Introduction to Honor and Remember Flag

00:00:00
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.
00:00:10
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.
00:00:22
Speaker
Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
00:00:30
Speaker
Together, we remember them all.

Discussion on Societal Behaviors

00:00:33
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:00:37
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:00:39
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:00:41
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:00:43
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
00:00:46
Speaker
Stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

Podcast's Purpose and Movement

00:01:53
Speaker
Warning.
00:01:53
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:58
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:02:05
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.
00:02:16
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:02:18
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:02:22
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:02:25
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:02:28
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:02:30
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:02:32
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:35
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-whoring, self-entitled drama queen victim types.
00:02:40
Speaker
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.
00:02:49
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:50
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:50
Speaker
Amateur Nation.
00:02:51
Speaker
It's not just a podcast.
00:02:53
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:02:54
Speaker
This

Episode Introduction and Segments by Lou Santini

00:02:55
Speaker
is episode 243, A.S.
00:02:55
Speaker
Artificial Stupidity.
00:03:01
Speaker
On today's episode, the Keebler elf isn't done sticking his sciencey nose in your life.
00:03:05
Speaker
This week at Are You Fucking Kidding Me?
00:03:08
Speaker
and How to Tell if You're Not a Pussy.
00:03:09
Speaker
Plus tasty sarcastic bites on a la carte and somehow I'm still able to find three things that are done right on three pro things.
00:03:17
Speaker
And as always, pronation gets mentioned first.
00:03:20
Speaker
Shouts out to Richard Pesrock, Chef Torres, Vinny Zena, Gail Fulmer,
00:03:25
Speaker
See DrillKill33, Paul Mosca, 0414Blake, John Lumbus, and Brandon Taylor on Instagram.
00:03:33
Speaker
Mary Fergwale Weiss on YouTube.
00:03:35
Speaker
And a special shout out to Urzep on Instagram, who snagged some free, no amateurs, teas when she contributed an entire topic to the show last week.
00:03:44
Speaker
And I love this.
00:03:45
Speaker
She messaged me saying, amateurs are speed bumps that get in our way.
00:03:50
Speaker
It is an eye-opening and refreshing way to move through the rest of life.
00:03:54
Speaker
Time to get rid of undulations.
00:03:56
Speaker
These shirts are needed on every corner as notices to the weak and feeble-minded to get the fuck out of the way and to ruin their own lives.
00:04:06
Speaker
She also mentioned how her daughter Marlise is working at the radio station at Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio.
00:04:12
Speaker
And she said, quote, there are people on campus who are hiding that they actually are conservative on campus.
00:04:19
Speaker
So she shares your podcast.
00:04:21
Speaker
Marlise, you have great parents and I appreciate the support.
00:04:25
Speaker
Shoot me an email, Marlise, and I'll make sure you're not the only one in your family that doesn't have a no amateurs tee so you can show it off on campus.
00:04:32

You can also find me on Truth Social, at lou.santini.

Episode Theme: 'Artificial Stupidity'

00:04:39
Speaker
Your post of the week is where I got the title and inspiration for this week's episode, and it's from Thomas Sowell.
00:04:45
Speaker
Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children.
00:04:56
Speaker
In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.
00:05:04
Speaker
As always, this show's foundation is common sense.
00:05:08
Speaker
It can be curt, sarcastic, blunt, vulgar, and sometimes hard to hear.
00:05:13
Speaker
Yes, I get angry on this show sometimes.
00:05:15
Speaker
Bitter?
00:05:16
Speaker
Oh, you bet.
00:05:17
Speaker
Laziness and complacency does not live here.
00:05:21
Speaker
This show doesn't make excuses for those who want to destroy America simply because they're weak, compliant, bored, unfulfilled, and go along with the narrative and what's popular.
00:05:29
Speaker
This podcast rails against, well, that's just how things are now.
00:05:34
Speaker
This show will not pander.
00:05:36
Speaker
Use this show as a weekly emotional vent.
00:05:38
Speaker
It's your outlet.
00:05:40
Speaker
This show is for you.
00:05:41
Speaker
You listening right now.
00:05:44
Speaker
This is why I quote the pros who listen to this show.
00:05:47
Speaker
This is why I use and credit audio clips and other posts from the pros out there that align with the ideals of pro-nation.
00:05:55
Speaker
Amateur Nation is full of misplaced, irrational, frenzied emotion.
00:05:59
Speaker
This show, representing pro-nation, taps into the much-needed, properly-channeled, targeted emotion with sarcasm and levity sprinkled in, responding to the boring, repetitious mainstream media, the press, and all the other podcasts.
00:06:14
Speaker
That are lacking it.
00:06:16
Speaker
We already got the what in the news that you see and read every day.
00:06:20
Speaker
We all pretty much know the why.
00:06:22
Speaker
Corruption.
00:06:23
Speaker
The how.
00:06:23
Speaker
Money.
00:06:24
Speaker
Influence and power.
00:06:25
Speaker
The where.
00:06:26
Speaker
America.
00:06:27
Speaker
The who.
00:06:29
Speaker
Well, we read about them daily, too.
00:06:31
Speaker
We know who the main players are in destroying America and, frankly, the world.
00:06:35
Speaker
The right amount of anger, when used properly, can be a very good thing.
00:06:39
Speaker
Our imaginations can run wild when you add up all the true evil that is being thrust upon us at every turn.
00:06:44
Speaker
We can't go around being mad at the world 24-7, but this podcast can help you compartmentalize that understandable anger and balance that with laughter, even if out of desperation and exhaustion, for around a half hour every week.
00:06:58
Speaker
I hope it helps you.

Balancing Entertainment and Humor

00:07:00
Speaker
I hope these weekly messages land with you.
00:07:02
Speaker
And I hope I entertain you and make you laugh.
00:07:05
Speaker
Every week, at least once.
00:07:07
Speaker
We've got no food.
00:07:08
Speaker
We've got no jobs.
00:07:10
Speaker
Our pets' heads are falling off!
00:07:12
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:07:14
Speaker
Push the tip.
00:07:15
Speaker
Step one.
00:07:16
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:07:19
Speaker
I begin this first topic with a quote by a friend of the show, Alert Pro Shane Zettelmeyer on Instagram, who posted, Trust the science has never been anything other than a marketing term.
00:07:30
Speaker
That means shut up and obey.
00:07:33
Speaker
And this from Wellness7Warrior, also on Instagram.
00:07:36
Speaker
Remember that game you played as a child called Simon Says where you did whatever you were told quickly without thinking?
00:07:42
Speaker
Millions of adults are now playing a game called Science Says.
00:07:47
Speaker
Same rules apply.
00:07:49
Speaker
And don't forget, Dr. Anthony Keebler L. Fauci is science.
00:07:54
Speaker
I recently mentioned how, isn't it funny that Fauci seemed to be vanished from the earth now that there's talk about bringing masks back and more vaccines back, despite almost two years worth of evidence that proves that neither does shit, and in fact, both have been proven to be harmful and or deadly to Americans.
00:08:12
Speaker
But wait, that doesn't mean this genocidal amateur doesn't have input about other stuff.
00:08:17
Speaker
He's like Fredo from The Godfather.
00:08:19
Speaker
I can handle things.
00:08:20
Speaker
I'm smart.
00:08:22
Speaker
I'm like everybody says.
00:08:23
Speaker
Like dumb.
00:08:25
Speaker
I'm smart and I want to stay.
00:08:27
Speaker
This from the Washington Examiner.
00:08:29
Speaker
Why should anyone care about Fauci's opinion on climate change?
00:08:33
Speaker
First off, hats off to Zachary Faria, the commentary writer for this piece.
00:08:38
Speaker
It says this, Dr. Anthony Fauci is the personification of the incoherent anti-science pandemic response that millions suffered through for two years or more.
00:08:47
Speaker
So why are we still expected to entertain his opinions about anything, much less about areas of science where he has no expertise?
00:08:55
Speaker
Not sufficiently run out of public life as he should have been after his lies and arrogant mistakes during the pandemic, Fauci has now decided to grace us with his opinions on climate change.
00:09:05
Speaker
Fauci said that the climate change countering has to come from an international commitment and that climate change is responsible for the crazy weather that we're having in this country.
00:09:18
Speaker
Oh, you mean the purposely set Maui fires that murdered hundreds, possibly thousands, so the elite could steal their land?
00:09:24
Speaker
That crazy weather?
00:09:27
Speaker
The article goes on to say, What does that crazy weather caused by climate change include?
00:09:32
Speaker
According to Fauci, the fires in Hawaii, the ones that in truth were likely caused by a power line and were certainly made worse by incompetence at every level of government, is one such example.
00:09:43
Speaker
Another is that Texas had something like 75 days in a row over 95 degrees.
00:09:49
Speaker
Fun fact, historically, the average high temperature in July and August in Texas is over 95 degrees.
00:09:55
Speaker
Science, you crazy bitch.
00:09:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:09:59
Speaker
The article continues.
00:10:00
Speaker
Fauci's mediocre analysis can be criticized on its own, but there is another question here.
00:10:05
Speaker
Why does Anthony Fauci's opinion about climate change carry any weight?
00:10:10
Speaker
If trusting the science is the only thing that matters, why should we listen to Fauci whose expertise is in infectious diseases?
00:10:18
Speaker
Fauci went to Cornell University's Medical College and then began his career working at the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
00:10:28
Speaker
He is no climatologist.
00:10:30
Speaker
Being a climatologist is not a prerequisite for having a worthwhile opinion on climate change, but Fauci is the same man who ordained himself the representative of the science.
00:10:41
Speaker
He leaned on his credentials more than anyone throughout the pandemic, despite how often he got things wrong and how much damage he did to the country.
00:10:49
Speaker
He showed throughout the pandemic that he was dishonest, arrogant, and had terrible judgment.
00:10:54
Speaker
He burnt his credibility during the pandemic despite being an expert on infectious diseases.
00:11:00
Speaker
He has nothing to offer in any other area of science.
00:11:05
Speaker
Fauci will certainly continue to offer his opinions, given his massive ego that was inflated by liberal media during the pandemic, but those opinions are worthless.
00:11:14
Speaker
Fauci should have no influence on any area of public life anymore.
00:11:22
Speaker
Well said.
00:11:23
Speaker
Great article.
00:11:24
Speaker
Don't forget, when you're attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci, you're attacking science.
00:11:29
Speaker
Man, science is handy for everything.
00:11:32
Speaker
Maybe he could use science to help the Cleveland Browns finally win a Super Bowl.
00:11:36
Speaker
In fact, here are more science-y tips from the Keebler elf.

Satirical Commentary on Science

00:11:40
Speaker
For a more intense orgasm, use a chainsaw.
00:11:44
Speaker
Lose up to 50 pounds a day on the Chop Off Two Limbs diet.
00:11:48
Speaker
Save on monthly expenses by getting rid of your least favorite child.
00:11:52
Speaker
Slash your grocery bill by eating your pet.
00:11:57
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:11:58
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:12:02
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Are You Fucking Kidding Me?
00:12:05
Speaker
Let's start with Commie-Fornia.
00:12:07
Speaker
California is asshole.
00:12:09
Speaker
What have I been saying?
00:12:10
Speaker
Commie-Fornia Democrats have proposed Bill 553, which, ready for this, makes it illegal to confront or fight back against looters, burglars, and shoplifters.
00:12:22
Speaker
If you try to stop any of those crimes, you'll be fined nearly $20,000.
00:12:26
Speaker
California's just not a safe place.
00:12:29
Speaker
No shit.
00:12:32
Speaker
Then let's take a short but yet now expensive flight to Denver, where Denver will pay $4.7 million to settle a class action lawsuit to the corrupt communist fraudulent Black Lives Matter that alleged that protesters were unjustly targeted for violating the city's curfew during demonstrations over the killing of George Floyd in 2020.
00:12:51
Speaker
City councilors unanimously agreed to the deal Monday without any debate.
00:12:55
Speaker
Meanwhile, the owners of small businesses and residences who had their livelihoods stolen get nothing.
00:13:03
Speaker
Then let's take a much longer, much more expensive flight to China, where they have drafted a law banning speech and dressing, quote, detrimental to the spirit of Chinese people, sparking debate in China.
00:13:16
Speaker
People who wear or force others to wear clothing and symbols that undermine the spirit or hurt the feelings of the Chinese nation could be detained for up to 15 days and fined up to $680 American dollars.
00:13:31
Speaker
You know, you guys ought to watch it, making fun of people like that.
00:13:34
Speaker
You could hurt their feelings.
00:13:40
Speaker
Satan's right-hand man, Bill What-Does-A-BooB-Look-Like-Gates, wants to control all food with Gates AG1, as in one agriculture for the whole world, with him controlling the seeds in seed banks.
00:13:54
Speaker
He says that agriculture innovation accelerators that fund technological innovation to mitigate climate change.
00:14:01
Speaker
Man, climate change is in everything.
00:14:04
Speaker
I think it's in your cereal and your condoms.
00:14:07
Speaker
Gum.
00:14:08
Speaker
Fun fact, AG1 promotes, among other heinous things, land and water grabs and corporate control of food and farming.
00:14:15
Speaker
He already owns most of the farmland in America.
00:14:19
Speaker
What's more, he pledged $315 million to the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers Trust Fund, which is a merger of corporations and government.
00:14:30
Speaker
Always a lethal combo that controls resources, research, and policies on food and agriculture worldwide.
00:14:39
Speaker
Man, I've never seen someone so caring about the world and the human race as Bill Gates.
00:14:44
Speaker
Wait, was that sarcasm?
00:14:45
Speaker
Need yet another reason to never drink Bud Light?
00:14:48
Speaker
Bill, I won't be happy until I'm the only man on the planet Gates bought 1.7 million shares of Anheuser-Busch stock after Dylan pretend girl Mulvaney tanked the stock.
00:14:58
Speaker
Bud Light, now with more MRNA.
00:15:00
Speaker
Okay!
00:15:04
Speaker
And finally, in the latest Maui murder news, Hawaii Governor Green's Build Beyond Barriers Working Group recently met to discuss the project proposals for the redevelopment of Lahaina.
00:15:14
Speaker
Just one problem.
00:15:15
Speaker
The group was selected three weeks prior to the fires by Governor Green's Emergency Proclamation for Housing, which suspends dozens of laws, thereby helping expedite the building process.
00:15:29
Speaker
Even better, no public testimony is allowed.
00:15:33
Speaker
And written testimony has to be submitted 24 hours prior to the meeting.
00:15:38
Speaker
I'm sure the remaining homeless destitute fire victims have easy access to pen, paper, and or computers.
00:15:44
Speaker
Not to mention all that free time since they have nothing now.
00:15:46
Speaker
Go fuck yourself.
00:15:51
Speaker
Leave a review about this show wherever you listen.
00:15:54
Speaker

00:16:55
Speaker
The Honor and Remember flag is a nationally recognized symbol that sends a message of appreciation for the sacrifice made
00:17:03
Speaker
by our fallen heroes and their families.
00:17:05
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.
00:17:17
Speaker
Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
00:17:21
Speaker
Together, we remember them all.
00:17:32
Speaker
Back to you, fuckers.
00:17:34
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:17:36
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:17:37
Speaker
Hit me!
00:17:40
Speaker
Do you like to eat healthy and stay fit?
00:17:43
Speaker
Like to laugh?
00:17:45
Speaker
How about freedom?
00:17:46
Speaker
Like freedom, do you?
00:17:47
Speaker
I stumbled upon this post from Laura Matsu Gunther on Instagram where she said this and notated her comments with screenshots from real headlines found online.
00:17:57
Speaker
I looked them up.
00:17:58
Speaker
They're all legit.
00:17:59
Speaker
Her post read this.
00:18:02
Speaker
I love how literally anything can be labeled far right these days.
00:18:07
Speaker
Don't want to take a medical treatment that could potentially kill you or give you myocarditis?
00:18:11
Speaker
You must be far right.
00:18:13
Speaker
Do you think eating healthy and exercising is better than taking pharmaceuticals?
00:18:17
Speaker
That's far right.
00:18:19
Speaker
Prefer olive oil over canola?
00:18:21
Speaker
That's a far right talking point.
00:18:23
Speaker
Do you have literally any opinion that goes against what they told you on the news?
00:18:27
Speaker
Guess what?
00:18:28
Speaker
You're now a far-right extremist.
00:18:30
Speaker
Okay, here they are.
00:18:32
Speaker
This headline from Rolling Stone magazine.
00:18:35
Speaker
Why is the right so obsessed with seed oils?
00:18:38
Speaker
Wellness influencers and conspiracy theory peddlers love to demonize seed oils, but experts think their fears are bullshit.
00:18:47
Speaker
Stay in your lane, Rolling Stone.
00:18:48
Speaker
Just keep giving every album that comes down the pipe three and a half stars like you've always done.
00:18:53
Speaker
And ooh, you use the word bullshit in a sub headline.
00:18:56
Speaker
How hip, how unprofessional.
00:18:59
Speaker
Seed oils are things like sunflower oil, canola oil, and soybean oil.
00:19:03
Speaker
Common sense tells you anyone that cutting back on them or cutting them out of your diet entirely will literally change your health.
00:19:10
Speaker
These oils are the kind most commonly found in processed foods and fast food.
00:19:14
Speaker
So let me get this straight.
00:19:16
Speaker
Not wanting to eat these seed oils in processed and fast food.
00:19:21
Speaker
Not wanting to eat processed and fast food and eating healthy and trying to live longer is
00:19:28
Speaker
Is far right?
00:19:29
Speaker
Uh, that doesn't make any sense.
00:19:33
Speaker
You think that's stupid?
00:19:35
Speaker
Look at this opinion piece on MSNBC.com.
00:19:38
Speaker
The far right's obsession with fitness is going digital.
00:19:42
Speaker
Complete with a flexing bicep, literally amongst a backdrop of Hitler youth giving the Sieg Heil salute.
00:19:51
Speaker
The subheading reads, White Supremacists' Latest Scheme to Valorize Violence and Hypermasculinity Has Gone Digital.
00:20:01
Speaker
I guess the elderly group that comes to my gym on Wednesdays for a fitness class should have the FBI raiding their homes.
00:20:07
Speaker
Or the black guy that I spotted on the bench last week.
00:20:10
Speaker
Or the tiny Asian woman who uses the elliptical during my entire workout.
00:20:14
Speaker
All white supremacists!
00:20:17
Speaker
The article says,
00:20:38
Speaker
I know that's why I work out.
00:20:39
Speaker
Not so I don't die of heart disease or to keep my cardiovascular health in check or so I can play sports and walk up steps without getting winded or to keep my joints lubricated and my bones strong.
00:20:49
Speaker
It's just in case I have to join a white supremacist army.
00:20:52
Speaker
Not to clear my head and help reduce stress and to stay attractive to my girlfriend.
00:20:56
Speaker
The horror.
00:20:57
Speaker
We're going to look amazing in our selfies of ourselves.
00:21:01
Speaker
I was just telling someone the other day that if there were a civil war between the right and the left, it would be the shortest civil war in history with the highest death toll on the left.
00:21:11
Speaker
Those concave-chested or morbidly obese amateurs too pale to fight in sunlight after being indoors all day working on their TikTok videos and OnlyFans accounts, surviving on fast food or an all-vegan diet and no exercise, no gun skills, or even if they had guns, their fingers mangled in permanent video game paralysis.
00:21:28
Speaker
Oh!
00:21:32
Speaker
Like freedom?
00:21:33
Speaker
What are you, some sort of diet-conscious fitness-crazed Nazi?
00:21:36
Speaker
From CBS.ca, why the word freedom is such a useful rallying cry for protesters.
00:21:43
Speaker
Now you're just trying to piss me off!
00:21:45
Speaker
Now, before I dive into this nonsense, let's pause and appreciate the fact that so-called news sources are now devoting stories about what you and others are thinking and saying.
00:21:55
Speaker
This isn't a story about the Valley Girl speaking craze back in the 80s that was a fad.
00:22:00
Speaker
This isn't a story about Ebonics that destroyed the English language.
00:22:04
Speaker
This isn't a story about an event or a news item.
00:22:08
Speaker
This is a story about a word, a beautiful word that has many meanings to different people in a variety of circumstances.
00:22:15
Speaker
But when is freedom a bad thing?
00:22:19
Speaker
The article subheading, the word has become common among far-right groups, experts say.
00:22:24
Speaker
See, amateurs will read this and two things will be processed.
00:22:27
Speaker
One, it's online, so it's true.
00:22:30
Speaker
Two, experts say.
00:22:32
Speaker
And then they do no follow-up research or critical thinking while reading the article because their steady diet of sound bites and TikTok and daily anxiety meds will keep them mentally sedated.
00:22:42
Speaker
Consider this post I found from Ozetti on Truth Social.
00:22:46
Speaker
Have you ever heard USA, USA, USA at a Democrat rally?
00:22:53
Speaker
Neither have I.
00:22:54
Speaker
USA!
00:22:55
Speaker
USA!
00:22:56
Speaker
USA!
00:22:56
Speaker
It's nice to hear that, isn't it?
00:22:58
Speaker
This is an older article from February of 2022 during those trucker protests in Canada about freedom.
00:23:15
Speaker
It says,
00:23:43
Speaker
Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, says when they're yelling they care so much about their freedom, they're taking freedoms away from other people who don't have the same kind of agency and choice that they do.
00:23:58
Speaker
The balls.
00:24:00
Speaker
Not once in pronation, when it comes to vaccines and masks and all that other shit, has a pro wanted to take away the right of an amateur to kill themselves with untested gene experiments and masks.
00:24:11
Speaker
What choice or agency does the other side not have that we do?
00:24:17
Speaker
Name it.
00:24:18
Speaker
Go!
00:24:23
Speaker
Let's just say that America operates as it should with common sense and overnight, real, President Trump says, anyone who wants the vaccine, feel free to get it.
00:24:31
Speaker
Wear your mask if you want.
00:24:32
Speaker
But from now on, there will be no discrimination of work, schooling, or public living interference for anyone who does not want it.
00:24:40
Speaker
Explain how you, an amateur nation, have had your freedom infringed.
00:24:45
Speaker
You haven't.
00:24:46
Speaker
It's pushing social good, a cutesy little term over individual freedom.
00:24:50
Speaker
Now, listen carefully.
00:24:52
Speaker
I'll say that again.
00:24:53
Speaker
It's a cutesy little term over individual freedom.
00:24:57
Speaker
That is pushing social good.
00:24:59
Speaker
Now, along those lines, without jumping subjects, take, for example, the transgendered agenda.
00:25:05
Speaker
This audio from Mindset of Potential explaining how individual freedoms are taken in the world of socialism and communism.
00:25:14
Speaker
Listen carefully.
00:25:15
Speaker
You see, there is nothing new about transgenderism, kids.
00:25:18
Speaker
Nothing.
00:25:19
Speaker
The difference is the political environment you are now in.
00:25:23
Speaker
Back in the 1970s, the left predominantly, but also many on the right,
00:25:28
Speaker
believed not only in free speech, but also in its twin ideology of libertarianism, which was essentially the idea that so long as they are not harming anyone else, adult individuals should be free to do whatever they like, especially in the privacy of their own home.
00:25:47
Speaker
In a libertarian world, where the emphasis is on the individual, transgenderism was fine and caused barely any ripples.
00:25:56
Speaker
But we don't live in that world any longer.
00:25:59
Speaker
The left here and throughout the West, having successfully taken over all our major institutions, have done precisely what Marx and Lenin instructed them to do, which is to abandon individual rights and
00:26:14
Speaker
and impose collective leftist authoritarianism.
00:26:18
Speaker
Now, instead of the individual being free, the individual must bow to whatever the authoritarian collective left demands.
00:26:29
Speaker
Which means, because the authoritarian left have decreed that women can be men and men can be women, the whole of society must change and bend to the will of the authoritarian elites.
00:26:46
Speaker
And finally, the one that hits home to this comedian found on Medium.com this headline.
00:26:54
Speaker
Laughter, the new symbol of the far right.
00:26:57
Speaker
Oh, he's serious.
00:27:00
Speaker
By the way, while the headline can be found, the article has been taken down.
00:27:05
Speaker
This explains how amateur nation can't meme, and all the worst comedians are amateur millennials whose entire routine is about their anxiety, depression, and how the world is against them, and nothing is their fault.
00:27:16
Speaker
It also explains the censorship and cancel culture perpetrated by the left, i.e.
00:27:21
Speaker
amateur nation.
00:27:22
Speaker
Because, as is often the case, comedians, the best ones anyway, shine a light on the ludicrous, the stupid, the annoying, the speed bumps of life, the amateurs that are in your way every day.
00:27:34
Speaker
Here are some other headlines found from CNN about laughter being far right.
00:27:40
Speaker
Pay attention to the far right's use of memes to stir extremism.
00:27:45
Speaker
Not memes!
00:27:47
Speaker
As opposed to canceling and ruining entire careers over decades-old tweets, or assaulting comedians on or off stage, or denying Kevin Hart the job of hosting the Oscars because of old tweets.
00:27:59
Speaker
But those memes, look out!
00:28:01
Speaker
Brought to you by the amateurs who say clapping triggers them.
00:28:04
Speaker
There's nothing wrong with making people laugh!
00:28:06
Speaker
How about this one?
00:28:07
Speaker
The dark side of laughter.
00:28:09
Speaker
Humor is a tool for othering.
00:28:12
Speaker
Othering.
00:28:13
Speaker
Sounds like yet another lame movie based on a lame book by commie Stephen King.
00:28:18
Speaker
The Othering.
00:28:19
Speaker
Rated R. In case you don't know what this stupid nothing word is, it means, quote, to view or treat a person or group of people as intrinsically different from an alien to oneself.
00:28:31
Speaker
Can you imagine to treat someone else differently than yourself?
00:28:34
Speaker
So which is it, amateur nation?
00:28:36
Speaker
Are we all the same?
00:28:37
Speaker
Or are we individuals, you know, like trans people?
00:28:40
Speaker
I mean, we all know they're special.
00:28:41
Speaker
And the minorities.
00:28:42
Speaker
And the homeless.
00:28:43
Speaker
And the illegal, sorry, immigrants.
00:28:46
Speaker
They're all special.
00:28:55
Speaker
Enough of these fool meals.
00:28:56
Speaker
I don't want to get all far right on you, but let's get some smaller, lighter bites.
00:29:01
Speaker
by dining off the a la carte menu.
00:29:02
Speaker
Here we go.
00:29:05
Speaker
We now know what kind of person Oprah really is.
00:29:08
Speaker
Looks like she's been learning from Lakami James on how to ruin an image.
00:29:11
Speaker
Is she a great big fat person?
00:29:13
Speaker
Yes, despite Weight Watchers.
00:29:15
Speaker
Oprah, a billionaire, appeared with The Rock worth 800 million asking you, a hundredaire or maybe a thousandaire, for donations to help out the remaining Maui residents who were not murdered by Oprah, her friends, and not my government.
00:29:30
Speaker
Don't worry, FEMA to the rescue after they're done with the $1,000 a night resort hotel stays.
00:29:36
Speaker
And don't forget those hefty $700 checks from President Coloring Book's administration.
00:29:41
Speaker
Hell, America got more money for not having COVID.
00:29:44
Speaker
Oprah, you don't appear or talk on TV or the internet anymore.
00:29:51
Speaker
Speaking of land grabs, China owns almost 400,000 acres of U.S. farmland as of December of 2021.
00:29:59
Speaker
Almost half of it is in Texas.
00:30:01
Speaker
What could possibly go wrong?
00:30:03
Speaker
Looks like Liberty Safe just got added to the boycott list.
00:30:07
Speaker
Digital, everything is better, right?
00:30:11
Speaker
I saw that there's a new movie called The Batman.
00:30:14
Speaker
Lazy title much?
00:30:15
Speaker
So this is where we are in remakes, reboots, and sequels, adding the word the to the front.
00:30:20
Speaker
Ooh, The Batman.
00:30:21
Speaker
Coming soon, The Jaws.
00:30:26
Speaker
99.99% of these trends gendered men are suffering from mental illness whether real or fake.
00:30:31
Speaker
When faked, used as an excuse to get into women's dressing rooms and locker rooms and or to groom and molest children.
00:30:38
Speaker
Amateurs often ask, would you make fun of a person who has mental illness?
00:30:41
Speaker
Yes, when they prey on society and especially when they prey on the vulnerable including America's children.
00:30:47
Speaker
And yes, when they use this ruse as an excuse to get preferential treatment and disrupt society or engage in criminal behavior.
00:30:56
Speaker
Did you know literally everything, including me, saying this sentence affects climate change?
00:31:01
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:31:02
Speaker
How dare you?
00:31:03
Speaker
The governor of California has the solutions to fix the state.
00:31:07
Speaker
So what's it gonna be?
00:31:08
Speaker
Paper airplanes?
00:31:09
Speaker
How a rock works?
00:31:10
Speaker
Here's Gavin someone checked for the mark of the beast behind his ear Newsome with his 10-year plan to save San Francisco.
00:31:17
Speaker
Warning, it's complicated.
00:31:19
Speaker
Pencils ready?
00:31:20
Speaker
We believe fundamentally that food solves hunger, that shelters solve sleep, and that housing solves homelessness.
00:31:29
Speaker
And that's why we established this framework, what we call a 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness in San Francisco.
00:31:35
Speaker
By the way, his 10-year plan began in 2008.
00:31:37
Speaker
Good luck, California.
00:31:45
Speaker
Funny how the two most prosperous times for America in the last 50 plus years were when Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were presidents.
00:31:55
Speaker
Men who were not politicians by trade.
00:31:58
Speaker
What does that tell you?
00:32:00
Speaker
Speaking of politicians, New York commie mayor Eric Adams, who once wanted to welcome all the illegal aliens with open arms, says New York is done because of illegal immigration, saying it will destroy the city.
00:32:12
Speaker
Funny how the tragedy of 9-11 didn't destroy New York City in the long term.
00:32:17
Speaker
But keep voting for Democrats.
00:32:19
Speaker
Amateurs!
00:32:21
Speaker
Look at that, just last week, a topic on this show mentioned how the CDC said the masks not only don't stop the spread of COVID, I mean the flu, but now the NIH suggests that N95 masks may expose wearers to dangerous levels of toxic compounds linked to seizures and cancer.
00:32:39
Speaker
Now, I'm no scientist like Dr. Fauci, but I'll take the flu over seizures and cancer.
00:32:46
Speaker
Instead of presidential debates, I'd like to see one between Dr. Keebler L. Fauci and Dr. Peter McCullough.
00:32:53
Speaker
Regardless of contents, the first serial company that uses a Ziploc bag wins my business.
00:33:00
Speaker
Chicago is just a brain trust of bad ideas.
00:33:03
Speaker
No, first they politely ask their gangs to limit their shooting literally half of the day, leaving law-abiding citizens a full four hours to live in the illusion of safety after working an eight-hour day.
00:33:15
Speaker
And now the mayor, Brandon Johnson, is suing Kia and Hyundai due to those models of cars being easily stolen.
00:33:22
Speaker
In other news, the city of Chicago is also suing the makers of all jackets, purses, and pants for making wallets so easily accessible for pickpocket thieves.
00:33:29
Speaker
I'm sensing a little sarcasm.
00:33:33
Speaker
Sometimes it's a struggle to find three things in this world that are done right, but I find them.
00:33:38
Speaker
This is three pro things.
00:33:40
Speaker
Number one.
00:33:43
Speaker
I spend less when I use cash.
00:33:46
Speaker
It's the act of pulling out my wallet or taking the cash out of my pocket that slows me down when deciding on a purchase, or at the very least, reminds me of what I'm spending.
00:33:55
Speaker
And this is exactly why the NWO wants you cashless.
00:34:00
Speaker
If you're not touching anything, you'll spend more.
00:34:03
Speaker
Not to mention the tracing, tracking, and controlling of your buying power.
00:34:07
Speaker
I stumbled upon MonicaSmith.com and in one of her tabs on her site, it notes that one of her campaigns is Keep Cash Alive.
00:34:16
Speaker
It says, I bet you're thinking tapping my phone, card, or smartwatch is so easy.
00:34:21
Speaker
Why would I bother using cash?
00:34:22
Speaker
It's too inconvenient.
00:34:24
Speaker
You're right.
00:34:25
Speaker
It is inconvenient.
00:34:26
Speaker
But what if it's worth the effort?
00:34:28
Speaker
It smartly mentions cash supports businesses.
00:34:32
Speaker
Cards support banks.
00:34:35
Speaker
And before I list some things on her website, how is reaching into your wallet or purse inconvenient?
00:34:42
Speaker
How lazy are you?
00:34:44
Speaker
Yeah, this is the world we live in where we want hands-free driving.
00:34:48
Speaker
We don't want to touch our shoes to slip our shoes on.
00:34:51
Speaker
We have to use Hey Siri for things.
00:34:53
Speaker
We can't even hit the button anymore to look things up.
00:34:56
Speaker
Anyway, she goes on to say, and all these are such easy, smart, common sense, valid points about why cash is better.
00:35:04
Speaker
She says businesses save money instantly on transaction fees.
00:35:09
Speaker
They have more control over their profits.
00:35:11
Speaker
If you can help save that business money, they are more likely to keep staff employed and give back to their local community.
00:35:19
Speaker
Small to medium businesses are an integral part of keeping your local economy and community thriving and growing.
00:35:26
Speaker
So then she says, so what's wrong with a cashless society?
00:35:30
Speaker
Well, for one, cash jobs on the side will no longer be an option which create economic hardship and higher debt.
00:35:37
Speaker
Tech companies have invested heavily in making electronic transactions secure, but hackers are always one step ahead.
00:35:43
Speaker
In a world of 100% electronic payments, the risk of falling victim to fraud rises significantly.
00:35:49
Speaker
If cash dies, your location and purchases will be tracked automatically.
00:35:54
Speaker
You won't be able to opt out or unsubscribe.
00:35:58
Speaker
If you are on any government funding whatsoever, they could restrict you from spending that money on certain things that the government does not condone.
00:36:06
Speaker
Cash allows you to make anonymous purchases or donations.
00:36:10
Speaker
If cash dies, there will be no such thing.
00:36:14
Speaker
I've mentioned those realities on this show before, but here's a couple items I had not considered.
00:36:20
Speaker
People in abusive situations are often financially reliant on their abuser.
00:36:24
Speaker
If cash is removed, their way out will be that much harder or close to impossible.
00:36:29
Speaker
Elderly, blind, and people with disabilities will struggle.
00:36:33
Speaker
Many people can't or don't know how to use technology.
00:36:36
Speaker
They would also be vulnerable to scams and other technological difficulties.
00:36:41
Speaker
If you want to access to funds, you will need the latest devices and software to enable payments.
00:36:46
Speaker
If you are not a very tech-savvy person, this could become a big problem.
00:36:50
Speaker
It is also extremely expensive and inconceivable for some households.
00:36:54
Speaker
You won't be able to leave your home without some sort of device.
00:36:59
Speaker
Cash protects you from being at the mercy of electronic forms of payments during power outages and looming high energy costs.
00:37:08
Speaker
This is a no-brainer, yes?
00:37:10
Speaker
Go to monicasmit, the word Monica, M-O-N-I-C-A-S-M-I-T.com, monicasmit.com slash keep hyphen cash hyphen alive.
00:37:24
Speaker
Number two.
00:37:27
Speaker
The abrupt pullout of troops in Afghanistan and thus leaving the Taliban heavily armed is one of the most egregious things President Culleran Book has done during his brief three years of his tyranny.
00:37:37
Speaker
Here is Mark Schmitz, father of Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, who was left behind to die while his father drops the hammer on Biden at a House Foreign Affairs Committee meeting live on C-SPAN regarding that horrific day that destroyed 13 American families.
00:37:56
Speaker
Let them have it.
00:37:56
Speaker
Not a single person has been held accountable.
00:37:59
Speaker
Our so-called leader can't seem to even utter their names in public, not even once.
00:38:04
Speaker
Mr. Biden has run his entire political campaign for 50 years as the family man.
00:38:08
Speaker
Well, I've got news for you, sir.
00:38:12
Speaker
The curtain has been lifting and that campaign slogan will never work again.
00:38:18
Speaker
We have seen what's going on in your family, and even worse, we've seen how you've been treating us as Gold Star families.
00:38:25
Speaker
And there couldn't be anything more disgusting and cowardly than the way you have treated us.
00:38:30
Speaker
You are a disgrace to this nation.
00:38:32
Speaker
You have no business having ultimate command over our military, and I regret not saying that to your face when I had the opportunity in Dover.
00:38:41
Speaker
I felt it more like more important to bite my tongue, but I also had more important things on my mind at that time, like receiving my son's lifeless body stateside.
00:38:53
Speaker
While I stood there on the tarmac, watching you check your watch over and over again, all I wanted to do was shout out.
00:39:02
Speaker
It's two fucking 30 asshole.
00:39:07
Speaker
But out of respect to the other grieving families, I bit my tongue once again.
00:39:12
Speaker
Well, as you can probably tell by now, I'm done biting my tongue.
00:39:16
Speaker
You, sir, stole their lives, their futures, their dreams, and have ripped apart 13 families.
00:39:24
Speaker
You cannot even man up and admit that.
00:39:29
Speaker
You, sir, gave us all the title Gold Star Family.
00:39:33
Speaker
You, sir, discredit honor and integrity.
00:39:37
Speaker
Number three.
00:39:51
Speaker
I love meat.
00:39:52
Speaker
All of it.
00:39:53
Speaker
Steak, beef, pork, lamb, duck, especially lamb and duck.
00:39:58
Speaker
I've also eaten venison, elk, wild boar, camel, goat, bison, ostrich, and my all-time but hard-to-find favorite, emu.
00:40:06
Speaker
I get all my meat from local farmers.
00:40:08
Speaker
It involves going to three different locations for it, but it's so worth it in taste, value, and good health.
00:40:14
Speaker
I saw this post from Wellness7Warrior on Instagram and it scratched me right where I itch.
00:40:20
Speaker
It had various photos touting the glory that is meat, including a picture of a beautiful flat iron steak with the caption, Supposedly this cow was farting a lot and ruining the environment.

A meme with a picture of comedian Zach Galifianakis saying, Dear vegetarians, if you're trying to save the animals, why are you eating their food?
00:40:56
Speaker
How about this picture of a steak on a barbecue grill?

This conversation between a vegan and a meat eater.
00:41:08
Speaker
The vegan says, you know, that chicken you're eating had a family.
00:41:12
Speaker
The meat eater says, that's why I ordered the family bucket.
00:41:15
Speaker
No one gets left behind.
00:41:17
Speaker
And by the way, why do vegans assume all animals had families?
00:41:21
Speaker
What, because they gave birth to another animal?
00:41:23
Speaker
If only they cared that much about human families.
00:41:26
Speaker
You know what?
00:41:27
Speaker
Bonus material time.

that appeals to all ages, this is the band for you.

Speaker
I've seen them five times and talk about a diverse crowd.

Speaker
