Content Warning and Introduction of 'Amateur Nation'
00:00:53
Speaker
Warning.
00:00:54
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:00:59
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:01:05
Speaker
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.
00:01:16
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:18
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:20
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:23
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:26
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:29
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:31
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:01:33
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention whoring, self-entitled, drama queen, victim types who chip away at the moments of your life due to no self-awareness, common sense, manners, or social skills and are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:01:48
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:01:48
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:01:49
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast.
00:01:51
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:01:52
Speaker
I used to have a penis.
00:01:54
Speaker
Okay, we'll get to that.
00:01:56
Speaker
This is episode 217.
00:01:59
Speaker
You sound vaccinated.
00:02:01
Speaker
Great title, huh?
00:02:03
Speaker
There's your quick and easy comeback for any amateur who spouts off with their commie nonsense.
00:02:07
Speaker
You're welcome.
00:02:08
Speaker
Hey,
Podcast Accolade and Ranking
00:02:09
Speaker

00:02:10
Speaker
This podcast is featured on the New York City Podcast Network and is currently ranked number five out of 850 podcasts.
00:02:19
Speaker
Amateur Nation just might be listening.
00:02:23
Speaker
And now your post of the week by one of my favorites at DC underscore Drano.
00:02:28
Speaker
He says, can we all agree that if World War III starts, this is the draft order?
00:02:34
Speaker
Number one.
00:02:35
Speaker
Every politician that voted to fund Ukraine.
00:02:39
Speaker
Second, every media anchor that supported the funding of Ukraine.
00:02:43
Speaker
Third, everyone with a Ukraine flag in their bio.
00:02:46
Speaker
Fourth, anyone who has ever tweeted, you're a Putin puppet.
00:02:50
Speaker
Fifth, every Hollywood celebrity that visited Zelensky in Kiev.
00:02:53
Speaker
And sixth, the families of everyone listed above.
Discussion on Transgender Women in Women's History
00:02:58
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:02:59
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:03:01
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:03:04
Speaker
How you doing, ladies of America?
00:03:07
Speaker
You feeling empowered?
00:03:08
Speaker
Appreciated?
00:03:10
Speaker
Strong?
00:03:11
Speaker
Feminine?
00:03:12
Speaker
Pretty?
00:03:14
Speaker
Well, I can understand why you wouldn't.
00:03:16
Speaker
Honestly, all this trans crap shoved down my throat the last year has me feeling more empathetic to women than ever.
00:03:21
Speaker
Despite this whole movement losing focus from treat everyone with dignity and respect, which makes sense, to move over, biological women, the men are here and we're doing you better than you can do you.
00:03:34
Speaker
In fact, if there was a slogan for the ladies, it would be women.
00:03:37
Speaker
So easy, a man can do it.
00:03:40
Speaker
Here are some of the more notable trans men in women's history lately.
00:03:44
Speaker
Of course, you have Leah Thomas breaking barriers for women as a man competing against collegiate female swimmers and nominated for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year.
00:03:54
Speaker
A trans man on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
00:03:57
Speaker
Dr. Rachel Levin, appointed as the Secretary of Health in USA Today's Woman of the Year.
00:04:04
Speaker
Dr. Jill Biden honored Alba Rueda, a trans man from Argentina, for National Women's Day.
00:04:13
Speaker
I mean, we couldn't even find one trans American woman at least.
00:04:16
Speaker
Yeah, pretty much.
Critique of Trans Activism Narrative
00:04:20
Speaker
And the most recent, Hershey's Chocolate has changed their name to He-She's as they recently appointed a trans man as the face of their Women's History Month campaign.
00:04:30
Speaker
His name is Faye Johnstone, and he's the executive director of Wisdom to Action.
00:04:36
Speaker
Or is it Action to Wisdom?
00:04:38
Speaker
Trust me, both mean nothing.
00:04:40
Speaker
They're pretty words in a row.
00:04:42
Speaker
Wow, executive director.
00:04:44
Speaker
That's like the highest level of director.
00:04:46
Speaker
My name is Faye Johnstone.
00:04:48
Speaker
I'm the executive director of Wisdom to Action.
00:04:50
Speaker
We can create a world where everyone is able to live in public space as their honest and authentic selves.
00:04:57
Speaker
See the woman changing how we see the future.
00:05:00
Speaker
I mean, to be the executive director of the imaginary organization slash propaganda house,
00:05:05
Speaker
What an accomplishment.
00:05:06
Speaker
I'd like to hear the story of the long-storied history of wisdom to action and hear the success stories of how they created the world where people can live in public space and live as their honest and authentic selves.
00:05:19
Speaker
By the way, create a world means interrupt, disrupt, and annoy the world we've all been content living in up to this time.
00:05:26
Speaker
Also, anyone and everyone can already live in public spaces in America.
00:05:30
Speaker
Just don't be an amateur and mind your own business.
00:05:33
Speaker
That goes for all people.
00:05:35
Speaker
Conduct yourselves with common sense, good manners, and social skills, and I assure you, your life will have fewer confrontations.
00:05:43
Speaker
act like an entitled amateur who's special and needs to be celebrated and plays the victim card simply because they're odd.
00:05:49
Speaker
Take a big step back and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!
00:05:54
Speaker
And most, not all, but most of you in Trans Amateur Nation are not being your honest and authentic selves, but rather are desperate for attention, fell for an embarrassing trend, and an even smaller percentage of those are using this as a way to sneak into women's locker rooms and beat them at sports.
Corporate Backlash and Historical Parallels
00:06:12
Speaker
A micro percentage of that group has the genetic dysmorphia when it comes to their sex and feeling like they were born in the wrong body.
00:06:19
Speaker
It's an insult.
00:06:20
Speaker
I took too much ecstasy in my 20s, so nothing makes me happy anymore.
00:06:24
Speaker
Hashtag boycott Hershey's trends on Twitter.
00:06:27
Speaker
When will companies learn?
00:06:30
Speaker
Disney, M&M's, Hershey's, go woke, go broke.
00:06:34
Speaker
By the way, remember the old...
00:06:35
Speaker
Virginia Slim's cigarette slogan, I know I'm older, but maybe you don't remember that.
00:06:40
Speaker
Their slogan was, you've come a long way, baby.
00:06:43
Speaker
Feel that way now, women?
00:06:44
Speaker
I tell you this much, men wouldn't put up with Elliot Page representing Budweiser.
00:06:50
Speaker
Calm down, ladies.
00:06:51
Speaker
I know women drink beer, too.
00:06:53
Speaker
Why do I apologize to pro-nation?
00:06:55
Speaker
They're grown-ups and don't need disclaimers.
00:06:57
Speaker
But I have to assume that I have the rogue amateur listening to this show who might be like a jittery, skittish squirrel and just might be considering going pro.
00:07:06
Speaker
So I have to pad things a little now and then so as not to frighten them off.
00:07:10
Speaker
I appreciate pro-nation's patience and not feeling pandered to.
00:07:15
Speaker
As alert pro and fan of the show Doug E. Fresh Kavanaugh of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania said, truth phobia is the problem these days, not transphobia.
00:07:25
Speaker
And he already received his free no amateurs tea.
00:07:28
Speaker
Hey, remember that 90-year-old trans man in our neighborhood said no one ever?
00:07:34
Speaker
Creepy sidebar, remember a few episodes back when I talked about former NBA great Dwayne Wade and his Robin Givens-esque husband-ruining-ability wife Gabrielle Union having a trans son, Zaya, that they are exploiting financially all the way to the bank?
00:07:49
Speaker
Well, Gabrielle Union Wade and Dwayne Wade were honored with the President's Awards at the 54th Annual NAACP Image Awards for their philanthropic work and vocal support of the LGBTQIA community.
00:08:03
Speaker
Good parenting!
00:08:04
Speaker
They get an award for grooming an underage, typically flighty and emotional child.
00:08:13
Speaker
This week in drag show creepiness.
00:08:16
Speaker
Here's a headline.
00:08:17
Speaker
The View rages over banning kids from drag shows.
00:08:23
Speaker
Do you not find that odd amateur nation?
00:08:27
Speaker
Would you be okay with your underage child having female strippers come dance for them?
00:08:32
Speaker
Be careful how you answer now.
00:08:34
Speaker
If you say yes, you're even a worse parent than before.
00:08:38
Speaker
And if you say no, then why are you okay with cross-dressing men dancing up on your child?
00:08:44
Speaker
And by the way, I know drag shows don't involve stripping and nudity, but there is absolutely a sexual component.
00:08:54
Speaker
Twerking and grinding.
00:08:56
Speaker
I actually heard someone say, women wear makeup, men wear makeup.
00:08:59
Speaker
What's the big deal?
00:09:00
Speaker
Do you want anyone grinding on or in front of your underage child in school for any reason, regardless of sexuality or their sex?
00:09:11
Speaker
You're actually saying children should be allowed to attend drag shows.
00:09:15
Speaker
Drag shows should be allowed to come into schools and entertain children.
00:09:19
Speaker
Forget the creepiness of it.
00:09:21
Speaker
Aren't you also concerned that your child should be learning something in school?
00:09:25
Speaker
Paid by your tax dollars?
00:09:27
Speaker
I know, amateurs.
00:09:29
Speaker
Oh, well.
00:09:30
Speaker
Why would a network morning daytime TV show have a topic where the hosts are mad that kids won't be exposed to any kind of any sexually and provocatively adult dancing in front of or on them?
00:09:47
Speaker
That's not a TV host ideology being pushed down your throats.
00:09:51
Speaker
nor the show's ideology, but rather the network, all the way to the top, introducing this subject.
00:09:59
Speaker
It's coming from the highest level.
00:10:01
Speaker
This is the message they want to send you parents, and worse, normalize it and get it to be okay for later.
00:10:10
Speaker
when the next egregious assault on America's children takes place, whatever that may be, child porn perhaps.
00:10:17
Speaker
Hey, if they say a child can determine their sex, their gender, their sexuality, and be exposed to straight or gay men who are drag queens in school, then how is it so hard for them to take the leap that children in porn is also okay?
00:10:35
Speaker
Boy, when that Epstein's Island list comes out,
00:10:39
Speaker
As at Ms.
00:10:40
Speaker
Blair White said on Twitter, no one had an issue with drag shows until you involved kids.
00:10:46
Speaker
No one had an issue with sex changes until you involved kids.
00:10:49
Speaker
It's not about LGBT rights.
00:10:51
Speaker
It's about children's rights.
00:10:55
Speaker
When the time comes when the laws finally get as strict as they should be to protect underage children from being used, sexually exploited, abused, manipulated, and being exposed to any kind of sexuality at too young of an age...
00:11:12
Speaker
Are you going to be vocal and insist that children should be exploited and their sexuality be compromised at a young age?
00:11:21
Speaker
Will you be fighting for that?
00:11:23
Speaker
I doubt it.
00:11:24
Speaker
So you're, what's the big deal?
00:11:26
Speaker
Now is a huge problem for me.
00:11:33
Speaker
I would like to read to you a very open and honest and revealing email I received from someone who, as I've recently discovered, is transsexual.
A Trans Perspective on Gender Theory
00:11:43
Speaker
This is someone that I have met and do know personally, but I wouldn't go so far as to say we're close friends.
00:11:48
Speaker
I think friends is thrown around a little casually these days.
00:11:52
Speaker
I know this person well enough to say that this person has a moral compass and treats others with common sense, good manners, and good social skills.
00:11:59
Speaker
Clearly, this person, who is a regular listener of this podcast, felt safe enough to message me this very personal reveal.
00:12:07
Speaker
And thus, this person, who shall remain nameless for the sake of privacy and who also gave written permission for me to use this email, as long as I don't divulge personal information, messaged me the following.
00:12:18
Speaker
Now, there's a slight warning here.
00:12:20
Speaker
There's some language that this person used that might be offensive to some.
00:12:25
Speaker
Here is the email word for word.
00:12:28
Speaker
Hey Lou, how are you doing?
00:12:29
Speaker
I've been listening to your podcast for a while now, and I guess I wanted to give you some feedback.
00:12:34
Speaker
I have noticed you have transitioned from observational humor to Republican talking points.
00:12:39
Speaker
Now, I am not a politically partisan person.
00:12:41
Speaker
I can't be because both sides hate me.
00:12:43
Speaker
But I have been following a lot of culture war people for a long time, and I certainly agree much more with the right-wing ones than the left.
00:12:51
Speaker
I definitely think that the woke communism that has taken over everything is destroying our country.
00:12:56
Speaker
It is making people hate each other and is making institutions crumble.
00:13:00
Speaker
It destroys art and it certainly destroys comedy.
00:13:05
Speaker
And I have spoken out against it to people whenever I have had the chance.
00:13:09
Speaker
This is true of the racial animosity at Stokes and also of the insane gender theory that says people can identify as anything they want and everyone around them has to respect it.
00:13:19
Speaker
The problem is, gender theory and transgenderism is not the same thing as transsexuality.
00:13:27
Speaker
Transgender is an ideology that says you can identify as whatever you want and do any body modification you want, no medical diagnosis needed.
00:13:37
Speaker
Transsexuals are people who are born with the brain of one sex and the body of the other.
00:13:43
Speaker
This is a birth defect, not a mental illness, but it does cause a type of depression called gender dysphoria.
00:13:49
Speaker
And I agree.
00:13:51
Speaker
Transgenderism was invented in the 1990s.
00:13:55
Speaker
Transsexuality goes back as far as human beings do.
00:13:59
Speaker
There was a Pope in the Middle Ages who was a transsexual man.
00:14:02
Speaker
There was a Roman Emperor who was a transsexual woman.
00:14:05
Speaker
And I am sorry if you feel I have tricked you in some way, but I too am transsexual.
00:14:10
Speaker
And by the way, if you are listening right now, I certainly don't feel tricked.
00:14:15
Speaker
This person goes on to say, This means I was born with a male brain and a female body, and I have done what I could to make my body match my brain to relieve the crippling depression that this has caused me.
00:14:27
Speaker
Now, I normally don't discuss my medical history with anyone.
00:14:29
Speaker
I even have close friends who don't know.
00:14:32
Speaker
Why am I telling you this?
00:14:34
Speaker
Because the talking points you repeat are not going to get people to go after these commie social activists who are trying to destroy gender so they can have their revolution and destroy society.
00:14:45
Speaker
They're going to get people to come after me.
00:14:49
Speaker
Most of the transgender activists are just wearing a costume that when the concentration camps are built, they can just take off and say they were never trans.
00:14:58
Speaker
I cannot do this, as you have seen.
00:14:59
Speaker
I look male.
00:15:01
Speaker
I have had surgeries and hormone replacement, so I am far easier for government bureaucracy to track down.
00:15:07
Speaker
Now, I don't blame you for speaking against them, because if the commies win this war, they will put you in the gulag for being a straight white male, and they will also put me in for being anti-woke or for looking like a straight white male.
00:15:20
Speaker
But in the off chance that the fascists win this culture war, I will be first in the concentration camp for being a tranny kike faggot.
00:15:29
Speaker
Also, I have a very long family history of this.
00:15:32
Speaker
I don't really have any advice for you.
00:15:34
Speaker
Maybe listen to people like Blair White, who have the more nuanced view on these political issues.
00:15:39
Speaker
But really, if either of the extremes win, we will be living in a World War III hellscape very soon.
00:15:45
Speaker
People are so divided now, and I realize I have no chance of bridging that divide.
00:15:50
Speaker
That was a lot for this person to divulge, and I really appreciate the honesty, the candor.
00:15:59
Speaker
And I'm sure that wasn't easy.
00:16:01
Speaker
Here was my reply.
00:16:03
Speaker
I said, I appreciate your honesty and candor, and you make good points, and frankly, I agree with you.
00:16:08
Speaker
Watching that movie with Felicity Huffman, Transamerica, broke my heart and spoke to probably people exactly in your shoes.
00:16:14
Speaker
I can see the difference that you speak of, and it's never come down to not respecting people's choices.
00:16:19
Speaker
It's about having to restructure my reality for their trendiness and cry for attention.
00:16:27
Speaker
And worse, the world has to stop to celebrate them.
00:16:30
Speaker
I believe all people have the right to pursue happiness wherever they may find it.
00:16:35
Speaker
Just never at the expense of society's sanity and functionality.
00:16:39
Speaker
Makes sense, but all good points.
00:16:42
Speaker
No one should be oppressed or persecuted for their choices as long as they don't hurt anyone else.
00:16:46
Speaker
It's this constant asking for special treatment in every segment of society.
00:16:51
Speaker
Race, sex, sexuality, fat, thin.
00:16:53
Speaker
I like variety in people.
00:16:55
Speaker
But it's like my book says.
00:16:56
Speaker
Amateur Nation says we're all the same.
00:16:59
Speaker
But let's celebrate the different people.
00:17:01
Speaker
There needs to be standards.
00:17:04
Speaker
It's exhausting.
00:17:06
Speaker
And I can imagine even more so for you.
00:17:13
Speaker
And finally, this important point, all the info in this topic annoys usually people 35 and up because they're starting to or have gotten their shit together and have been through some stuff.
00:17:24
Speaker
They know how life works.
00:17:26
Speaker
Again, most.
00:17:27
Speaker
There are exceptions.
00:17:29
Speaker
However, the reason what, sorry, commie, nonsense, race, and sexual agenda aggravate the hell out of 35 plus pro nation is because we know better.
00:17:41
Speaker
We know right from wrong.
00:17:42
Speaker
Deal with facts over feelings and have been through some stuff.
00:17:47
Speaker
Amateur nation, under 30 years old, amateur nation, ideally under 18, is the left's target demo because they're playing the long game.
00:17:58
Speaker
They're not trying to convert us, the adult right conservative Republicans.
00:18:02
Speaker
They're grooming, brainwashing, training, and someday enslaving the current 30 and under Americans.
00:18:10
Speaker
Xi Jinping may not live to see the final result he wants, but he stands firm and pushes through for the 3,500 years that China has behind it.
00:18:19
Speaker
The propaganda, the commie crap, the censorship, the safe spaces, the canceling, the feelings matter most philosophy, the everyone but whites are oppressed, etc.
00:18:29
Speaker
That's the only stuff they know.
00:18:32
Speaker
That's their only education and viewpoint.
00:18:34
Speaker
So it's up to us adults to leave them a country worth living in.
00:18:39
Speaker
Because when we die, and this under 30 generation contains all the adults...
Concerns About Future Generations
00:18:45
Speaker
What kinds of adults will they be?
00:18:47
Speaker
Answer, slaves.
00:18:49
Speaker
Highly emotional, drug dependent, lazy, physically, mentally, and sexually dependent upon the government, slaves.
00:18:56
Speaker
And now this.
00:18:58
Speaker
Topic number two.
Comedy Under Criticism
00:19:01
Speaker
Comedy under attack again.
00:19:03
Speaker
Recently and coincidentally, I watched the comedy classic movie Tropic Thunder, a movie I've long described as an ambitious comedy that delivers from front to back.
00:19:12
Speaker
I mean, it's a long movie for a comedy.
00:19:15
Speaker
It has a huge budget.
00:19:16
Speaker
Big names, Jack Black,
00:19:18
Speaker
Ben Stiller, the writer and executive producer.
00:19:20
Speaker
Robert Downey Jr. crushes it.
00:19:22
Speaker
Nick Nolte, Tom Cruise stepping out of his comfort zone.
00:19:25
Speaker
It was a tightly written script.
00:19:27
Speaker
There were no slow spots.
00:19:28
Speaker
There were great stunts, quotable jokes.
00:19:31
Speaker
It was an action movie.
00:19:32
Speaker
It was a great comedy for adults.
00:19:36
Speaker
That movie was released in 2008.
00:19:39
Speaker
Did you know it was mean, horrible, and racist?
00:19:42
Speaker
That's right.
00:19:42
Speaker
I fucking hate movies.
00:19:46
Speaker
A drop from the very movie I'm talking about.
00:19:48
Speaker
Yes, Amateur Nation now has a problem with a 15-year-old movie.
00:19:52
Speaker
Apparently, Tropic Thunder creator Ben Stiller has said he makes no apologies and staunchly defends it, saying he's proud of it, rightfully so, after it was slammed by a woke mob for Robert Downey Jr.'s blackface.
00:20:05
Speaker
And he shouldn't apologize for it.
00:20:07
Speaker
Anyone with half a brain would see that the movie made fun of the ridiculousness of Robert Downey Jr.'s character wearing blackface.
00:20:19
Speaker
And if you watch the whole movie, other characters point that out.
00:20:24
Speaker
And they don't have a problem with the full retard dialogue storyline.
00:20:28
Speaker
It was a brilliantly funny and ambitious comedy.
00:20:30
Speaker
And if they had a real problem with it, they would have said something back then.
00:20:34
Speaker
You had your chance, amateur nation, so lock it up.
00:20:37
Speaker
I never in my life said, you know, I'm retroactively mad about that thing I knew about 15 years ago.
00:20:44
Speaker
Headline, Chris Rock Torches Wokeness, Meghan Markle, and Will Smith, a Netflix special.
00:20:49
Speaker
Now, I'm telling you this right now.
00:20:51
Speaker
Next week's episode, I'm going to devote an entire topic to my review of the Chris Rock Netflix special.
00:20:57
Speaker
And I'm giving you a preview right now.
00:20:58
Speaker
It sucked.
00:21:00
Speaker
I actually watched half of it last night and I turned it off.
00:21:03
Speaker
I've been doing stand-up comedy for 25 years.
00:21:05
Speaker
Yes, of course I know Chris Rock is more famous than me and funnier than me.
00:21:09
Speaker
I'm not debating that.
00:21:11
Speaker
I'm talking about this special.
00:21:12
Speaker
So watch for that next week as I review that special.
00:21:15
Speaker
But I will tell you this much.
00:21:17
Speaker
The problem with it is that he fell into it when he hosted Saturday Night Live during the shutdowns slash plandemic with his thoughts and prayers for the virus when Donald Trump had COVID.
00:21:32
Speaker
I remember the look on his face as he said it and how he paused before he said that line.
00:21:39
Speaker
The joke was something like, so Donald Trump has COVID.
00:21:44
Speaker
Thoughts and prayers.
00:21:46
Speaker
go out to the virus.
00:21:47
Speaker
And he was pacing nervously.
00:21:49
Speaker
He didn't like the fact that he said it because he knew at that moment he sold out.
00:21:54
Speaker
Will Smith's bitch slap, I thought may have snapped him out of it.
00:21:59
Speaker
But having watched the first half of his new special, it broke him.
00:22:04
Speaker
Amateur Nation has been allowed way too much room to wiggle, and now we all pay for it.
00:22:11
Speaker
Rock should have at least taken a swing at Will Smith.
00:22:13
Speaker
He could have landed one.
00:22:15
Speaker
Let's see how far Smith was willing to go.
00:22:17
Speaker
That may have woken Will Smith up and America.
00:22:21
Speaker
I don't care how small Rock is to Smith.
00:22:22
Speaker
You just let someone bitch slap you on national TV with no fight back?
00:22:27
Speaker
I could see how many thought it was staged because of that very reason.
00:22:30
Speaker
I was not one of them.
00:22:31
Speaker
I'm not saying Rock would have emerged victorious in that fight, but it would have sent the message called fighting back.
00:22:37
Speaker
I get it.
00:22:38
Speaker
He was taken by surprise.
00:22:39
Speaker
He was sucker punched.
00:22:40
Speaker
Rock defending himself then and there would have saved the nation some time and dialogue and himself, and he still could have done bits about it on stage.
00:22:51
Speaker

Amateur Nation is not just a podcast.
00:24:11
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:24:12
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:24:16
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:24:17
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:24:20
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone, a desire to be treated the same as everyone else, stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

Speaker
Topic number three.
00:25:16
Speaker
Hit me!
00:25:20
Speaker
Let's have some fun.
00:25:21
Speaker
Here are ten buzzwords beaten to death by Amateur Nation with translations.
00:25:27
Speaker
In no particular order, by the way.
00:25:30
Speaker
Empowering.
00:25:32
Speaker
Translation, to get what you want by bulldozing, bullying, canceling, rioting, whining, and or annoying.
00:25:40
Speaker
Diversity.
00:25:41
Speaker
Anyone but whitey.
00:25:43
Speaker
Inclusion.
00:25:45
Speaker
See, diversity.
00:25:46
Speaker
Community.
00:25:48
Speaker
Any race, sexuality, or special group that doesn't get enough attention and wants to be treated the same as everyone else but still wants special privileges.
00:25:57
Speaker
Hate speech.
00:25:58
Speaker
Ugh.
00:26:00
Speaker
Anything amateur nation doesn't agree with, like, or even like to hear.
00:26:04
Speaker
Anything disagreeable to their ears.
00:26:07
Speaker
Safe or safe space.
00:26:09
Speaker
Translation, I'm a pussy, take my wallet.
00:26:13
Speaker
Celebrate.
00:26:14
Speaker
Translation, I want somebody to pay a little attention to me.
00:26:18
Speaker
Toxic masculinity.
00:26:20
Speaker
Translation, masculinity.
00:26:23
Speaker
Privilege.
00:26:24
Speaker
Anything and everything you have had, will get, or have is because of however you are.
00:26:30
Speaker
Note, this only applies to crackers, honkies, and whiting.
00:26:34
Speaker
And phobics, ists, and isms, as in transphobic, misogynists, and racism.
00:26:41
Speaker
You literally could put virtually any noun before those suffixes and you'd have an instant cause to rally behind.
00:26:46
Speaker
Don't like doors?
00:26:48
Speaker
Don't be a doorist.
00:26:49
Speaker
You're doorphobic and practice doorism.
00:26:53
Speaker
Notice how pronation doesn't rely on buzzwords and jargon.
00:26:57
Speaker
Just facts, logic, and common sense.
00:27:00
Speaker
There's nothing to memorize because their philosophies don't require any memorization.
00:27:04
Speaker
Just critical thinking, usually in the form of common sense.
00:27:17
Speaker
Let's have a shared plate.
00:27:18
Speaker
A sample platter, if you will.
00:27:19
Speaker
It's time for a la carte.
00:27:22
Speaker
Regarding Woody Harrelson's truth bomb on SNL.
00:27:24
Speaker
All right, so which is it, amateur nation?
00:27:26
Speaker
You don't believe Big Pharma orchestrated the plandemic?
00:27:30
Speaker
You don't want to believe, or you refuse to believe the truth?
00:27:34
Speaker
Better get on board with pro nation if you want to live.
00:27:38
Speaker
I miss the show Moonlighting.
00:27:40
Speaker
TV doesn't take risks like that anymore, and it made Bruce Willis a star.
00:27:44
Speaker
Attention Networks, you could do the fun thing and just give us good TV like that.
00:27:49
Speaker
All this diversity quota crap appealing to everyone in one show, at least trying to.
00:27:55
Speaker
And with all these advances in technology, there's no advances in story or art.
00:27:59
Speaker
Try it.
00:28:00
Speaker
America might surprise you, Networks, and come back.
00:28:04
Speaker
Funny how politicians are going after Fox's Tucker Carlson for airing the January 6th videos, but don't have anything to say about the content proving their lies itself.
00:28:16
Speaker
Genocidal, megalomaniacal tyrant Bill Gates bought a $902 million stake in Heineken beer.
00:28:25
Speaker
You think he'd have bought shares of Corona?
00:28:28
Speaker
He said, I'm not much of a beer drinker.
00:28:30
Speaker
Or maybe he's just a big homo.
00:28:32
Speaker
Could be.
00:28:33
Speaker
Oh, hey, has anyone said this yet?
00:28:35
Speaker
Fuck Ukraine.
00:28:37
Speaker
I don't mean I don't care about people in other countries and the poor people who are the victims in Ukraine, but I do care about America first, American lives and American safety and prosperity first.
00:28:47
Speaker
What, we don't have problems here?
00:28:49
Speaker
Infrastructure issues?
00:28:51
Speaker
Bad roads, bridges, train rails, crime, a border crisis?
00:28:55
Speaker
Veterans who need and deserve help?
00:28:58
Speaker
When was the last time we got aid from anyone?
00:29:01
Speaker
Ukraine has nothing we want or need, nor do we owe them jack shit.
00:29:05
Speaker
This is money laundering, war profiteering, and another hoax, plain and simple.
00:29:12
Speaker
This is the longest two weeks of curve flattening ever.
00:29:17
Speaker
In crazy Chelsea Handler news, she's been on the diabetic prescription drug Ozempic despite not being diabetic.
00:29:24
Speaker
Yes, I think you're stupid.
00:29:26
Speaker
Apparently it's the drug of choice in Hollywood because you lose a little bit of weight.
00:29:29
Speaker
Now here's the best part.
00:29:31
Speaker
The woman who didn't know the moon and sun were different things until she was 40 said that she didn't even know she was on Ozempic.
00:29:38
Speaker
Watch for Chelsea Handler to go Kathy Griffin crazy.
00:29:43
Speaker
I was listening to the radio.
00:29:44
Speaker
Remember the radio?
00:29:46
Speaker
And I heard a minister say, Are you a friend of God?
00:29:50
Speaker
Now, a normal person might have heard that as thought-provoking and a chance to be introspective.
00:29:55
Speaker
But, of course, my immature comedy brain went to, Are you a friend of God?
00:29:59
Speaker
Friend?
00:30:00
Speaker
Hell, I grew up with him.
00:30:02
Speaker
Nice guy.
00:30:03
Speaker
Gets a little pissy if you don't do what he says.
00:30:05
Speaker
Lost his son at a young age.
00:30:06
Speaker
Yeah, that was tragic.
00:30:07
Speaker
Yeah, I know.
00:30:08
Speaker
I heard about that.
00:30:09
Speaker
But still, a good guy.
00:30:11
Speaker
I should really reach out.
00:30:12
Speaker
It's been too long.
00:30:13
Speaker
Alright, so you might think that was blasphemous or sacrilegious, but then I thought, you know, if anyone would have a great sense of humor and would be cool with being roasted, so to speak, it would be God.
00:30:23
Speaker
Like God's going, alright, that was pretty good, that was good, you got me, that was funny.
00:30:27
Speaker
Smite him.
00:30:33
Speaker
As always, despite the three topics in Amateur Nation, I always find three pro things, things that are done right.
00:30:39
Speaker
Here they are, number one.
00:30:44
Speaker
This spot-on post by Joe Solstice posted on the Conservative Values group page on Facebook.
00:30:50
Speaker
Here it is.
00:30:51
Speaker
He says, "...the left doesn't just tut-tut about hate crimes and hate speech.
00:30:56
Speaker
They lionize victims of hate crimes and use every instance of insults or crimes as proof that our society is fundamentally flawed."
00:31:05
Speaker
They need hate crimes to justify their critique of American society and their efforts to remake it.
00:31:11
Speaker
So the manufacture of hate incidents isn't actually isolated at all, but rather part of a political strategy and even a tool for social advancement for the fake victims.
00:31:23
Speaker
Jussie Small at anyone?
00:31:25
Speaker
Or the Lincoln Project's attack on Glenn Youngkin, where they tried to tie him to white supremacists with a hoax.
00:31:32
Speaker
That stunt was literally bought and paid for by the left.
00:31:36
Speaker
You can't call that an isolated incident.
00:31:38
Speaker
It was literally part of an electoral strategy.
00:31:42
Speaker
By now it is obvious that almost every hate crime you read about is a fraud.
00:31:47
Speaker
Which brings me to yet another example that encapsulates the movement to demonize free speech.
00:31:52
Speaker
You may have read about how some professors at MIT have actually decided to take a stand for free speech.
00:31:59
Speaker
In the wake of their defense of the obvious, hate messages directed at LGBT students started popping up on campus.
00:32:05
Speaker
Normally, this would make one wonder about the obvious.
00:32:09
Speaker
Why would people inclined to anonymously threaten LGBT students wait to do so until some professors decided to defend freedom?
00:32:18
Speaker
Were they anonymous haters with a penchant for using chalk and posting flyers held back by a desire not to offend professors?
00:32:26
Speaker
Seems odd.
00:32:27
Speaker
And it was.
00:32:28
Speaker
It was, as you can guess, all a hoax.
00:32:31
Speaker
A hoax that the students involved used to make a political point.
00:32:35
Speaker
The political point itself is absurd since the only hate incidents they were protesting by their actions were committed by themselves.
00:32:43
Speaker
They were the enemy.
00:32:45
Speaker
They were demonizing.
00:32:48
Speaker
Man, that's a power-packed post.
00:32:50
Speaker
Good job.
00:32:50
Speaker
Number two.
00:32:53
Speaker
Back-to-back comedians on 3 Pro Things with this absolutely intuitive and astute observation about social media.
00:33:00
Speaker
In particular, the social media platform Snapchat by comedian Bo Burnham.
00:33:05
Speaker
Why do you think Snapchat exists?
00:33:07
Speaker
Why do you think they would make a company for 13-year-olds where a photo disappears after 24 hours?
00:33:14
Speaker
Why do you think kids would want to use that?
00:33:15
Speaker
You know, I've been to Silicon Valley.
00:33:17
Speaker
I've met these places.
00:33:17
Speaker
There are buildings full of 300 people who are all employed to give children what they want, not what they need.
00:33:25
Speaker
The base, base interests of children's wants.
00:33:28
Speaker
Because before you wanted to get to a kid, you had to appeal to their parents because their parents would turn the television off.
00:33:33
Speaker
So if you wanted to make a program for a kid, it had to appeal to their parents because their parents were in control of the media they consumed.
00:33:38
Speaker
The kids have direct access to it now, so it doesn't matter.
00:33:41
Speaker
And there's an entire dialogue happening between these tech companies and kids that parents are completely unaware of.
00:33:47
Speaker
He ain't wrong.
00:33:48
Speaker
Number three.
00:33:52
Speaker
This brilliant snark fest by comedian Jeffrey Asmus with material against liberals while performing in New York.
Jeffrey Asmus Comedic Set
00:34:00
Speaker
He deserves the 145,000 follows he has gotten.
00:34:03
Speaker
Take it away, Jeffrey.
00:34:03
Speaker
We love market middle America.
00:34:08
Speaker
Don't we?
00:34:08
Speaker
They are.
00:34:11
Speaker
They also grow all your food, don't they, you little fuckers, don't they?
00:34:15
Speaker
You little soft-handed liberal scum, you'd bleed if you looked at a shovel, you little cunt, wouldn't you?
00:34:20
Speaker
You don't do a single useful thing for the planet, you little fuckers, isn't that true?
00:34:25
Speaker
You'd die in a day without Republicans, wouldn't you?
00:34:28
Speaker
You can't eat a podcast, can you?
00:34:35
Speaker
No protein in slam poetry, is there?
00:34:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:34:40
Speaker
That's what I hate about New York.
00:34:41
Speaker
People think they're so tough here, it's so annoying.
00:34:43
Speaker
They're like, you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
00:34:46
Speaker
Nah, you'd die in a day at my uncle's farm, man.
00:34:50
Speaker
He doesn't have clean drinking water, sriracha, or feminism, right?
00:34:54
Speaker
Well, he has sriracha, he calls it Chinaman ketchup.
00:35:02
Speaker
Great show.
