In a shocking pre-election bombshell, as Ron Paul and Elon Musk join forces in a potential Trump administration, New York state's killing of a beloved Instagram-famous squirrel becomes a rallying cry against government overreach, revealing how bureaucrats will dispatch more agents to euthanize a family pet than secure the border – a wake-up call that's converting longtime Democrats and uniting an unlikely coalition of voters just days before the election.
Is Ron Paul teaming up with Elon Musk in a potential Trump administration? And why did a viral squirrel with half a million Instagram followers become the unexpected martyr that's uniting the right? In this explosive pre-election episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian and Remso Martinez dive deep into the most bizarre and significant developments shaping the 2024 election landscape.

Breaking news: Former libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul and tech billionaire Elon Musk appear to be joining forces to tackle government waste in a potential Trump administration. Brian and Remso explore what this unexpected alliance could mean for the liberty movement and why some libertarians are puzzlingly resistant to what could be their biggest policy win in decades.
The tragic story of Peanut the Squirrel has become an unlikely rallying cry against government overreach after New York state agents raided his owner's home and euthanized the beloved social media star. The hosts dissect how this incident perfectly encapsulates the growing concern over unchecked bureaucratic power and why it's resonating so deeply across political lines.
In a shocking personal revelation, Brian Nichols - a longtime Trump critic - explains why he cast his vote for Trump in 2024, offering a thoughtful analysis of strategic voting theory and why principles without pragmatism lead nowhere. The discussion challenges libertarians to rethink their approach to electoral politics and consider the real-world implications of their voting decisions.
The hosts also tackle the patronizing politics of gender in the 2024 election, examining why liberal women are suddenly "giving permission" to conservative women to vote their conscience, and what this reveals about the changing dynamics of identity politics. With just days until the election, this episode provides crucial insights into the forces that could determine America's future.

This week on our AMP America Week in Review, Ron Paul and Elon Musk team up in eye positions in Trump's potential cabinet. But what's really behind the scenes here for this unexpected Alliance later, the heartbreaking end of peanut, the squirrel whose half million Instagram followers couldn't save him from government intervention. And an explosive opinion piece asked, Why are liberal women suddenly giving permission to conservative women to vote their conscience? The patronizing politics of gender viral pets paying the ultimate price. And a tech billionaires, political ambitions. You don't want to miss it. Welcome to the Brian Nichols show. Sing 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, folks. Brian Nichols here on another fun film episode of The Brian Nichols show, our aunt America Week in review, we are coming to you live over on x this evening. Yes, happy Saturday. Oh man, election season. It's right around the corner. And by saying right around the corner, it's like three days away. And we got a lot on the the agenda to talk to you today. Originally, we were going to record first thing this morning, but I need to make sure I had my co host right here with me. So we pushed it a little bit to this afternoon, and you guys are going to look forward to this. I guarantee joining me today from amp America, the one and only. Remzo Martinez, how you doing, buddy? This
Remso Martinez 1:38
is, I can say, without a doubt, the most stressful election cycle I have ever experienced.
Brian Nichols 1:49
It's weird, man. It okay. So October, we've always heard the October surprise, right? October surprise. This election cycle, there was no surprise. It was like election surprises across the board. We have the sitting President of the United States calling half of the American electorate garbage. We have now Ron Paul and Elon Musk seemingly teaming up to help reduce government scope and waste. We got a little squirrel who apparently has been a just social media star for what, a few years, at this point, being assassinated. Dare I say it, by the DEC the Department of Environmental Conservation in New York State, lots of stuff going on here. Remzo, yeah, it doesn't feel like a normal October surprise. No,
Remso Martinez 2:40
I mean, T PAIN dressed up as Trump at his Halloween concert. Nicki Minaj this week, went ahead and endorsed Trump. And you know, this is just, this is just everything. And, I mean, what's wild is, and I say this very publicly because I don't want to, like, jinx myself. I mean, I try not to think that I am the single source of bad luck, but usually when I vote, that seems to be the case. But I put money on Trump on Wednesday and he was like 67% and I'm not sponsored by this is on that app, Kashi, K, a, l, S, H, I Kashi. Or when I say, it sounds like the cereal, but, you know, I put a little bit of money on Trump winning, and he was at 67% Wednesday afternoon, and I put some money on Republicans winning majority of the House same time. So my Republican odds went super high, and then Trump dropped like 16 points. Like, that's pretty wild. I just everything is just in the in the air at this point, and I've gotten calls and text messages all day, as people know I'm supporting our friends at the Pennsylvania Chase. And everyone's like, this poll says this, and this poll says this, here's my thing. Like, I already voted. I put in a lot of effort, and I'm going to be putting in a lot of effort for our friends up until the moment the polls close Monday, and then after that, the rest is just kind of like in God's hands. There's not much more, you know, we can do beyond that. I mean, I'm really proud of this cycle. I'm seeing a lot of folks finally wise up to the stakes that we're dealing with. I'm glad that the RNC is actually like, you know, taking fights and starting lawsuits before, as we're catching things, you know, before, the results are in, and not just fighting after, when nothing can really be done. I'm glad that folks are actually supporting the grassroots efforts, the Pennsylvania Chase Turning Point action, early vote action, and they're actually, you know, helping those on the ground Liberty warriors do what they need to do. And this is, this is for all the marbles really, like, are, you know, I try not to say that, you know, like, World War Three is going to break out if you know Trump loses, but like, that could possibly happen. And, you know, it's just at the point where it's like, I can keep looking at the betting odds, I can keep looking at the polls, I can keep looking at the news. Needs. But it all ends in three days. Three days will be years worth of efforts. You know, I've been doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff for over a year and a half now. And, you know, four years ago, post parlor and everything, I was very much like, I just gotta, you know, I felt like Obi Wan Kenobi, almost no, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna equate myself to Obi Wan Kenobi. I was Obi Wan Kenobi. You know, I escaped to tattooing, and I was just doing my thing. I'm like, the Jedi Order is destroyed. The Republic has been replaced by the Empire. All my friends are on the run, and I don't know, you know if, if the if the force is gonna help me or not. And I very much stayed my little cold hermit life here in Wisconsin, and I was quiet, and I was just like, I'm never getting involved, until the Rebel Alliance swooped in one day and said, Listen, remzo and Kenobi are one of our only hopes, I won't say the only help, because there are a lot of great people doing a lot of great work, more so than I but this is it, man, like we got to take out the fucking death star, because it's aimed directly at us right now, indirect us. And Brian, you've said a lot of negative things about these people and you're on their list. I'm on their list. A lot of our people that we like are on their list. A guy who looked at Kamala, you know, a Kamala Harris side eye at one point, like five years ago, is probably on the list. Like, things are things are not looking good. I'm actually seeing Democrats on X just randomly on conservative posts. Just say you're going to jail. Like they so actively despise us, and it's just like, You know what? I'm not gonna I'm not gonna match your hate with hate. I'm just gonna match your hate with hustle. And that's all we can do. That's all
Brian Nichols 6:52
and speaking of matching hate with hustle, right? You look over the past five years, I think it's fair to say that the one American who wasn't even born here, he's a tough, working immigrant, and that is Elon Musk remzo.
Remso Martinez 7:07
American rumor has it Minaj,
Brian Nichols 7:14
he's diligently trying to get Donald Trump into office, and I don't know if he's saying, you know, we gotta, we gotta find someone that we can bring in to court these libertarians. Because I think Elon Musk is starting to feel more libertarian ish the more he moves along in his political journey. And he just said, you know, what? Heck with it, let's call out the big guns. And by the big guns, how about Ron Paul? Um, which, I mean, I don't, I don't know. Is there anybody in the libertarian circle except for the dorks and the the losers, um, out there. Sorry, guys, it's just reality. Um, who hate Ron Paul? Yeah, they'd be like, Oh, he's got bad newsletters. That's, that's literally the number one argument here. Um, when you look at someone like a Ron Paul who, let's be real. He was the only libertarian, small l libertarian, who's even even made a sniff away from the White House now, Ron Paul, he's sitting there in his retirement, in his golden years, and then Elon Musk comes on nowhere, and says, hey, Ron Paul, do you want to help me reduce government bloat and waste? And Ron Paul's like, Sign me up. REMSA, what's going on here?
Remso Martinez 8:23
Man, our good friend Dan smotz from the system is down. Put out a repost on x, and he was basically like, Hey, Big L libertarians, tell me how Elon Musk and Ron Paul teaming up with a potential Trump administration is a bad thing. And you know, this is one of those things where it's like, this isn't all the marbles. Type of situation like this is a you win everything or you lose everything, type of situation, not to quote actors and celebrities, but Zachary Levi Shazam went ahead and brought this up during an interview last week. He went ahead and said, Listen, conservative celebrities you know, remotely not communist celebrities like you have to come out and speak truth and use your platforms now, or else you will never have this opportunity. Because this is one of those moments where, just like, after, you know, Biden took the election, that they were putting out lists of anyone that had ever worked at the Trump administration, they were removing bank accounts of political activists. They were de platforming people. I mean, it was a scary period. I mean, in you, you had all the COVID stuff in the middle of that where you know they were threatening people's livelihoods regarding the vaccine. We know how horrible they are. And the only reason they stopped being as horrible, at least outwardly facing, is because we were an election year, and I just don't get I don't fucking understand, I'm sorry for language, but I just really don't fucking understand people who don't understand the stakes we're in. I'm trying not to sound as hyperbolic as a lot of these people on the left. I went ahead and saw Mark Ruffalo and. At Kamala Harris rally, and he was basically saying, you know, dooms day if Trump wins. And I'm not going to try and like, match that, but it's one of the situations where it's like, we know we're objectively right. We know we're objectively right. That's the thing. This isn't that well, that's just your opinion type of situation. No, we know we are objectively right. And you can tell who is right by those who don't want to incriminate and harm their neighbors, by those who are advocating against war, by those who are fighting for a greater expansion of freedoms, for those who understand we live in a pluralist society, and that we can't just force every force our ideas down everyone's throats. You look at who is bringing people together across the political spectrum? It's not Kamala Harris, it's Donald Trump, and whether you like him or not is not the relevant point, but you understand the stakes you're in. And I see these people, I went ahead and posted this today, and I'm glad that Ron Paul came out, because that's the closest thing we're going to get to a Ron Paul endorses Trump type of deal, because it's a package you want, Elon, you got to vote for Trump. Yup. I'm still seeing these people in North Carolina, in Georgia, in Wisconsin, voting for libertarian Chase Oliver voting for Jill Stein. And it's like, listen, libertarians, I want to talk directly to you. Do it.
Brian Nichols 11:30
Oh, he's even got a deep breath, wow. You know it's gonna be good.
Remso Martinez 11:35
If you want your fucking drug kingpin released from prison, you have to vote for Donald Trump, or else he will die there. Who is that? By the way, what's his name? Ross Ulbrich. If you want Ross Ulbrich to die in prison, vote for anyone other than Trump. But if you want him to step out in sunlight and breathe fresh air and see his family before he dies. Donald Trump is the only, the only human on Earth who will do that. Yeah, but Chase say, do it. Chase. Oliver isn't gonna win. Jill Stein isn't gonna win. Kamala Harris has never even said Russ ulbrick's name out loud, yep, you know Cato libertarians, reason libertarians entitled quads. Like, I don't know what else to say. Like, if that's your single issue, and I know that there are single issue voters on that that's the only thing that matters. But I want to see like Ryan try and try and explain this to me. How can people look at Elon Musk teaming up with Ron Paul in a potential Trump 2.0 presidency? And say
Speaker 1 12:54
that's nice, but I am not gonna help that happen.
Brian Nichols 12:59
I have two answers for you. One, Trump derangement syndrome, TDS, it's everywhere. Is rampant, and unfortunately, there is no nor known cure. That is besides, folks starting to wake up on their own, right? It's one of those. It's just it has to come from within. That's number one. Number two, this is happening, and it's not happening per the plan that the the old guard, the Libertarians of yester year, who keep screaming to the ideas of supporting folks like Gary Johnson or Joe Jorgensen, you know that the chase Oliver crowd, the idea that we are going to have an opportunity, right? I'm not guaranteeing. I'm saying we have an opportunity to actually get legitimate libertarians at the table to have very real input on the policy conversations for the first time, literally the first time in history, versus the idea of well, if we just continually promote our principles and we lead with just how great we are, that we'll just get people on board. Guess what? That hasn't worked. I I've called out for the past five years, and I've been trying to teach libertarians How to Sell liberty. It's not going to work. You don't sell the ISM, right? You sell the outcomes that the ISM provides the problems it solves. But a lot of our libertarian friends can't get out of their own way to actually understand that number one. But it goes to this idea of remzo. This is happening, and it's not happening per their plan, right? They had been. They just dug their heels in. They've been screaming until they're blue in the face that
Speaker 2 14:39
this won't work. You're you're gonna embrace somebody like Trump. Oh, yeah. What
Brian Nichols 14:43
are you gonna get out of it? Huh? What are you gonna get I have an idea. Ron Paul at the sea at the table, Vivek Ramaswamy, a seat at the table. Dare I say, somebody like, I don't know an Elon Musk who, no, he's not overtly libertarian, but he's been drifting more and more away. Oh, and by the way, the world's richest man. You. And he's in they're paying attention to us. He's paying attention to us. And I'm not. I know there's a lot of libertarians. Oh, so you're just waiting for them to call you pretty No, no, we actually have a chance to have a seat at the table where the conversations that are shaping our country are being held. And if you want to, instead, not have a seat at that table, but rather have a seat at your your little you know, group, group chat, and you're sitting there thinking you're changing the world with the 30 other folks in your group who think and say the exact same things you do. I'm sorry, one is an objective win and the other is an objective lose for losers. So pick which way you want to go and to libertarians who are sitting and listening today live as we are on Twitter. Thanks. Thanks for the folks who've been jumping into the comments already. Hear this. If you go and vote for Chase Oliver with the assumption that your vote is going to yield a positive, tangible emphasis on the word tangible, pro Liberty outcome, I have a bridge down the road to sell you, but if you're a libertarian who has been sitting and watching the Libertarian Party, Big L Libertarian Party, make a fool of itself for literally years, and now see an avenue to not just have your ideas reach different folks, but actually get these ideas into policy. This is the no the biggest no brainers of no brainers, and the fact remso that there are people who question that this is a positive I have, I'm sorry I have no words for you. I don't have any, you know, any like sales pitch to them. They are not our target market. I don't need to go. I don't need to go. Nor should I have to go and try and persuade already existing libertarians that this is an objective win. So I'm not going to, no, I'm going to do I'm going to take the momentum that we're getting from someone like a an Elon Musk like yes, can't believe I'm saying this a Donald Trump who's bringing these voices to the table and now introducing these voices to a brand new audience of folks who never have heard libertarianism before, seeing folks like JD Vance sent a podcast say, you know, I never really have bought into a lot of the Ron Paul stuff, but I'm coming around doing the Federal Reserve what Come on. That's a win. And we again, we have to stop being allergic to winning. This is where I get so just pissed off with libertarians. They refuse, refuse to actually go and have a legitimate conversation, right about what a win looks like. They want to like, move the goal posts around quite a bit to say, like, Oh well, I had 13 people show up to my Libertarian Party sit down here in my county where I'm the LP treasurer. That's a win, okay, relative to an audience of 10s of 1000s of people who have never heard the ideas of liberty before. Sorry, I'm ranting. I
Remso Martinez 18:08
know that that is being like the the coolest person at the special ed table.
Brian Nichols 18:17
Oh, oh, it's true, and it hurts.
Remso Martinez 18:20
I'm sorry. There are people that there are libertarians, telling folks, I think it's in New Hampshire not to vote for Lily Tang Williams.
Brian Nichols 18:28
Are there really?
Unknown Speaker 18:30
Oh yeah.
Brian Nichols 18:31
Oh man, straight, straight, straight off, straight into hell, by the way, I so I gave one call to action when I was on Tim pool show back in 2022 my call to action was when Lily was launching her campaign to go and donate for her. And guess what? We got the most donations for Lily Tang Williams of any of the other times, except, I'm guessing immediately after her most recent appearance, where she just crushed Jake Sullivan's wife in the head to head to head debate, which I know it's not on our list for today, remso, but I might need to go ahead and show that video. It's amazing. You want to go ahead and see Jake Sullivan, who is the head of our entire bullshit foreign policy right now. His wife get lectured to in broken English what it means to be an American by a Chinese immigrant.
Remso Martinez 19:19
I love it. It was like watching my Korean grandmother go off like it was just, it's beautiful. And I've, you know, I've known of Lily Tang Williams Since 2015
Brian Nichols 19:32
she's amazing.
Remso Martinez 19:34
She is a freedom works activist. When she was just fighting against common core, that's how it started and the upward trajectory. You know, the Johnny rocket launch pad used to be a big podcast among libertarian Johnny rocket what are we doing? That was, don't ask. That was a lot of that was a lot of, you know, what I'm trying to say is, like, this is literally Tang William. Has been in the fight for so freaking long, and she has gone super viral today with just this clip where she is just demolishing this woman down to the core. And for all of you know, my, you know, all of our Asian listeners, or all of our, you know, mixed race you know, listeners out there like myself, who have a, you know, a Korean grandmother, a Korean aunt, or something, you know, it hits you down to your soul like a cold, sharp steel knife when you are getting lectured at in broken English. And I have only been yelled at really, like a couple times in my life by my Korean grandmother, who is voting for Trump, by the way, and it just hits you in a different way. And watching this woman, you can just see her body language. She just gets broken down. And the moderator, I'm surprised, the moderator, didn't call 911, because what we just witnessed was the murder.
Brian Nichols 21:00
Here we go, just for folks playing along the home game. Here, I'm actually going to stop sharing my screen so I can re share it. So here, hold tight. Let me do that. And I want to make sure this live folks be with us in the moment. Yeah, we are live, yeah. And by the way, thanks for the folks.

Lily is an all star. I I'm and by the way, I showed a quick clip beforehand when, just for some B roll, Lily's been on the show. Lily is a good friend. She is an all star. And the fact that you just said that there are libertarians Big L, emphasis on the big L loser, Libertarians in New Hampshire who are fighting against her like it is.
Remso Martinez 23:11

Social media star peanut the squirrel has been euthanized after being seized from New York home. Some context, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Chemung County Department of Health announced through a statement on Friday afternoon that both a squirrel and a raccoon were confiscated from a residence on Wednesday and had been euthanized to test for rabies. Peanut, the squirrel who boasted 534,000 followers on Instagram, was taken from his home in Pine City, New York by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation the Dec. He was also known as P, nut, P, letter, P, N, U, T, and it was a beloved pet by content creator Mark long Longo, in more than 1400 posts shared on Instagram, peanut can be seen munching on waffles, jumping through hula hoops and greeting long go home from work and apparently remzo getting killed, assassinated by government agents. What is going on? Why is so many folks in the political world suddenly making this a big like carrying the banner forward in a battlefield. Also, where'd you get the drink? I didn't even see that happen. Well,
Remso Martinez 27:07

Dance statement by Donald J Trump, 45th president the United States of America, issued this morning, November 2 in the year of our Lord 2024, there have been horrible reports out of New York, my former home state, where state environmental agents raided the home of Mark Longo and his wife. Mark was taken into custody for hours while officials searched his home and eventually took their two pets, Fred, the raccoon and peanut, the squirrel. These animals were later executed by the state of New York. New York authorities, under their terrible governor, put more effort into finding and eliminating a squirrel who was innocent by all accounts than they do to control the unchecked illegal immigration immigrants who have flooded their state. If peanut could have told them he was from Mexico, they would have set him on his way and given him a hotel room and a $500 gift card to buddy squirrel. Instead, he was taken from his family, very sad and a complete waste of resources. When we win, we will get our priorities in order and make America great again.
Brian Nichols 29:32
So when you said, Fred the rack early, this was posted, I love it. Well, you made me think of Super Troopers, one of my all time favorite movies. Johnny Chimpo is the mascot on the weed that they find, and the two police chiefs who hate each other are sitting down, and the guy goes, Yeah, I really think that there's something here to this Johnny Chimpo story. Johnny Chimpo and he, like, puts the button on the pager, hey, LANSON. The lady at the front desk do me a favor. Round up Bobby baboon, Jeffrey the giraffe and ally the alligator, and bring them in for a lineup. Thanks, sweetie. That is exactly what I thought of with peanut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon. Jesus Christ. This is where we are, by the way, 2024 we are having government agents literally show up to a guy's home as though he this is the most fucked up part, by the way. Pardon my language. But when you look at what this
Remso Martinez 30:28
like led to, we have dropped more F bombs collectively on this single episode than you have on any year. Year's worth of episodes
Brian Nichols 30:37
I got this this first part because the whole, the whole Ron Paul. Like the whole Ron Paul thing with the Libertarians refusing to acknowledge a win has been my my like, just biggest thorn in my side for the past five years of trying to teach how to sell liberty. But anyways, regardless, when we look at this whole conversation the way that that was his name, mark the the owner of the
Unknown Speaker 31:00
mark, mark Longo, great guy. Mark
Brian Nichols 31:03
Longo, um, they treated him like he was a a criminal like that. He, he was a threat. They, they took him out of his home. They, they took five hours to to scope his house. Wouldn't let him feed his other animals like remzo. This is, this is more
Speaker 1 31:21
people after Mark long and Fred the raccoon and peanut the squirrel than they sent. Forget Osama bin Laden.
Brian Nichols 31:29
I mean, you're I know that was said in jest, but without knowing the numbers, I'm almost going to guarantee
Speaker 1 31:35
your people to take out the squirrel than they sent to raid. Osama bin Laden,
Brian Nichols 31:42
why this has turned into such a calling card, calling card, an anthem, a banner that the Republicans and libertarians and conservatives are carrying forward right now is because this is the most like perfect example of unchecked government bureaucrats run wild, and we see that the pain, the suffering being caused to a family who has a pet squirrel and a pet raccoon. Now imagine the family who is being targeted because they showed up to Washington, DC on January six. They weren't at the event, but all sudden, a year later, their home gets ransacked by federal agents because they were in the area. Their cell phone showed that they were in the area. Did they go into the building? Doesn't matter. We're going to treat them like they're a criminal, and that right there. REM so I think that is kind of why this has taken such such a stronghold in more I'm just gonna use the right the right side of the aisles view right now, because when you look at how how dangerous this can go, and how badly this can go with unchecked power, what else do you I mean, who else can relate to this better right now than the Republicans and conservatives and libertarians who have been targeted by these federal agencies and these government agencies across the board for well over what five, eight years at this point, you kind of want to count back when Trump was in office and all the bullshit started,
Remso Martinez 33:18
the NSA provided paperwork to the LNC and Angela McArdle that the NSA had been spying on the libertarian national convention this year. That's fun, our own government. And this was, I think it was Dinesh D'Souza that said this years ago, the Obama foreign policy is not really a foreign policy. It's weaken our allies and strengthen our enemies. It's stop dealing with the outside threats and instead treat every American like a threat. It's no longer trying to develop ourselves as a nation that stands for liberty, and instead, it's turning us into our own prison. People in our government hate us. Hate regular people more than they hate the ayatollahs in Iran, who they gave our tax money to. Then the then, I think it's almost a third of the population of Ukraine that has died because of a war which us and the British and the French could have ended two years ago when Zelensky wanted to meet with Putin and we said, No, there's too much involved. They they hate they hate foreign adversaries who are actually a direct threat to our, to our to our basic freedom. They hate them less than they hate parents that show up to a PTA meeting, then girls who don't want to change in a locker room with boys, then people that want to sell raw milk, then people that just want to live quiet lives where they could be left alone. They won't leave you alone. Okay? They killed the fucking squirrel. It's not they were. Do way worse to you, they will do way worse to you. And they have and they have squirrel.
Brian Nichols 35:07
Sorry, comes down to but this okay, I'm not laughing at the squirrel itself. It's just, what timeline are we in, where you got fucking Harambe and the peanut, the squirrel, sitting arm in arm, looking down from above and being like this all could have been avoided.
Remso Martinez 35:26
Like, like, shits just been weird since Prince died.
Brian Nichols 35:32
Yeah, Purple Rain Man. Well, it wasn't he. He wasn't he one of those guys, like, who was reportedly, allegedly gonna, like, whistle blow some stuffs.
Remso Martinez 35:41
That's a, that's a whole other episode, Brian. But, like, you know, if you want to see where the timeline starts to branch and stuff, but yeah, like, this is,
Unknown Speaker 35:51
I don't know what else to say
Brian Nichols 35:52
it well, and I'll put a book end on this. This peanut, the squirrel conversation with this. It, it is a little No, let me rephrase that. It's a lot, disappointing, frustrating, whatever your favorite word is that it takes a squirrel being euthanized by federal or by state agents, in this case, to get
Remso Martinez 36:17
he was murdered. Peanut was murdered, Fred was murdered. They were murdered by the state. And
Brian Nichols 36:23
it goes back to the like you could have the most horrific story of a person being put on death row. They were not, you know, they were found not guilty or not me not not guilty, but maybe the evidence wasn't brought forward, whatever the bullshit thing you want to make for a worst case, like scenario, of a human being hurt by the state, right? That would get this much attention relative to peanut the squirrel.
Remso Martinez 36:50
Or we have been talking, although Danny like we have been talking about this longer than anyone talked about all the grandmas in New York that Andrew Cuomo killed.
Brian Nichols 37:00
Fuck yes, that right there, right? That is, and that is exactly why I was a massacre. It was. And by the way, you know what? Here, this is a transition. Again. We are transitioning today because it is my show. Look at this, right? This is from our good friend Jamie Pope, dear other white women. And Jamie goes through and she articulates how there has been such a What's the word remso? Like, there has been such a flood of this, like patronizing political perspective from, and I'm just going to generalize, for the sake of the conversation today, more liberal white women, right where? If you aren't a liberal white woman, you're not white woman properly. And I'm not gonna pick on anybody in particular, but I'll just use a real life example of someone who's very uncomfortable this election. My wife. Like looking at what she in her heart. She's like, I can't vote for Kamala. She's crazy, but I want to vote for Trump. She's like she and by the way, she's very politically agnostic, but when she would go on social media and she would see the the just the fervent push by her friends that if you don't vote for Kamala, you don't you hate us, you hate women, right? And that mentality remzo has been very much embraced by the, again, generalizing here, white women of the liberal left. So tell us more about Jamie's article here, and just the patronizing that's coming across from these, these white liberal ladies.
Remso Martinez 38:35
I mean, I think it goes farther than that. I mean, she even touches on it there. It's like the monolith voting, you know, like the black vote or the Arab vote. What we've seen is that that can't be restrained anymore. Trump will win a historic margin of Latino voters, men and women. He will go ahead and, you know, take a large chunk of the black male population in this country. I just went ahead and I was in a group chat with some buddies of mine. And, you know, several state representatives, Somali state representatives, Somali Muslim state representatives in Minnesota are all backing Trump, and they're going as far as to say, and these were former Democrats, and they've been like the left left us, like our lives are worse off because of the Democrats. And they're telling people, vote down ticket, Republican. Vote Trump and vote down ticket, Republican, Republican, all the way down. You know, Trump was just in Dearborn, Michigan, the largest Muslim population in the country, a Muslim majority government, and they have all largely endorsed Trump as the peace candidate. This is not Wow, Mitt Romney's GOP, this is not George Bush's GOP, this isn't even Reagan's GOP. This is a this is a collect. This is a collective of the same this is a Team of Rivals. I say that very, very lovingly. This is a Team of Rivals because we love our.
Brian Nichols 39:59
He was running against Trump literally months ago. Like
Remso Martinez 40:03
Tulsi Gabbard said that Trump was like the father of ISIS when she ran in 2020 and now she might be up for like SEC death in three months if he wins. So it's like, this is a Team of Rivals. This is people that are starting to understand that, and with white women. I mean, just the gas lighting, my my wife, is in several, you know, large Facebook groups for a lot of celebrities that she likes, and the number of women who are just bullying each other is despicable. And
Speaker 3 40:36
God bless you. I don't know what's going on, but you know, Jamie Boyd at the Monolith is ending well,
Brian Nichols 40:42
and I'll let you take a drink there, buddy. The one thing this all kind of came from, right? There was an ad that was done by Julia Roberts, and it shows two couples walking into the voting booth. And you see, with the two couples, there are two ladies, and the couples are obviously made to look like they are like, just tried and true, red, white and blue, conservative folk. And the husbands are like, all right, honey, don't forget who you gotta vote for. And the chicks go up to the voting booth, and they, they're standing there getting ready to vote, and they look up at each other, Rem so they lock eyes, and they have a moment. They had a moment, and they just, they had a moment of understanding, and they just nod to each other, and they check Kamala Harris, and then they put the vote into the ballot box, and then they walk away and their husbands say, Yeah, you do the right thing, you'll vote for the right person. And they just turn they go, I think so the idea right being, and this is where the perception of relationships from the single white women on the left versus what a relationship actually looks like. Traditionally, when you are in a relationship, the person you're with you share some values with. There's a reason they are together. It's not a matter of like the husband saying you're gonna go vote for this person. It's stuff you guys talk about, like, when you're looking at your familial situation, you wanna maybe go buy a house, right? Or maybe you wanna start saving and you wanna start growing for your retirement, right? These are all things that are impacted by public policy. And believe it or not, ladies who are more again, on the liberal left, abortion is not the singular issue that goes into a family's conversations. As a matter of fact, it's almost never a conversation unless the worst case scenarios are upon you, in which case I pray for that family. That's a horrible situation to be in. But the mentality that women are being like they're being guided and forced by their husbands to vote one way or the other. No, this is a team dynamic of husband and wife working together and acknowledging where they are as a family and as a couple and understanding what policy will yield the most positive actions. And I'll finish with this REM so the the argument for this was, dear white women, no one will know who you voted for. Pass it on. Hashtag vote blue. I say this to you, white women, other white women won't know who you voted for. Pass it on. So if you want to go ahead and vote for Donald Trump, go for it. Go for it. Don't feel that you have to be peer pressured by these left wing banshees who make abortion the number one thing they they care about, and they demand that you as a woman, carry that forward as your number one issue. You don't have to do that. You can think logically. You can think rationally. And when you go to the voting booth, you can vote, vote your conscience. And I know for a fact that there is a lot of ladies out there who are listening to this show, and they're finding themselves nodding in agreement, Yeah, feels like me, because I feel, I feel the pressure. I go on to social media. I see my lady friends all going out saying, vote blue, no matter who you know. Oh, you're voting for Trump, you're voting for Hitler, you're voting for a fascist. Oh, you're voting for us to be, you know, handmaid's tales in our red wardrobes and our little white bonnets, right? That's the narrative. And what I see is the narrative versus the the very real data that we see, not just when you look at the data, but also anecdotally, right? I I know quite a few guys and girls who are in relationships and talk about this stuff. And guess what? It's not the narrative that you see on social media. It's not that women are being forced to become baby factories like this is all scare tactic nonsense that has been brought out by predominantly the left, and they use it to keep people in line. It's the old Grand Moff Tarkin line in Star Wars. Right fear will keep them in line. That is the mental. Here, and I actually heard this remzo. There was someone who was getting ready to vote, and they were an independent voter, and they as a whole text they had sent to their friend, they're like, I thought about Kamala, but Kamala leads with fear, and that makes me uneasy, right? Like the fact that she's promoting Trump is Hitler that, you know, the Republicans are all Nazi fascists or that they're going to take away all women's rights and women are going to be second hand citizens, right? This narrative, I think it's starting to fade, fade out a little bit like and hey, maybe it will win this election cycle, right? Maybe, maybe this will work one more time. But REM so I just, I think the writing's on the wall that this like everyone is Hitler, everyone's a fascist. Everyone is, you know, the worst thing ever, right? It's losing its luster, and your average folks are starting to call it out for what it is, and it's just a tactic that's all it ends up being.
Remso Martinez 45:57
I had, I have a good friend of mine. He's a client of mine too, and he runs a small business in Milwaukee. He is the quintessential Wisconsin Obama. Trump voter. Comes from a Christian Union working immigrant family that grew up in the Midwest largely support Democrats. Voted for Obama both times. In 2016 gave Trump a chance in 2020 he voted for Biden, not because he hated Trump, but because he thought if he voted for Biden, then the madness that he was seeing on TV and throughout 2020 would end. Fans will go back to normal. That's four or four years later, his finances aren't any better. His business, it gets by. He employs a bunch of people, and every year it gets harder economically. And he sees what has gone on under Biden and sees what will come under Kamala Harris, and just by having very pleasant, you know, off the cuff conversations about what we see and how we're trying to make our lives better. You know, he went ahead and for the second time after voting for Trump and 16 voting for Biden and 20 for the second time, is voting for Trump now. Now his wife is a Milwaukee public school teacher, part of the part of the teachers union. Anyone that knows about Wisconsin Teachers Union knows how liberal that is. Historically has only, has always voted Democrat. Wanted to vote for Kamala, but she sees how her life is, and she sees that what the Democrats did was they staged a coup, a true insurrection, against a sitting president, against the entire Democratic Party base, and that the things that she was told about Trump don't seem to hang up. They talk about it, but largely he's not going to want to argue with his wife. He just thinks she's always voted this way. It avoids an argument. He's going to vote for Trump, but he's not going to tell her what to do. They both go and vote early. Banked your vote, people hope you banked your vote. But he asked. She's like, Okay, I just voted. And he's like, Haha, who'd you vote for? And she's like, I voted for Trump. Wow, wow. Yeah,

Remzo Elon Musk with the memes for the audio listener. You know that me where the guy's got one foot in the very bottom of the stairs, and then he's got his foot like on the fifth stair, so he's, it's Democrats his shirt, and then he's, he's jumping over, arresting illegals, arresting rapists, arresting murderers, and he's landing his foot right there on killing a squirrel. Um, that feels, remzo, pretty accurate. That's, that's where we're at today. Um, and by the way, this is the last week in review until the election. So, remzo, it is time, it is time to pick your vote, I guess not your vote. Who's gonna win? That's the question everybody's coming here to ask, is, who's gonna win? Who should we be going and putting our bets on in these betting markets? Remzo, you have been a vocal Trump supporter. We've been on the show doing this now for what, like, what, five, six months or so, for a week in week and review, and you have been very, very adamant that trumps, trumps your guy. But tell me, do you feel, do you feel that he's more than just your guy? He's going to be America's
Remso Martinez 51:36
guy? I have to, but I have to say I don't know. And as ultimately, what every listener today has to decide if they have not captured their vote
Brian Nichols 51:46
yet, which, by the way, I have a story to tell when, when you're done? Yeah,
Remso Martinez 51:49
so, I mean, it doesn't matter what I think Brian, what matters is what people do. And I've only ever said why I voted. And, you know, ultimately, I think I said a couple weeks ago, I didn't vote for Donald Trump. I voted for myself. And this is a vote in self defense. This is a vote that hopefully we can turn off the spigot of stupid and we can actually try and make things a little bit better for ourselves. So regardless of whether I want him to win or not, people get out vote if you show up, especially in Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona, If Trump supporting voters show up, we cannot lose, but that's for them to show up, and do gotta show up.
Brian Nichols 52:48
So I voted this morning. I did. I banked my vote. We are recording live here on X right for folks joining along in the home game. Thanks for stopping by. We appreciate it. I have for let's see, since 2015 I have been one of the leading Liberty voices against Donald Trump. I was incredibly concerned back in 2015 I said I believe Donald Trump is going to change what it means to be a conservative, and I was right, but I didn't realize how wrong I was in the outcome that that would come from, because all the neocons that used to be conservative, they showed their true colors. Bill crystal, John Bolton, Nikki Haley, Liz Cheney, they all jumped ship, right? They all, except for Nikki Haley, she's still pretending, but everybody else, they jumped either to pretending they're independent or they jump to the left. Okay, so Trump, Trump did ultimately change what it meant to be conservative, and my concerns, my fears, were realized, but again, not in the way that I thought in 2019 well, not 2019 2020, COVID happens, right? And I was one of the leading libertarian voices against Trump's administration for enabling Anthony Fauci, Deborah, Birx, the CDC, the EPA, the FDA, for going through and putting in place all of these bullshit recommendations that made half of America immediately suspect for breaking some public health codes and violations like enabling them to put this in place and not standing up fervently to fight back. And I was very, very pissed off with Trump. And as a matter of fact, I looked at what happened there, and I said, you know, how could we have avoided this? Oh, by him putting the right people in place. Well, we fast forward to today, and over the past two, three months, something has been happening with Trump and the Trump campaign that I never thought would happen, and we started the conversation today talking about one of those things, and that is Trump surrounding himself with the right people, with good people. He's not surrounding himself with people like Mike. Hence, he's surrounding himself with people like the vagram of Swami or Elon Musk, RFK Junior, Tulsi Gabbard, Ron Paul. Ron Paul, the guy from 2008 and 2012 who started a revolution, and we've been looking for someone, anyone to carry that banner forward. Now I say all this not to say that Trump is some libertarian icon, not to say that Trump is some conservative icon, but rather Trump is a vessel, just like the GOP, right. I've had this conversation debate many a time on the show political parties are nothing more than vessels. Vessels to get your ideas into action via public policy, but also to reach audiences that would traditionally never hear your message. And I look at what Trump has been doing and bring all of these people who remove the name Trump from the equation, for the most part people in the greater Liberty world, we can look at and say, Yeah, I even if I don't like 100% of this person's values or policies or what have you, their principles, I still could have a conversation with them, because I think they get it. And I've been very vocal here in the show, you know, I am not supporting Chase Oliver. I was very much thinking about voting for RFK, but remember, I went into that voting booth today. You know what I did? I voted for Trump. I did it. I voted for Donald Trump. And it felt weird to vote for Donald Trump because he stands, or at least stood for a lot of things I used to think I hated, until I realized that Donald Trump himself is not the the policy, he is not the the principle he is not the ISM Donald Trump is the the platform by which we can express our ideas to a larger audience, and the most important piece actually get ideas into action policy. And this goes back to what we were talking about. The beginning of the conversation today, Ron Paul and Elon Musk working together as potential cabinet buddies to help rein in government spending and government waste. That's a no brainer. Oh, add Trump to the equation. All sudden. They're evil. They we should never talk about them. No, I'm sorry that that is insanity. That is cult behavior, that is group think. That is echo chamber conversations just echoing back and forth to become gobbledygook noise. If you're in one of those Facebook groups or Facebook chats and you're just screeching from high heavens, how dangerous this is. Keep screeching, and yours could be screeching to the to the little group that you found yourself in. But what I'm excited for remzo is to look at someone like again. I can't believe I'm saying this a Donald Trump who is bringing all of these folks to the table and actually presenting a very pro Liberty vision, very much in contrast to what the other side has. It's a no brainer. So I voted for Trump. It happened. Still can't believe I'm saying it out loud. I know there's gonna be a lot of folks who are gonna be screaming at their their, you know, collective earphones, or YouTube screens, or what have you X screens. But to the folks who hear my my rationale and my context, I hope you get it. And for the folks who I know are more or less listeners of this show, y'all do get it, but to the folks who inevitably will take this clip this and say, See, Brian's just another Republic rat hiding in libertarian circles. Go for it. Go for it. I really don't care. I don't care anymore because I spent too long trying to, like help teach libertarians, excuse me, how to sell liberty, right? And when I saw the just outright rejection of tried and true sales and marketing tactics that you use REM so I use in the real world, right, not just in the world of politics, in business and we know work because they're tried and true tactics. And then when we're trying to teach folks in this movement how to do it themselves, I get, I get feedback of, well, no,
Speaker 2 59:29
this isn't, this isn't true to libertarianism. You're watering down the message. You're not, you're not doing people, shut
Brian Nichols 59:35
Shut up. Fine. Go, go. Be losers. I'm not going to try to convince you to not suck anymore, right? Go, go, go hang out in your little groups. Go hang out in your little, your little you know, county affiliate get togethers fine. That's fine. I'm I'm done. So with that. I think we go into Tuesday REM so I'm gonna, I'm gonna call it right now. I think that there. Is a chance, a very strong chance, to your point, like, I believe it too, that Trump will win. Now, we saw what happened in 2020 I don't want to get my show Nuke, so I'm not gonna say what happened. But something happened, right? And we all can raise some eyebrows to it. You know, the going up and then, yep, that little, that little, right? That's normal. It happens all the time. No, it doesn't. So I say that to say, Never underestimate how far the deep state will go. They are deep, very deep. But if, if things go cleanly again, I'm trying to be very delicate with my phrasing here, if things go cleanly, Trump should be the president as of Wednesday morning. Well, he will be the president come January, but he will be the president elect come Wednesday morning. To your point, it requires us to get out of our our little echo chambers and go vote right? So to everybody listening to today. If you have ever found yourself whether it's the Make America healthy camp, the small l libertarian camp, heck, the big L libertarian camp, if you found yourself as a moderate, as a centrist, as a political independent, and you just don't know where to vote, don't worry, I get it. I've been there. I'm voting for Trump. I voted for Trump, and I do that very proudly and confidently, especially when you compare and contrast that to what the other options are. Not from a I would vote for Harris, but what would happen from an outcomes perspective. And I'll just, I'll say, I'll finish with this. I'll finish with this. Ramzo back in loving everything I know, I'm sorry. I just gotta get going back and when I was in taking in political science, and I used to love this shit, right? It was called strategic voting theory. There's two pieces to strategic voting theory. The the first piece is the feels, right? How do you feel in the the vote that you are casting for a candidate? That's one piece, but the as important and equal other side of the equation is the actual outcomes from the candidate who wins, right? So sure, feel great you're voting for Chase Oliver. What happens when Kamala Harris wins from a net yield of positive outcomes relative to your feeling good for casting Chase. You're probably going to end up at like A plus two, right? But maybe you feel a little icky about voting for Trump. Maybe you thought, you know, the whole January 6 thing was the end of the world. Maybe that really rubbed you the wrong way. Maybe his his bravado, whatever it may be, rubbed you the wrong way. You don't feel good voting for someone like that, that's fine. Maybe that's a three or a four on your feel good scale. But what if the outcomes are like a seven or an eight out of 10, right? Versus a Harris who maybe you feel a little bit better because she's not saying all the terrible things. She's just telling you that she's from a middle class family and she understands the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the American public. American public. Look, I'm Kamala Harris, but maybe you get like a three or four voting for her, but you get like a one in policy, right? The answer is clear. So if you need if you need the math, if you need logic and reason to help rationalize your vote, here you go. Look up strategic voting theory, it will help you make that calculated decision. Heck, maybe you find yourself voting for Kamala. That's okay, if that's where you end up, that's where you end up.
