Amateur Nation Podcast: Satirical Social Commentary
00:01:16
Speaker
Welcome to the show.
00:01:20
Speaker
Okay, let's all shut up, please.
00:01:21
Speaker
Warning.
00:01:22
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:27
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:01:34
Speaker
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.
00:01:45
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:46
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:49
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:51
Speaker
Everything is terrible.
00:01:53
Speaker
Only in Amateur Nation.
00:01:54
Speaker
On this show, we call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:58
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:02:01
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:02:02
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:05
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.
00:02:18
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:19
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:20
Speaker
Amateur Nation.
00:02:20
Speaker
It's not just a podcast.
00:02:22
Speaker
It's a movement.
Hot Topics: Immigration, Gender, and Advice
00:02:24
Speaker
And this is episode 269.
00:02:24
Speaker
Amateur Nation can be talked into anything.
00:02:30
Speaker
On today's episode, This Week in Illegal Alien Crap, my take on the how and why behind transgenderism, and an amateur has relationship advice that will set you free from common sense.
00:02:43
Speaker
Then we taste a little bit of everything in Amateur Nation during a la carte, and we close out the show on positive notes with three things that are done right on three pro things.
00:02:52
Speaker
As always, shouts out to ProNation first.
00:02:55
Speaker
Shouts out to Pamela Simpson and Rob Hendricks on Facebook.
00:02:59
Speaker
Lee Ames and Steve Jacques and Lawrence Grella on Instagram.
00:03:08
Speaker
Ever heard of Lysander Spooner?
00:03:10
Speaker
He lived from 1808 to 1887 and was a legal theorist, abolitionist, and radical individualist who started his own mail company in order to challenge the monopoly held by the U.S. government.
00:03:23
Speaker
He wrote on the constitutionality of slavery, natural law, trial by jury, intellectual property, paper currency, and banking.
00:03:31
Speaker
And here he is, in the quote of the week, speaking about the Second Amendment,
00:03:37
Speaker
He said this, to ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the law abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless.
00:03:52
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:03:55
Speaker
As we go a little something like this, hit it.
00:03:57
Speaker
Step one.
00:03:59
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:00
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:00
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:03
Speaker
It's time for... This Week in Illegal... What the fuck are you doing here?
00:04:07
Speaker
Alien crap.
00:04:12
Speaker
Illegal alien Darwin Andres Gomez Isquiel was arrested, again, and charged with robbery and petty larceny.
00:04:19
Speaker
He was part of a group of illegals that attacked two NYPD officers in January and, of course, like a good New Yorker, was released without bail.
00:04:27
Speaker
Venezuelan illegal Renzo Mendoza-Montez raped a 14-year-old girl in Virginia and is actually being charged with sexual assault of a minor.
00:04:36
Speaker
And Honduran illegal Angel Matias Castellanos-Oreana also raped a 14-year-old Louisiana girl and was arrested for first-degree rape, aggravated assault, and stabbing.
00:04:47
Speaker
And let's not forget Jamaican illegal Stephen Claude Radigan, who shot three D.C.
00:04:53
Speaker
cops in a 13-hour standoff,
00:04:55
Speaker
who were serving an arrest warrant for animal cruelty, and has had a record since 1995, and was previously deported in 2001.
00:05:08
Speaker
Man, these reports I throw in are racist, aren't they?
00:05:11
Speaker
There just aren't any white male Americans in the illegal immigrant border siege.
00:05:16
Speaker
My God, I can't even react bigger.
Controversial Bills: California's Home Loans and Crime Prevention
00:05:23
Speaker
According to Mind of Resistance on Instagram, 85,000 migrant children have gone missing from sponsors' homes in the U.S. after being placed there by President Coloring Book's government just since 2022.
00:05:43
Speaker
Time to join your local neighborhood watch program from the state of California, where food, health care, and now housing is virtually free for illegals.
00:05:52
Speaker
Legal Americans, you continue to suck it.
00:05:55
Speaker
Democrat Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula recently introduced Assembly Bill 1840 to extend a first-time homebuyer loan program to illegal aliens where, ready for this, in an absolute direct slap in the face of legal tax-paying American citizens, and especially Californians, illegal aliens will get interest-free home mortgage loans under a new California bill.
00:06:18
Speaker
If the bill becomes law, illegal aliens will be eligible for a new program that offers a loan worth 20% of the purchase price of the residential property.
00:06:27
Speaker
There are no monthly payments and no interest accrues on the loan.
00:06:31
Speaker
Rather, the loan is paid back when the borrower refinances or sells the property.
00:06:38
Speaker
The borrower will have to pay back the original loan plus 20% increase in the value of the property.
00:06:44
Speaker
Hmm.
00:06:46
Speaker
Maybe the illegals can save up their $2,000 a month and cash in their debit cards to make the payments.
00:06:52
Speaker
Honey, have you met the new neighbors, the MS-13s?
00:06:54
Speaker
California is asshole.
00:06:56
Speaker
What have I been saying?
00:06:57
Speaker
Gee, I wonder if these illegals will default on their payments so the government can swoop in and claim property rights.
00:07:05
Speaker
Genius.
00:07:10
Speaker
Sidebar, speaking of California, in an unparalleled, obvious scumbag move, California Emperor Gavin Newsom recently said that Panera Bread was exempt from the $20 minimum wage law because, ready?
00:07:26
Speaker
They make their own bread.
00:07:28
Speaker
So I guess all mom and pop bakeries are exempt.
00:07:31
Speaker
And pizza joints, since they make their own dough.
00:07:34
Speaker
And any restaurant that makes their own stuff in-house.
00:07:37
Speaker
But wait, there's more!
00:07:39
Speaker
In typical, whoops, I got caught, amateur nation fashion, Newsom changed his mind after it was revealed that Newsom's relationship with Greg Flynn, a billionaire and longtime donor who has two dozen Panera Bread locations of the Golden State, may have been the reason the exemption was included.
00:07:58
Speaker
By the way, if he were to give special consideration against the $20 minimum wage law for his friend and donor, isn't that like admitting that the $20 minimum wage law is excessive?
00:08:16
Speaker
Answer, yes.
00:08:21
Speaker
Sidebar to the sidebar.
00:08:23
Speaker
Speaking of California and crime, in San Francisco, they want to pay criminals not to shoot people.
00:08:31
Speaker
Instead of me giving you details at an anger-driven stroke, let's just let the local NBC News affiliate reporter tell you.
00:08:38
Speaker
Warning, it's going to piss you off.
00:08:40
Speaker
Yes, the chosen ambassadors will be paid not to shoot people, believe it or not.
00:08:44
Speaker
The city is launching the pilot program in October.
00:08:48
Speaker
Hey, Mad Dog, I heard you're leaving the life for good.
00:08:51
Speaker
Word, I'm a chosen ambassador now.
00:08:54
Speaker
Paying people $300 a month to not commit crimes.
00:08:59
Speaker
Remember when you got your $300 bonus check from the government for that month you didn't commit crime?
00:09:04
Speaker
I could use an extra $3,600 a year as my crime-free bonus.
00:09:09
Speaker
Also, I wonder if the criminals will have to pay taxes on that $300 monthly bonus.
00:09:15
Speaker
I'm sure they'll fill out all the necessary paperwork.
00:09:18
Speaker
The goal is to reduce gun violence.
00:09:20
Speaker
It will start with 10 people who want to change their lives and become community ambassadors.
00:09:25
Speaker
People who are known to commit crimes to the point that the city reaches out to them due to the notoriety of their criminal past don't change their lives for $300 a month.
00:09:37
Speaker
What you've done is now given criminals a $300 bonus to behave on the honor system.
00:09:45
Speaker
Criminals are known for their honor.
00:09:47
Speaker
Participants will have to pass an interview.
00:09:50
Speaker
Hey, Mad Dog, let's roll.
00:09:52
Speaker
We got to drive by a murder and a robbery on the schedule today.
00:09:55
Speaker
I can't.
00:09:56
Speaker
My ambassador interview is today.
00:09:58
Speaker
I can't be late.
00:09:58
Speaker
The Human Rights Commission says the idea has been shown to be a cost-effective way to reduce gun crimes in other cities.
00:10:06
Speaker
No, it hasn't.
00:10:07
Speaker
And now this.
Identity and Society: Unconventional Perspectives
00:10:09
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:10:10
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:10:13
Speaker
We have a nominee for worst mom ever going to this amateur who says her son identifies as a cat.
00:10:23
Speaker
How old is the son?
00:10:24
Speaker
Does it matter?
00:10:26
Speaker
Listen to this parental embarrassment.
00:10:27
Speaker
Some does identify as a cat, but I cannot take him to a vet because I tried that and the veterinarian told me that because he has human anatomy, that he does not know how to work on him or diagnose him with anything.
00:10:43
Speaker
And he legally cannot.
00:10:44
Speaker
So, and while I do think that is a form of discrimination...
00:10:49
Speaker
Or it could be a form of common sense.
00:10:52
Speaker
I identify as a car.
00:10:53
Speaker
Time to see the mechanic.
00:10:54
Speaker
I identify as a flower.
00:10:56
Speaker
I need a botanist.
00:10:57
Speaker
Stat.
00:10:58
Speaker
Because, you know, my son, if he says he's a cat, he is a cat.
00:11:03
Speaker
Good thing he didn't say he was your parent.
00:11:06
Speaker
I guess you'd have to be his child now, which might be a better plan for this boy.
00:11:11
Speaker
Um...
00:11:12
Speaker
And he needs to be treated like one, you know?
00:11:15
Speaker
But I'm not going to press charges because I know that he could lose his license if he did work on my son.
00:11:25
Speaker
I'm still thinking this might be a troll.
00:11:27
Speaker
But in Amateur Nation, if this woman is a troll, she merely beat some amateur to the punch and stole his, her, or they's thunder.
00:11:34
Speaker
You gotta love her priority is not suing.
00:11:38
Speaker
the veterinarian, and less priority about her son's mental health.
00:11:44
Speaker
Again, we don't know her boy's age, but I'm guessing he's little, in which case we can pass that off as childlike imagination.
00:11:51
Speaker
If he's anywhere north of what, six?
00:11:53
Speaker
Then time to see a psychologist.
00:11:55
Speaker
But more importantly, it clearly is the mother that has the severe mental illness, and she herself looks pretty young, so there has been plenty of time for her indoctrination.
00:12:06
Speaker
I wonder what liberal college, I mean, what college she attended.
00:12:09
Speaker
So, um...
00:12:10
Speaker
I'm not going to try to sue him or anything, so don't worry.
00:12:14
Speaker
But this is something that I want to raise awareness on because I do think that people that identify as an animal should be able to go to the vet.
00:12:23
Speaker
You know, that's the medical attention that they're wanting.
00:12:35
Speaker
Let me be clear.
00:12:37
Speaker
This is not me saying that transgender people are bad people.
00:12:41
Speaker
Of course not.
00:12:42
Speaker
But we need to ask ourselves, how did we go from the anomaly of that person who felt like they were born in the wrong body to more and more people jumping on the bandwagon?
00:12:56
Speaker
You're telling me that many people feel wrong in their bodies?
00:13:03
Speaker
Nature and biology got it wrong with that many people?
00:13:08
Speaker
Let's say a certain percentage of transgender people are due to trendiness.
00:13:11
Speaker
For example, the awkward teenage years of not fitting in.
00:13:15
Speaker
Another percentage is the need for attention.
00:13:17
Speaker
And a very, very small percentage is the anomaly of people actually experiencing the physiological, mental, emotional, and physical wrong that they were born in the wrong body.
00:13:30
Speaker
Am I supposed to believe that even 0.1 of 1% of America's population feels like they were born in the wrong body?
00:13:39
Speaker
Really?
00:13:40
Speaker
All of a sudden?
00:13:42
Speaker
Or is it suddenly everyone feels comfortable enough to admit that they don't feel right?
00:13:50
Speaker
I ain't buying it.
00:13:51
Speaker
Just because you mutilate, disfigure, and poison your body or mind or even went all the way with sexual reassignment surgery, I'm not buying it.
00:14:00
Speaker
For all those others who fall into the other percentages that are not legitimate transgender cases, we need to ask ourselves, what's causing this?
00:14:11
Speaker
Trendiness is too easy of an answer.
00:14:14
Speaker
It clearly is a chemical issue in the brain.
00:14:19
Speaker
So the biggest question is, what is causing this chemical imbalance, this mental illness?
00:14:25
Speaker
Is it something in our food?
00:14:27
Speaker
Is there a common denominator in an ingredient that
00:14:32
Speaker
Is there a common denominator in the people's genetics?
00:14:36
Speaker
Is there something based on cities with the most cases?
00:14:39
Speaker
Something in the water?
00:14:40
Speaker
A common prescription medication?
00:14:43
Speaker
Is it a side effect from a prescription medication?
00:14:47
Speaker
All of a sudden, in the last five years or so, people are just, nah, I'm ignoring what's between my legs and doing my own thing.
00:14:54
Speaker
I ain't buying it.
00:14:56
Speaker
I truly hope I'm alive long enough to see how this all plays out.
00:14:59
Speaker
I don't want to be right, but I don't see it ending happily for these amateurs who simply think piercings, tats, crazy hair colors and styles and all forms of disfigurement in the name of attention will give them a happy, fulfilled, long, healthy life.
00:15:14
Speaker
Do you know any elderly transgender people?
00:15:18
Speaker
Elderly transgender people who have been transitioned for most of their adult lives?
00:15:22
Speaker
And if you answered, well, Lou, transgenderism is a new thing.
00:15:25
Speaker
We haven't had enough time to see how it plays out.
00:15:28
Speaker
Yeah, this from the people who say Jesus was trans.
00:15:34

00:17:33
Speaker
Back to you, fuckers.
00:17:35
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:17:37
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:17:38
Speaker
Hit me!
00:17:42
Speaker
Ever been cheated on?
00:17:44
Speaker
Had your heart ripped out?
00:17:46
Speaker
Been ghosted?
00:17:47
Speaker
Maybe you caught your significant other in the act of cheating.
00:17:51
Speaker
Well, move over, Kane from Kung Fu.
00:17:54
Speaker
Same goes for you, Confucius, and all you relationship experts out there.
00:17:58
Speaker
This unqualified, uneducated, unaccredited amateur has some sage advice that she just made up on the fly while in nature.
00:18:06
Speaker
This piece of wisdom will set you free right here, realizing that no one can cheat on the internet.
00:18:16
Speaker
So my ex wasn't a lying, cheating, devious, soulless scumbag?
00:18:20
Speaker
Well, that's a relief.
00:18:21
Speaker
It's about understanding that you have no possession over nobody.
00:18:26
Speaker
Nobody belongs to you.
00:18:28
Speaker
And once you realize this, this will simply set you free.
00:18:34
Speaker
We as humans be choosing bondage.
00:18:36
Speaker
We be choosing slavery.
00:18:40
Speaker
No possession over nobody.
00:18:42
Speaker
Someone please explain double negatives to this nitwit.
00:18:45
Speaker
Pro tip, never take advice from anyone who speaks with we be and a plethora of double negatives.
00:18:51
Speaker
Because we don't realize that we have a choice of our own freedom and our own awareness of realizing that, dang, man, nobody belongs to me.
00:19:02
Speaker
Okay, that's beyond dumb.
00:19:04
Speaker
Why did you stay in that unhealthy, abusive, cheating relationship?
00:19:08
Speaker
I didn't know I had a choice.
00:19:09
Speaker
I was forced to date and or marry that person.
00:19:13
Speaker
Asinine.
00:19:14
Speaker
This woman has solved relationships.
00:19:17
Speaker
Like a fucking amateur.
00:19:18
Speaker
Well, at least for her cheating self, she's your get-out-of-jail-free card of relationships.
00:19:23
Speaker
Only amateurs would equate an honest, monogamous relationship to slavery.
00:19:27
Speaker
Sounds like someone did some cheating and never take advice from an illiterate.
00:19:32
Speaker
Sure, I could point out that she looks to be in her 20s and her mind may and probably will change about meeting one person to be with whether it's via marriage or just a monogamous relationship.
00:19:42
Speaker
I'm not married and I'm 56, but I have been engaged and been in plenty of long-term monogamous relationships and never once did I look at my relationships as they were happening as slavery and bondage.
00:19:54
Speaker
Look, I was happy to get out of the bad ones, of course, and the second I would feel suffocated, I'd leave the bad situation.
00:20:00
Speaker
Oh, I almost forgot to ask.
00:20:03
Speaker
Did that piece of wisdom that she gave set you free?
00:20:06
Speaker
Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
00:20:17
Speaker
I can eat a few more bites.
00:20:18
Speaker
It's time for a la carte.
00:20:19
Speaker
Here we go.
00:20:22
Speaker
So let me get this straight.
00:20:23
Speaker
Pronouns, sexuality, and identity-obsessed amateur nation.
00:20:26
Speaker
You can be anything you want, but I can't say anything I want.
00:20:34
Speaker
Got it.
00:20:36
Speaker
According to the head of the IRS, the nation's millionaires and billionaires are evading more than $150 billion in taxes.
00:20:43
Speaker
But if you make over $600 on Etsy or eBay, cough it up, American middle-class scum.
00:20:48
Speaker
You illegals?
00:20:49
Speaker
Relax, don't worry about it.
00:20:52
Speaker
I say it again, having your cell phone listen in on your conversations and viewing you through your camera should be 100% illegal.
00:20:59
Speaker
We are literally carrying around a surveillance system that we did not approve and we paid for it.
00:21:05
Speaker
A lot.
00:21:06
Speaker
I'd ask why President Coloring Book's government doesn't do something about this invasion of privacy, but he hasn't stopped a border invasion either.
00:21:13
Speaker
Why would he stop this?
00:21:16
Speaker
In New York, health officials are investigating whether there's a link between two new RSV vaccines and cases of a rare nervous system disorder in older U.S. adults.
Health Concerns: RSV Vaccines and Nervous Disorders
00:21:26
Speaker
The inquiry is based on fewer than two dozen cases seen among more than nine and a half million vaccine recipients.
00:21:32
Speaker
Here's the best part.
00:21:33
Speaker
The health officials say the available information is too limited to establish whether the shots cause the illnesses.
00:21:39
Speaker
Sure, but it's okay to shut down an entire state for two cases of COVID.
00:21:44
Speaker
I'm looking at you, Commie-Fornia.
00:21:47
Speaker
Look at Amateur Nation.
00:21:48
Speaker
Nikki, no really, I'm black.
00:21:50
Speaker
Haley won the DC primary, which is like being the tallest dwarf in the room.
00:21:58
Speaker
Time now for three things that are done right in this world.
00:22:01
Speaker
Three pro things.
00:22:02
Speaker
Here we go.
00:22:02
Speaker
Number one.
Justice Clarence Thomas: Admiration and Criticism
00:22:05
Speaker
Some may say it's odd to have a favorite Supreme Court justice, but considering what Clarence Thomas has endured, and not just recently, as it's seeming he's the only judge with any common sense, but also with that whole Anita Hill debacle back in the day.
00:22:18
Speaker
The man is a tower of strength, intelligence, and resilience.
00:22:22
Speaker
Who thought he was funny?
00:22:23
Speaker
Here he is speaking about racial inequality and judicial philosophy.
00:22:27
Speaker

00:22:30
Speaker
One of the things I'd say in response to the media is when they talk about, especially early on, about the way I did my job, I said, I will absolutely leave the court when I do my job as poorly as you do yours.
00:22:46
Speaker
And that was meant as a compliment, really.
00:22:51
Speaker
Number two.
00:22:55
Speaker
I'm notorious for writing letters to companies and heads of major companies and even local businesses when I get bad service and or products.
00:23:02
Speaker
And also when I get exceptionally good service and or products.
00:23:06
Speaker
Well, here comes a mic drop from comedian, SNL alum and movie star Rob Schneider.
Diversity in Aviation: Rob Schneider's Critique
00:23:11
Speaker
He recently performed stand-up near me in Northfield, Ohio.
00:23:14
Speaker
And here's a great post from Rob that pulls no punches.
00:23:17
Speaker
It's a post on X to United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby.
00:23:22
Speaker
Here it is.
00:23:22
Speaker
Listen to this.
00:23:23
Speaker
Dear Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines and drag queen practitioner, I know where this is going.
00:23:30
Speaker
I regret to inform you that I will no longer allow my family to fly on your airline as you have clearly placed diversity of pilot hiring above safety of passengers and crews.
00:23:40
Speaker
As evidenced by the near aviation catastrophe of United Airlines Boeing 777 Flight 1722 from Maui to San Francisco,
00:23:50
Speaker
on December 18th, 2023, where your diverse but incompetent flight crew didn't know which flaps were causing its near disastrous descent, coming within 750 feet of killing everyone aboard your United Airline.
00:24:04
Speaker
I cannot tell you how many United Airlines employees have personally thanked me for my valid criticism of your careless and life-threatening leadership.
00:24:13
Speaker
I look forward to your swift dismissal by United Airlines Board of Directors before your inane actions caused the deaths of hundreds of men, women, and children.
00:24:21
Speaker
After your inevitable firing, you can get back to your true passion, your drag queen performances.
00:24:26
Speaker
Sincerely yours, Rob Schneider, former United Airlines frequent flyer.
00:24:32
Speaker
And number three.
Patriotic Performances: Whitney Houston's 1991 Anthem
00:24:35
Speaker
How about we close with a healthy dose of patriotism?
00:24:37
Speaker
Here comes what many say was the best singing of the national anthem during the Super Bowl of all time, done by legend Whitney Houston.
00:24:45
Speaker
It was 1991, Giants vs. Bills, a legendary Super Bowl, and lo and behold, a black woman sings the national anthem pregame.
00:24:55
Speaker
No special anthem for any race or group.
00:24:58
Speaker
The national anthem always gets people fired up at sporting events, but this one is next level.
00:25:03
Speaker
I urge you to crank this up.
00:25:05
Speaker
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, what's so bright
00:25:32
Speaker
Who's brought strides and bright stars through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched were so
00:26:22
Speaker
Tell me.
00:27:15
Speaker
Goosebumps?
00:27:17
Speaker
Oh, me too.
00:27:19
Speaker
Pros, make your voice heard in some way every day.
00:27:22
Speaker
Don't tolerate amateurs and their America-last destructive behavior.
00:27:25
Speaker
Speak up, because 2024 is the year of the great resist.

00:28:05
Speaker
Everything is terrible!
00:28:06
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:28:11
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:28:12
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:28:14
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:28:17
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
00:28:19
Speaker
Stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.
