Theme of the Podcast: Calling Out 'Amateurs'
00:00:54
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:00:59
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots, attention whores, ignoramacists, 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.
00:01:16
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:18
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:20
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini and I am the man.
00:01:24
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:27
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:30
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:32
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:01:34
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-whoring, self-entitled drama queen victim types 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.
00:01:47
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:01:47
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:01:48
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:01:50
Speaker
If you're going to lie to me, tell me there's a broad waiting in the car.
00:01:53
Speaker
I want to tongue my ball.
00:01:54
Speaker
No lies on this show, just facts, common sense, logic, and plenty of sarcasm.
00:01:58
Speaker
This is episode 225, Liars and Whiners and Pears.
00:02:01
Speaker
Oh, my.
00:02:04
Speaker
As always, fans first, shouts out to Oliver Miles Homeward and the Dan Andrews Experience and Patrick listening and commenting to the show on SoundCloud and Joe13Jones subscribing to my YouTube page, at Lusantini.
00:02:19
Speaker
Here comes your post of the week.
00:02:21
Speaker
This one from The Captain, a.k.a.
00:02:23
Speaker
at SGRSTK.
00:02:26
Speaker
Here it is.
00:02:27
Speaker
A fact is information minus emotion.
00:02:33
Speaker
An opinion is information plus experience.
00:02:38
Speaker
Ignorance is an opinion lacking information.
00:02:42
Speaker
You know, I've been asked this question in person and on social media.
00:02:47
Speaker
What makes a topic topic worthy?
00:02:50
Speaker
on your podcast.
00:02:51
Speaker
Well, it's quite simple.
00:02:52
Speaker
I read something or hear of something or something happens to me, and if I say to myself, there it is, that's it.
00:02:58
Speaker
There are dozens of amateur things of significance happening locally in my country and around the world literally every single day.
00:03:05
Speaker
But mainstream media and other social media angles cover them thoroughly.
00:03:09
Speaker
But if I sniff out the amateur angle right away, if I see one of the 30 truths about amateurs,
00:03:18
Speaker
As found in my book, being obvious and apparent, I jump on it.
00:03:23
Speaker
If I read something and I start shaking my head, that's always a good sign.
00:03:27
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:03:29
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
Pras Michel's Legal Troubles
00:03:31
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:03:33
Speaker
All right, from the title of this episode, Liars and Whiners and Pears.
00:03:37
Speaker
Oh, my.
00:03:38
Speaker
First, the liars.
00:03:39
Speaker
This topic, it's a little surreal even for this show.
00:03:42
Speaker
Here we go.
00:03:44
Speaker
Former Fuji's rapper Praz Michelle was found guilty of colluding with China in clandestine foreign influence campaign scheme and gets a 20-year sentence for witness tampering and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.
00:04:00
Speaker
What did they do that for?
00:04:01
Speaker
Because they're stupid, that's why.
00:04:03
Speaker
That doesn't look good on a job application.
00:04:05
Speaker
Hang on a second, wait.
00:04:07
Speaker
I'm having deja vu.
00:04:09
Speaker
Who else do I know did that?
00:04:11
Speaker
Was it my mom?
00:04:12
Speaker
No.
00:04:13
Speaker
My ex?
00:04:14
Speaker
That sounds like something she would do, but no, it wasn't her.
00:04:17
Speaker
I know it wasn't me.
00:04:18
Speaker
Oh, wait, I remember.
00:04:19
Speaker
It was President Coloring Book and his crackhead son Hunter.
00:04:22
Speaker
I've done some dumb things, and I'll do dumb things again.
00:04:26
Speaker
Except neither one of them have been found guilty of treason.
00:04:30
Speaker
Yet.
00:04:31
Speaker
The article says a federal court in Washington found rapper Pras Michel, I think I'm pretty sure I'm saying his name right, former artist for the Fugees guilty on Wednesday for colluding with the Chinese government.
00:04:44
Speaker
The Grammy-winning artist and former member of the Fugees faced multiple counts over the failed conspiracy to help Malaysian businessman Joe Lowe and the Chinese government gain access to U.S. officials, including former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, reported CNN of all news media outlets.
00:05:02
Speaker
Michelle faces up to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the U.S., witness tampering, and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.
00:05:15
Speaker
The article says prosecutors had alleged that Michel funneled $800,000 that Lowe paid to him in 2012 to get a picture with former President Barack Obama.
00:05:26
Speaker
Michel gave the money to Obama's campaign through a series of straw donors.
00:05:31
Speaker
Federal prosecutors say that Michelle distributed up to $21.6 million of Lowe's money to some 20 straw donors who then donated the money to Obama.
00:05:43
Speaker
The straw donors were U.S. citizens employed to make the donations to shield the fact that the money actually came illegally from a foreign donor.
00:05:53
Speaker
Michel is alleged to have been paid $70 million by low to affect the donation scheme and other services he provided.
00:06:04
Speaker
Michel has been charged with 11 criminal counts of trying to influence the Obama and Trump administrations.
00:06:09
Speaker
All right, am I oversimplifying this, or would it be easier to audit his tax records and or bank accounts and say, okay, where did you get this extra $70 million?
00:06:19
Speaker
I have the government up my ass for its measly tax money that I supposedly owe.
00:06:23
Speaker
This guy has been paid $70 million since 2012, and he's just now in trouble?
00:06:28
Speaker
But don't worry.
00:06:30
Speaker
Pras Michel has a legitimate excuse.
00:06:32
Speaker
The article says, Michel claimed that he used the money at his own discretion and did not follow Lowe's orders.
00:06:39
Speaker
I could have bought 12 elephants with it.
00:06:42
Speaker
Did you know the average cost of an elephant is $5,833,333?
00:06:45
Speaker
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently testified that he found the money and donations to Obama's campaign surprising.
00:06:55
Speaker
Yeah, I know when someone gives me money to perform a service or do a job in amount like, oh, I don't know, $70 million, I usually just buy what I want and don't expect the buyer to ask any follow-up questions.
00:07:06
Speaker
DiCaprio said it was a significant sum, something to the tune of $20 to $30 million.
00:07:11
Speaker
He said, wow, that's a lot of money.
00:07:13
Speaker
Now, according to CNN, Lowe approached Michel again in 2017 when former President Trump's administration began investigating his alleged role in billions of dollars being embezzled from 1MBD, the Malaysian Sovereign Wealth Fund.
00:07:29
Speaker
According to the prosecutors, Lowe directed over $100 million to Michelle to help push the government, including Trump, to drop its investigation into Lowe.
00:07:42
Speaker
Noted CNN, prosecutors also say Michelle advocated for the extradition of a Chinese dissident, Guo Wengui, I'm guessing I'm saying that name right, on behalf of the Chinese government.
00:07:55
Speaker
The article continues saying,
00:08:24
Speaker
Okay, so you got $100 million.
00:08:26
Speaker
Where'd you get it from?
00:08:28
Speaker
How hard is it to ask that question?
00:08:30
Speaker
Michelle's attorney, David Kenner, said the case will be appealed and called the verdict disappointing.
00:08:35
Speaker
We are extremely disappointed in that result, but are very, very confident in the ultimate outcome of this case.
00:08:40
Speaker
If we do move to a sentencing hearing, I remain very confident we will certainly appeal this case.
00:08:45
Speaker
This is not over.
00:08:46
Speaker
I'm sure it was just a big understanding.
00:08:48
Speaker
It must have been a different famous rapper who worked with the leader of a country for years and committed various treasonous acts to the tune of, what, $70 million, $100 million?
00:08:56
Speaker
You know, all this makes you wonder just how many other celebrities work for China.
00:09:05
Speaker
Ron James.
00:09:06
Speaker
And now this.
00:09:07
Speaker
Topic number two.
Gender Identity and Awards
00:09:10
Speaker
And now, from the title of this episode, The Whiners.
00:09:14
Speaker
From the Daily Wire, here's your headline.
00:09:18
Speaker
There's not a place for me.
00:09:20
Speaker
Yellow Jacket star won't compete for Emmy because of gendered acting categories.
00:09:25
Speaker
Diversity is good, right?
00:09:27
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:09:29
Speaker
Yellow Jackets star Liv Hewson... Okay, shut up.
00:09:33
Speaker
All right, I don't care who you are.
00:09:34
Speaker
I don't care what you want....said the actor won't compete for an Emmy Award for the role of Vanessa Van Palmer on the hit Showtime series because of gendered acting categories.
00:09:44
Speaker
The 27-year-old Australian actor said there was not an available category that would fit, opting instead to simply bow out of this year's primetime Emmys despite being eligible in the main acting races, Variety reported.
00:09:58
Speaker
There's not a place for me in the acting categories, Hewson said.
00:10:02
Speaker
It would be inaccurate for me to submit myself as an actress.
00:10:05
Speaker
It neither makes sense for me to be lumped in with the boys.
00:10:09
Speaker
I can't submit myself for this because there's no space for me.
00:10:12
Speaker
Help!
00:10:13
Speaker
Help!
00:10:13
Speaker
I'm being repressed!
00:10:14
Speaker
Hewson is probably best known for the role of Abby Hammond in the Netflix series,
00:10:19
Speaker
Santa Clarita Diet.
00:10:21
Speaker
At the age of 16, Hewson came out and announced the actor was non-binary and went by they, them pronouns.
00:10:28
Speaker
Oh, and I thought it was called who cares-ness.
00:10:31
Speaker
Can you imagine being 16 and you want to be known as they?
00:10:40
Speaker
I mean, I'm not speaking on behalf of anyone besides myself, but I do know what
00:10:46
Speaker
the other 16 year olds were like in my high school.
00:10:48
Speaker
And it's all about being an individual while at the same time, you want to be accepted by your peers, right?
00:10:55
Speaker
You want to be normal enough and regular enough that he or she's fine, but enough where you're like, you still have your own sense of style, your music taste or things like that.
00:11:07
Speaker
But to just shut down any he, she, like I'm a they, you were just looking, you would be just looking to get your ass kicked back then.
00:11:18
Speaker
My no amateurs tees are half off due to limited supply and sizes.
00:11:22
Speaker
Under 12 bucks?
00:11:24

00:11:43
Speaker
We'll take a three-step.
00:11:44
Speaker
Three-step.
00:11:47
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:11:51
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.

Speaker
Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:13:26
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:13:27
Speaker
Hey!
00:13:31
Speaker
Ah, technology.
00:13:32
Speaker
Making our lives easier.
00:13:34
Speaker
Faster.
00:13:35
Speaker
More convenient.
00:13:36
Speaker
Better.
00:13:37
Speaker
Take, for example, TV.
00:13:39
Speaker
I'm not talking about the myriads of choices we now have compared to when I was a kid back in the day.
00:13:44
Speaker
When I was a kid, we had three good channels and one channel that came in kinda, sometimes, depending on the antenna and the weather.
00:13:53
Speaker
I'm talking about the simple act.
00:13:56
Speaker
of turning on the TV.
00:13:58
Speaker
So I present to you...
00:14:21
Speaker
Chances are the one you need isn't within eyesight.
00:14:24
Speaker
Check under the couch and between the cushions.
00:14:26
Speaker
Oh wait, there it is.
00:14:28
Speaker
On the kitchen counter for some reason.
00:14:31
Speaker
Step two.
00:14:32
Speaker
Turn the TV on.
00:14:34
Speaker
Or is it a device?
00:14:36
Speaker
Whatever, turn something on.
00:14:38
Speaker
Step 3.
00:14:39
Speaker
Go make a sandwich.
00:14:41
Speaker
Your TV is warming up, or as they call it in today's modern era, buffering, so it can start streaming sometime whenever it feels like it.
00:14:50
Speaker
This is like when TVs warmed up the tubes like back in the 1950s.
00:14:55
Speaker
Ah, progress.
00:14:56
Speaker
Step 4.
00:14:58
Speaker
Now that your sandwich is made and probably eaten, it's time to start watching TV.
00:15:03
Speaker
Now select a streaming service.
00:15:05
Speaker
Step 5.
00:15:07
Speaker
Now that you've selected a streaming service, choose a network.
00:15:10
Speaker
Back in the day, it was simply NBC, CBS, ABC, and later Fox.
00:15:16
Speaker
Now, thankfully, there are hundreds of networks to choose from, and they all come with Plus Networks.
00:15:21
Speaker
Paramount Plus, Peacock, HBO Max.
00:15:24
Speaker
Don't forget to choose the version without commercials.
00:15:27
Speaker
Think of the time saved, not the money spent.
00:15:31
Speaker
On your remote, push the Home button.
00:15:34
Speaker
Hit it again.
00:15:36
Speaker
No, you gotta aim it.
00:15:38
Speaker
Point it at the thing.
00:15:40
Speaker
Step seven, if you have no results, check the batteries.
00:15:44
Speaker
Summon all your non-dominant hand and a knuckle thumb strength and try to slide the battery cover off the remote.
00:15:51
Speaker
Roll the batteries around.
00:15:53
Speaker
If that doesn't work, take the batteries out, switch the order of the batteries, and try again.
00:16:00
Speaker
Step eight, get up off the couch and walk over to the streaming device and point the remote directly in front of it.
00:16:07
Speaker
The light has to come out.
00:16:08
Speaker
There you go.
00:16:10
Speaker
Step nine.
00:16:11
Speaker
Throw the remote.
00:16:12
Speaker
Make sure it hits something hard enough so the batteries pop out, but not so hard as to break the remote.
00:16:19
Speaker
Step ten.
00:16:20
Speaker
Spend three to five minutes looking for the batteries on the floor.
00:16:23
Speaker
Chances are they rolled under something narrow and dark.
00:16:27
Speaker
Step eleven.
00:16:28
Speaker
Now that you've chosen a network, choose a TV show.
00:16:33
Speaker
Step 12.
00:16:34
Speaker
Now that you've chosen a show, adjust the volume as needed.
00:16:38
Speaker
Don't hit the wrong button.
00:16:40
Speaker
Whoops.
00:16:43
Speaker
You're back to the home screen.
00:16:45
Speaker
You'll be tempted to kill yourself.
00:16:47
Speaker
Instead, pop in an old DVD of a movie you've already seen.
00:16:51
Speaker
Remember DVDs.
Political and Social Commentary
00:17:06
Speaker
All right, a few things off the a la carte menu.
00:17:08
Speaker
Let's dive in.
00:17:10
Speaker
And the winner of the 2023 Redundancy Awards goes to Kamala Slingblade Harris.
00:17:16
Speaker
Here she is with broad swooping hand gestures.
00:17:19
Speaker
So I think it's very important, as you have heard from so many incredible leaders, for us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment
00:17:34
Speaker
in time in which we exist and are present and to be able to contextualize it to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future how much weed does she smoke you fucking
00:17:53
Speaker
On this show, we've covered people identifying as members of the opposite sex, people inventing their own sex, people identifying as cats, a.k.a.
00:18:02
Speaker
furries.
00:18:03
Speaker
And now, ladies and gentlemen, meet Horace, a young person who is clearly a woman, but is playing pretend, identifying as, well, let her tell you.
00:18:14
Speaker
My name is Horace, and I'm a red-tailed hawk.
00:18:17
Speaker
In our world I do have the body of a hawk, but while fronting I consider myself a Therian because I am in a human body but my identity is still a hawk.
00:18:24
Speaker
Not all animal alters will identify this way, and I am in fact the only animal alter in our system who does identify this way.
00:18:31
Speaker
I am doing my best to come to terms with living in a human body.
00:18:34
Speaker
P.S.
00:18:35
Speaker
She's wearing glasses.
00:18:37
Speaker
Hawks have perfect eyesight.
00:18:41
Speaker
Worst hawk ever.
00:18:45
Speaker
Dylan Mulvaney, the man making a good living pretending to be a girl, said this.
00:18:49
Speaker
Like the articles written about me using key pronouns and calling me a man over and over again.
00:18:56
Speaker
And I feel like that should be illegal.
00:18:59
Speaker
See, that's odd.
00:19:01
Speaker
Someone in amateur nation is guided by their feelings.
00:19:04
Speaker
He went on to say that referring to him as a man is bad journalism.
00:19:09
Speaker
Actually, it's the exact opposite as good journalism reports facts.
00:19:15
Speaker
So if in regular conversation I jokingly say to my girlfriend, dude, do I go to jail?
00:19:20
Speaker
If I tease my male friends when they short putt or throw an air ball in basketball and call them Nancy, do we bust out the cuffs?
00:19:27
Speaker
What if I get a woman's name wrong?
00:19:29
Speaker
Jail, what if I go to a carnival and the carny guesses my weight wrong?
00:19:35
Speaker
And now Dylan Mulvaney is the spokesperson for Maybelline?
00:19:39
Speaker
But he wasn't born with it.
00:19:41
Speaker
Maybe it's make believe.
00:19:43
Speaker
I got no more use for this guy.
00:19:44
Speaker
Alright, we cover the liars, the whiners, and now the pears.
00:19:49
Speaker
Remember when Bill Hitler, I mean Bill Gates, just made computers?
00:19:52
Speaker
Yeah, me neither.
00:19:53
Speaker
He's gay now, if that makes you feel any better.
00:19:56
Speaker
Well, I don't have any intel on that, but the world's only father to yet have never seen a naked breast now devotes all his time to poisoning humans and killing us off, the very people who bought all his computers.
00:20:07
Speaker
The noise.
00:20:07
Speaker
That's the most fantastic story I've ever heard.
00:20:10
Speaker
How can you make up a thing like that?
00:20:12
Speaker
What do you know about it?
00:20:13
Speaker
I know.
00:20:13
Speaker
We pay him money for computers just so he can later poison us with the untested gene experiments.
00:20:18
Speaker
And now his latest science experiment, coating produce with chemicals so they last longer.
00:20:24
Speaker
It's a coating that will not wash off.
00:20:28
Speaker
It forms a delicious barrier of edible material on the skin or peel of fruits and vegetables.
00:20:35
Speaker
I love delicious edible coating.
00:20:37
Speaker
Well, that sounds about as appetizing as a big plate of dirt or something.
00:20:44
Speaker
So if you see a sticker on your pear that reads APEEL, A-P-E-E-L, put it down, get a different pear, and find another store.
00:20:56
Speaker
Although anything endorsed by the World Economic Forum can't be all bad, let's all chant their magic phrase.
00:21:02
Speaker
Abracapasta.
00:21:04
Speaker
No, no, no, no.
00:21:05
Speaker
You will own nothing and be happy.
00:21:09
Speaker
Every week I find three things that are done right.
00:21:11
Speaker
They are called pro things.
00:21:13
Speaker
Here they are.
00:21:14
Speaker
Number one.
00:21:18
Speaker
Now, last week, I played part of a speech by Republican Missouri Senator Josh Hawley.
00:21:23
Speaker
Here's yet another clip from that speech calling out the globalists' New World Order Marxism at the Heritage Foundation's 50th Anniversary Leadership Summit.
00:21:31
Speaker
Take it away, Josh.
00:21:32
Speaker
And that brings me to the second part of my story.
00:21:35
Speaker
The growing threat from within.
00:21:38
Speaker
The great awokening.
00:21:40
Speaker
The Soviet Union lost the Cold War.
00:21:43
Speaker
Thank the Lord.
00:21:44
Speaker
But Marx, Karl Marx, no, Marx lived on.
00:21:48
Speaker
He lived on in the English departments and American universities.
00:21:52
Speaker
He lived on in the law schools of American faculty rooms.
00:21:57
Speaker
And in places like that, a new Marxist ideology took root.
00:22:03
Speaker
that trashed American society is fundamentally oppressive, systemically racist.
00:22:08
Speaker
You've heard this.
00:22:08
Speaker
It's all over the news now.
00:22:10
Speaker
It is the fashion of the Democrat Party.
00:22:13
Speaker
This new ideology began in American academia, but soon, over the course of years, spread everywhere.
00:22:19
Speaker
And I do mean everywhere, like a disease.
00:22:21
Speaker
First, the student radicals in the late 1960s, then faculty members, governance organizations.
00:22:27
Speaker
Now it's infected our businesses.
00:22:30
Speaker
our self-proclaimed elite class, our media certainly.
00:22:34
Speaker
Now, this virus found a welcome audience in those places because they revised Marx to suit their own ends.
00:22:40
Speaker
You don't hear a lot about fighting economic oppression from these people.
00:22:45
Speaker
No, no.
00:22:46
Speaker
This is about a cultural revolution.
00:22:49
Speaker
That's what the new Marxists are interested in.
00:22:52
Speaker
Fundamentally transforming American culture.
00:22:57
Speaker
They decided that Marx was only half right.
00:23:00
Speaker
Economics isn't destiny, they decided.
00:23:02
Speaker
No, actually, culture is destiny.
00:23:04
Speaker
That's what the new Marxists say.
00:23:06
Speaker
And they don't like American culture.
00:23:08
Speaker
They don't like our history, which they say is systemically racist.
00:23:12
Speaker
They don't like our institutions, which they say are too tethered to Christianity.
00:23:18
Speaker
They don't like the family.
00:23:19
Speaker
They don't like gender.
00:23:22
Speaker
They want to fundamentally transform this nation.
00:23:27
Speaker
The cultural Marxists are now in power.
00:23:31
Speaker
I don't have to tell you that.
00:23:32
Speaker
All you have to do is turn on your TV.
00:23:34
Speaker
All you have to do is cross the bridge into Washington, D.C.
00:23:37
Speaker
You'll see it everywhere.
00:23:40
Speaker
They run the Democrat Party.
00:23:42
Speaker
They run the Biden administration.
00:23:43
Speaker
Have you been watching who Joe Biden is nominating to be judges in this country?
00:23:47
Speaker
I mean, I sit on the Judiciary Committee.
00:23:49
Speaker
I have to tell you, judge after judge after judge.
00:23:52
Speaker
These are people nominated for lifetime appointments.
00:23:55
Speaker
Ask them what they think about this country.
00:23:58
Speaker
Look at what they have said about who we are, that our criminal justice system is corrupt to its foundations, that we are riddled through with racism as a nation.
00:24:07
Speaker
Now you can see and hear his full remarks on YouTube.
00:24:09
Speaker
Number two.
00:24:37
Speaker
In my opinion, I think people are seeing the EV hoax significantly faster than they saw the pandemic and COVID
Challenges with Electric Vehicles
00:24:44
Speaker
hoax.
00:24:44
Speaker
I saw this reposted by Zenta Oh Boy on Instagram, but later I found it everywhere.
00:24:50
Speaker
Listen to this audio of Andrew Boyle.
00:24:53
Speaker
He's the first vice chair of the American Trucking Association, speaking at a Senate Environment and Public Works hearing with Senator Kevin Kramer.
00:25:01
Speaker
He's a Republican from North Dakota about impacts of
00:25:05
Speaker
of the Biden administration's unprecedented push for widespread electric vehicle adoption, including its ever-stringent proposed vehicle emission standards.
00:25:16
Speaker
Here it comes.
00:25:16
Speaker
Just so we're clear on the scale of the issue, each electric vehicle battery for a heavy-duty truck weighs 8,000 pounds, and you need at least two of them.
00:25:26
Speaker
So we're talking the weight of, you know, four or five cars.
00:25:29
Speaker
And my friends and peers in the industry nationwide who have tried to make efforts to put in, say, hey, I'm going to convert a dozen forklifts to electric, or I want to tee up a facility for 30 electric trucks.
00:25:41
Speaker
There is no power.
00:25:42
Speaker
The utilities come back, the cities come back and say, is this some kind of joke?
00:25:46
Speaker
One friend tried to put in, in Illinois, a facility, tee it up for 30 trucks electrification.
00:25:52
Speaker
The city came back and said, this is some kind of joke.
00:25:54
Speaker
You're asking for more draw than the entire city requires.
00:25:58
Speaker
And just to give you an idea, 30, 50 trucks, that's like a 5, 6 megawatt application.
00:26:03
Speaker
The factory that makes the trucks is a 2 megawatt factory.
00:26:07
Speaker
Now, these are facts.
00:26:09
Speaker
You can't refute facts.
00:26:11
Speaker
Don't worry.
00:26:11
Speaker
China will provide and take away when they feel like it.
Wrap-up and Podcast Mission
00:26:17
Speaker
Number three.
00:26:22
Speaker
Now, last week I played an audio drop by a woman whose Instagram handle is at living life like Alex, and she was slash is fed up with men essentially replacing women in sports, in ads, and in life.
00:26:36
Speaker
Here comes Fox's Megyn Kelly, and she's equally fed up.
00:26:39
Speaker
When you say she, are you talking about a woman?
00:26:42
Speaker
Yes, she's a real woman.
00:26:44
Speaker
Play the clip.
00:26:45
Speaker
I started off being like, I understand, I have empathy for you.
00:26:49
Speaker
I will use your pronouns of choice.
00:26:51
Speaker
I'm not gonna say you're a woman, but you're a trans woman.
00:26:54
Speaker
And now I am realizing that all of those things are gateway drugs to the co-opting of female sports and the word female and the word woman and breastfeeding and childbearing and menstruation, all the things that are under solidly the list of what is a woman.
00:27:14
Speaker
And I'm really done.
00:27:16
Speaker
I'm done.
00:27:18
Speaker
There is no such thing as somebody who's born a biological man who is secretly a woman, who can become a woman.
00:27:24
Speaker
At best, you are a trans woman.
00:27:26
Speaker
And even that I'm wrestling with.
00:27:27
Speaker
I really am.
00:27:29
Speaker
I don't even really understand what that is.
00:27:30
Speaker
You're a trans person.
00:27:32
Speaker
You're really a biological man who's got some gender confusion issues, and my heart goes out to you.
00:27:36
Speaker
But you're not a woman.
00:27:37
Speaker
Dylan Mulvaney, you put on a dress.
00:27:40
Speaker
You take a bunch of estrogen to grow something that approximates baby breasts.
00:27:45
Speaker
I don't know what those are.
00:27:47
Speaker
That's not what a woman is.
00:27:48
Speaker
You'll never be a woman.
00:27:50
Speaker
You can have the surgery.
00:27:51
Speaker
Dylan says they're getting bottom surgery.
00:27:53
Speaker
Go ahead.
00:27:54
Speaker
Have your penis chopped off.
00:27:55
Speaker
You're still not a woman.
00:27:56
Speaker
Getting a surgeon to cut a hole down there doesn't make you a woman.
00:27:59
Speaker
You don't know the first thing about being a woman.
00:28:01
Speaker
You have no idea what the average woman has been through the course of her life, the challenges we have, the beauty of being a woman, the softness of being a woman.
00:28:08
Speaker
And you never will.
00:28:09
Speaker
You're never going to have it.
00:28:10
Speaker
Doesn't matter how many surgery, doesn't matter how many hormones.
00:28:12
Speaker
And I'm done engaging in this fiction, Paul.
00:28:15
Speaker
I'm done.
00:28:16
Speaker
I have empathy.
00:28:17
Speaker
I have compassion.
00:28:18
Speaker
But I am not willing to abandon truth in the name of sparing feelings.
00:28:25
Speaker
I know if I was a woman, I'd be fed up.
