“2024: The Great RESIST"
49 Plays2 years ago
*THIS WEEK:*
- DINKS attempt to think.
- “We Transfer” is a bit wee WOKE.
- What Amateur Nation could (but won’t) learn from the Christmas classic, “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” OR—“Amateur Nation: YOU are ‘The Island of Misfit Toys’”.
*On “A la Carte”:* I reveal photos of Miche—I mean, Mike Obama when HE was pregnant! Oh, wait, they don’t exist, Angelina Jolie prolly did some bad stuff, and the idea of “cultural appropriation” is full-tilt boogie amateur.
*On “3 Pro Things”:* a TV show from the 70s hides the New World Order in plain sight, an expert reveals his “Most Hated Car of All Time”—here’s a hint, it’s NOT a combustible engine car, and a politician speaks out in support of “The Great RESIST”.

Welcome to the
Amateur Nation Concept
00:01:13
Speaker
show.
00:01:13
Speaker
Welcome to the show.
00:01:19
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.
00:01:52
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:55
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:57
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:59
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:01
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.
00:02:16
Speaker
Woo!
00:02:16
Speaker
All right.
00:02:17
Speaker
It's going to be that kind of party.
00:02:19
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:20
Speaker
Oh, hi, Lou.
00:02:20
Speaker
Amateur Nation.
00:02:21
Speaker
It's not just a podcast.
00:02:22
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:02:23
Speaker
The first show of 2024.
00:02:25
Speaker
This is episode 259, 2024.
00:02:25
Speaker
The Great Resist.
00:02:33
Speaker
On today's episode, Dink's attempt to think, we transfer is a bit we woke, and what amateur nation could but won't learn from the Christmas classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
00:02:43
Speaker
Then your first healthy brain food of the new year on a la carte, and loosen up your neck nodding in agreement with the fellow pros on three things that are done right on three pro things.

Political Critiques and the Great Resist
00:03:58
Speaker
Real quick, you know why attempting to remove Trump from the ballots is a complete scam?
00:04:04
Speaker
You know how you know?
00:04:05
Speaker
Because they would have done it first thing a long time ago, like 30 months ago.
00:04:12
Speaker
They know they're going to lose this real estate trial farce, so now this is happening.
00:04:16
Speaker
You watch.
00:04:16
Speaker
Next, they're going to try to make a law that you can't write in a candidate once this treasonous act doesn't work.
00:04:23
Speaker
And that leads us to...
00:04:26
Speaker
Your pro post of the week from Republican strategist Garrett Ventry.
00:04:31
Speaker
In regards to the recent ludicrous charges against real President Donald Trump, he said this.
00:04:37
Speaker
This is about stopping Donald Trump.
00:04:39
Speaker
They wait 30 months to bring charges against him.
00:04:43
Speaker
Now they want to fast track and bypass the appeals court and the Supreme Court saw right through it.
00:04:49
Speaker
You lose again, amateur nation.
00:04:53
Speaker
And finally, I was rewatching the short-lived series The Punisher with Jon Bernthal.
00:04:58
Speaker
There was a scene slash storyline where someone bombs a government building.
00:05:02
Speaker
Now I'm paraphrasing, but The Punisher says this.
00:05:05
Speaker
They think things like this, meaning acts of violence and terrorism, will make people do what they want.
00:05:12
Speaker
It won't.
00:05:13
Speaker
It only pisses people off.
00:05:15
Speaker
And they will fight back.
00:05:18
Speaker
This is what is needed.
00:05:21
Speaker
This year, for me, 2024 marks a great resist.
00:05:27
Speaker
And Pro Nation needs to be pissed off.
00:05:30
Speaker
This year, fellow pros, it's time to go on the offense.
Personal Choices on Marriage and Kids
00:05:35
Speaker
It's the first show of 2024.
00:05:37
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:05:39
Speaker
Now dig this.
00:05:40
Speaker
Step one.
00:05:41
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:05:44
Speaker
Let me start by saying that I have never been married.
00:05:47
Speaker
I have no kids.
00:05:48
Speaker
I have been engaged once and have had several long-term monogamous relationships.
00:05:52
Speaker
I'm currently in one, my last one.
00:05:55
Speaker
I'm certainly not anti-marriage, anti-monogamy, or anti-children.
00:05:59
Speaker
My reasons for not being married yet or having kids are simple.
00:06:03
Speaker
When it comes to marriage, I refuse to settle until I've found the right woman.
00:06:07
Speaker
I refuse to be rushed or bowed to societal pressure or because of some societal timeline.
00:06:12
Speaker
As for kids, I like kids, they like me, but it just never was a priority with me.
00:06:17
Speaker
I certainly never had kids or didn't get married to save money or other selfish reasons.
00:06:22
Speaker
Life is best when it's shared with a significant other, especially one with which you click.
00:06:27
Speaker
With which or with whom?
00:06:28
Speaker
With whom?
00:06:29
Speaker
I can honestly say the relationship I'm in now is the easiest relationship I've ever had, and that says something because I know I can be a handful.
00:06:37
Speaker
Every person simply has a different path with plenty of curves thrown at them that might delay the process, so to speak.
00:06:44
Speaker
And of course, despite many people's opinions, there is nothing wrong with not being married or having no kids.
00:06:49
Speaker
Everyone has their own reasons not to be married and reasons to get married.
00:06:54
Speaker
The same goes with not having or having children.
00:06:57
Speaker
But I digress.
00:06:58
Speaker
The reason I tell you this is to drive home the point that me being 56 and not married yet and having no kids shows how I'm not biased in any way when I talk about today's first topic of 2024.
Critique of DINK Lifestyle
00:07:10
Speaker
Dinks.
00:07:12
Speaker
No, not the synonym for nerd, geek, weenie, or dork.
00:07:15
Speaker
Dink is the new amateur nation acronym for dual income, no kids.
00:07:23
Speaker
As always with Amateur Nation, this issue, as I say in the intro to the show weekly, is the obnoxious, attention-whoring, self-entitled, judgmental attitude towards those who are married and or with children.
00:07:38
Speaker
sides engage in good-natured ribbing towards the other side now and then.
00:07:41
Speaker
Hell, a good chunk of stand-up comedy is devoted to single comedians making fun of the married people, married people making fun of the single people, and the single people making fun of their own singlehood, as well as the married comedians making fun of their own married lives.
00:07:55
Speaker
That's comedy.
00:07:57
Speaker
But listen to these two dinks in a short video trying to not only sell you, young millennial unmarried amateurs, on dink life, but also listen to their attitude.
00:08:09
Speaker
We're dinks.
00:08:10
Speaker
We get into snobby hobbies like skiing and golfing.
00:08:13
Speaker
No, you don't get into snobby hobbies like skiing and golfing.
00:08:17
Speaker
By definition, your millennial amateur nation generation is lazy.
00:08:21
Speaker
You live on your phones, play video games, and whatever time is left, it's making crying videos in the front seats of your Nissan Leeds.
00:08:30
Speaker
Don't shit on my cupcake and call it frosting.
00:08:32
Speaker
It's okay, you can say bullshit in here.
00:08:34
Speaker
We're dinks.
00:08:34
Speaker
We can go to Florida on a whim.
00:08:38
Speaker
You ain't going to Florida on a whim either.
00:08:41
Speaker
First of all, I thought you liberal amateurs hated Florida with all the conservatives and such.
00:08:46
Speaker
And say you do go to Florida.
00:08:48
Speaker
How often?
00:08:49
Speaker
To what cost?
00:08:50
Speaker
You're coming at this as if you have an endless supply of money just because you don't have kids.
00:08:57
Speaker
And sure, you're not married, but good luck not sharing expenses with your dual income partner.
00:09:03
Speaker
So your relationship is living together under the same room, not married, no kids, and the entire relationship is going Dutch?
00:09:12
Speaker
Oh, he's serious.
00:09:13
Speaker
We're dinks.
00:09:13
Speaker
We're already planning our European vacation next year.
00:09:17
Speaker
You're planning a European vacation next year?
00:09:20
Speaker
Man, it must be hard finding just the right youth hostel.
00:09:23
Speaker
By the way, where is this money coming from?
00:09:25
Speaker
You're not even 30 yet, so you clearly haven't hit your target income goal for a career as you're still finding your way with a job.
00:09:33
Speaker
Yes, of course there are exceptions.
00:09:35
Speaker
But as always, the exceptions prove the rules.
00:09:38
Speaker
I remember when I was in college.
00:09:39
Speaker
College that I paid for on my own by working two full-time and one part-time job for four and a half years.
00:09:45
Speaker
And I graduated with no debt.
00:09:47
Speaker
Unlike amateur nation that expects free education and every year...
00:09:54
Speaker
I wanted to go on spring break when I was in college.
00:09:57
Speaker
My two closest friends would plan every year with me looking up hotels, prices, budgeting money for food, airfare deals, car rentals, etc.
00:10:06
Speaker
Any way we could save a buck every year.
00:10:09
Speaker
And every year, the same thing would happen.
00:10:12
Speaker
We'd all agree that we should probably work extra at whatever jobs we had to get ahead of our finances for the next college semester.
00:10:19
Speaker
It ain't sexy, but it was reality.
00:10:21
Speaker
Thanks.
00:10:22
Speaker
We get a full eight hours of sleep and sometimes more.
00:10:26
Speaker
If your selling point not to have kids or get married is because you want eight full hours of sleep?
00:10:31
Speaker
That's for amateurs.
00:10:32
Speaker
Yes, I know parents of children don't get sleep while their child is an infant or a toddler.
00:10:37
Speaker
But some children do sleep through the night.
00:10:39
Speaker
And also, as parents, you should be anyway, sharing the responsibility with each other.
00:10:45
Speaker
By the way, this is directly at you, Amateur Nation of Dinks.
00:10:48
Speaker
Who are some people in business that you admire?
00:10:52
Speaker
Bill Gates?
00:10:53
Speaker
Mark Zuckerberg?
00:10:54
Speaker
Jeff Bezos?
00:10:56
Speaker
Maybe some successful businessman or businesswoman in your community.
00:10:59
Speaker
Okay, despite Gates's, Zuckerberg's, and Bezos's commie, tyrannical, monopolistic way of doing business, a question.
00:11:05
Speaker
Do you think they focused on...
00:11:07
Speaker
I got to get my eight hours of sleep per day.
00:11:10
Speaker
As they built their empires and successes, hell, they probably don't sleep eight hours a day now.
00:11:15
Speaker
Love him or hate him, real President Donald Trump sleeps around four hours per day, and he's 77.
00:11:21
Speaker
And his multi-billion dollar empire meant no alcohol or drugs ever also.
00:11:28
Speaker
And finally, if even one of the reasons you don't want to marriage your kids, and again, this is coming from someone who never married or nor had kids.
00:11:35
Speaker
If one of your reasons to not do what literally billions of couples have done throughout history successfully is I need my sleep, then you're a major amateur.
00:11:45
Speaker
We're dinks.
00:11:45
Speaker
We get desserts and appetizers at restaurants.
00:11:49
Speaker
Because you're denx, you get desserts and appetizers at restaurants.
00:11:53
Speaker
I'm sold.
00:11:54
Speaker
You're pathetic.
00:11:56
Speaker
Your reasons are short-sighted, immediate, have no long-term fulfillment, and are literally only about immediate self-gratification.
00:12:03
Speaker
I know, you're laughing right now, aren't you, amateurs?
00:12:06
Speaker
You're not going to live past a day, so what's the big deal?
00:12:09
Speaker
Until you're 90 and living in a pod eating bugs.
00:12:12
Speaker
Hey, I have my reasons to not have kids and they're my own, but I guarantee you someone asked me, why didn't you ever have kids, Lou?
00:12:18
Speaker
My answer wasn't, I wanted dessert instead.
00:12:21
Speaker
We're dinks.
00:12:22
Speaker
We can play with other kids and give them back.
00:12:26
Speaker
Okay, if you genuinely don't want or like children, I can see you saying we play with other people's kids and can give them back.
00:12:32
Speaker
Parenthood is hard, lifelong work, and is the biggest commitment you'll ever have.
00:12:38
Speaker
Oh, I see why you don't want it now, amateurs.
00:12:41
Speaker
Hey, parenthood really isn't for everyone.
00:12:44
Speaker
But again, not doing something is not the reason for not doing something.
00:12:47
Speaker
We're dinks.
00:12:48
Speaker
We still do it three times a week.
00:12:51
Speaker
You have sex three times a week?
00:12:53
Speaker
No way!
00:12:54
Speaker
That's got to be the best 90 total seconds of your week.
00:12:57
Speaker
Thanks.
00:12:57
Speaker
We spend our discretionary income on $8 latte.
00:13:02
Speaker
You're out and about, you're running low on energy, and you buy an $8 coffee?
00:13:06
Speaker
Okay.
00:13:07
Speaker
But as I mentioned in an episode just a few episodes back, millennials said they would spend $7 a day, a day, for coffee because of the joy it brings.
00:13:16
Speaker
If spending an average of $225 a month, plus tips, is living your best dink life, then you're quite pathetic.
00:13:25
Speaker
By the way, when your car breaks down or your toilet overflows and you need a plumber on Thanksgiving, you'll wish you had that $225.
00:13:33
Speaker
Okay, these all might be very good selling points to stay single and not have children, but I should point out that these two amateurs aren't even 30 yet.
00:13:42
Speaker
They're too short-sighted and stupid to realize, hey, we're going to get older, and our views, goals, needs, wants, and ideals just might change.
00:13:50
Speaker
But they don't, because amateurs don't see past the end of this sentence.
00:13:55
Speaker
It has to do with age, yes, but more to do with the stupidity of this millennial amateur generation.
00:14:01
Speaker
These people are yours.
00:14:02
Speaker
They're amateurs, and you know it.
00:14:04
Speaker
Also, amateur nation, if you're agreeing with them, keep in mind the main letter of the acronym DINK.
00:14:11
Speaker
D for dual income.
00:14:14
Speaker
You're assuming you can live this way solo.
00:14:16
Speaker
Have you not seen Bidenomics in action?
00:14:19
Speaker
Inflation?
00:14:20
Speaker
Cost of living?
00:14:21
Speaker
You're going to survive on your own dime?
00:14:23
Speaker
You are a shithead.
00:14:24
Speaker
Sure, you can live like this if you, like anyone who is not super wealthy, budgets their money.
00:14:30
Speaker
The word budget doesn't necessarily mean to do without or to cut back, but it does mean that you indeed have to spend carefully and with planning.
00:14:37
Speaker
So have your $8 daily latte, but something else will slip by the wayside.
00:14:43
Speaker
What are we even having this discussion for anyway?
00:14:45
Speaker
You want the government to provide free health care and education, right?
00:14:49
Speaker
Right.
00:14:49
Speaker
Only one problem with that.
00:14:51
Speaker
Most likely, since you're young, you won't need much health care until middle age.
00:14:55
Speaker
And you're done with your education.
00:14:57
Speaker
And that's when you've blown through your money, when you're in middle age and older.
00:15:00
Speaker
And after several bad relationships, you're still single and don't have that dual income.
00:15:06
Speaker
And what does free education matter to someone who is making so much money living the good life now anyway?
00:15:11
Speaker
Yeah, I'm brainy.
00:15:13
Speaker
Now, make a cute little TikTok video for non-dinks.
00:15:16
Speaker
You know, pros.
00:15:17
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:18
Speaker
We don't feel the need to announce our life choices to convince ourselves we're doing the right thing.
00:15:23
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:24
Speaker
We don't expect the world to do everything for us.
00:15:26
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:27
Speaker
We don't live only for ourselves and the immediate.
00:15:29
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:30
Speaker
We plan ahead.
00:15:31
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:32
Speaker
We aren't fragile.
00:15:33
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:34
Speaker
We aren't addicted to drugs and alcohol because we're unfulfilled.
00:15:37
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:38
Speaker
We aren't an embarrassment to our parents.
00:15:40
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:41
Speaker
We aren't poor.
00:15:42
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:43
Speaker
We aren't spending our evenings on Tinder looking for something better.
00:15:46
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:47
Speaker
We aren't living a life of regret.
00:15:49
Speaker
We're pros.
00:15:50
Speaker
Again, we don't feel the need to broadcast all of our feelings to reassure ourselves of how great our lives are for an audience.
00:15:58
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:16:00
Speaker
Topic number two.
Questioning Advertisements and AI Storytelling
00:16:03
Speaker
Ever use WeTransfer?
00:16:05
Speaker
It's like Dropbox, except it actually works.
00:16:08
Speaker
You can use it for free if you have exceptionally large files you need to transfer if your email server can't handle the workload, and then you can download the files independently.
00:16:17
Speaker
It's called WeTransfer.
00:16:19
Speaker
Anyway, while I was waiting for my files to transfer, these little...
00:16:24
Speaker
ads, for lack of a better word, were popping up.
00:16:27
Speaker
Virtue signaling WeTransfer's inclusive crap.
00:16:31
Speaker
Two caught my eye, and they're equally ridiculous.
00:16:35
Speaker
The first one read, and I quote, We, remember the company's name is WeTransfer, We present Zongbojang, Digital Heroes Fighting Global Warming, and it shows the stupidest, least effort ever put forth in creating art.
00:16:51
Speaker
Explain to me how creating digital art fights global warming.
00:16:57
Speaker
I demand specifics, Zongbo.
00:17:01
Speaker
Man, is it me or is the air really clear here and the temperature right in the sweet spot?
00:17:06
Speaker
Huh, you can thank Zongbo Jang for that one.
00:17:08
Speaker
Good old Zongbo.
00:17:10
Speaker
The Zongster took five minutes on his computer, most of the components made from petroleum products, and made some weird childish art.
00:17:17
Speaker
Breathe that clean air.
00:17:20
Speaker
Okay, well, that explains basically nothing.
00:17:22
Speaker
The next one, even stupider.
00:17:24
Speaker
We present Blake Wood using AI to create queer love stories.
00:17:31
Speaker
Well, finally, queer love stories not created by a real human.
00:17:35
Speaker
I mean, when it comes to stories, especially stories about love, I want a soulless electronic machine to do the storytelling.
00:17:44
Speaker
My busiest holiday corporate performing season continues through the end of January, but my performances, of course, go year-round.
00:17:51
Speaker
If your private fundraising or corporate event needs a professional emcee, offstage voice, or a comedian, I travel coast to coast and can work corporate clean or anything goes.

Speaker
A la carte and three pro things soon, but first, what amateur nation could, but won't, learn from the Christmas classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, on topic number three, next.
00:18:46
Speaker
The Honor and Remember flag is a nationally recognized symbol that sends a message of appreciation for the sacrifice made by our fallen heroes and their families.
00:18:57
Speaker
The flag flies at many NASCAR races around the country, and you can help honor our nation's fallen military members and remember the eternal sacrifice of their service by flying the flag, too.
00:19:09
Speaker
Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
00:19:16
Speaker
Together, we remember them all.
Comedy Special Promotion
00:19:20
Speaker
Hi pros, Lou Santini here, host of Amateur Nation.
00:19:23
Speaker
My Dry Bar Comedy Special, Amateur Nation, is now available.
00:19:27
Speaker
And just like this show, if you're allergic to a lack of common sense in today's world, and you like your comedy delivered with uncompromising talent like it is bite, then check out my half hour comedy special, Amateur Nation.
00:19:39
Speaker
Go to drybarcomedy.com slash Lou S. This is my way of saying thank you to the pros who listen to this show every week.
00:19:47
Speaker
Drybarcomedy.com slash Lou S. Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:19:56
Speaker
Who invited the stand-up comedian over here?
00:20:01
Speaker
All right, now step three.
Rudolph Story Criticism
00:20:03
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:20:07
Speaker
Over the Christmas holiday, my girlfriend and I watched the claymation Christmas classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
00:20:13
Speaker
She'd never seen it.
00:20:15
Speaker
Beautiful, innocent, charming story for children from 1964.
00:20:18
Speaker
You can view it on YouTube.
00:20:20
Speaker
Here's the description.
00:20:22
Speaker
Embark on a heartwarming journey to the North Pole with the beloved classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
00:20:27
Speaker
Witness Rudolph's inspiring tale of self-discovery, friendship, and the true meaning of Christmas.
00:20:33
Speaker
Not for Amateur Nation!
00:20:34
Speaker
Have you heard their take on it?
00:20:36
Speaker
It's promoting oppression, hate, and of course the new made-up verb that's sweeping the nation, othering.
00:20:41
Speaker
They treat Rudolph badly just because he's different, just because of his appearance.
00:20:47
Speaker
Well, Amateur Nation, if you watch the whole child's story, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and use some common sense, the story actually says two things.
00:20:57
Speaker
Number one, yeah, in life, you're gonna get judged, at first, by your appearance.
00:21:02
Speaker
And two, but if you prove your worth, your value, display good character, and despite your oppression, still find a way to treat others with patience and give them time to get to know your character and work ethic, then you can persevere and gain acceptance, and you'll be treated with common sense, good manners, and social skills, and your private life won't be under such strict scrutiny.
00:21:22
Speaker
I can do anything I want.
00:21:23
Speaker
See, that's the thing.
00:21:24
Speaker
Actually, no, you can't, amateur nation.
00:21:27
Speaker
It would be nice if the world worked that way, but here comes a truth bomb.
00:21:31
Speaker
Amateur nation, you are the island of misfit toys.
00:21:35
Speaker
You're going to be judged on your appearance.
00:21:39
Speaker
At first, that's called life.
00:21:42
Speaker
Now, it's up to you if you want to be respectful and respected members of society.
00:21:47
Speaker
Show some common sense, manners, and good social skills, and we in Pro Nation won't care about your piercings and purple hair.
00:21:53
Speaker
But the crying and whining and childishness on social media and in public stops now.
00:21:58
Speaker
Entitlement and laziness at expecting a handout stops now.
00:22:01
Speaker
Expecting us to care about what you do and who you have sex with and your imaginary genders, pronouns, and pretend games stop now.
00:22:09
Speaker
Enough with the weird for the sake of being weird.
00:22:12
Speaker
We've seen it.
00:22:13
Speaker
It's played.
00:22:15
Speaker
Amateur Nation, did it ever occur to you that the reason you think you're oppressed is because you're an actually weird, lazy, whiny, spoiled, hate-filled, violent, mentally ill, stupid, racist population of people?
00:22:27
Speaker
What, you're not weird?
00:22:28
Speaker
Explain the 87 hair colors that change weekly and the snake tattoo on your face.
00:22:33
Speaker
But not with that face.
00:22:34
Speaker
You're too ugly.
00:22:34
Speaker
You look like shit.
00:22:35
Speaker
Oh, you're not lazy?
00:22:37
Speaker
Why do you want the government to take care of all your needs?
00:22:40
Speaker
You're not violent?
00:22:41
Speaker
Every other day I see posts on social media of some amateur throwing a temper tantrum or a group peacefully protesting involving statues being destroyed and burning things.
00:22:50
Speaker
Oh what, you're not stupid?
00:22:52
Speaker
You think men can get pregnant despite not one video of a baby coming out of a man?
00:22:57
Speaker
Oh, you're not hate-filled and racist?
00:22:59
Speaker
Anyone who doesn't agree with you gets screamed at or canceled or called a fascist or a Nazi.
00:23:03
Speaker
Two words, white hate.
00:23:05
Speaker
If I oppressed you, if I oppressed your people somehow, I'll tell you what your problem is, you don't like me because you're a racist.
00:23:11
Speaker
Would you want to be friends with or be forced to understand or celebrate someone, anyone, who fits any of those descriptions?
00:23:20
Speaker
Amateur nation.
00:23:21
Speaker
Always sucking the life out of all innocents while still finding a way to whine and cry oppression.
00:23:33
Speaker
Our first look at the a la carte menu of 2024.
00:23:35
Speaker
Here we go.
Celebrities and Reverse Racism Debate
00:23:38
Speaker
Angelina Jolie says she might move to Cambodia because Hollywood is not a healthy place.
00:23:44
Speaker
Only took her 40-some years to figure that out.
00:23:46
Speaker
Have fun in Cambodia.
00:23:48
Speaker
Take Barbra Streisand, Cher, Whoopi, and Megan Rapinoe with you.
00:23:51
Speaker
By the way, she's not going to Cambodia.
00:23:54
Speaker
She's fleeing America because she probably did some really bad things and wants to avoid criminal charges.
00:24:00
Speaker
She's on the Epstein Island list, after all.
00:24:03
Speaker
All these celebs who adopted foreign kids are suspicious in my book.
00:24:07
Speaker
And all those that threatened to leave the country, the ones most vocal against America and real President Trump, did something bad.
00:24:15
Speaker
I mean, Rob Reiner is going out of his way not to defend Israel.
00:24:19
Speaker
Think about it.
00:24:20
Speaker
You got money, power, influence, and all your worldly possessions are in America.
00:24:24
Speaker
Announcing that you're leaving because of oppression by one man who you don't know, in this case, Donald Trump, just screams guilt.
00:24:33
Speaker
Sidebar, in retrospect, considering all the rumors and news of child trafficking and the threats of leaving the country if the Epstein client list is revealed, all these Hollywood elites who adopted kids from other countries are now suspect in my book.
00:24:46
Speaker
First up, Angelina Jolie.
00:24:47
Speaker
Children, I love children.
00:24:50
Speaker
Still waiting for any of you guys to email me a picture of Mike, I mean, Michelle Obama when she was pregnant.
00:24:55
Speaker
That's not photoshopped.
00:24:57
Speaker
I wouldn't enter her in any way that's unnatural.
00:24:59
Speaker
Let's be honest, Lou.
00:25:01
Speaker
Always!
00:25:02
Speaker
Here's one.
00:25:03
Speaker
There is no such thing as reverse racism.
00:25:05
Speaker
It's just racism.
00:25:07
Speaker
If you believe in reverse racism, then that means you think only whites can be racist.
00:25:12
Speaker
And by you saying that, you, yourself, are racist.
00:25:15
Speaker
You just called yourself out.
00:25:16
Speaker
You do realize that all this stuff, it's all bullshit, right?
00:25:19
Speaker
It's all made up.
00:25:20
Speaker
Gee, I wonder if letting tens of millions of illegals into America, giving them free housing, food, and money, allowing felons in New York to have a clean slate so they can vote, persecuting President Trump unjustly, not prosecuting President Coloring Book for proven treason, ignoring his bag man of his son's treasonous crimes, removing Trump from the ballot in Colorado, and the big one,
00:25:41
Speaker
The fact that no Democrat has announced his, her, they's candidacy is a way to gather more votes and is any kind of sign that this future election is already rigged?
00:25:52
Speaker
I'm sensing a little sarcasm.
00:25:54
Speaker
Got a Chevy Bolt?
00:25:55
Speaker
You know, one of the many EVs that are saving the planet one child slave at a time.
EV Market and Political Protests
00:26:00
Speaker
Well, Chevrolet has recalled 2017 through 2022 Chevy Bolt EVs and EUV vehicles because of defective batteries that had been linked to at least a dozen fires.
00:26:10
Speaker
Fuck!
00:26:11
Speaker
Even in the future, nothing works!
00:26:13
Speaker
For those brainwashed amateurs protesting in America and elsewhere, often violently for Hamas, let me get this straight.
00:26:20
Speaker
So you're threatening violence against the Jews in another country to stop the violence in another country.
00:26:27
Speaker
Why not just go to that country where the violence is and lend a hand if you're so tough and determined?
00:26:34
Speaker
Oh, that's right.
00:26:35
Speaker
You're too busy waving your Soros provided flag and hiding behind your masks.
00:26:39
Speaker
We're talking communists.
00:26:40
Speaker
The most irreprohensible perpetrators of social and economic oppression ever known to mankind.
00:26:46
Speaker
The Washington Post wants to eliminate the First Amendment to fight anti-Semitism.
00:26:52
Speaker
I guess all other forms of racism and hate speech won't be affected.
00:26:55
Speaker
Man, they really care about the Jewish people.
00:26:58
Speaker
Don't donate to a cause to support Israel.
00:27:00
Speaker
Don't come out and print an article about how you do support Israel.
00:27:03
Speaker
Just punish the entire country back to pre-Constitution tyranny instead.
00:27:07
Speaker
We got a thing called freedom of speech.
00:27:10
Speaker
And a man can say any dumbass thing he wants.
Cultural Appropriation Satire
00:27:13
Speaker
If it's cultural appropriation when a white person wears dreads, then it's cultural appropriation when a black woman straightens her hair.
00:27:21
Speaker
And only my fellow Italians can eat spaghetti.
00:27:23
Speaker
Oh, wait.
00:27:24
Speaker
The entire concept of cultural appropriation is amateur.
00:27:27
Speaker
Now, fuck off.
00:27:29
Speaker
Barbados, you know, that country everyone forgot existed, demands $4.9 trillion in reparations from former slave-owning countries in the United Kingdom.
00:27:41
Speaker
What the fuck do I care?
00:27:43
Speaker
Or what?
00:27:44
Speaker
All fear the powerful Barbados military-industrial complex.
00:27:52
Speaker
Our first three things that are done right of 2024.
00:27:55
Speaker
Three pro things.
00:27:57
Speaker
Here we go.
00:27:57
Speaker
This is number one.
00:28:07
Speaker
Okay, this first pro thing of the year has a creepy factor of 10.
00:28:11
Speaker
You're about to hear the New World Order hiding in plain sight.
00:28:14
Speaker
Not sure if you're old enough to remember the TV comedy from the 70s called Barney Miller.
00:28:19
Speaker
It was a comedy about New York detectives that took place in a New York precinct.
00:28:23
Speaker
The series ran from 1975 to 1982.
00:28:26
Speaker
Listen to this audio of a scene guest starring Jeffrey Tambor, most notably Hank from The Larry Sanders Show, as the criminal under arrest.
00:28:36
Speaker
and lead actor Hal Linden and Steve Landisberg.
00:28:40
Speaker
Landisberg's character has just brought in Jeffrey Tambor's character for disturbing the peace and destruction of private property and is under arrest.
00:28:48
Speaker
I wanted them to admit what they were doing.
00:28:55
Speaker
Who is they?
00:28:56
Speaker
He was in the office of the Trilateral Commission.
00:28:58
Speaker
What is the Trilateral Commission?
00:29:00
Speaker
It's an organization founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller to bring together business and political leaders.
00:29:07
Speaker
That's what they'd like us to believe.
00:29:10
Speaker
But you see, what they're really up to is a scheme to plant their own loyal members in positions of power in this country to work to erase
00:29:20
Speaker
national boundaries and create an international community and in time bring about a one world government with david rockefeller calling the shots uh he broke a globe and uh and some unicef artwork well they're in on it too i'm just i'm telling you our whole way of life as we know it is in jeopardy i appreciate that i have i have the documented evidence it's all in there show it conspiracy review
00:29:46
Speaker
Suppress Truth Roundup?
00:29:48
Speaker
The master plan is exposed.
00:29:51
Speaker
Would you like to hear the names of just a few of the people who have been on the Trilateral Commission?
00:29:56
Speaker
James Earl Carter.
00:29:57
Speaker
Look, Mr. Klein.
00:29:58
Speaker
Henry Kissinger.
00:29:59
Speaker
Mr. Klein and George Bush.
00:30:01
Speaker
Now, you remember at the convention, everybody thought it was going to be Ford for Veep.
00:30:06
Speaker
You know what happened?
00:30:07
Speaker
David Rockefeller just picked up a phone, put in a call.
00:30:10
Speaker
Hey, Ronnie, forget Jerry, it's George.
00:30:12
Speaker
No matter who won in November, they had their man in the White House.
00:30:17
Speaker
Are you through?
00:30:17
Speaker
Special thanks to AlertPro at PortraitSoul5.0 on Instagram for the post.
Environmental Solutions Critique
00:30:23
Speaker
And pro thing number two.
00:30:27
Speaker
It wouldn't be an episode if I went one without mentioning something about the failed high school science fair experiment that is the EV hoax.
00:30:34
Speaker
More experts coming at you, this time from Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear TV show fame.
00:30:39
Speaker
Presenting the car he hates the most.
00:30:42
Speaker
that I reserve a special level of hatred for is the Toyota Prius.
00:30:47
Speaker
Because that is a cynical marketing exercise for the gullible and the stupid.
00:30:51
Speaker
Because anybody who thinks that mining nickel in Canada and then shipping it across to Norway so it can be turned into batteries and then shipped on a tanker across to Japan and put into a car and then shipped back to America or Canada and is bought by idiots who arrived this morning on the underside of a Eurostar train so they can drive into people all over London because they haven't a clue where they're going.
00:31:12
Speaker
That is a moron.
00:31:13
Speaker
And anyone who buys one, likes one, appraises one in any way is a complete and utter imbecile.
00:31:18
Speaker
I believe that was a rant.
00:31:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:21
Speaker
It's an electric car and it's very good for the environment.
00:31:27
Speaker
And pro thing number three.
00:31:41
Speaker
The title of this episode is The Great Resist.
00:31:44
Speaker
Here is Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts speaking on the Senate floor, calling out New World Order evil supervillain Klaus Schwab and advocating for The Great Resist.
00:31:53
Speaker
Klaus Schwab's life by subscription, quote, is really serfdom.
00:31:59
Speaker
It's slavery.
00:32:01
Speaker
Billionaire globalist corporations will own everything.
00:32:04
Speaker
Homes, factories, farms, cars, furniture.
00:32:09
Speaker
And everyday citizens will rent what they need if their social credit score allows.
00:32:17
Speaker
The plan of the Great Reset is that you will die with nothing.
00:32:23
Speaker
To pull off this evil plan, Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum will need to take more than just material possessions from Australians.
00:32:31
Speaker
Senators in this very chamber today who support the Great Reset threaten our privacy, freedom and dignity.
00:32:40
Speaker
Yes, they're in this Senate chamber.
00:32:44
Speaker
One Nation vehemently opposes the Great Reset, the Digital Identity Bill, theft of agricultural land use, forcing farmers off their land, and all of the Great Reset.
00:32:53
Speaker
One Nation has a comprehensive plan to bring our beautiful country back to sustainable prosperity.
00:32:58
Speaker
And in the months ahead, we will be rolling that plan out.
00:33:02
Speaker
Instead of Lib Lab pushing Klaus Schwab's Great Reset with the tagline, you'll owe nothing and be happy, One Nation advocates the Great Resist.
00:33:13
Speaker
We stand for a world where individuals and communities have primacy over predatory globalist billionaires and their quizzling bureaucrats, politicians and mouthpiece media.
00:33:22
Speaker
All right, come on.
00:33:22
Speaker
It's the first show of 2024, the year of the Great Resist.
00:33:25
Speaker
Why not an example of the Great Resist?
00:33:28
Speaker
Here's a bonus pro thing.
Second Amendment Rights and Resistance
00:33:30
Speaker
Holton Township, Michigan, has established its own militia to protect the Second Amendment and declared it will not enforce new red flag laws restricting gun ownership.
00:33:41
Speaker
It doesn't mean they're roaming the streets.
00:33:43
Speaker
They simply passed a Second Amendment resolution and
00:33:46
Speaker
and establish the town of 2,500 people as a second amendment sanctuary.
00:33:51
Speaker
Holton residents can now sign up to their very own militia as long as you're 18 and older and can pass a background check.
00:33:58
Speaker
And for the amateurs who will undoubtedly snap with
00:34:01
Speaker
You can't just have citizens defending themselves.
00:34:03
Speaker
That's what the police are for.
00:34:05
Speaker
A, I thought you wanted to defund the police.
00:34:07
Speaker
And B, if the American government was on the side of law-abiding citizens and tax-paying citizens and actual citizens of America and protected them and not criminals and illegal immigrants, thereby doing their jobs, then American citizens wouldn't have to take these measures.
00:34:23
Speaker
That's why the Second Amendment exists.
00:34:26
Speaker
To protect yourselves from the bad guys and tyranny, whether it's someone trying to break into your home and take your stuff and harm you and or your loved ones, or a tyrannical, out-of-control government trying to do the same on a larger scale.
00:34:38
Speaker
Crime is crime.
00:34:40
Speaker
Tyranny is tyranny.
00:34:42
Speaker
Evil is evil.
00:34:43
Speaker
Whether it's one meth addict in a hoodie, a crowd of BLM peaceful protesters, or a government allowing communism to come in and take what you got because they say they know what's best for you.
00:34:52
Speaker
They're just idiots who've been given too much power.
00:34:55
Speaker
The government doesn't know what's best for you.
00:34:58
Speaker
You do.
00:34:59
Speaker
The hardworking, taxpaying, law-abiding citizens of America do.
00:35:03
Speaker
The pros do.
00:35:05
Speaker
It's 2024, the year of the great resist.
00:35:08

I'm ready to go pro.
