Introduction to 'Amateur Nation'
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 Lou Santini.
00:01:39
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:43
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:45
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:47
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:01:49
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.
00:02:05
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:05
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:06
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:02:08
Speaker
Let's have some action.
00:02:10
Speaker
Let's have some asses wiggling.
00:02:12
Speaker
I want some perfection.
00:02:15
Speaker
Yes, sir, Mr. Day.
00:02:16
Speaker
Action, absolutely.
00:02:18
Speaker
Perfection?
00:02:19
Speaker
Well, that's your call.
00:02:20
Speaker
This is episode 218.
00:02:21
Speaker
Not far right.
00:02:22
Speaker

Political Commentary and Critiques
00:03:15
Speaker
Not far right, right so far.
00:03:20
Speaker
Pronation.
00:03:21
Speaker
Has been right about Hunter Biden's laptop, false claims of Russian collusion, COVID origins, January 6th, and coming soon, Epstein's Island.
00:03:34
Speaker
Who in the media tricked you?
00:03:36
Speaker
Answer, all but Fox.
00:03:38
Speaker
Don't you love the knee-jerk reaction to people say they hate Fox News?
00:03:41
Speaker
Yeah, I get it.
00:03:42
Speaker
It's glitzy.
00:03:43
Speaker
It's very show-busy, like all mainstream media.
00:03:47
Speaker
And Fox can indeed be inflammatory, but they still bring visible, audible proof and facts to the table.
00:03:56
Speaker
There's a reason why Newsmax was removed from DirecTV and AT&T.
00:04:00
Speaker
Do you really think that's normal, legal, moral?
00:04:05
Speaker
Don't you think that's kind of suspicious, amateur nation?
00:04:09
Speaker
Time now for your post of the week by at LibertariansDP.
00:04:15
Speaker
How come the only animal, cow, that is marketed as dangerous for the climate is the one that provides perhaps the best source of proteins and fats?
00:04:24
Speaker
There is a reason why carnivores and others still mostly go to cows.
00:04:29
Speaker
Climate Nazis don't care about the farts and feces of any wild animals.
00:04:33
Speaker
Think about how many wild animals are out there just recklessly farting and pooping unchecked.
00:04:38
Speaker
Well, amateur nation?
00:04:40
Speaker
Well, we're waiting.
00:04:43
Speaker
Here's what's happening in amateur nation.
00:04:45
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:04:46
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:50
Speaker
Now, I told you last episode that I'd be covering the latest Chris Rock Netflix special.
00:04:54
Speaker
So let's get to work.
00:04:56
Speaker
Now, truthfully and oddly, as a comedian of 26 years, I had no plans to watch Rock's special until I saw the headline, Chris Rock torches wokeness, Meghan Markle, and Will Smith in Netflix special, don't fall into the woke trap.
00:05:12
Speaker
And as I said last week...
00:05:14
Speaker
Except the problem with that is that he fell into the woke trap when he hosted Saturday Night Live during the shutdowns, the plandemic, with his snide remarks, thoughts and prayers go out to the virus when Trump had COVID.
00:05:30
Speaker
I remember the look on his face as he said it and how he paused.
00:05:34
Speaker
before he said it.
00:05:35
Speaker
It was not a comedic pause.
00:05:37
Speaker
It was like he was thinking in that moment, should I say this?
00:05:40
Speaker
But you already did the setup, so now you got to finish the joke.
00:05:42
Speaker
Because he knew at that moment, he sold out.
00:05:46
Speaker
I thought Will Smith's bitch slap just may have snapped him out of it.
00:05:52
Speaker
And as I said last week, amateur nation has been allowed way too much leeway and wiggle room, and now we all pay for it.
00:05:59
Speaker
Rock should have at least taken a swing at Will Smith.
00:06:02
Speaker
I mean, he talked about it on his special how Will Smith is bigger than him.
00:06:05
Speaker
So what?
00:06:06
Speaker
He could have landed one.
00:06:08
Speaker
At the very least, shocked Will Smith into coherency.
00:06:12
Speaker
Let's see how far Will Smith was willing to go.
00:06:16
Speaker
That may have woken Will Smith up.
00:06:18
Speaker
And America.
00:06:20
Speaker
I don't care how small Chris Rock is to Will Smith.
00:06:23
Speaker
You just let someone bitch slap you on live national global television with no fight back?
00:06:32
Speaker
I know he was stunned.
00:06:33
Speaker
Fine, be stunned for a second, then chase that motherfucker down and land one.
00:06:37
Speaker
What kind of man is that?
00:06:39
Speaker
Rock could have gone to legendary status instantly.
00:06:44
Speaker
No one...
00:06:45
Speaker
would have blamed him for returning a punch.
00:06:49
Speaker
But instead it was, oh, he handled it with such class.
00:06:53
Speaker
And I get it, that he was caught off guard.
00:06:55
Speaker
Fine, get yourself composed, process the fact that you were assaulted on global TV, and then march out to the crowd and punch that motherfucker in the mouth.
00:07:04
Speaker
But here's the thing, because Rock never retaliated, I could see how many thought it was staged because of that.
00:07:11
Speaker
I was not one of them.
00:07:12
Speaker
I never said it was staged.
00:07:14
Speaker
I'm not saying Rock would have emerged victorious in that fight.
00:07:17
Speaker
I really don't think he would.
00:07:18
Speaker
But I also don't think it would have turned into a trading punches kind of brawl.
00:07:23
Speaker
But it would have sent a message called, hey, I don't take this lying down.
00:07:27
Speaker
I'm fighting back.
00:07:29
Speaker
I get it.
00:07:29
Speaker
He was taken by surprise.
00:07:31
Speaker
Okay, he was sucker punched.
00:07:32
Speaker
Rock defending himself then and there would have saved the nation some time and dialogue.
00:07:40
Speaker
And Chris Rock himself.
00:07:43
Speaker
And he still could have done jokes about it on his next Netflix special.
00:07:48
Speaker
But all I saw on Chris Rock's face, and of course, I could be wrong, is regret.
00:07:57
Speaker
So since he didn't fight back, I wish Chris Rock would just say these words.
00:08:03
Speaker
Fuck you, Will Smith, you little cuckolded bitch.
00:08:07
Speaker
That's the Chris Rock I know.
00:08:10
Speaker
So I saw the headline, became slightly hopeful, and I watched Chris Rock's special.
00:08:15
Speaker
Now let me be clear, I'm not saying I'm better or funnier than Chris Rock because I'm simply not.
00:08:21
Speaker
But six minutes in, and I know when I see a forced performance.
00:08:28
Speaker
Chris Rock was not relaxed.
00:08:30
Speaker
He just wasn't.
00:08:31
Speaker
He was not in a flow.
00:08:33
Speaker
He couldn't get into a flow.
00:08:36
Speaker
He might have been confident.
00:08:37
Speaker
I mean, come on, he did his job.
00:08:39
Speaker
But I mean, this is he was not the old Chris Rock confidence in your face.
00:08:44
Speaker
Cockshore swagger that I remember.
00:08:48
Speaker
He came out of the gate with disclaimers.
00:08:50
Speaker
The whole show smacked of trying too hard.
00:08:53
Speaker
He was simply nervous.
00:08:56
Speaker
Sorry, but Chris Rock didn't cover any new ground that I haven't been covering on this show for 217 episodes and counting.
00:09:04
Speaker
And he also falsely and presumptuously stated that white men think they're losing the country.
00:09:12
Speaker
White men don't think we're losing the country.
00:09:14
Speaker
What we would like is a unified country.
00:09:17
Speaker
What we don't want is to be celebrating every nimrod with a pulse just because of their color, their race, or their sexuality.
00:09:23
Speaker
I would say all sane people of every color think America is losing itself.
00:09:29
Speaker
Poor, uneducated minorities and the poor, uneducated white population and the sexually maligned, the people who are starved for attention that Chris Rock spoke of are hell-bent on destroying it.
00:09:43
Speaker
We don't have time to pay attention to you, amateur nation.
00:09:47
Speaker
We have a country to save.
00:09:48
Speaker
And if it's white men that speak up the most about it, so be it.
00:09:51
Speaker
You're welcome.
00:09:53
Speaker
For trying to save your lazy, worthless, entitled, uninformed, ignorant commie asses so you have a country to live in with freedom.
00:10:01
Speaker
Idiots.
00:10:02
Speaker
And boy, I bet he was feeling stupid talking about the January 6th insurrection now that we have seen with our own eyes something we've always known.
00:10:11
Speaker
It wasn't an insurrection.
00:10:13
Speaker
It was a few out-of-hand people who got a self-guided tour by police with no violence towards police, orchestrated by our current administration going all the way to the then Speaker of the House, Nancy.
00:10:24
Speaker
Hit me again, Pelosi.
00:10:26
Speaker
Chris Rock, you failed yet again, talking about the Capitol riots.
00:10:29
Speaker
You really should have waited to release the special until you saw those January 6th tapes.
00:10:36
Speaker
But it was more important for Chris Rock to do this pandering shit in a crowd full of people in Baltimore, a city that was ignored and neglected by the Democrat Party and has been for decades.
00:10:49
Speaker
It's been two years.
00:10:51
Speaker
And Baltimore is a bigger shithole than ever.
00:10:54
Speaker
But funny how the audience, filled with mostly oppressed black people in Baltimore, still have money for high-priced tickets to go watch Chris Rock.
00:11:01
Speaker
Maybe next time, try this performance in a red city.
00:11:05
Speaker
You know, Chris Rock used to be someone I respected.
00:11:07
Speaker
He knows he lost his way.
00:11:09
Speaker
He lost his edge.
00:11:10
Speaker
And now he is indeed pandering.
00:11:13
Speaker
He is trying to play both sides of the fence.
00:11:16
Speaker
All he does is complain about how white people run stuff.
00:11:19
Speaker
I'm sorry, do we not have an entire network devoted to black people?
00:11:22
Speaker
Studios?
00:11:23
Speaker
All black casts in movies and TV shows?
00:11:26
Speaker
He actually complained that there were no black couples on commercials.
00:11:30
Speaker
Saying it's only mixed race couples.
00:11:32
Speaker
I'm tired of being a victim.
00:11:34
Speaker
You'd think.
Race and Representation in Media
00:11:35
Speaker
But there it is.
00:11:37
Speaker
Folks, as someone who has auditioned for thousands of commercials and TV shows when I lived in LA, I don't think it's that hard to see that there are only so many commercials and so many TV shows that we can't represent every single race, color, and sexuality every single time.
00:11:54
Speaker
Products need to be sold.
00:11:56
Speaker
Stories need to be told the right way, accurately.
00:12:01
Speaker
Or so that they make sense.
00:12:02
Speaker
That's like saying, hey, you know what?
00:12:04
Speaker
I'm painting my house and I want every color on the Sherwin-Williams color palette represented.
00:12:10
Speaker
Great.
00:12:10
Speaker
Now your house looks like a kaleidoscope threw up and it has no defined style or motif or cohesiveness.
00:12:18
Speaker
But at least you treated all the colors equally.
00:12:23
Speaker
Are you that stupid amateur nation that you're only going to buy a product or service because a person of your race is in the commercial?
00:12:32
Speaker
If so, you're too stupid to be a consumer.
00:12:35
Speaker
You buy a product because it's good, reliable, available at a fair price, and does what it's supposed to do.
00:12:42
Speaker
Entire months are devoted to black people, gay people.
00:12:46
Speaker
Certain weeks and days are for minorities of various races and sexualities.
00:12:50
Speaker
We have parades.
00:12:51
Speaker
We're changing labels on products.
00:12:53
Speaker
They're tearing down statues, changing school names.
00:12:56
Speaker
And how is any of this changing the country for the better?
00:12:59
Speaker
What?
00:13:00
Speaker
White people get the entire year?
00:13:02
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:13:03
Speaker
Everyone gets the entire year.
00:13:08
Speaker
Don't think just because there's Black History Month and Women's History Month and Gay Weeks and Gay Pride Month, those kind of things, that the rest of the year, they just are oppressed.
00:13:17
Speaker
They get nothing.
00:13:18
Speaker
They have no freedoms.
00:13:19
Speaker
They can't get any goods and services.
00:13:22
Speaker
Just that month that celebrates their race or sexuality.
00:13:25
Speaker
All the riots and the protests.
00:13:27
Speaker
It was destruction for destruction's sake.
00:13:31
Speaker
Do you want to be a majority of your race or your sexuality?
00:13:34
Speaker
Great.
00:13:34
Speaker
Go to another smaller country.
00:13:37
Speaker
Otherwise, live here peaceably like sane pronation does.
00:13:41
Speaker
Chris Rock himself, by definition in the special, is playing the victim card and the oppressed card.
00:13:46
Speaker
I wish he would have done the special 10 years ago.
00:13:49
Speaker
Oh, actually, he did when he had balls.
00:13:51
Speaker
Not Will Smith's balls in his mouth.
00:13:54
Speaker
Talking about the Capitol riots, you really should have waited to release the special until you saw those January 6th tapes.
00:14:00
Speaker
Funny how there was no mention of Antifa or Black Lives Matter burning down cities, entire city blocks, private and public property, tearing down statues, looting, rioting, murdering that took place over the entire summer of 2021.
00:14:16
Speaker
He actually had the balls to say Republicans lie and Democrats leave out key pieces of the truth.
00:14:23
Speaker
That was a lie.
00:14:25
Speaker
Republicans have been right about, as I said, COVID origins, vaccine ineffectiveness, vaccine danger, voter fraud, censorship, election fraud.
00:14:35
Speaker
January 6th.
00:14:36
Speaker
Am I forgetting anything?
00:14:38
Speaker
Other highlights include him talking about the late Robert Kardashian being a friend to black history because he freed OJ, despite the fact that he killed two white people.
00:14:47
Speaker
And as Chris Rock put it, that's a special kind of black excellence.
00:14:52
Speaker
I'm not offended.
00:14:54
Speaker
Just noting how he plays both sides of the fence.
00:14:57
Speaker
So he's a proud black man preaching black power by dropping the N-word every chance he got to pander to the lowest common denominator in Baltimore while making the other races in the audience comfortable with it because he himself is a black man.
00:15:10
Speaker
It's a nice compromise.
00:15:12
Speaker
I thought it was a clever joke how he talked about the benefit of dating a trans person or having a trans person in the family saying that when you watch the game, they could read defenses.
00:15:22
Speaker
Don't trans people get pissed off about that?
00:15:25
Speaker
It's denying that they were a woman.
00:15:28
Speaker
But wait, no.
00:15:29
Speaker
Women can understand football, right?
00:15:31
Speaker
See how it all gets nice and muddy?
00:15:34
Speaker
It's offensive to trans men and biological women, but then again, it's all okay because Chris Rock said it, and he's black, which is a dumb reason for anyone to be allowed to say anything simply because of their color or sexuality or height or weight or lack of hair or any other reason.
00:15:48
Speaker
See, this is why it's called free speech, and it's for everyone.
00:15:53
Speaker
If you went to a store, and there's a sale, and it says, buy one, get one free, except for black or white people or Latin people or Asian people, all hell would break loose, and rightfully so.
00:16:05
Speaker
So let me be clear.
00:16:06
Speaker
I wasn't offended by anything he said.
00:16:07
Speaker
I'm a comedian.
00:16:08
Speaker
It's really hard to... I only get offended, as I said before, if you question my work ethic or my integrity or my loyalty.
00:16:15
Speaker
Me, personally.
00:16:17
Speaker
I was embarrassed.
00:16:19
Speaker
for the lackluster performance and his playing both sides of the fence.
00:16:23
Speaker
He seemed bored.
00:16:26
Speaker
I was.
00:16:27
Speaker
I only laughed twice.
00:16:29
Speaker
There was easily a five-minute stretch when the audience didn't even chuckle.
00:16:34
Speaker
This was not a five-minute setup with this big payoff at the end.
00:16:38
Speaker
I mean this.
00:16:39
Speaker
Watching Chris Rock's special actually put me in a bad mood because his performance, his material,
00:16:49
Speaker
disappointing.
00:16:51
Speaker
This could have been the best performance of his life.
00:16:56
Speaker
And I would, I like to say, well, I mean, he threw it together quickly in response to, it's been a year since Will Smith smacked him.
00:17:03
Speaker
And this is what the result is on stage.
00:17:07
Speaker
And it's because Will Smith broke him.
00:17:10
Speaker
And now
Colin Kaepernick and Identity
00:17:12
Speaker
this.
00:17:12
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:17:15
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Ungrateful Amateurs.
00:17:19
Speaker
Starring former NFL player Colin Kami Kaepernick.
00:17:22
Speaker
The child with a net worth of $20 million.
00:17:25
Speaker
Much of it thanks to Nike.
00:17:27
Speaker
Slogan, our child slave employees put blood, sweat, and tears into every pair we make.
00:17:32
Speaker
Recently, Colin Kaepernick was interviewed on CBS promoting his new graphic novel.
00:17:36
Speaker
Oh, that sounds about as appetizing as a big plate of dirt or something.
00:17:43
Speaker
And accused his white adoptive parents of perpetuating racism, calling his upbringing problematic.
00:17:50
Speaker
Here he is.
00:17:50
Speaker
Growing up, I was a dick, dick, dick, dick.
00:17:54
Speaker
I think still am a pretty introverted person.
00:17:57
Speaker
I hope it's true to form, and that's just kind of how I navigate the world.
00:18:00
Speaker
It's his true high school coming of age story.
00:18:03
Speaker
His journey embracing his blackness.
00:18:07
Speaker
Nice.
00:18:07
Speaker
Two buzzwords close together.
00:18:09
Speaker
Journey and blackness.
00:18:11
Speaker
Despite resistance from many, including his white adoptive parents.
00:18:16
Speaker
I know my parents love me, but there were still very problematic things that I went through.
00:18:22
Speaker
I think it was important to show that, no, this can happen in your own home and how we move forward collectively.
00:18:28
Speaker
Why don't the parents publicly defend themselves?
00:18:31
Speaker
I'm going with because honor.
00:18:35
Speaker
Because you don't throw your child under the bus.
00:18:38
Speaker
Even when they're adopted.
00:18:39
Speaker
Even when they slander you.
00:18:42
Speaker
Yeah, they're bad parents, all right.
00:18:43
Speaker
Ungrateful little bitches, aren't they?
00:18:45
Speaker
He sure is.
00:18:48
Speaker
And that brings me to this sidebar.
00:18:50
Speaker
Can we stop with the blackness and whiteness?
00:18:55
Speaker
If you're going to pander and lie and whine and complain and virtue signal and play the victim, at least make sense embracing his black skin color.
00:19:04
Speaker
In my opinion, the word whiteness is a passive-aggressive insult and insinuation of only negative aspects of white culture, whatever they may be, while blackness seems to be a backhanded complement to black culture.
00:19:22
Speaker
Your thoughts?
00:19:22
Speaker
Email me, lou at lou santini dot com.
00:19:26
Speaker
Yeah, Colin Kaepernick's parents really screwed up.
00:19:30
Speaker
You know, they only fed you, clothed you, sheltered you, and oh yeah, lest I forget, chose you, adopted you, put you in a position and or positions where you could even be a candidate for the most elite sport in America.
00:19:44

00:21:52
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:21:57
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:21:58
Speaker
Hit me!
00:22:02
Speaker
For the first time in a very long time, we have to fight for our country.
Political Engagement and Freedom
00:22:08
Speaker
I'm looking at people standing in line waiting to see Donald Trump speak in Iowa in freezing cold.
00:22:16
Speaker
There's not a lot of people that would do that.
00:22:18
Speaker
I know it seems like a lot of people.
00:22:19
Speaker
We had a huge crowd, yes.
00:22:21
Speaker
But in reality, it's not.
00:22:23
Speaker
And that's because we're busy.
00:22:24
Speaker
We're trying to keep our lights on, food in our fridges, and gas in our tanks.
00:22:28
Speaker
We're also getting despondent.
00:22:31
Speaker
A lot of people are like, what's the point?
00:22:32
Speaker
They're not going to fix anything.
00:22:34
Speaker
No one's going to be accountable.
00:22:35
Speaker
No one's going to jail.
00:22:37
Speaker
No one's getting executed for treason, as they should be.
00:22:41
Speaker
The politicians and corporations are so corrupt and so powerful, and they are.
00:22:45
Speaker
Not to mention the very real possibility of yet another fraudulent election.
00:22:50
Speaker
For the longest time, we lived a life of ease in the sense that we did not have to fight for our freedoms, at least not this much to this degree.
00:22:59
Speaker
We got complacent.
00:23:01
Speaker
And we liked it.
00:23:02
Speaker
And we miss it.
00:23:04
Speaker
And I miss it.
00:23:06
Speaker
And that's the way it should be.
00:23:09
Speaker
I'm not saying taking freedom for granted.
00:23:13
Speaker
But when you have the freedom that we used to have, you can relax.
00:23:18
Speaker
You can work harder.
00:23:20
Speaker
Knowing that your money is going farther.
00:23:23
Speaker
That you're providing for your family and you'll have something into retirement.
00:23:27
Speaker
And if there's a medical emergency, it's not going to bankrupt you.
00:23:31
Speaker
Now we're worried about eggs and gas and getting parts for something that's broken in our house and having that not take three months.
00:23:39
Speaker
I miss not worrying about freedom of speech and the right to protect myself and being canceled and what I have to say on stage and who I might offend and watching much better television and movies where grownups understood the difference between reality and a TV show.
00:23:59
Speaker
And it pisses me off that I have to wake up each morning literally thinking, how much closer are we to losing everything with food that I want and or can afford or losing capitalism or gas-powered cars?
00:24:12
Speaker
I feel like I'm racing the clock sometimes, like I have to get as much enjoyment in now before this administration really makes us a full-blown third-world country.
00:24:22
Speaker
And we are simply overrun in a short amount of time by communists because at that point, there's no turning back.
00:24:28
Speaker
That's war.
00:24:31
Speaker
We got to keep our guns and we got to stay vocal and we have to stand up for what's right, not what's popular.
00:24:40
Speaker
And by the way, it's not popular.
00:24:42
Speaker
It's merely what the mainstream media is perpetuating.
00:24:46
Speaker
To a bunch of pussified, weak-willed, highly emotional, lazy, entitled virtue signaling commies.
00:24:51
Speaker
If we lost everything, Amateur Nation would sell you out in a second for the chance to eat a cheeseburger in the front seat of a Dodge Challenger demon.
00:25:00
Speaker
Amateur Nation is not a nation of people with principles.
00:25:02
Speaker
They are a nation of people with complaints, causes, depression, anxiety, triggers, accusations, and feelings.
00:25:10
Speaker
So stay vocal and from now on, don't speak out with quiet dignity, but do it with loud clarity.
00:25:20
Speaker
Not talking about violence.
00:25:21
Speaker
I'm talking about calling out amateur nations bullshit at every level.
00:25:27
Speaker
Out politicians that work for you and amateurs in everyday life who are part of the bigger problem.
00:25:35
Speaker
Don't get complacent, pro-nation.
00:25:37
Speaker
Do not get complacent.
00:25:40
Speaker
We need to ride this out to 2024.
00:25:42
Speaker
And by the way, that should piss you off that we're on the hang in there course for four years so we can get our country back.
00:25:51
Speaker
So we can get to a point where we don't wake up worrying if we're going to have maybe an extra day of free speech or are we allowed to have a gun in the house or have a burger if we want it.
00:26:03
Speaker
It's normal to worry about, you know, money and your job security, your health, your family and your friends.
00:26:08
Speaker
You should never have to worry about losing freedoms.
00:26:13
Speaker
Not in the United States of fucking America.
00:26:16
Speaker
I have never needed a beer so bad in my entire life.
00:26:20
Speaker
Best I can do.
00:26:29
Speaker
All right, until the beer, let's eat off the a la carte menu, shall we?
00:26:35
Speaker
Regarding last week's topic of the hilarious movie Tropic Thunder being under fire for racism, per Alert Pro Keith Gilliland of Ohio, he says this, will the Weyand brothers be in trouble for their movie White Chicks?
00:26:50
Speaker
President Xi Jinping waited a month to help Americans in East Palestine.
00:26:55
Speaker
SVB Bank, next day bailout.
00:26:57
Speaker
bailing out a bank that donated $73,450,000 to BLM.
00:27:04
Speaker
Remember all the money BLM donated to the big cities with the largest population of poor black people like Baltimore, Detroit, Minneapolis, LA?
00:27:13
Speaker
Oh, dude, meeting's over.
00:27:15
Speaker
But wait, there's more.
00:27:17
Speaker
California Emperor Gavin Newsom lobbied the White House and Treasury of the Silicon Valley Bank without disclosing that his private wineries had been the bank's clients and he may have even had a personal account at the bank.
00:27:31
Speaker
But keep those businesses closed and your masks on, California, you bunch of suckers.
00:27:36
Speaker
California is asshole.
00:27:38
Speaker
What have I been saying?
00:27:39
Speaker
Again, give me examples of how technology in the last 15 years has made our lives easier.
00:27:46
Speaker
What, Grubhub?
00:27:47
Speaker
DoorDash?
00:27:48
Speaker
We already had food delivery.
00:27:50
Speaker
AI?
00:27:51
Speaker
Oh, goody.
00:27:52
Speaker
I can cook with two hands while asking what temperature do I need to set the oven on without touching a cookbook.
00:27:58
Speaker
Don't even get me started on medical technology.
00:28:00
Speaker
See COVID and the untested gene experiment.
00:28:04
Speaker
Electric cars have been proven to kill the planet and the child slaves that mine for your batteries.
00:28:09
Speaker
Not to mention batteries catch fire, we can't put those fires out, and we don't have a way to dispose of those batteries.
Technological Advancements and Social Issues
00:28:15
Speaker
Computers?
00:28:16
Speaker
Sure, if you don't mind having your privacy invaded.
00:28:18
Speaker
TV and movie streaming?
00:28:20
Speaker
You know, back in the day, if I wanted to turn on the TV, you'd pull the knob and twisted the knob to the correct channel.
00:28:25
Speaker
Two steps!
00:28:26
Speaker
Now it's make sure the Amazon Fire is on, hit a universal remote to turn the TV on, go to the home menu, then find the service I want to watch, wait while that little circle spins around and freezes up.
00:28:36
Speaker
Voila!
00:28:37
Speaker
30 minutes later, I'm watching the show that I forgot about.
00:28:40
Speaker
Oh, this just in.
00:28:41
Speaker
Time for a global war.
00:28:43
Speaker
I mean, climate change update.
00:28:45
Speaker
Mental patient Greta Thunberg has taken down a post about the world ending in 2023.
00:28:51
Speaker
I mean, how did the prophecy of a mentally ill, exploited non-scientist teenager not come true?
00:28:56
Speaker
How dare you?
00:28:57
Speaker
Yeah, well.
00:28:58
Speaker
Go fuck yourself.
00:28:59
Speaker
It's only March.
00:29:00
Speaker
There's still time.
00:29:01
Speaker
It's more of a conspiracy.
00:29:03
Speaker
The commie news network, CNN, recently had their worst ratings in nine years.
00:29:08
Speaker
This podcast now has higher ratings than CNN.
00:29:11
Speaker
Wait a minute.
00:29:12
Speaker
You're being sarcastic.
00:29:14
Speaker
Question.
00:29:15
Speaker
Who doesn't want to know who is on the Epstein Island child rate, I mean, client list?
00:29:22
Speaker
Answer.
00:29:23
Speaker
Anyone who is on it.
00:29:25
Speaker
Why wouldn't anyone want to know who, especially those in power, committed child rape?
00:29:32
Speaker
Well, overrated late-night talk show propaganda mouthpiece Jimmy Kimmel suggested Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a conspiracy theorist and has brain damage for wanting the Jeffrey Epstein client list out.
00:29:45
Speaker
He said, oh, it might be time to revisit that concussion protocol, Aaron.
00:29:49
Speaker
As half the nation said, tell me you're on the Jeffrey Epstein client list without telling me you're on the Jeffrey Epstein client list.
00:29:56
Speaker
That goes in my big book of so there.
00:29:59
Speaker
If you don't want to know who was on the Epstein client list, never speak to me again.
00:30:06
Speaker
Remember when Whoopi Goldberg was funny?
00:30:08
Speaker
I don't either.
00:30:09
Speaker
But I do remember when she was at least fun and not a cranky, bitter, unhappy, bloated commie.
00:30:16
Speaker
Kamala Sling Ride Harris has allowed her wife to speak.
00:30:20
Speaker
Listen to Douglas Emhoff not only speaking unconvincingly, but also not being able to even memorize two simple commie buzzwords put together.
00:30:30
Speaker
All right, play the Harris wife drop, please.
00:30:33
Speaker
Talk about masculinity for a moment.
00:30:35
Speaker
Has being second gentleman changed your own view of perceived gender roles or what it means to be a man?
00:30:45
Speaker
This is something I've thought about a lot, something I've spoken about a lot.
00:30:51
Speaker
No, you haven't.
00:30:51
Speaker
There's too much of toxicity.
00:30:55
Speaker
It's masculine toxicity.
00:30:58
Speaker
Oh, so close.
00:30:59
Speaker
Almost had it.
00:31:00
Speaker
Maybe he suffers from dyslexic masculinity.
00:31:03
Speaker
Or is it masculine dyslexia?
00:31:05
Speaker
Or toxic dyslexia?
00:31:07
Speaker
Nope, nope, I got it.
00:31:08
Speaker
Dyslexic toxicity.
00:31:10
Speaker
We've kind of confused what it means to be a man.
00:31:14
Speaker
We?
00:31:15
Speaker
No.
00:31:16
Speaker
You, girl.
00:31:18
Speaker
He's gay now.
00:31:19
Speaker
If that makes you feel any better.
00:31:20
Speaker
Keep him tucked back, Doug.
00:31:23
Speaker
And nothing to see here.
00:31:24
Speaker
Marilyn Mayer, who recently visited the White House, was busted on 56 child porn charges.
00:31:29
Speaker
I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.
00:31:32
Speaker
I wonder if it got started on TikTok.
00:31:37
Speaker
Three pro things that are done right.
00:31:39
Speaker
Here we go.
00:31:39
Speaker
Number one.
Cultural and Gender Appropriation Discussions
00:31:50
Speaker
You know, one of my all-time favorite actors is Kurt Russell.
00:31:52
Speaker
He's just one of those guys where even if the movie sucks, he's good.
00:31:56
Speaker
He's also an example of how a child actor doesn't have to be a train wreck into adulthood.
00:32:02
Speaker
I'm sure he and common-law wife Goldie Hawn have had their issues, but they're still together.
00:32:07
Speaker
I mean, Kurt's body of work, Tombstone, Escape from New York, Overboard, and my favorite role as Stuntman Mike in Death Proof, and so many others.
00:32:15
Speaker
Here he is amongst the cackling hens on The View.
00:32:19
Speaker
Why, I have no idea.
00:32:20
Speaker
But besides what he says about our Second Amendment, listen to the sigh, the exasperation in his voice as he talks about gun control.
00:32:29
Speaker
By the way, the last word that is cut off is existence.
00:32:32
Speaker
Take it, Stuntman Mike.
00:32:34
Speaker
My personal feeling is that there's a big difference between fantasy land and reality.
00:32:38
Speaker
Fantasy land is what we do.
00:32:39
Speaker
You're either writing something, writing a song, writing a book, doing a movie, doing a television show.
00:32:45
Speaker
That's fantasy land.
00:32:47
Speaker
And that's where that stuff belongs.
00:32:49
Speaker
In reality, when we're dealing with things like terrorism, whatnot, we're all going to have different opinions on how to do it, how to deal with it.
00:32:58
Speaker
Mine happens to be that I think there's a very strong reason founding fathers had for the Second Amendment.
00:33:05
Speaker
And that is that no government ever hasn't had to fight its own people and its own people hasn't had to fight its own government.
00:33:13
Speaker
We had our civil war.
00:33:16
Speaker
If that Second Amendment hadn't been there, those people would not have had the opportunity to do what they considered was defending their life, their way, their style of living.
00:33:26
Speaker
So I agree with that.
00:33:28
Speaker
I think that's an important part of our existence.
00:33:31
Speaker
Number two.
00:33:35
Speaker
How about this post from at free dot range dot mama underscore?
00:33:39
Speaker
Here we go.
00:33:40
Speaker
So having braids is cultural appropriation and wrong, but a man marching around with fake boobs, fishnets and synthetic hormones coursing through his veins isn't considered gender appropriation, nor should it bother women.
00:33:54
Speaker
She ain't wrong.
00:33:55
Speaker
Number three.
00:34:07
Speaker
Money donated to the poor by BLM.
00:34:11
Speaker
Zero.
00:34:12
Speaker
Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry, $2.75 million.
00:34:17
Speaker
I'll just read it directly from Instagram.
00:34:18
Speaker
Here we go.
00:34:19
Speaker
Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry is donating $2.75 million to older homeowners in Atlanta to help ensure that they're able to stay in their homes.
00:34:28
Speaker
A few weeks ago, Perry reached out to Atlanta Mayor Andrew Dickens about providing assistance for those residents on fixed incomes who could lose their homes as a result of rising real estate taxes, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
00:34:41
Speaker
Perry, ranked third among the world's highest paid entertainers by Forbes, and he's black, he's in the top three, is going to pay back the property taxes for 300 low-income seniors in Atlanta, the newspaper said.
00:34:55
Speaker
The assistance will cover city, county, and school taxes.
00:34:58
Speaker
Perry will also cover any increase in taxes over the next 20 years for 100 low-income older residents.
00:35:07
Speaker
He has already donated $750,000 for the first year to cover the back taxes and any increase in property taxes and has pledged $500,000 each year over the next four years to ensure the residents don't pay any more in such taxes.
00:35:24
Speaker
The funds will be administered by Invest Atlanta Partnership, the nonprofit wing of Atlanta's Economic Development Authority.
00:35:33
Speaker
It's official.
00:35:34
Speaker
Tyler Perry has done more for poor people than BLM by exactly $2.75 million.
