so I could, I could say one thing is true, because one thing is true, but if I began to, like, embellish my military record and say that I did things I did not, that is, that's part of the definition of Stolen Valor, and that's what he's in trouble for today, because he's been caught on camera not once, not twice, not thrice. He's been doing this for well over a decade, and he has gone as far as to say that he's carried weapons of war and war and all this other stuff. So we know that he's a lying sack of apart from all his terrible policies, because he's Huckleberry marks in many ways. You know, he's just a liar. But the thing that I pose in this article, and why I go ahead and drag in Dick Blumenthal in this is that, do we actually think? Now, I'm not saying that he was not the that he was not like the top candidate. He was obviously not the top candidate. Apparently, there were like nine other people that Harris's team reached out to and asked, Will you be her VP? And one of them said, I think this was in CNN. They said that this would be a death sentence for my courier. So obviously, they went through a lot of freaking people before they landed on, you know, this dude. But the question is, is that, did they look at this guy, not knowing that this was an issue, not knowing that this would be the thing that people are talking about the moment he stepped out. And, you know, the Democrats are serious people. They knew this. I think the best example of the vice presidential vetting that people can go watch right now to see what the process is like. Is the movie vice Janey, when George Bush and, you know, everyone's team is looking at the VP list and they're looking at Cheney, that's actually a really good example as to what goes behind the vice presidential selection process. So there's no way that they did not know this was happening, and the media coordination for a lot of this also shows that they were prepared for it. And I say that because you have people that are trying to turn this into Swift boats, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth against John Kerry and stuff like that. But the truth is, is like, it's a very different environment. The Swift voters for truth against John Kerry during the Iraq. War is a very different situation than right now. And I highlight Dick Blumenthal because Blumenthal served in the Marines. To be more specific, he was a Marine Corps reservist during Vietnam. However, he never served. He never deployed, but Dick Blumenthal went ahead and called himself a war veteran and stuff like that. Like, I've got an active duty wartime ribbon, or I think that's what it's called. Like, I didn't get many in the military. I wasn't in that long but, like, I got an active duty wartime ribbon, you know, you get from that, you just, that just means that you join the military during an active time of war, and during the global war on terror and everything. That's what me and everyone else got just automatically. So when you go ahead and you look at these guys and you actually see what they did, like the proof is in the proof, they did not serve overseas. They didn't get a Bronze Star. They didn't get purple hearts. You know, at least John Kerry had a Purple Heart. No one can deny that John Kerry served in a theater of war, that John Kerry sustained serious injuries, and that's where I get upset with some Republicans who go after John Kerry. John Kerry did serve. John Kerry was injured. John Kerry earned his Purple Heart. However, the extent of the war stories caught up to him, and they're like, John Kerry wasn't this Rambo type guy. He he embellished a lot of his acts of bravery and stuff like that. So it's like, this stuff always comes back to hit you. And I say this as a veteran, like veterans will go after other veterans hard. But this, this whole thing, has got. To the point where it's like, if Republicans think that this has got to be what sinks the campaign, they shouldn't, because Dick Blumenthal, who's one of the highest ranking members of the Senate, he was able to get through this and he won. You know, he he weren't. He's won several races since where people called out his Stolen Valor record. Donald Trump in 2018 even brought that up. Dick Blumenthal is still around, and all of his opponents. No one remembers their names. No one remembers them. So it's still, even though we're less than 100 days out until the election, it's still a long way this could be forgotten tomorrow. So you know, they they came prepared for this. They know what's happening. I'm glad that people are shedding light on it, but they can't just run on he lied about his record because the Democrats don't care. The Democrats are fighting against Hitler and everyone else. And you know, it's it's one of the situations where it's like, the news cycle changes immediately. The people who said that after Trump got indicted and he was going to win and definitely turned on him, like, a week later, they're like, Oh, he did something stupid. His campaign is failing. Then he gets shot in the ear, and they're like, oh, there's no way he could lose. He's gonna win. And now, like, two weeks later, he does a live stream of somebody, and they're like, Oh, his campaign is failing. He wouldn't have to. Joe Rogan, his campaign is losing. And it's like, calm down for like, five minutes. Five minutes please. Brian

Brian Nichols  11:27  
Nichols and remzo Martinez here on a Brian Nichols show, amp in America Week in review, we're live by the way, folks here on Saturday morning. So if you want to go ahead, head down below into the comments. Let us know your thoughts. Let us know your perspectives. We will possibly read them as we wrap up towards the end of the episode here today for some super chat. So please go ahead leave your comments here, Twitter and Facebook, X and Facebook. Remzo, you mentioned, and I think so first of all, you talk about the stolen Balor, right? And I had this question. This was a question you actually kind of you answered the question before I could even ask it. I was like, does this even matter to the Democratic base? It doesn't, right? And I'm right there with you. I don't think this matters at all, but to the large voter base, by and large, I also don't think it really matters that much. To your point about Richard Blumenthal, a lot of folks, they really only care about the things that really impact them, right? So if it's the economy, or if it's their their their lot, like their family, their community, like those things you can see, smell, touch, taste like those are the things that really matter. And for this, it just feels like it's another one of those, like attempts at trying to create, like, what this perception that he's not an ethical or trustworthy human being when we have to remember the potential voting base, the IP, as we call it here in the show, the ideal voter persona for that democratic voter, they don't care that. That's not one of those qualifiers for them when they're going to the voting booth. Now nothing. Just wanted to kind of circle back to and is this? This like recurring theme of these older, I'm just going to use the term Boomer politicians, right? And they're fish stories. They're big fish stories. And across the board, what we've seen is this old Boomer mentality of, you know, telling your story, and then you're just embellishing a little bit a little bit every, every so often, only to the point where you start your story 20 years ago and it turns into you caught a whale, you know, 20 years later, versus, well, maybe it was a minnow that used to be like, Okay, well, you know, that's just bill as just Bill telling his stories, whereas now bill is running for office, and there's the internet. So these big fish stories that boomers used to be able to get away with. And one look no further than what Joe Biden back in the 80s when he was trying to rip quotes from like JFK and Martin Luther King, trying to put those quotes in his own speech, I

Remso Martinez  13:45  
throw it in the piece too. Like this is no different than Hillary dodging bullet fire in Bosnia.

Brian Nichols  13:50  
This is running to the airplanes. That's right. Yeah, yeah. Brian McWilliams on NBC getting shot at in a live combat zone.

Remso Martinez  13:58  
I mean, I'm an equal opportunist, too. I brought up, you know, Ben Carson's stabbing story about how he

Brian Nichols  14:04  
I forgot that one. Can you? Can you share that for the audience? For for folks.

Remso Martinez  14:08  
This is in the movie with Cuba Gooding Jr. It's in the book gifted hands, his his memoir. It's when he was, like, eight years old, and somebody was bullying him, so he pulled out like a pocket knife and attempted to stab somebody, but he said the guy's belt buckle was so huge that as soon as he turned around and said, stabbing him, I stabbed the belt buckle. And it's like, for years, people didn't really question that, and then they did, and Ben Carson could have said anything and said he was just like, I don't want to talk about it. And then he's,

Brian Nichols  14:44  
I just imagining Ben Carson in a violent position, like, I'm gonna stab you.

Remso Martinez  14:48  
And I mentioned Ben Carson, and I like Ben Carson, but I bring that up because it's like, you know, everyone, because I bring up Joe Biden being raised in like a Puerto Rican neighborhood, and having black friends and rubbing their having their kids. Rub his legs when they were like, you know, for like, the Democrats reading the piece, they'd be like, well, Trump lying all the time. And I'm like, Well, you know, we could argue that, and there are examples, but you know, it's like, let's take like the the non controversial politician type who everyone kind of typically has, like, mostly positive feeling towards, and be like, listen, like everyone lies. And I mean, I open the piece of that like everyone lies. We're humans. We lie, I breathe, I lie like we're not perfect people. But you know, to counter your big fish story, you could call me out for saying that I thought I caught a 20 pound salmon and I caught a minnow. And I could call that subjective. I think for a lot of people, it does bother them when you say you served in war and you didn't. And I had a guy that I that I served with for a little bit, he got kicked out, but it was Veterans Day, and we were going to do a parade. And I don't know why he got into an argument with somebody, but he started arguing of them about, you know, like the war in Afghanistan or something. And then he was like, you don't know shit about Afghanistan. I've been to Afghanistan. I fought in Afghanistan. And I looked at him, and I'm like, you and I have been in the same time. And last I checked, neither of us have been to Afghanistan. So everyone kind of corners this guy, and we're like, we're gonna give you a chance to walk back that statement, and then he's like, Well, you know, I got a little heated. It wasn't me, it was my cousin in the Marines, and it wasn't Afghanistan, it was Iraq. And, you know, I just got heated. And it's like, you don't get heated and then say that you serve. And that guy we, I might not go into details, but like, we razz the fuck out of him. We gave him so much crap for that, because it's like you just said that you served in Afghanistan. And all of us who have known you since day one know that that's not a true statement, and you weren't joking either. You said it attempting to win an argument that you are losing. So, you know, there's the Well, to me, it felt like 20 pounds to what I fought in Afghanistan. It's like, calm down, buddy.

Brian Nichols  17:13  
Yeah, being, I mean, yes, it is, is absolutely subjective, I think, for the the big fish analogy. But when you just outright lie, right? And that, I think, to your point, there is definitely a group of voters who this just outright lying, immediately disqualifying, but I get nervous rems when I look at the the politically I don't want to use the word inept more than the politically agnostic folks who just they live their lives and they really don't pay attention to this stuff. I'm concerned that that voter, they won't even look into this like top of the tickets, important, right? We know that Trump Harris, that's where a majority of the voters are going to spend their time. I just wonder how many of those voters are now going to take that next step, turn that next page, read the story about Tim walls, and get the context and say, yeah, that right there. That's disqualifying. And I was considering voting for Harris. Now I'm absolutely going to say, No, I'm not voting for Harris. I might vote for Trump. I might vote for RFK. I might not vote at all. That's the voter I'm concerned about, because I don't know if they're going to really dig into this and really see that this is something that would push them away from voting against what they looked at, as you said, right? The the next Hitler, the next worst thing in Trump. And that's exactly what the media has done, by the way. And we've seen this ever since Harris took over the campaign, when Biden just disappeared and went off to the farm where they're inevitably going to put him down like you watch firsthand. Is playing good time. The media is literally like walking Kamala down the aisle right now, trying to get her into a position where she can just be ushered in as president. And they've asked zero tough questions. They've asked zero questions at all, and to see that right REM so you have a press that is lap dogs for the Democratic Party. I mean, they're basically an extension of the communications team for the DNC. You have a populace that is so over overloaded with information, and frankly, they're burnt the fuck out after years and years of just the temperature being increased like he's the next Hitler. It's Russian collusion, covid, Trump. It just, it was always back and forth, just always increasing the temperature that person. I just feel they're burnt out, man. And I'm concerned that it is the burnt outness and the the fact that then the media who's supposed to get that person to wake up and snap out of their burnt outedness, if that's a word, they're the ones who are, in turn, ushering all of this right down their throats. So I'm a little weary. I hope things get better. I don't know. Let's put a book end on this conversation. Remzo, any last thoughts to wrap up the Stolen Valor conversation with Tim walls before we go to our next article,

Remso Martinez  20:06  
yeah, there are only two. There's only one set of standards when it comes to the Democrats, and that's double standards. This is swift votes for Carrie. Even beyond that, this is, you know, leaving your secretary under the bridge in Chappaquiddick, and people will still vote for you with Ted Kennedy, you know, I mentioned in this piece, right? I think this this spring, there was a Republican Commissioner for this county in New Jersey who embellished his naval record. He did serve in the military, but he said he was a Navy Seal, and I didn't go too far down that rabbit hole. But like, long story short, like, either he wasn't a Navy Seal, or he never deployed at the SEAL teams, and because of that, his own County GOP demanded his resignation. It's good for them. So like, Republicans will go after themselves, hard. Good for them. Democrats will just look at this and be like, what does it matter in the face of infinity, what does it matter? They'll just, they'll just, they'll just get away with it, if, like, the day that Ted Kennedy left his secretary to drown and then he yelled at his own staff for yelling at him as he had a hangover the next day after he slept overnight in the motel with no regret on his face whatsoever, as he did that staged interview. Like you know that man served until his deathbed, and even after he died, they used do it for TED to bring Obama back in 2012

Brian Nichols  21:31  
which is so fucked up. Like, just like, remove the politics. Remove the D, remove That's what she said. Remove the R. Like, oh, just as a human being. And if that was your sister, that was your aunt, your niece, your best friend from high school, whatever it may be, just have some humanity for a second. And that is something where

Remso Martinez  21:59  
Democrats cared as much about Mary Jo capecni as they care about all the black children who were aborted every day

Brian Nichols  22:08  
that just you drop it, buddy. I'm not even gonna carry that one forward. We are live, by the way.

All right, folks, yes, we are live here on the Brian Nichols show part of AMP America. We're doing our Week in Review, going through some of the top news articles over the past week. Now, elephant in the room. I was out all this past week. I've been traveling for work. I was in Nashville. Got to see we like to joke. We get to hang out with 1800 of our closest friends at the Partner Summit. So had a good time there. Got to see some some old friends, made some new friends. But candidly, remso, I haven't been as involved in the new. As I would like to and then I ended up, just coincidentally, we're standing at the table, and this guy comes up, and he is the troop leader for his boy scouts club over in Utah, and we started talking, and yes, it's no longer elephant room. It's no longer Boy Scouts. It's just scouts or cubs, or whatever the hell they call it nowadays. And it's because back a few years ago, there was this whole dei push to UN Boy Scout. The Boy Scouts, so now you have this, yeah, the scouts, USA, you have boys and girls in one entity, and then the Girl Scouts have their own entity. So we got to talk about this. Let's talk about the Boy Scouts. Why the Boy Scouts have vanished. This is an article that we have over at amp America, and let's just dig into this here. Remzo, why did the Boy Scouts fail? I don't know why it's not loading, but, oh, it's a video. That's

Speaker 1  25:53  
why. Actually, yeah, can we watch the video? Is there a chance we could do that? Yeah, let

Brian Nichols  25:56  
me make sure. I'm going to unshare my screen. I'm going to reshare it, make sure we have a our audio here, because

Remso Martinez  26:03  
I because I could explain it, but Nick fratis Does a hell of a lot better.

Brian Nichols  26:07  
Here we go. Here we go. Oh, you know what it is, right here. Remzo, I got caught. You feel fill the time here. Remzo, I'm copying a link.

Remso Martinez  26:16  
Yeah. So male spaces are under attack in America, and male spaces have been demonized and targeted by people for years, because the idea is, if something is a male space, there's something inherently wrong with it. It's toxic. It's the smoke filled room. The only way a space could be legitimate or something can really be good is if women are allowed in. And I get this with a lot of things, and, you know, people would say this is a non issue, but like, I'm, you know, I'm part of a fraternity, and this fraternity does not allow women in, and we have not allowed women in for ever, because we don't, we just don't allow women in. It's a male space for women, and we have stuff for women, like, we include our wives at dinners, and we have functions for families, and we have an appended we have an appendage that is just for, you know, women to support us, but like, we're a traditionally male. Men have an appendage to REMSA, by the way. Oh, and it's like that. It's like that boxer who's not a woman, who's not a man, but is a man, apparently. So like, you know, with with Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts have been, you know, targeted for more than a decade and a half, and the fact that they had their will broken down, I think it was in 2013 when they started allowing girls in. Yep. The problem is, is, like, you know, if you wanted to expand it, because women wanted to be involved. My problem was, never, you know, don't allow something like this. I had been one of the people saying, like, you know, if you want to have boys and girls in the same scouting type thing, then have it be scouts. So in one way, it's like, I'm almost glad that, you know, they're no longer pretending to be Boy Scouts with women. They're just going to be scouts. However, as a former Cub Scout and Boy Scout, I can definitely say that there's just something different about being a young man who's doing stuff with your boys. Yeah, I think the same thing is for, you know, the brownies and for the Girl Scouts. And, you know, my wife was a brownie, and she said we never got to do as cool stuff as the Boy Scouts, to which I'm like, Okay, well, if you want to do Boy Scout things in Girl Scouts, I absolutely support women learning archery, and women learning leather work, and women learning the Boy Scout skills. But have that be for Girl Scouts? Yes, it's less about the things. It's more about just developing. And I think that there's every everywhere you go, you can do stuff co Ed. But there is something very genuine and very important about allowing boys to be boys, and the fact that we have, yet again, taken that away and demanded nothing of women bingo. And I think that women are selfish, and I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna sound misogynistic and horrible, but all the focus right now for equality and for protecting women is in women's sports, which I absolutely believe men should not be in women's sports, but at the same time, girls should not have been in Boy Scouts. And the women pushing for that never defended Boy Scouts, and that's what upsets me. But Nick fratis went ahead and did a video here, which is probably less problematic than what I just said. So

Brian Nichols  29:25  
there we go. It's three minutes long in length. Letter, but good buddy there, Nick Freitas, who also is part of AMP America, he's got a great show over there. So let's let Nick give his thoughts. Why did

Speaker 2  29:35  
the Boy Scouts disappear on May 7, 2024 the Boy Scouts of America announced that after 115 years, the organization would change its name to scouting America. So why did the Boy Scouts abandon their old name? And in order to understand this, we need to understand why they were formed in the first place. Starting in 1910 the Boy Scouts emerged from a need to save Lost Boys from city slums teach. Them virtues like patriotism, honesty, courage and self reliance. Its founders envision an organization that combined a boys craving for heroism with a coat of chivalry all wrapped in the lure of the great outdoors. The early Boy Scouts understood that masculinity was both self sacrificing and ennobling, and this spirit of duty and selflessness was at the core of what it meant to be a scout. And for well over half a century, the value of an all boys organization was self evident to pretty much everyone. However, beginning in the late 60s and early 70s, things began to change. In just one generation, America witnessed the subtle disintegration of traditional family structures, and this collapse of the family was accompanied by a devaluation of traditional masculinity and culturally positive male role models practically disappeared from TV shows, being replaced by men as either idiots or villains. Politically, the state and federal governments decided to actively promote one sex at the detriment of another, and amidst these massive social changes, the Boy Scouts faced increasing pressure to adapt. The push for relevance began in the 1970s and 80s, leading to the first wave of erasing the original purpose of the Boy Scouts. Wood craft skills were replaced by things like urban survival tips and scout masters became little more than camp counselors by the 1990s and early 2000s the writing was on the wall. The Boy Scouts of America was deemed too wholesome, too patriotic, and above all, way too masculine. Ultimately, the demand for tolerance and inclusivity became the organization's Achilles heel. Left wing advocacy groups and legal challenges pressured the Boy Scouts to drop their emphasis on raising boys, change their hiring practices and eventually renounce the very purpose of the organization's existence. By 2018 the Boy Scouts of America had renounced its mission of developing selfless, self reliant men. The final step in this transformation was removal of boy from the organization's name. The Boy Scouts shift toward inclusivity and diversity came at the expense of its core mission and values. The original scouts were dedicated to outward focus, universal ideals and selfless values. They were patriotic and volunteer driven, rather than being encumbered by bureaucracy and identity politics. So here's the question, now that all these changes have taken place, are boys better off now that the Boy Scouts have abandoned masculinity? What about girls? Are they better off? How about society in general? The answer is no. It turns out that an organization dedicated to teaching boys about the proper role of masculinity within society was better for everyone and erasing it was better for no one.

Brian Nichols  32:40  
And do you have a why you would list so this for me as a girl, dad. So for folks who aren't aware, I had a little girl back in 2023, if you didn't realize, which, by the way, I did, but if you didn't, for whatever reason, realize that there is an inherent difference between boys and girls, have a kid, because that difference will be so transparently obvious that you can't ignore it. And and this is the part that crushes me when I see what's happening to young boys right now, is that there is no pardon the term, there is no safe space for boys. There is no place for boys to go and hang out and be boys. The I mean, really the extent of what's left remso Is your sports teams right on your high school and your college teams and your professional teams. But even still, that is starting to be creeped into like you talked about boys going into girls sports. Now, in the name of inclusivity, we're seeing a destruction of what makes us different, and it is those differences that make us special, like it. Go back to the Incredibles. I watched The Incredibles back in the day, one of my favorite Pixar movies. I made sure my little daughter, she watched it as well, and we were on vacation back last month. And as we're watching The Incredibles, there's that one famous scene with syndrome, and he's laughing, he's just walking away, and he goes, because when everyone's super, no one will be. And that's what's happening right now. When everyone's equal, no one will be. You want to have those special things, too bad, because those special things give you an advantage rim, though. So what we're going to do is we're going to bring you down a level, and maybe those folks who need a little hand up, we're going to push them up a little but what happens no, we're bringing everybody down and maybe just a little bit up, but we're collectively going further and further down away from the things that make us special, versus saying, hey, the folks who need some help. What are the things you guys do? Great. Where can we help you differentiate, I'm in the contact center space. I work with with contact center companies all day long. And if I were to bring a massive contact center company to the table to one customer. And then bring a small hole in the wall provider to the same exact customer. The positives and negatives that each of those providers as it pertains to that customer's needs are going to be so stark, because the big provider is going to be able to do anything and everything, but that small provider probably has one or two things that they've identified is like a really cool value add that the big provider either offers but doesn't do it really well, or was like, is that really worth US digging into, investing into? We're just gonna let those small providers do that. And guess what? That's a chance for that small provider to double down and make that valuable service or solution shine and be different and use that difference to help propel them forward. And I've seen this time and again a man when, like, you have these small providers in this space, they start to do something unique, something special, and they completely disrupt the market. But if we didn't create a situation where you you were let me rewind that. If you create a situation instead where you're bringing that large provider down and trying to bump up that smaller provider, you're now just getting rid of the actual differentiators that actually matter, that hold the big provider in check and actually give the small provider a competitive advantage. How does this all relate to diversity, equity and inclusion with the scouts? Because you're taking away the very important, unique things that are brought by both men in their camps and women in their camps. I was just having this conversation, what two days ago, with a girl I met at the summit, we're talking about, like childbirth, and I was like, that's a freaking superpower. You create life. Think about that. You make people. You, you are a Xerox machine for human beings. How insane I know. I know, how insane though, that that's your superpower, and that people try to make it so that you are just a birthing person, getting rid of that really, like that special thing that makes you, you as a woman and men, we are the protectors. We're the providers. That's something special, inherently as a dude, and it's this assault on what the roles were and why they were there to create this just big blob of gray. This this equality in the name of equality, it is destructive. It moves us backwards, and it doesn't hold up in the real world. And when you try to push this shit on folks in the real world, there are real world consequences, and not in the best of ways, which to where we are today. Scouts America facing the lowest enrollment numbers they've seen ever, and we've seen a just collapse of masculinity, confusion and tension between the sexes and things are objectively worse for both the Boy Scouts, scouts, America and the Girl Scouts, because now the Girl Scouts, which were their own unique thing, are now starting to find that their demographic, young girls are Now being split. So now those girls are going to scouts America or to the Girl Scouts, thus helping decrease the value that that individual organization is bringing to the table. So I will get off my soapbox now. Remso, but it is so important for us to get out of the the and this is the online world, right? The group think world that we see. We find ourselves in our bubbles. You say something controversial, you get shouted down by 50 different voices in your own little echo chamber, because that's not principle, and it turns into okay, I guess we can't talk about this, and we're gonna let this cancer fester until it explodes and becomes a really big issue. This is a really big issue. We have to talk about it. We have to be willing to talk about it, and maybe willing to let other perspectives that aren't in line with the contemporary like three by five card of allowable opinion. You got to be able to allow different voices come to the table and challenge narratives. So that's my thoughts on the Boy Scouts. Any thoughts you wanted to to add in there? Remzo, anything I missed?

Remso Martinez  38:59  
No, I agree with everything you said. The only thing I'd add is like, you know, this is not an attack of CO Ed spaces. No, you know, I love doing certain things with women.

Brian Nichols  39:07  
And let's understand that there are spaces, though, that are important just for dudes and just for chicks.

Remso Martinez  39:12  
And I mean, this was really, and I mean Nick fratis really brings up in the video, like, this is for teaching young boys how to be young men, yes. And, you know, like, yeah, my my father was in the military. He was active Army, and he deployed all the time. My first memory of my father, and I mean, this sounds bad, but like my first memory of my dad was when I was seven years old. I know that my dad was around. I knew I had a father, but my father was deployed in Korea. My father was constantly, you know, moving around and stuff like that. My parents were married, but, you know, my mom was an Army spouse. My dad was gone a lot. My mom had to pick up a lot of the masculine father role as well as the mother role, because she was essentially a. Parent for like, seven years, and so, you know, we moved and he got a different, you know, position in the army. And, like, we saw him more often. But like, you know, my mom could not be my father, and expecting my mom to be my father was hard on your dog to be your cat or your goldfish to be your cow, but at the end of the day, it's like, even though my mom was the parent that had the primary function of raising me in my life, at the end of the day, when I still had to look at what a man is like, I still had to look at my father. Yep, and it's not to discount anything that my mother did. My mother had, you know, my dad was deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan. He had several year long deployments in Africa. Like, my dad was gone a lot during my Wait. Your dad served in Korea all the way through up to Iraq. He was in Korea in the 90s. And, oh, okay, like, okay,

Brian Nichols  40:55  
1950s

Remso Martinez  40:56  
everyone, everyone, uh, everyone in the military who's active duty does like a career Germany deployment, but my dad, like, usually, they're there for one year. My dad was in Korea from 1993 to 1995 he flew back to where I was born, in Arizona to see me be born, for like a week. And then he was back in Korea. And then from 1998 to 2000 he did a two year tour in Korea. And then, you know, we were around for a while, but then he was in Iraq during the surge. He was in Iraq for 15 months, and then he was in Afghanistan for, I think, 13 months, and then he went ahead and did a 15 month deployment in Afghanistan. But that doesn't also cover all the two week to three, four month long schools and tour of duties and everything else. So like, my dad was gone all the time, so while my mom had to be the father at the end of the day, the only father I could really look to is my father. And you know, teaching young boys to be young men like you, need a male space for that. Now, when I was in Cub Scouts, I had a female troop leader because she was the only parent who was willing to do it, but we still had the fathers get involved. And then when I got to Boy Scouts, you know, we had all the, like, retirees in the area who stepped up to be Scout masters, because they knew at that point it's like, yeah, like, you can't have women supporting but you need men to guide the boys, yep. And, you know that's, that's the hard truth of it. Like, if you want us generation of men raised only by women, it's different, and we see a lot of that now. That's why you have so many you know men, you know, you know. Look at the black community, for example. You have a lot of men who don't know how to properly be men because their moms took care of them, and they took that for granted. They didn't know how to treat women, they didn't know how to treat each other, and they don't know how to be men when they have children. By the way, you ever see that video,

Brian Nichols  42:52  
and it's it's like a breakdown of just how to easily understand the difference between men and women. And it's like two golden retriever dogs, and there's like, a bunch of puppies, and the puppies are all wild and crazy, and the the mom German or German shepherd's like, at them, trying to get him to stop. And then the dad German Shepherd goes roof, and all the little dogs are like, they just sit. They're quiet. They sit and they don't do anything. That's nature, like, I'm sorry, feelings. Don't care about your nature. I'm almost turned to Ben Shapiro, facts, facts don't care about your feelings.

Remso Martinez  43:30  
I had somebody once say that he went to school for psychology at Virginia Tech, and his liberal professor wanted to do a nature versus nurture experiment. So he experimented on his daughter. He took away all of her dolls and gave her only trucks. And she was like, four or five. And then one day he came home and saw her cradling a semi truck and holding like a small little car in front of it. And he was like, Sweetheart, what are you doing? And the the little girl said, the mommy truck is trying to talk to baby truck. Yeah,

Brian Nichols  44:01  
dude, no that, but that's the thing, it, and we try to understand it. It is inherent in who we are. Like, my daughter is trying to, like, nurture a baby bear. She's 16 months old, she she hasn't been programmed or, like, conditioned by society. But this is just, it's there. It's inherent. It is part of we'll leave that where that is actually. This is actually remzo. Funny enough. A great segue to our next topic. Reminder, folks, you are joining us here. Live on our AMP America. Brian Nichols, show Week in review, we're looking at some of the top stories here from the past week. I hope you are enjoying today's conversation, and if so, please head to the comments. Let us know your thoughts, and if we get some stuff wrong. Well, of course you have to tell us what we got wrong. But remzo, we're going to go ahead and check out this last article. This. It's same church, different pew. This kind of goes back to what we were talking about here, the differences between men and women, but a little bit in terms of. Of some social what standards does the stuff that you're supposed to, um, I say supposed to, it's just, it's tradition, it's stuff that we kind of look at and we say, Yeah, isn't that just normal? And that is men, you should be the ones proposing to chicks. Um, and we just saw this at the Olympics. We had a female Olympian, she she what she get, like bronze or something when she finished the race, and then she went over and, as it says here in this article by Michael know Michael Knowles, over at The Daily wire, she then got into one knee and proposed to her long term boyfriend. So Renzo. Where is is Michael Right? It should women not propose marriage to men? Or is this just a like anti woman backwards perspective from Mr. Michael Knowles,

Remso Martinez  45:50  
I might, I might juxtapose myself compared to everything I just said in the previous segment, but I think, I think he misses a question in the article, which is, Why would, why would a woman want to do this? And why would a woman

Brian Nichols  46:02  
want to do this? Remzo,

Remso Martinez  46:04  
I see this a lot with with my with my female friends who are like career professionals and stuff, and they want to go ahead, and they want to get in a relationship with somebody, and then they end up being in a relationship with them for years, and there's no real guidance as to where the relationship is going. And when you ask them, it's almost become, like, an inappropriate question. And I get it because people used to ask us to me, which is, I was with my wife for seven years before we got married, like, here's the thing, like, and I explicitly told her, I want to marry you. I do. I'm broke, and I live at home, and I didn't have a job at the time. So like, I was very upfront about it. Was like, I want to marry you, but I have to be able to support myself so I could support you. So like, I was very upfront about that very early on, and she held on until we got married seven years later. We've been together since 2015 we've only been married for two years. And people are like, Oh, you're just in your relationship. I'm like, man, like, I was dating this chick when we had a black president. Okay, I was dating her during Obama term too. So, like, we've been around for a minute, but you know, for going back to some of my friends, it's like they're waiting for their guys to go ahead and propose to them, and they're just, they're yearning for, and for a lot of them that are like, in their early 30s, pushing, you know, mid 30s, they're like, man, like, there's a clock on this shit, like, you got to lock it in or let me know. I think a lot of men, because, you know, what you've seen, especially post pandemic, is there was a there was a bump in marriage, there's a slight decrease in divorces. But when you look at the last 30 years, divorces are still at historically high levels. Marriages are still at historically low levels. When you look at it big picture, but with this, I think a lot of men are avoiding marriage for many a reason, and I think to kind of tie into the last topic, it's I don't think men think of themselves as men, much like many women don't think of themselves as adults. I think there's a lot of people are like, Well, I am I adult enough to get married yet? But the thing is that men are men are the ones that are dragging on marriage, and ultimately, I don't think there's a problem if the woman wants to propose simply because, if she's been in a relationship with you understand, the value of men goes up with age. The value of women, just in like the dating market just goes down. And I'm not making a judgment on that. That's just how it is. Younger women will go for older men. Younger men will not go for older women. Older men will go for younger women. That's just how it is. So if you've been in a relationship and like they've been in a relationship for some time, this athlete for her to basically say, Listen, man, like I made the question easy for you, do you want to marry me or not? It's good that he said, Yes. I wish them nothing but a happy marriage, a fruitful family and fruitful life, but like it shouldn't have gotten to that point. I don't see this as a judgment call on women, and I would not begrudge a woman who did that. What I would say, though, is, do you want to be the man whose woman proposes to you? Right? And it's nothing on her like good for her, for knowing her worth, and for making making a stand. Like, are you gonna marry me or not? Yep. So I don't blame the women in this situation at all. I think that more women, actually, if you're in a relationship, maybe not drop down one knee and propose, but define the relationship be like, Dude, are we getting married or not? Like, what is this? And what I hate right now is of the Zoomers and some Millennials the term situationship, and this, this is how, this is how I tell people I've been out of the dating market for close to a decade now. And it's like, I don't know how this thing works. Like, I met my wife at a party in college. College, like, as, like, you know, old school as it gets. I met her at a party in college, but I have a friend who was in a situationship, and I was like, What the fuck is that? And she's like, well, we're a thing, and we make out sometimes, but we're not, like, exclusive, and we're not really dating. I'm like, oh, so, you know, we used to call that having a fuck buddy. And they're like, No, we're not that. We're not, we're not there yet. You know, we have some boundaries. I'm like, oh, so like, this guy is taking you on not dates. You're making out with this dude. You only hang out with this dude. But okay, I'm not gonna judge you because you didn't fuck him yet. It's like, Okay, call it, call it what it is. But you know, they're, they're never gonna move on to anything, because if he is a person and said, Listen, I'm interested in you. I care for you. I like you, I want to be exclusive with you and see where this goes. That's a that's a failure on men. Men have failed in that.

Brian Nichols  50:48  
So I also see that there is going back to our previous topic, the lack of masculinity in modern men, to know what you're supposed to do. What does leading as a man look like now, back to your point. This is not to be like the trying to discriminate or trying to not the he man woman haters club. No, no. We're trying to explain how we got to where we are, right. And it starts with acknowledging reality that there are fundamental biological differences between men and women. That's not trying to be insensitive, that's just being real. So when we take that as the starting off point that there is 1,000% a biological difference, then we also have to talk about, okay, well, with those biological differences, what is happening societally that's pushing men to not act on those biological drivers, and in this case, one of those biological drivers is to lead you. Men are bigger, stronger. They that is a physical difference than men, which, by biological design, puts them in a better position to lead. That's why I forget the stat. But how many presidents are six foot, six foot tall or higher, right? Because there is this biological thing inside of us that looks to big, strong, tall men as leaders, we have to, like, stop saying like, well, it shouldn't be that way. It is that you can try to make it different, but there are reasons that men have traditionally had those leadership roles. Now is that to say that women shouldn't have leadership roles, not at all. And that's the part that we have to, like, stop with the knee jerk reaction of, Oh, you mean this? Well, it's the the Jordan Peterson, so what you're saying is, right with the Kathy Newman interview, that's what happens when we have these conversations. So we have to go back to men. You have a role in society as men, and that's okay. Your job is to help lead. Your job is to be the supporter, the person who is putting themselves Yes, in harm's way many times, but you're doing so in defense of something greater. It is your family, it is the traditions, it is the values, right? And to try to keep society moving forward. And this is something remzo, I would love to get your thoughts on this, is there something inherently missing when we're talking about advancing society from a woman's perspective? And I'm asking you, obviously, as a woman, but with that in mind, right? Like, is there something where men we see, like the future we see two generations, three generations ahead, and I'm like, where we are today, I have to build X, Y and Z in order to help set that generation up for success in the future. Is there something inherently missing in that mindset when it comes to the opposite sex? And if so, where is that discrepancy coming from and is there something we can do to fix

Remso Martinez  53:43  
it? I have, you know, I come from a family of extremely strong women, and the one thing that do they lift like, how much do they bench? Well, not one of them, my great grandmother. And I did not know this until she passed away about two years ago. My great grandmother was a whack. She was part of the women's Air Corps in World War Two damn so they flew domestic patrol flights along the coast of the United States looking out for German U boats. But she went on to become an educator. She was a teacher, she was a principal, and I think eventually she became like a superintendent for a school district near Orlando, Florida. And you know, my my great grandfather, who died, was not a good man. He was not a good man, serial cheater, had many children with many different women, was not good to his his children, was not good to his grandchildren. Was just not a good person, and he was not good to my grandmother. And that's an example, like, my great grandfather is an example of a man who failed to be a man. And I'm not popular for my family for saying that, but it's true, yep. But like, we all have men. We all have those folks, like, like, you know he was not a man, like, he just wasn't you. But you know, my, my great grandmother, while she took on a a role during war time of all things like she still like she would pack lunches for when my, when my grandmother died, my father was the eldest in his family, when my, when my grandmother died, my great grandmother was the one who packed them lunches. My great grandmother was the one who tutored him after school, and she allowed my grandfather, who's still around as he was, being a single father. To all his credit, she allowed him to be the father, and while she may have, you know, disagreed with him or something else, or want to do something different, like she understood, it's like, you know, like I'm not replacing their mom for, you know, my dad's siblings and stuff, but they need a female force in their life. And she allowed my grandfather to be the father, and she took on that female role in their life. And I think that's one of those things where, when I look at it like, you know, I look at my mother, my mother had to take on the father role. And I was hard on my mother as a child and a teenager and as a young man, even when I was in the military and stuff like, you know, my mom got conditioned to a role where she was like, I have to be mom and dad, because dad is working, because dad's at war, because dad's doing something else. And it wasn't until she kind of started to, like, calm down as my brother and I became adults and everything. But now my mom has really stepped more into, like, that nurturing, you know, feminine mother role, but like she was doing what she had to do. And I see that for fathers that have to take on the mother role as well widowers and, you know, fathers who have wives that are high net worth individuals, and it's in a position where they agree that one parent has to stay at home and take care of the kids, and the father takes on that role. But I think it understands knowing who we are. My great grandmother could be a whack pilot. She could also be the woman who makes her grandson a sandwich to make sure that he goes to school. And you know, like many of these, things can be true at the same time, when I was a soldier, and I never said it publicly then, because I didn't want to get in trouble. But, like, I was not for women serving in combat arms roles. I was not for women being in Special Forces selection. I was not for women being able to go to Ranger School. That's not the same as women cannot be in the military. A lot of my favorite people were women in the military. I just said, I think that those roles should be men, roles, everything else can be an equal playing field. And you know, many of my favorite officers who were MPs, who are combat medics, who were engineers, who were, you know, in charge of, like, you know, convoy groups and stuff, were women. But when it came to those specific things, I was like, I don't think women should be Rangers, I don't think women should be Green Berets, I don't think women should be infantry men, but that that's not saying women should not be soldiers. So I think, you know, if you drift one way or another on these things, those things can be true. But the end of the day, men are men and men are women. And it goes beyond biology. It goes beyond expectations and who we're wired to be. And people could take that from a religious point. They could take it from whatever point they want. But men are men, and women are women. And we can only do the things that we were born to do. We could do a lot of things, but we will always do better at the things we were born to do. Here,

Brian Nichols  58:20  
here, remso Martinez, we're gonna put a pin in today's conversation for our Week in Review. This is Brian Nichols and remso Martinez. Amp America. Brian Nichols, show Week in Review, going over all the top articles here from this past week over at amp America, plus we brought in a special article from daily wire from Michael know Michael Knowles, I don't know why I'm having trouble with his last name today. Michael Knowles, it must be I'm tired. It's a Saturday morning. And yes, by the way, folks, we're sorry we didn't get the chance to do this live on Friday. We usually do our Friday mornings. But hey, life happens. I was in a car driving back from Nashville, so here I am today with remzo on a Saturday morning, and I've been seeing folks jump in and out here of the live stream. Great to see. So thank you for joining with us on a bright and early Saturday morning as we were talking about yes, our Week in Review. Now, folks, as you know, here at the Brian Nichols show, we have three shows per week on Mondays, we do our guest interviews. So this past week, we had Chad Stewart here on the show. He was talking all things, creating awesome stories outside of the traditional Hollywood infrastructure. How do you do that? Go ahead, check out that conversation. Great episode there with Chad on Wednesday, we had a little overview of my Brian's briefings, talking about how to get out of your group. Think how to get out of your echo chamber, and the dangers therein of being stuck in an echo chamber. Specifically to libertarians, not liberty Republicans, I think they kind of get it, but libertarians, both big L and small and the small l libertarians who maybe are politically homeless, that episode is particularly special for you. So please go ahead. You

Unknown Speaker  59:55  
want to see something funny? Brian, yeah, please

Brian Nichols  59:57  
show me something funny. Oh, where is i? Long as you're not bending over,

Unknown Speaker  1:00:01  
it's this is happening in real time. Where is

Brian Nichols  1:00:04  
it? As rams? I was finding it here.

Speaker 1  1:00:06  
This is the final thing. This show itself. I got like, four of these trading

Unknown Speaker  1:00:11  
cards, the Donald

Unknown Speaker  1:00:12  
Trump survives. How

Brian Nichols  1:00:16  
much did you spend on that? Please tell me.

Remso Martinez  1:00:18  
I bought four of these for like, 90 bucks. I got them as gag gifts. I'm giving this to my barber who collects I'm gonna get hair captures. I'm giving us him, he collects trading cards and stuff. And I'm like, you know, like, this is I just, I have no point to make. I just wanted to show because I thought it was funny.

Brian Nichols  1:00:34  
So what they need to do is, I'm not sure, for folks who play the Pokemon trading card game, back in the day, by the way, I was one of those nerds. Let's create a like a politics training card, Trump assassination attempt, take 10 points off your your leader, or something like that, and then, like Trump had blue eyes,

Remso Martinez  1:00:53  
white dragon would be Dick Cheney in the woods with the shotgun.

Brian Nichols  1:01:00  
Bring up a Schedule F, that's Trump's like super move, and it just it nukes out like the entire base of your opponents, like opponents deck or something. Okay, Rem, so we have a business opportunity here. We're gonna have to dig into Pokemon trading card games for politics. I like it. I like it. Okay, we can, we can have some fun with this. Like,

Unknown Speaker  1:01:20  
this has legs, yeah,

Brian Nichols  1:01:23  
like a Vivek Rama Swami card. He's like a sorcerer, or like something he can, like, use magic to convince people's brains to switch

Remso Martinez  1:01:31  
on. May she just walks around. If, like, Nikki Haley's spine,

Brian Nichols  1:01:37  
you have, you have, who, Barack Obama, his his special is like drone bombing, and just like you get to target one of your opponents players, but because of the the excess of casualties from the drone bombing, you also end up removing some of your own cards. There's a lot of fun. We could have your

Speaker 1  1:01:55  
suicide card, where your character kills itself with no explanation.

Brian Nichols  1:02:02  
Clinton, suicide, go to your deck and remove three card.

Unknown Speaker  1:02:05  
Secretary,

Brian Nichols  1:02:11

Remso Martinez  1:04:06  
gotta start getting some notes down for that political Pokemon. We gotta get jump on that man.

Brian Nichols  1:04:10  
The political Pokemon the Bill Clinton card is you get to take one of your opponents, bench players and put it on your bench, but it has to be directly below the Bill Clinton card.

Remso Martinez  1:04:24  
The John McCain card is Megan McCain wearing the face of her father like leather face from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, screaming, my dad, my dad and you just scream so loud that people could become deaf.

Brian Nichols  1:04:40  
Rems said it not me.

Speaker 1  1:04:43  
I will wear the pelt of my father to remind you who I am.

Brian Nichols  1:04:49  
The Joe Biden card is just like Necromancer, just holding a dead body by like a puppet.

Remso Martinez  1:04:54  
It's sleepy Joe, no matter like what state you're in, he automatically moves. On to the next round with

Brian Nichols  1:05:01  
George Bush. George Bucha card is, uh, it's demolition. And you can take down big buildings with an airplane.

Remso Martinez  1:05:08  
Okay, that's way worse than my John McCain one.
