But we can choose our heart.
00:04:01
Speaker
Pick wisely.
00:04:04
Speaker
Wait, no one here gets offended too easily, do they?
00:04:06
Speaker
No.
00:04:07
Speaker
No one here gets offended too easily.
00:04:10
Speaker
Wow, that's refreshing.
00:04:12
Speaker
Yeah, that's different.
00:04:12
Speaker
Why?
00:04:13
Speaker
Because there are real problems in the world.
00:04:16
Speaker
And thus, this show.
00:04:18
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
Media's Role in Shaping Transgender Narratives
00:04:20
Speaker
As we go a little something like this, hit it!
00:04:23
Speaker
Step one.
00:04:24
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:26
Speaker
Then, going postal.
00:04:29
Speaker
Now, going trans.
00:04:32
Speaker
Remember the phrase, going postal?
00:04:34
Speaker
It alluded to the shootings postal workers would sometimes be driven to due to boring, repetitive, quiet, tedious work.
00:04:41
Speaker
For the longest time, if you met someone who was a postal worker, the reference to them being crazy and going postal was common.
00:04:48
Speaker
While we haven't had a postal worker shooting in quite some time now, the baton has been passed.
00:04:53
Speaker
From now on, when someone comes out as transgender, I'm going to assume they're strapped just to be safe.
00:05:02
Speaker
Looks like we've got another trans shooter ignored by mainstream media.
00:05:06
Speaker
Janice Moreno, born in El Salvador, opened fire in Joel Osteen's Lakewood, Texas, church.
00:05:12
Speaker
He had an AR-15.
00:05:14
Speaker
with a Free Palestine sticker on the side of her gun and brought a five-year-old child.
00:05:22
Speaker
What, no electric car parked at the curb?
00:05:24
Speaker
No Ukraine flag or BLM armband?
00:05:27
Speaker
I mean, if you're gonna do a PSYOP government, go all the way.
00:05:30
Speaker
You already gave your trans shooter an automatic weapon and child as an accessory.
00:05:35
Speaker
If you're gonna make a statement, make it.
00:05:37
Speaker
Here's how I know this shooting was a PSYOP.
00:05:40
Speaker
A. Why would a migrant from El Salvador be a Bernie Sanders supporter?
00:05:45
Speaker
Connection, please.
00:05:46
Speaker
What, because he's a socialist and she comes from El Salvador, which is a socialist country?
00:05:50
Speaker
Yeah, because it's so great in El Salvador, she wants to keep that going.
00:05:54
Speaker
I'm sure she loved her life.
00:05:55
Speaker
She loved socialism so much, she left El Salvador for America.
00:05:59
Speaker
B. Before a crazy mass shooter goes a-shooting, they want to accessorize their weapon with a fun sticker.
00:06:06
Speaker
C, a sticker for a cause that a migrant trans person would have zero at stake in supporting.
Critique of Media and Government Narratives
00:06:15
Speaker
Well, what do you know?
00:06:16
Speaker
A shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade, but not at the actual Super Bowl.
00:06:22
Speaker
Of course not.
00:06:24
Speaker
The New World Order controls that.
00:06:26
Speaker
The parade, well, there's no money to be made from that.
00:06:29
Speaker
Who cares if that's interrupted or disrupted?
00:06:31
Speaker
Can't risk having one of the wealthy Super Bowl attendees getting nicked by a stray bullet if the CIA or FBI FBI fucking bunch of idiots.
00:06:40
Speaker
Hires one of their psy-op shooters to disrupt the Super Bowl.
00:06:43
Speaker
Billions are lost in revenue.
00:06:45
Speaker
Shoot up a parade?
00:06:47
Speaker
Headlines for mainstream media.
00:06:49
Speaker
And now this.
00:06:50
Speaker
And now for step two.
Political Commentary on AOC and Biden
00:06:52
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:06:54
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Your Commie Government.
00:06:58
Speaker
Let's start federally and work our way down.
00:07:01
Speaker
If you ever had a shred of thought that just maybe, maybe AOC was misunderstood and not just incredibly stupid, she recently said she's backing President Coloring Book as, quote, one of the most successful presidents in modern history.
00:07:17
Speaker
Oh, please.
00:07:22
Speaker
Not only is President Coloring Book successful, his unqualified, lying, corrupt, diversity, higher press secretary human toilet brush, Kareem Jean-Pierre, actually said these words.
00:07:33
Speaker
President Biden does more in one hour than most people do in a day.
00:07:36
Speaker
His age with experience and expertise is an incredible asset and he proves it every day.
00:07:41
Speaker
And that's what we believe.
00:07:42
Speaker
We believe that his age and his experience...
00:07:45
Speaker
because he was a senator, because he was obviously a vice president, because he has these long decades of relationships with leaders, obviously across the globe.
00:07:55
Speaker
And what he's been able to do, that's what we're going to lean into.
00:08:00
Speaker
Did you mean for all those words to come out together or did they just fall out randomly?
00:08:04
Speaker
Translation, because Joe Biden is old, stupid and has been compromised for decades as a go to fixture of bribery and embezzlement.
00:08:13
Speaker
That is why Joe is able to ruin more things in America in one hour than anyone else could in a day or year.
00:08:20
Speaker
Joe Biden's free.
00:08:24
Speaker
In other Brandon news, President Coloring Book visited East Palestine, Ohio.
00:08:29
Speaker
I will not call it East Palestine.
00:08:31
Speaker
It's pronounced Palestine.
00:08:32
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:08:33
Speaker
I know with Hamas and Gaza and all that stuff, it's still the same word.
00:08:38
Speaker
Anyway, President Coloring Book visited East Palestine, Ohio over a year after that toxic train derailment where he was met with Let's Go Brandon and two little too late signs held by residents.
00:08:52
Speaker
Give it a couple years and it'll swing by to say hi to the Maui murder survivors.
00:08:56
Speaker
I mean the Hollywood elite who will be building their homes and resorts where the Maui murders took place.
Criticism of Biden's Response to Ohio Crisis
00:09:01
Speaker
And finally, President Coloring Book joined TikTok despite the app being banned on most government-issued devices.
00:09:08
Speaker
You know, for reasons of national security.
00:09:15
Speaker
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio is up only 88% in the last 12 months.
00:09:26
Speaker
She really has a gift for knowing the market.
00:09:29
Speaker
And by gift, I mean insider.
00:09:31
Speaker
You gotta wonder why someone with this much stock market acumen didn't work on Wall Street instead of going into government.
00:09:41
Speaker
Now let's talk crime and the lack of prevention of it nor protection from it in America, especially the illegal aliens who have literally, literally more freedom and privileges than taxpaying Americans.
00:09:53
Speaker
No, hell, it ain't gonna be good.
00:09:55
Speaker
What?
00:09:55
Speaker
Free housing, free food, a stipend to live on for the month and free health care.
00:10:01
Speaker
I know, but they're poor and immigrants, so I have it better than them because I have to pay rent to pay for food.
00:10:07
Speaker
I have to work for money and my health insurance is crap.
Public Safety vs. Surveillance Technologies
00:10:12
Speaker
Here we go.
00:10:13
Speaker
The mayor of the murder capital of America, Chicago, has said they will no longer use the high-tech alert system, ShotSpotter, to alert and direct cops when gunshots are fired because it targets minorities.
00:10:29
Speaker
Would you rather offend criminals or be safe?
00:10:32
Speaker
Priority, Chicagoans.
00:10:34
Speaker
You know, we're living in a society!
00:10:36
Speaker
A riddle.
00:10:37
Speaker
How many illegal immigrants does it take to strangle an American citizen?
00:10:40
Speaker
Answer, apparently four.
00:10:43
Speaker
Chicago's shot spotter wouldn't have worked in this case anyway since no one was shot, however, for illegal, misunderstood, oppressed, hungry for bread,
00:10:52
Speaker
Totally for climate change, immigrants are accused of robbing and strangling a 48-year-old man on a Chicago train.
00:11:00
Speaker
And with the exception of Cleveland, this place has the worst security in the nation.
00:11:10
Speaker
Speaking of Illinois, here is why America is under siege with unparalleled crime.
Financial Mismanagement in Local Government
00:11:18
Speaker
It starts on the local level of corruption.
00:11:24
Speaker
This article for the New York Post, entitled Brazen Mayor Tiffany Henyard, shows why local elections matter.
00:11:32
Speaker
Please listen carefully.
00:11:33
Speaker
This is an infuriating article.
00:11:36
Speaker
Here we go.
00:11:38
Speaker
They say absolute power corrupts absolutely, but power doesn't change someone.
00:11:42
Speaker
It only exaggerates what's already inside the person who wields it.
00:11:47
Speaker
Unfortunately, many elected officials do this by standing on the necks of the people who helped put them into power.
00:11:52
Speaker
In a matter of a few years, Dalton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard's designer shoes have snapped the neck of prosperity of this small village outside Chicago.
00:12:03
Speaker
The 40-year-old self-proclaimed super mayor...
00:12:08
Speaker
is ignoring Freedom of Information Act requests to see the 20,000 resident villages budget, even as she plasters her face on billboards around town.
00:12:18
Speaker
A somewhat ominous Happy Valentine's Day message that read, I love you, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:12:25
Speaker
Meanwhile, she's turned Thornton Township's bank account, she's also the 190,000 resident township supervisor, into her personal piggy bank by taking lavish first-class trips to cities around the country, including New York and Vegas, spending upwards of $67,000 of township funds.
00:12:44
Speaker
One of the city's trustees, Brittany Norwood, said, a few months ago we were $7 million in debt.
00:12:51
Speaker
I hope you understand how much debt that is for a city of 20,000.
00:12:55
Speaker
Yeah, and Donald Trump is on trial.
00:12:58
Speaker
The article says before Hanyard took office in April 2021, Dalton had a budget surplus.
00:13:05
Speaker
So in what, two years?
00:13:07
Speaker
A little over two and a half years?
00:13:09
Speaker
She's taken it from a surplus to $7 million in debt for a town of 20,000 people.
00:13:17
Speaker
The article says in 2022, the Village Board put two questions on the ballot.
00:13:21
Speaker
The first asked voters if Dalton should have a recall mechanism.
00:13:25
Speaker
The second asked if the first succeeded if Henyard should be recalled.
00:13:28
Speaker
56% of voters wanted her removed as mayor.
00:13:32
Speaker
Here's the problem.
00:13:36
Speaker
56?
00:13:36
Speaker
56% only?
00:13:37
Speaker
The article continues, Now Dalton's finances are so out of control, a leasing bank is threatening to repossess village vehicles, including police cars, due to non-payment.
00:13:48
Speaker
She basically bragged about her exorbitant spending and disregard for the rule of law with a costume tribute to Nino Brown, the anti-hero of the 1991 movie New Jack City.
00:14:00
Speaker
She strutted into a village board meeting dressed like the drug lord character and had a DJ play Rihanna's song, Bitch Better Have My Money.
00:14:10
Speaker
Nino Brown is a community terrorist who drugs his people for profit, kills whoever threatens his growing empire and even those within his circle, and laughs in the face of the law because his power elevated him above punishment.
00:14:23
Speaker
This is Hanyard's idol, the article says.
00:14:27
Speaker
Behind every tyrant lies his biggest weakness, his insecurity.
00:14:32
Speaker
Hanyard plasters her face on billboards throughout the village paid for by taxpayers, just like dictators have statues of themselves scattered throughout the country.
00:14:41
Speaker
They all need constant external recognition of their greatness because they cannot generate it from within.
00:14:49
Speaker
The only way for these strongmen to get the people's adoration is through either forced compliance or faux charity.
00:14:57
Speaker
Nino Brown handed out turkeys during Thanksgiving and Tiffany Hanyard gave out free gas for votes during her campaign.
00:15:07
Speaker
The article very expertly says the problem is our news has become so nationalized.
00:15:15
Speaker
The article says we've ignored how many immoral actors in government get a pass because we've obsessively focused on what's happening in D.C.
00:15:22
Speaker
instead of what's happening near me.
00:15:24
Speaker
Very well said.
00:15:26
Speaker
Now, lest you think this is me exaggerating, I'm exaggerating this report from Chicago TV station.
00:15:34
Speaker
Here's a report from WGN.
00:15:39
Speaker
WGN Investigates has an update on dysfunction in Dalton, where local leaders are fighting over transparency, spending, and safety.
00:15:46
Speaker
Now the South Suburbs' controversial mayor is firing back, and it all played out at a public meeting last night.
00:15:54
Speaker
Y'all forget I am the leader.
00:15:55
Speaker
They want to hear from the mayor, if y'all ain't learned that yet.
00:15:58
Speaker
The mayor, not the trustees that don't do nothing, that only run they mouth.
00:16:04
Speaker
Y'all don't do no work, no work.
00:16:06
Speaker
Tiffany Henyard considers herself something of a crusader, but one who's clearly annoyed by questions from a rebellious group of Dalton trustees who are in a standoff with her overspending.
00:16:17
Speaker
At the end of the day, vendors are not being paid.
00:16:20
Speaker
Board approved it.
00:16:21
Speaker
The vendors are not being paid.
00:16:23
Speaker
How about you be a good leader, bring our peace to the forefront?
00:16:26
Speaker
So not just us, but the residents and everybody else in America know how the money is being spent.
00:16:32
Speaker
WGN investigates has catalogued tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars spent on trips, meals, and more by Tiffany Henyard and her allies in Dalton County.
00:16:41
Speaker
and on the Thornton Township Board, where she's the supervisor.
00:16:45
Speaker
Township credit card records show Henyard and other officials spent more than $67,000 on trips to Portland, Austin, Atlanta, and New York City.
00:16:54
Speaker
Many of the flights were first class.
00:16:56
Speaker
So were the accommodations.
00:16:57
Speaker
In Atlanta, Henyard and her team stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel, costing taxpayers more than $9,000.
00:17:02
Speaker
In New York, the bill came to $13,000.
00:17:07
Speaker
Henyard has refused to explain the specific purpose of the trips or why they travel in such style.
00:17:14
Speaker
But she appeared to refer to our reporting at Monday's Dalton meeting.
00:17:18
Speaker
But everything we do, we do for the people.
00:17:21
Speaker
But we under attack.
00:17:22
Speaker
We getting scrutinized in the media.
00:17:24
Speaker
For what?
00:17:25
Speaker
Loving on the people?
00:17:27
Speaker
Showing them that they matter to us?
00:17:29
Speaker
We going through the fires for y'all.
00:17:31
Speaker
Henyard calls her critics grandstanders who should get in line.
00:17:35
Speaker
Y'all should be ashamed of y'all self.
00:17:36
Speaker
Y'all black.
00:17:37
Speaker
Y'all are black.
00:17:38
Speaker
And y'all sitting up here beating and attacking on a black woman that's in power.
00:17:44
Speaker
Y'all should be sharing to y'all selves.
00:17:45
Speaker
Dalton's difficulties got worse in recent weeks with water main breaks.
00:17:49
Speaker
Henyard blames on trustee budget cuts.
00:17:52
Speaker
Then four people were shot and injured last week, leaving nerves frayed.
00:17:56
Speaker
And Henyard's opponents pointing out her sizable security detail.
00:18:01
Speaker
It's unfortunate that politics are being played.
00:18:04
Speaker
But what has happened is a million dollars out of my budget
00:18:08
Speaker
has been cut because of politics.
00:18:10
Speaker
We're not saying the police is not doing a good job.
00:18:13
Speaker
What we're saying is you're assigning all of them to be with you when they should be out here protecting the residents so we can all feel safe.
00:18:20
Speaker
Residents are taking notice.
00:18:22
Speaker
Some spoke for and others against the mayor.
00:18:25
Speaker
Well, you know, we got the mayor here.
00:18:27
Speaker
I mean, meeting with the president of the United States, everyone's seen the picture.
00:18:30
Speaker
I mean, that's a big deal.
00:18:32
Speaker
That is great promotion for this city, for this town.
00:18:35
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen,
00:18:38
Speaker
Be civil.
00:18:40
Speaker
Do things right.
00:18:42
Speaker
Think of the residents.
00:18:43
Speaker
You are here to represent the residents and not yourself.
00:18:50
Speaker
Henyard and her publicity team no longer respond to our emails seeking an explanation of her spending.
00:18:55
Speaker
As we've reported, she is also the face of a cancer charity that bears her name, one that has failed to file required financial disclosures.
00:19:03
Speaker
The Illinois Attorney General has given the foundation until the middle of this month to show how it spends its money or face legal action.
00:19:11
Speaker
She sounds educated and professional, doesn't she?
00:19:15
Speaker
Level-headed, fair-minded,
00:19:20
Speaker
The article in the New York Post closes with this.
00:19:23
Speaker
Local elections matter because if you don't show up, tyrants can make your community hell much faster than the president can.
00:19:37
Speaker
In New Mexico, a cop by the name of Jonah Hernandez was responding to a trespassing call on a property and was murdered by a trespassing suspect who was shot dead by a witness.
00:19:52
Speaker
In other America last news, two cops and a fireman were shot and killed in Burnsville, Minnesota.
00:19:57
Speaker
While responding to a call, the alleged dead killer is 38-year-old Shannon Gooden.
00:20:03
Speaker
Mainstream media won't tell you this information because he's black.
Non-citizen Appointment Raises Voting Rights Questions
00:20:07
Speaker
Who in the media tricked you?
00:20:13
Speaker
And in San Francisco, California, their motto, that smell you smell and that pile you stepped in is your communist vote.
00:20:20
Speaker
They recently appointed Kelly Wong, an immigrant woman from Hong Kong without U.S. citizenship, to the San Francisco Elections Commission, where she will oversee and create policies for the city's Department of Elections.
00:20:37
Speaker
But she herself cannot vote.
00:20:40
Speaker
You know, like when you booked that trip to China and had a say in how their country is run.
00:20:44
Speaker
California is asshole.
00:20:46
Speaker
What have I been saying?
00:20:47
Speaker
Alert pro Kimberly Klasic on Instagram posted this meme that's food for thought.
00:20:51
Speaker
The people who forced you to get vaxxed to keep your job let in 17 million unvaxxed and unemployed.
00:21:01
Speaker
Sidebar.
00:21:02
Speaker
Crime in Portland, Oregon is down after police budget cuts were reversed.
00:21:09
Speaker
That can't be right.
00:21:10
Speaker
In Amateur Nation, less police means less crime and utopia.
00:21:14
Speaker
When you have more cops, oh, the oppression.
00:21:18
Speaker
I mean, law-abiding citizens are just getting beaten up and shot by cops who are bored and want to attack and kill peaceful people.
00:21:24
Speaker
That's COP 101, right?
00:21:25
Speaker
That was obviously sarcasm.

One love, one empty virtue signaling cliche on topic number three next.

00:22:44
Speaker
My Dry Bar Comedy Special, Amateur Nation, is now available.
00:22:49
Speaker
And just like this show, if you're allergic to a lack of common sense in today's world, and you like your comedy delivered with uncompromising talent like it is bite, then check out my half hour comedy special, Amateur Nation.
00:23:01
Speaker
Go to drybarcomedy.com slash Lou S. This is my way of saying thank you to the pros who listen to this show every week.
00:23:08
Speaker
driveourcomedy.com slash Lou S. Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:23:18
Speaker
All right, listen up you stiffs.
00:23:20
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:23:22
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:23:23
Speaker
Hit me!
Debating the 'One Love' Ideal
00:23:27
Speaker
Love.
00:23:29
Speaker
A simple topic that is rarely covered in song, literature, movies, and TV.
00:23:35
Speaker
Love is so simple to describe, isn't it?
00:23:37
Speaker
Tangible, concrete, easily found, easily given and received.
00:23:41
Speaker
The downside is there are just so many kinds of love.
00:23:43
Speaker
I mean, I love chocolate chip cookies, drag racing, Formula One.
00:23:47
Speaker
I love dogs and cats.
00:23:49
Speaker
I love my mom, my girlfriend, in different ways.
00:23:51
Speaker
And see, that's the problem.
00:23:53
Speaker
If there was only one love for all people that I could yak about whenever I wanted to appear so full,
00:23:59
Speaker
tolerant and deep.
00:24:01
Speaker
Well, you're in luck, amateur nation, because the new movie about Bob Marley is out just in time during Black History Month to fuel those fans of hatred against us crackers.
00:24:10
Speaker
Don't let all the bad reviews keep you from the pandering.
00:24:13
Speaker
The biopic in theaters is based on the life of reggae singer and songwriter Bob Marley from his rise to fame in the mid-70s up until his death in 1981.
00:24:20
Speaker
He released 13 studio albums, 6 live albums, and 38 compilation albums, resulting in 57 albums of songs that all sound alike.
00:24:30
Speaker
Okay, one love.
00:24:33
Speaker
What is that?
00:24:35
Speaker
Sounds important somehow.
00:24:37
Speaker
Or good, maybe.
00:24:39
Speaker
Instead of a lot of different loves and types of love.
00:24:42
Speaker
And, you know, why would you want to have that?
00:24:45
Speaker
I mean, when you have so many different types of love, well, that's just bad.
00:24:49
Speaker
I mean, because, you know, the only kind of love that really matters is the one love.
00:24:55
Speaker
You don't want to have a bunch of different diverse types of loves lying around.
00:25:00
Speaker
I mean, some of those loves might be wrong or incorrect.
00:25:04
Speaker
Right?
00:25:05
Speaker
You want just the one.
00:25:06
Speaker
And of all the emotions to have one of, you want it to be love.
00:25:11
Speaker
I mean, it's the ultimate cliche, douchey thing to say.
00:25:14
Speaker
One love.
00:25:16
Speaker
As someone who hates lazy cliches and catchphrases, I've heard comedians throw that in as they leave the stage.
00:25:23
Speaker
And musical artists tossing it around on stage.
00:25:25
Speaker
Same with professional athletes.
00:25:28
Speaker
It's also often used as a disclaimer, so to speak.
00:25:33
Speaker
You see a professional athlete get busted for beating his wife again or hitting up a prostitute for the 43rd time.
00:25:39
Speaker
Then comes the press conference.
00:25:40
Speaker
I got nothing but love, one love for all.
00:25:44
Speaker
Oh, wow, he can't go to jail or lose his job.
00:25:46
Speaker
He has one love.
00:25:48
Speaker
One love.
00:25:49
Speaker
Say it to cover your ass when you have nothing concrete to say.
00:25:52
Speaker
Revel in your bumper sticker spirituality and be ready to have it used against you if you, say, like in my case, take time to make fun of it.
00:26:00
Speaker
This way, amateur nation can scream, they always scream, they never talk normally, how I don't like love and because I'm calling out the BS with this nothing phrase that means I'm all about hate.
00:26:13
Speaker
The Urban Dictionary defines one love as the universal love and respect expressed by all people for all people, regardless of race, creed, or color.
00:26:22
Speaker
It's so dumb.
00:26:24
Speaker
It's so dumb, it's brilliant.
00:26:26
Speaker
No!
00:26:28
Speaker
It's just dumb!
00:26:29
Speaker
What about height?
00:26:30
Speaker
Weight?
00:26:31
Speaker
Political beliefs?
00:26:32
Speaker
Religion?
00:26:33
Speaker
Their sports loyalties?
00:26:34
Speaker
Favorite beer brand?
00:26:36
Speaker
Hey, wait a minute, there's nothing there about gender and sexuality.
00:26:39
Speaker
How can we have one love when there are hundreds of genders?
00:26:42
Speaker
One love will cover all that?
00:26:45
Speaker
A website by the name of JamaicanPatway.com says, One Love is a message of unity and inclusion.
00:26:53
Speaker
Not like those other cruddy types of love that's all about separation and exclusion.
00:26:58
Speaker
Lest you think I'm crazy for calling out a generic cliche that has literally no end game and finish line as amateur.
00:27:04
Speaker
If you look at the cover for this episode, you'll see I pulled a photo from the web that has the One Love logo and peace symbols on it and...
00:27:13
Speaker
The BLM slash communist fist in the logo.
00:27:17
Speaker
A fist.
00:27:18
Speaker
That says love, right?
00:27:21
Speaker
I quickly counted seven companies that had one love in their organizations, foundations, and charity names.
00:27:29
Speaker
And as of 2020,
00:27:31
Speaker
There's also a One Love campaign, which is an anti-discrimination, anti-racism, LGT rights and human rights campaign.
00:27:39
Speaker
It was started by the Dutch Football Association.
00:27:42
Speaker
Remember that success?
00:27:44
Speaker
You show your one love by wearing a rainbow-colored armband.
00:27:48
Speaker
What's the point of having universal love for all people if you can't show it off with a rainbow armband?
00:27:56
Speaker
Now, I'm no theologian, but 1 Corinthians 13, verses 4-8, Paul said, Isn't wearing a rainbow armband to show that you're all about one love boastful?
00:28:26
Speaker
Aren't all amateurs in Amateur Nation easily angered?
00:28:29
Speaker
Shut the fuck up!
00:28:31
Speaker
See?
00:28:33
Speaker
Amateur Nation hates truth.
00:28:35
Speaker
There's no feelings to cry about.
00:28:37
Speaker
Amateurs are the most tiresome people to be around on Earth.
00:28:41
Speaker
Marley's idea was that everyone in the world should stop fighting and become one.
00:28:46
Speaker
Imagine, one love by all people, even the pedophiles, even the unelected officials in the New World Order.
00:28:53
Speaker
Gotta love them.
00:28:54
Speaker
Whoopi Goldberg wants one love, I'm sure.
00:28:56
Speaker
Jeffrey Epstein, too.
00:28:58
Speaker
And all those trans shooters, all about one love.
00:29:01
Speaker
If only we idiots in the rest of the world would get on board, think of the lives saved.
00:29:06
Speaker
What a utopia we can all shoot for.
00:29:08
Speaker
And yes, achieve.
00:29:09
Speaker
Should it be that hard at all?
00:29:11
Speaker
If we could just get 8 billion people to love each other simultaneously towards the same thing with the same kind of degree and intensity of the love, we got it dialed in.
00:29:20
Speaker
Ever try to get two people who are fighting to have one love?
00:29:23
Speaker
Not so easy, is it?
00:29:25
Speaker
Oh, you did get them to love each other.
00:29:26
Speaker
Great!
00:29:27
Speaker
Just 7,999,999,998 to go.
00:29:34
Speaker
Lest you think I'm anti-love, I'm not.
00:29:37
Speaker
I am anti-stupid, anti-cliché, anti-virtue signaling, anti-impossible, and anti-DEI and anti-communism.
00:29:45
Speaker
The laziness of the one-love sentiment is what bothers me most, not to mention the assumption of always stoners thinking they have the keys to solving world issues.
00:29:57
Speaker
Dude, if we just like all love one another...
00:30:00
Speaker
Okay, if we all just is one of the most dangerous, ignorant, and delusional ways to start a sentence.
00:30:08
Speaker
Let's get this straight.
00:30:09
Speaker
There is no thing, system, government, religion, job, way of life, philosophy for living that works for all people on earth.
00:30:24
Speaker
Frankly, my message in my book, Amateur Nation, The Decline of Common Sense Manners and Social Skills, you can download it on Amazon, and this podcast is much more attainable and accessible than this one love crap.
00:30:37
Speaker
Treat everyone you meet with common sense, good manners, and social skills, and then move on.
00:30:43
Speaker
Unless they act like an amateur, then call them out.
00:30:46
Speaker
But other than that...
00:30:47
Speaker
Mind your own business, there's your peace on earth.
00:30:50
Speaker
You're welcome.
00:30:51
Speaker
I mean, come on, whether or not you believe in the Bible or have any religious beliefs, the basic life principle is do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
00:31:01
Speaker
You know, the golden rule.
00:31:03
Speaker
Treat other people with the concern and kindness you would like them to show towards you.
00:31:08
Speaker
It ain't complicated.
00:31:09
Speaker
In other words, be nice.
00:31:12
Speaker
Don't be an amateur.
00:31:14
Speaker
But the problem is amateurs hear the golden rule and what their single molecule brain hears is I deserve special treatment and to be celebrated by all, always, everything I do, say, and am, is right and special because I said it and did it.
00:31:28
Speaker
I want somebody to pay a little attention to me.
00:31:30
Speaker
The concept of one love is amateur.
00:31:32
Speaker
I've been thinking about what she said.
00:31:35
Speaker
I want to thank you.
00:31:44
Speaker
Time for a la carte.
Concerns Over Media Influence and Censorship
00:31:47
Speaker
In case you're not quite tired of hearing Taylor Swift, one of the Mount Rushmore of Evil, George Soros, not only owns Taylor Swift's music catalog, he just bought the second biggest radio broadcasting network in the country, Odyssey.
00:32:02
Speaker
I'm sure this will mean a wider variety of music and way less news control and censorship.
00:32:08
Speaker
WSOR Radio.
00:32:09
Speaker
All Taylor Soros.
00:32:10
Speaker
All day.
00:32:13
Speaker
By the way, you do know that Taylor Soros and Travis Kelsey will be together forever, right?
00:32:17
Speaker
True love forever called it.
00:32:20
Speaker
Why are you telling me this?
00:32:22
Speaker
What makes you think I have any interest in that at all?
00:32:25
Speaker
Remember when you took out a car loan and paid it back?
00:32:27
Speaker
Remember when you took out your home loan and paid it back?
00:32:30
Speaker
Early?
00:32:31
Speaker
And then you paid $364 million for the victims of the on-time paid-in-full loan?
00:32:39
Speaker
Wait.
00:32:39
Speaker
Was that sarcasm?
00:32:40
Speaker
Donald Trump Jr. had this to say about that.
00:32:43
Speaker
They arrested Donald Trump four times, gave him 91 charges and fined more than $350 million before a single Jeffrey Epstein client was arrested.
Political Protests and Their Impact
00:32:52
Speaker
Let that sink in.
00:32:53
Speaker
It's almost as if the people going after my father are the people on the Epstein client list.
00:32:59
Speaker
Meanwhile, America's MAGA truckers are refusing to pick up or drop off New York City loads after that ludicrous Trump verdict.
00:33:06
Speaker
I don't know what New York City businesses are getting so worked up about.
00:33:09
Speaker
I mean, commie New York Governor Kathy, my last name sounds like Hawking Up a Louie Huckle, assured real estate developers that they won't be targeted like Trump.
00:33:19
Speaker
Whoops!
00:33:20
Speaker
You just admitted Trump's case was politically motivated and ultimately illegal.
00:33:24
Speaker
I'm sure you didn't mean to.
00:33:27
Speaker
Three things that are done right.
00:33:29
Speaker
Things that are done right are considered pro.
00:33:32
Speaker
And these are three pro things.
00:33:34
Speaker
Number one.
Comparisons of Indoctrination Tactics
00:33:43
Speaker
Still don't see the connection between the indoctrination programming and propaganda tactics on America's children in public schools to Marxism and communism?
00:33:50
Speaker
Well, if anyone would know, it would be North Korean defector Yeonmi Park.
00:33:56
Speaker
Here she is describing how the indoctrination and family decimation in America works.
00:34:02
Speaker
North Korea, every room that we have the portraits of Kim dictators.
00:34:06
Speaker
And the first thing that my teacher taught me was, look at your leader.
00:34:12
Speaker
That's your real father, not your biological father.
00:34:16
Speaker
If he says something unroyal to the government, you need to come tell me.
00:34:21
Speaker
So governments would punish the parents.
00:34:24
Speaker
And now in America, I hear these things like teachers literally teaching the kids saying, your parents are not safe.
00:34:32
Speaker
if they don't validate your feelings and trying to separate the children from the family.
00:34:37
Speaker
It is the same exact tactic that North Korea uses to separate people.
00:34:42
Speaker
Number two.
00:34:46
Speaker
In honor of Black History Month.
00:34:47
Speaker
I don't want a Black History Month.
00:34:49
Speaker
No one does.
00:34:50
Speaker
Here's author and investigative journalist Jerome Hudson speaking on the hypocrisy of BLM on gun violence in major cities.
00:34:59
Speaker
Our parents who live in Chicago, one woman in particular, I won't say her name, but she has buried all five of her children because of gun violence in that city.
00:35:08
Speaker
I have yet to see a Black Lives Matter rally on some of the most dangerous blocks in that city or in Baltimore or in Philadelphia.
00:35:21
Speaker
If Black Lives Matter, they would have mattered time and time again.
00:35:26
Speaker
Where Black Lives Matter was trying to kick police out of communities.
00:35:30
Speaker
If you went to their website and you read their words, they were an anti-family organization.
00:35:38
Speaker
They were a pro-Marxist organization.
00:35:42
Speaker
And the reason that some politicians in this country...
00:35:47
Speaker
I despise them so much is that they were willing to tie themselves to that evil institution, which, by the way, laundered millions of dollars, and I'm sure no one will ever go to jail for it.
00:35:58
Speaker
And number three.
00:36:01
Speaker
I love me some good
Lighthearted Media Mishaps
00:36:02
Speaker
bloopers.
00:36:02
Speaker
Here's one from an NBC Wichita, Kansas news affiliate with a story that this poor female anchor just didn't quite get until she was about three quarters of the way through it.
00:36:12
Speaker
As she was set up by her male co-anchor to throw her under the bus and he cannot keep from laughing.
00:36:17
Speaker
Here we go.
00:36:18
Speaker
scary moments for customers at a Kansas Home Depot.
00:36:21
Speaker
Police responded to reports of a bomb threat at the store in Wichita.
00:36:25
Speaker
A customer alerted employees.
00:36:27
Speaker
A man inside the bathroom said there was a bomb in the building.
00:36:30
Speaker
Police were able to locate the man responsible for those comments and that man told police he warned other guests to leave the restroom because he was quote fixing to blow it up but had no intention of causing a panic.
00:36:42
Speaker
The man also told police others in the room laughed.
00:36:46
Speaker
understanding his joke, which I'm just not getting.
00:36:50
Speaker
Home Depot says they will not be pressing charges.
00:36:54
Speaker
But I can tell you right now, you asked the producer for me to read that, didn't you?
00:37:01
Speaker
To Ethan now, please.
00:37:02
Speaker
Are we going to have to go to a commercial?
00:37:10
Speaker
No, we're going to get it.
00:37:11
Speaker
We're going to get it.
00:37:12
Speaker
Why do I feel like I'm going to have to explain that joke to my mother?

Outro: Moving Beyond Amateurism
00:37:42
Speaker
Amateur Nation is not just a podcast.
00:37:44
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:37:46
Speaker
Remember, amateurs, we see you.
00:37:48
Speaker
You're not at home.
00:37:49
Speaker
Don't do life wrong.
00:37:50
Speaker
Go pro.
00:37:52
Speaker
Don't be an amateur.
00:37:53
Speaker
For Amateur Nation, I'm Lou Santini, and this has been a big, major production.
00:38:07
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:38:11
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:38:13
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:38:14
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:38:17
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
00:38:20
Speaker
Stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.
00:38:24
