The Shift in Human Behavior
00:00:00
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:00:04
Speaker
A sense of entitlement, a constant need for attention, ironically coupled with the need to be left alone, a desire to be treated the same as everyone else, stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

Calling Out 'Amateurs' in Society
00:01:09
Speaker
Warning, the podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:15
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots, attention whores, ignoramuses, dolts, clods, nimrods, douches, weirdos, drama queens, overly sensitive crybabies, and people who think they are better, more important, and special than the rest of us.
00:01:32
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:34
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:36
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with somebody called Santini.
00:01:40
Speaker
Yep, that's me, Lou Santini.
00:01:42
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:45
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:48
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:50
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:01:52
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention whoring, self-entitled drama queen victim types.
00:01:57
Speaker
who chip away at the moments of your life due to no self-awareness, common sense, manners, or social skills, and are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:02:07
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
Nicolas Cage and the Bug-Eating Debate
00:02:08
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:08
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:02:12
Speaker
You keep doing your little comedy show.
00:02:14
Speaker
You just have a good time with it.
00:02:15
Speaker
Well, thank you.
00:02:16
Speaker
I believe I will.
00:02:17
Speaker
This is episode 224.
00:02:18
Speaker
Wah!
00:02:18
Speaker
I want my blue checkmark.
00:02:23
Speaker
Fans first, shouts out to Oliver Miles Homeward and the Dan Andrews Experience, listening and commenting to and on the show on SoundCloud.
00:02:33
Speaker
Here is your post of the week.
00:02:34
Speaker
This one comes from Larry Schulk.
00:02:37
Speaker
I hope I'm saying his name right.
00:02:38
Speaker
I found him on Truth Social.
00:02:40
Speaker
It says, now people can see Fox News for what it has become.
00:02:45
Speaker
They hid behind Tucker after revealing themselves on election night when they called Arizona and other states long before it made sense to do so.
00:02:53
Speaker
Like James O'Keefe, Tucker is now free.
00:02:57
Speaker
My money's on him.
00:02:59
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:03:01
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:03:03
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:03:04
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:03:07
Speaker
One of the worst actors of all time who somehow has an Oscar wants you to eat bugs.
00:03:12
Speaker
You know, like all the Hollywood elite do.
00:03:15
Speaker
From Yahoo Entertainment, this.
00:03:18
Speaker
Nicolas Cage recalled eating a live cockroach while filming his 1988 cult movie Vampire's Kiss and discussed how eating insects, quote, could solve world starvation.
00:03:30
Speaker
This is an absurd piece of jackditation.
00:03:34
Speaker
Jackditation.
00:03:37
Speaker
A. The world isn't starving.
00:03:39
Speaker
Only certain areas of the world.
00:03:41
Speaker
B. Your net worth is $25 million.
00:03:43
Speaker
Pony up,
Critique of Simplistic Solutions
00:03:44
Speaker
Nick.
00:03:44
Speaker
Sell one of your Ferraris and send some bucks to Somalia.
00:03:47
Speaker
Oh, that's right.
00:03:48
Speaker
C. Your net worth was over $100 million, but you didn't pay your taxes and spent money like crazy, and you're down to only $25 million.
00:03:57
Speaker
So why are we taking advice from you again in Title I?
00:04:00
Speaker
D, don't you love those broad statements?
00:04:02
Speaker
Eating insects could solve world starvation.
00:04:05
Speaker
Driving electric cars will solve world pollution.
00:04:08
Speaker
Better yet, make all transportation public.
00:04:11
Speaker
In fact, no leaving your house.
00:04:13
Speaker
Think of the energy savings.
00:04:14
Speaker
Problem solved.
00:04:16
Speaker
Remember when we didn't leave our houses in 2020 and how clean the air was and how it was a virtual paradise?
00:04:22
Speaker
Oh, you don't?
00:04:22
Speaker
Because you were busy sheltering indoors and staying safe.
00:04:26
Speaker
It's a fucking amateur hour, man.
00:04:27
Speaker
Oh, so it's not the tyrannical corrupt governments keeping their people in poverty.
00:04:31
Speaker
It's not people like Bill Gates and other NWO types poisoning and destroying our natural food supply.
00:04:37
Speaker
Okay, they're not.
00:04:38
Speaker
These chicken and cow farms are just blowing up due to all the livestock farts.
00:04:43
Speaker
Funny how the Twinkies supply is just fine.
00:04:45
Speaker
The hostess factory catch fire yet?
00:04:48
Speaker
Amen to that, brother.
00:04:49
Speaker
Woo!
00:04:50
Speaker
The article says Cage spoke to Nicholas Holt, his co-star in the upcoming film titled Renfield, as he told the tale of his bug-eating experience.
00:04:59
Speaker
He said, oh yeah, I ate it twice because the director did it just to prank me.
00:05:04
Speaker
If you're being pranked with eating live bugs, then it's probably not something the average person wants to eat on a regular basis as part of their daily diet.
00:05:12
Speaker
Okay.
00:05:14
Speaker
He then gave Holt some advice about eating bugs on the set of their new film since his character eats insects to gain superhuman powers.
00:05:22
Speaker
He said if you could get rid of your fear, your phobia of eating insects could solve world starvation.
00:05:30
Speaker
And if I just wasn't terrified of heights, I could be one of those construction workers on a skyscraper beam.
00:05:35
Speaker
And if I didn't have claustrophobia, I could handle my girlfriend cuddling on me after sex for more than 20 minutes.
00:05:41
Speaker
Nick's got all the answers, folks.
00:05:44
Speaker
The article says Cage continued to detail the potential perks that come with eating bugs.
00:05:49
Speaker
And, of course, you can guess what they are.
00:05:52
Speaker
High protein, no fat, excellent nutrients, abundance, they're everywhere, he said.
00:05:57
Speaker
I mean, why not?
00:05:59
Speaker
But nope, not going to happen, Cage said.
00:06:03
Speaker
I love how these amateurs tout the high protein aspect in bugs.
00:06:09
Speaker
It's never about the taste, the texture, satiety.
00:06:12
Speaker
Really?
00:06:12
Speaker
All bugs?
00:06:13
Speaker
High in protein?
00:06:14
Speaker
And how many pounds of bugs will I have to gag down to equal what's found in salmon, chicken, lean beef?
00:06:21
Speaker
By the way, amateurs, the human body also needs carbohydrates, sugars, fats, and plenty of other vitamins and minerals.
00:06:28
Speaker
Perhaps, Bill, I didn't get nearly the wedgies I deserved as a child Gates could invent a bug-based food pill we could all take.
00:06:36
Speaker
Think of the time saved cooking and eating.
00:06:38
Speaker
And we wouldn't need electricity or gas to cook.
00:06:41
Speaker
Or better yet, a bug-based vaccine injected into our bodies.
00:06:45
Speaker
No, wait!
00:06:46
Speaker
I got it.
00:06:47
Speaker
A bug-based microchip that releases artificial bug-based proteins into our circulatory systems at regular intervals.
00:06:57
Speaker
Idiot.
Electric Vehicle Mandates and Consequences
00:06:59
Speaker
I'll never do that again, the actor told Yahoo Entertainment.
00:07:02
Speaker
I'm sorry I did it at all.
00:07:04
Speaker
But if only we all ate bugs to solve world starvation.
00:07:08
Speaker
Not as sorry as anyone who saw your movies, by the way.
00:07:10
Speaker
How did you get your acting jobs again?
00:07:12
Speaker
Oh, that's right.
00:07:14
Speaker
You're the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola and of actress Talia Shire and the cousin of directors Roman Coppola and Sofia Coppola.
00:07:22
Speaker
By the way, let's just say the world got behind the eating of bugs.
00:07:30
Speaker
Bees for breakfast, locusts for lunch, and dung beetles for dinner.
00:07:33
Speaker
Give it a week.
00:07:34
Speaker
That's just in.
00:07:36
Speaker
The world is running low on insects, so the New World Order asks that you begin an all-puppy diet to help end bug depletion.
00:07:43
Speaker
Even I think that's kind of cruel.
00:07:45
Speaker
Are you as sick of having the government, pro-athletes, and the Hollywood elite, the people who take...
00:07:52
Speaker
from you and don't pay your bills up your ass and in your face about every fucking aspect of your life as I am drive this don't drive that eat this don't eat that don't say that don't wear that give us your guns apologize for your race stop worshiping give us your children's minds pay more for everything
00:08:13
Speaker
Wait a minute, you're being sarcastic.
00:08:33
Speaker
Yes, you are.
00:08:34
Speaker
And what do all these things have in common?
00:08:36
Speaker
It's the government telling us this way is better.
00:08:40
Speaker
It's for your own good.
00:08:41
Speaker
It's for the greater good.
00:08:42
Speaker
Don't be racist.
00:08:44
Speaker
Be inclusive.
00:08:45
Speaker
Eat a bug.
00:08:46
Speaker
Pay more for eggs than you do for a gallon of gas.
00:08:48
Speaker
Go fuck yourself.
00:08:50
Speaker
It's no good.
00:08:53
Speaker
Amateur nation, i.e.
00:08:54
Speaker
Biden disciples, your way sucks.
00:08:58
Speaker
It doesn't work.
00:09:00
Speaker
It panders, destroys, guilt trips, deprives, and bleeds your mental and emotional health.
00:09:05
Speaker
Your way has brought out the ugliness in people.
00:09:08
Speaker
It rewards mental illness and lack.
00:09:10
Speaker
It takes from the hardworking and gives to the lazy and entitled while not helping the truly needy.
00:09:17
Speaker
Your way is sick.
00:09:18
Speaker
It's diseased.
00:09:20
Speaker
It's more of a conspiracy.
00:09:21
Speaker
Fucking A, B, C, and D. It makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
00:09:25
Speaker
You no longer get sympathy or understanding from me.
00:09:29
Speaker
You're all rage, sadness, weakness, and anarchy.
00:09:32
Speaker
Your way is all about taking away joy.
00:09:35
Speaker
Simple joys like driving, cooking,
00:09:39
Speaker
Getting together.
00:09:40
Speaker
Comedy.
00:09:41
Speaker
Your way means others must be like you so you can be happy.
00:09:45
Speaker
And you're not.
00:09:46
Speaker
You never will be happy because misery loves company.
00:09:52
Speaker
In conclusion, when Amateur Nation eats three squares a day on nothing but bugs, then I still won't because I don't follow stupid.
00:10:00
Speaker
I have never needed a beer so bad in my entire life.
00:10:04
Speaker
Just don't make
Twitter Blue Check Controversy
00:10:05
Speaker
it a Bud Light.
00:10:05
Speaker
Wait, wait, I got it.
00:10:08
Speaker
Bug Light.
00:10:09
Speaker
Bug-based beer.
00:10:11
Speaker
Now with half the tentacles.
00:10:12
Speaker
And now this.
00:10:14
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:10:17
Speaker
President Coloring Book announced his new emissions standards for vehicles with the goal of reducing carbon emissions by 10 billion tons over three decades.
00:10:25
Speaker
That means 67% of new car sales need to be electric by 2031.
00:10:30
Speaker
How we doing towards that goal?
00:10:33
Speaker
Well, last year, less than 6% of cars made in the U.S. were electric because they suck.
00:10:40
Speaker
Here come some facts.
00:10:42
Speaker
Ah!
00:10:43
Speaker
I know, amateurs, you hate facts, but here they are.
00:10:47
Speaker
The average EV costs $18,000 more than a gas-powered car.
00:10:52
Speaker
Expect more blackouts due to the drain on the electrical grids.
00:10:55
Speaker
And let's not forget the evil empire that is China is behind all this shit.
00:10:59
Speaker
They hold 78% of the world's battery cell manufacturing.
00:11:05
Speaker
Now, to make one A, as in one car battery, you need 500,000 pounds of the Earth's crust.
00:11:15
Speaker
Remember the Earth?
00:11:16
Speaker
Earth Day just happened.
00:11:17
Speaker
Did you kiss a rock?
00:11:18
Speaker
Anyway, 500,000 pounds of the Earth's crust must be excavated.
00:11:23
Speaker
25,000 pounds of brine for lithium.
00:11:26
Speaker
Luckily, brine is everywhere.
00:11:28
Speaker
30,000 pounds of ore for cobalt.
00:11:30
Speaker
Wow.
00:11:31
Speaker
I got that in my backyard.
00:11:33
Speaker
5,000 pounds of ore for nickel and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper.
00:11:38
Speaker
Materials needed to make the most vital parts of EVs are in countries with the worst environmental and human rights records, China, Russia, and the Congo.
00:11:48
Speaker
More cars means more earth devastation and more human rights suffering.
00:11:54
Speaker
Well, that's okay.
00:11:54
Speaker
I still like saying going green.
00:11:57
Speaker
Idea, a car that runs on bugs.
00:12:03
Speaker
Have you read my book?
00:12:04
Speaker
This podcast is based on it.

Santini Governor Santini hold still there's more
00:13:58
Speaker
And now the topic that was the inspiration for this episode's title.
00:14:01
Speaker
I abandoned Twitter a long time ago after I got a couple posts deleted under the tyranny of Commie Jack Dorsey.
00:14:07
Speaker
I thought about going back now that it's a truer platform for free speech, but it's just another time suck and something that's intrusive in my life that I have to maintain.
00:14:16
Speaker
I already spend way too much time on social media for pleasure and research for this show, so I'm done with Twitter.
00:14:23
Speaker
However, the Hollywood elite are busting springs everywhere.
00:14:27
Speaker
Headline from the Daily Wire, Bette Midler melts down over losing blue check on Twitter.
00:14:32
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:14:34
Speaker
Leftist activist and actress Bette Midler... Was she a great big fat person?
00:14:37
Speaker
Well, she used to be, kinda....had a tantrum on Twitter after she lost her blue check mark as part of a planned update to the social media platform.
00:14:46
Speaker
She addressed Elon Musk saying, quote...
00:14:50
Speaker
Elon, deciding that I'm not me, I'm a fake, and obliging me, who has contributed mightily to your platform, at least until you tweaked the algorithm and tanked my metrics, to pay monthly because you don't have enough money, and you're humiliated because everyone thinks you're a pathetic douche is the funniest thing you've ever done.
00:15:08
Speaker
Let that sink in.
00:15:09
Speaker
Sorry to hear about your rocket.
00:15:10
Speaker
Go fuck yourself, you fucking child.
00:15:13
Speaker
How childish is that rant?
00:15:17
Speaker
Everyone thinks you're a pathetic douche.
00:15:19
Speaker
Can't you just picture a 12-year-old girl saying something like that to another girl in the playground?
00:15:25
Speaker
Everyone thinks you're ugly.
00:15:27
Speaker
Sorry to hear about your rocket, said the 12-year-old at the science fair.
00:15:31
Speaker
Can you see how pathetic this is?
00:15:34
Speaker
A 77-year-old accomplished entertainer with four Golden Globes, three Grammys, three Primetime Emmys, two Tonys, a Kennedy Center honor, a British Academy Film Award, and two Oscar noms, and a net worth of $250 million is throwing a fit over a blue checkmark.
00:15:55
Speaker
Funny how she calls out Elon Musk's money but doesn't have a problem with the myriads of public servants in Congress and the White House who are millionaires hundreds of times over due to insider trading and backdoor deals with China.
00:16:08
Speaker
Elon Musk, as far as I know, never did anything illegal to make his billions.
00:16:12
Speaker
Funny how she didn't have a problem with Jack Dorsey, former Twitter CEO, net worth $4.2 billion.
00:16:20
Speaker
Elon took my blue check away.
00:16:22
Speaker
I'm unverified.
00:16:23
Speaker
Well, I can verify that.
00:16:25
Speaker
Yes, I think you're stupid.
00:16:27
Speaker
After all these years and thousands of tweets and free content, this worm has the nerve to decertify me, Bette Midler wrote.
00:16:35
Speaker
The message went viral, earning 1.9 million views and many mocking replies.
00:16:41
Speaker
One person replied, if you had any self-awareness, this tweet would embarrass you.
00:16:48
Speaker
I just picture Butt Muddler at home, checking her laptop every 60 seconds to see if her blue checkmark is there.
00:16:55
Speaker
And if Elon Musk suddenly let her have it back, she'll let out this, oh, okay.
00:17:01
Speaker
There it is.
00:17:02
Speaker
And then her many assistants breathe a sigh of relief, only to have Elon Musk remove it again.
00:17:07
Speaker
If I was Elon Musk, I would hire an intern whose sole purpose is to randomly give and take away Butt Muddler's blue checkmark until she dies.
00:17:16
Speaker
Like she has it for a day, then gone for a day.
00:17:18
Speaker
Has it for an hour, gone for a week.
00:17:20
Speaker
Has it for a week, gone for five minutes.
00:17:22
Speaker
It's that little voice in your mind that says, fuck you to the people you hate.
00:17:27
Speaker
The article continues saying the individuals and businesses now need to pay the social media platform $8 per month to be part of the Twitter blue program, which also permits the edit feature on tweets.
00:17:39
Speaker
While almost all celebrities lost their blue check marks with the update, Musk made sure that three prominent figures who publicly promised they would never subscribe to Twitter blue kept their verified status despite not paying for it.
00:17:55
Speaker
Who are the three?
00:17:56
Speaker
NBA star LeBron James, horror author Stephen King, and Star Trek actor William Shatner are all still verified on Twitter.
00:18:06
Speaker
But Stephen King tweeted on Thursday, my Twitter account says I've subscribed to Twitter Blue.
00:18:12
Speaker
I haven't.
00:18:13
Speaker
My Twitter account says I've given a phone number.
00:18:15
Speaker
I haven't.
00:18:17
Speaker
Musk replied by saying, you're welcome.
00:18:19
Speaker
Namaste.
Criticism of Political and Social Figures
00:18:21
Speaker
The world's richest man later confirmed he had kept blue checks just for Shatner, LeBron, and King.
00:18:28
Speaker
Here's the best part.
00:18:29
Speaker
They didn't want to have to pay $8 for a Twitter blue subscription and be like everybody else.
00:18:34
Speaker
So, to get back at Elon Musk, they promoted block the blue, thinking that if they blocked the Twitter blue people, that would ultimately hurt Elon Musk.
00:18:45
Speaker
The article says that's when Musk pulled a genius move.
00:18:48
Speaker
He gave some of the people promoting the blocking of the blue checks their blue checks back and then laughed at them.
00:18:57
Speaker
Infants.
00:18:59
Speaker
All of them.
00:19:01
Speaker
The article says, now suddenly blue checks were, quote, bad.
00:19:05
Speaker
Multiple accounts that had over a million followers were wanting that they'd gotten the check back, yet hadn't paid.
00:19:12
Speaker
And now they were upset that they'd gotten it back, including people like Rick Wilson, Paul Krugman, I don't know who the hell these people are, and Chrissy Teigen.
00:19:20
Speaker
How this pumpkin head is famous, I have no idea.
00:19:24
Speaker
She says, wait, I'm crying.
00:19:25
Speaker
They're giving them for punishment now.
00:19:29
Speaker
It still gets better.
00:19:31
Speaker
The article says, so then they were doing all they could to get rid of the checks, sharing techniques about how you could accomplish that.
00:19:38
Speaker
Then came more virtue signaling meltdowns as liberals insisted they had not paid for the check, didn't know why it was there, and were trying to get rid of it.
00:19:49
Speaker
Actor Ron Perlman whined he had not paid.
00:19:54
Speaker
He said, just for the record, I have not subscribed to Twitter Blue, nor will I ever.
00:19:59
Speaker
Dear Elon, creepy people do creepy things.
00:20:02
Speaker
Best regards, Ron.
00:20:04
Speaker
And amateurs will do amateur things because they need attention and because they're full of emotion.
00:20:12
Speaker
And if there are young people listening right now, do you see how immature, insecure,
00:20:19
Speaker
hate-filled, hostile, worried, nervous, entitled, protected, and mentally ill much of Hollywood is?
00:20:28
Speaker
By the way, Ron Perlman, like all those in Hollywood who would move to Canada when Trump got elected and would leave Twitter when Musk took over, said he was going to leave Twitter in October of last year because of Musk.
00:20:40
Speaker
I want somebody to pay a little attention to me.
00:20:43
Speaker
It's April, girl.
00:20:54
Speaker
All right, let's lighten up a little bit here.
00:20:56
Speaker
Let's take some nibbles off the a la carte menu.
00:20:58
Speaker
Here we go.
00:21:00
Speaker
The VP's back and there's gonna be rambling.
00:21:03
Speaker
Hala, Hala, the VP's back.
00:21:07
Speaker
Yes, America's favorite cackling hyena, Kamala Sling Blade Harris is back.
00:21:12
Speaker
And this time, courtesy of the proud Republican on Instagram, she's expounding on the country of Africa.
00:21:19
Speaker
Pencils ready?
00:21:20
Speaker
Median age on the continent of Africa is 19.
00:21:26
Speaker
By 2050, one in four people occupying space on Mother Earth will be on the continent of Africa.
00:21:38
Speaker
Think about what that means in terms of the opportunity, in terms of the future, in terms of the obvious fact, I believe, as evidenced by the demographics I've just shared,
00:21:55
Speaker
which is that what happens on that continent will impact the entire globe.
00:22:02
Speaker
That's just you saying a bunch of things.
00:22:04
Speaker
Hey, Bud Light Marketing Chief Alyssa Heinerscheid has taken a leave of absence.
00:22:08
Speaker
You know, I remember when I was marketing director and creative director of a design build firm in Los Angeles, and I put my feelings ahead of facts and thought I knew better than a company that had been around for 147 years and cost the company $8 billion in a week and they sent me home that day without pay.
00:22:24
Speaker
That sucked.
00:22:25
Speaker
Oh wait, that never happened to me.
00:22:27
Speaker
Go to hell.
00:22:29
Speaker
Good riddance.
00:22:30
Speaker
P.S.
00:22:31
Speaker
I'll still never buy an Anheuser-Busch product.
00:22:34
Speaker
Amateur nation, defend this.
00:22:37
Speaker
President Joe Biden is pledging $1 billion in your taxpayer money to a United Nations climate fund that funnels millions of dollars to China, the world's largest emitter of carbon and second largest economy.
00:22:52
Speaker
Well, he's an asshole, that's what.
00:22:53
Speaker
So what?
00:22:54
Speaker
It's his age.
00:22:55
Speaker
Did you know illicit drugs are bad?
00:22:58
Speaker
And if you give out free needles, drug users will use more drugs.
00:23:01
Speaker
And if you give them free squatting rights to do the free drugs, they'll do more drugs.
00:23:05
Speaker
It's true.
00:23:06
Speaker
I looked it up.
00:23:07
Speaker
Well, California Emperor Gavin Newsom is teaming up with the CHP, the SFPD, the San Francisco DA's office, and the National Guard to get a handle on the fentanyl epidemic.
00:23:17
Speaker
One of those pesky drug users must have found his way onto one of his vineyards.
00:23:21
Speaker
California is asshole.
00:23:23
Speaker
What have I been saying?
00:23:24
Speaker
All right, so you got a good career going.
00:23:27
Speaker
Got the wife or husband and 2.3 kids.
00:23:29
Speaker
You cut corners where you had to.
00:23:31
Speaker
You scrimped.
00:23:31
Speaker
You saved.
00:23:32
Speaker
Did some smart investing that did involve insider trading like most of Congress.
00:23:37
Speaker
College debt has paid off through hard work and not from a handout from President Coloring Book.
00:23:41
Speaker
You're ready to buy a house.
00:23:42
Speaker
Your first house.
00:23:43
Speaker
Maybe your dream house.
00:23:45
Speaker
Luckily, you've worked hard to improve your credit.
00:23:48
Speaker
Quick look at your credit score.
00:23:49
Speaker
Wow, 800.
00:23:50
Speaker
Good for you.
00:23:51
Speaker
Oh, 1% fee added on.
00:23:55
Speaker
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:23:58
Speaker
Hang on.
00:23:59
Speaker
Your irresponsible brother-in-law's FICO score is 620.
00:24:03
Speaker
Wait a minute, he gets a 1.75% discount?
00:24:06
Speaker
Wrong!
00:24:08
Speaker
That's wrong!
00:24:09
Speaker
Hey, did you know May 8th is National Outdoor Intercourse Day?
00:24:14
Speaker
Alright, I'll be right back.
00:24:17
Speaker
Time now for three pro things.
00:24:19
Speaker
Three things in the world that are done right.
00:24:22
Speaker
To give us hope.
00:24:23
Speaker
Here they are.
00:24:23
Speaker
Alright, let's let the furry from a past episode do the honors and be the bumpers for each pro thing.
00:24:29
Speaker
Here we go.
00:24:29
Speaker
Cue furry number one.
00:24:30
Speaker
Meow.
Positive Segments and Parody Song
00:24:32
Speaker
Stop Erasing Women is the title of this reel found on Instagram by at living life like Alex.
00:24:39
Speaker
I've done my share of speaking on behalf of women, especially when it comes to trans men and women's sports.
00:24:44
Speaker
And of course, the proliferation of men pretending to be women used as marketing tools for various products and being seen on magazine covers, even getting woman of the year awards.
00:24:54
Speaker
Well, this woman has had enough.
00:24:56
Speaker
And man, she says it exactly right.
00:24:59
Speaker
The sad thing is, amateurs pretending to be men will simply reply with, well, I'm still a woman and you can't tell me otherwise.
00:25:06
Speaker
And you can't because mental illness.
00:25:09
Speaker
Here's Alex.
00:25:10
Speaker
Hey, I just want to clear some things up for some people.
00:25:14
Speaker
I'm not a birthing person.
00:25:15
Speaker
I'm not a menstruating person.
00:25:17
Speaker
I'm not a chest feeder.
00:25:18
Speaker
I'm not a costume.
00:25:19
Speaker
I'm not a caricature.
00:25:20
Speaker
And I certainly can't be duplicated in 365 days.
00:25:23
Speaker
Makeup doesn't define me and neither does what I wear.
00:25:25
Speaker
And for the love of all things good, don't call me a cis woman.
00:25:29
Speaker
I'm just a woman.
00:25:30
Speaker
And I did not get seven layers of my stomach cut open bringing my son into this world to be erased by Mr. Five O'Clock Shadow in a dress.
00:25:36
Speaker
We no longer have our own bathrooms, feminine products, sports, without mentally ill men claiming an identity that isn't theirs being shoved down our throats.
00:25:43
Speaker
Your girlhood videos where you mock us and your bottom surgery will never make you a woman.
00:25:48
Speaker
There's no logical reason why a man should be in partnership with tampons and sports bras.
00:25:52
Speaker
And acknowledging any male that says he's a woman and agreeing because it's the nice thing to do is being complicit and a lie.
00:25:58
Speaker
And at this point, I am just so tired of being told,
00:26:00
Speaker
I must be accepting of such fairy tales.
00:26:04
Speaker
And pro thing number two.
00:26:07
Speaker
I like Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley.
00:26:10
Speaker
I like his straightforwardness, his questioning of wrongdoers on Capitol Hill, and frankly, I like how he speaks.
00:26:16
Speaker
Here he is with a mic drop calling out the globalists' New World Order policies at the Heritage Foundation's 50th Anniversary Leadership Summit.
00:26:24
Speaker
I just suggest you this 30 years into this experiment of new world order politics.
00:26:29
Speaker
The verdict is that the politics of new world order have failed.
00:26:35
Speaker
They have failed our people.
00:26:38
Speaker
They have failed our party.
00:26:42
Speaker
The pursuit of economic globalism has failed.
00:26:44
Speaker
The pursuit of liberal empire has failed.
00:26:46
Speaker
It has cost us shocking sums of money.
00:26:49
Speaker
I think Senator Scott was maybe just talking about some of that.
00:26:52
Speaker
It has fueled the rise of our most serious adversary, China.
00:26:57
Speaker
We will surely look back at the decision to create the World Trade Organization and its current structure and to admit China to the WTO and then to give China permanent most favored nation status as one of the most colossal errors any global power has made in its history.
00:27:17
Speaker
And certainly it's one of the biggest errors the United States has ever made.
00:27:20
Speaker
What did that do?
00:27:23
Speaker
It fueled the rise of China.
00:27:24
Speaker
China has built its military on the backs of our middle class.
00:27:30
Speaker
China has systematically cheated on trade, systematically cheated and manipulated its own monetary policy.
00:27:37
Speaker
And the policies that our governing class adopted in the 1990s and early 2000s helped them do it.
00:27:43
Speaker
But worse than all of that, worse than all of that, the new world order politics has cost us a way of life.
00:27:51
Speaker
and that's the working class way of life.
00:27:54
Speaker
The economic policies of the last 30 years have sent millions of jobs overseas, and they tend to come from one part of the country.
00:28:03
Speaker
They come from the blue collar worker part of our country.
00:28:07
Speaker
It is the working class, the middle class of this nation that have paid in jobs lost, in wages lost, in families lost because of the politics of the last 30 years.
00:28:19
Speaker
What does that mean practically?
00:28:21
Speaker
Well, it's meant that whole towns and communities have disappeared.
00:28:25
Speaker
Listen, I know I came from one of them.
00:28:26
Speaker
I'm from a small town in West Central Missouri.
00:28:29
Speaker
I watched as I grew up local industry leave.
00:28:34
Speaker
I watched jobs be lost.
00:28:36
Speaker
I lost folks who work nearby at a manufacturing plant, who work nearby on the assembly line, lose their jobs, lose their livelihoods, lose the ability to support their families.
00:28:47
Speaker
That's happened all across our country, not just in Missouri, not just in Michigan, not just in places that begin with M.
00:28:53
Speaker
but all across the United States of America.
00:28:57
Speaker
You can see and hear his full remarks on YouTube.
00:29:01
Speaker
And furry number three.
00:29:02
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:29:07
Speaker
You gotta love a cat that says, oh, mid-meow.
00:29:11
Speaker
Anyway, about a year ago, I wrote and produced one of five parody songs found on my YouTube page, At Lusantini.
00:29:18
Speaker
It's a parody of the, I think it's 1996, Mickey Avalon song called My Dick.
00:29:24
Speaker
I rewrote the lyrics and produced a song called My Prez.
00:29:28
Speaker
And with every passing day of stupidity, insults to my intelligence, more corruption being exposed with hard evidence and testimony, this song is more on the money every day.
00:29:38
Speaker
Please check out my sketches slash parody songs category on my YouTube page.
00:29:42
Speaker
Share this song with someone who gets it.
00:29:45
Speaker
Like it, comment on it, do what you got to do.
00:29:47
Speaker
And especially share it with someone who still thinks that mentally incompetent crip keeper President Biden is better than Donald Trump.
Closing Remarks and Promotions
00:29:55
Speaker
This is called MyPrez.
00:29:57
Speaker
Enjoy.
00:30:23
Speaker
Prez has a classy, smart wife.
00:30:25
Speaker
Yo, Prez done nothing all the
00:32:06
Speaker
Prez, always cause for alarm My Prez, gets peace in the Middle East Your Prez, stupidity never cease My Prez, won election fair and square Your Prez, fell three times up the stairs My Prez, made medicine affordable Your Prez, everything he does is horrible
