Speaker: The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
Speaker: It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots, attention whores, ignoramuses, dolts, clods, nimrods, douches, weirdos, drama queens, overly sensitive crybabies, and people who think they are better, more important, and special than the rest of us.
Speaker: In one word, amateurs.
Speaker: Hmm.
Speaker: It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
Speaker: A blessing from the Lord.
Speaker: God be praised.
Speaker: Oh, I'm humbled.
Speaker: We call attention to and call out the amateurs, the people who are doing life wrong, the speed bumps of life, the people that are in your way every day,
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.

Speaker: Oh, hi, Lou.

Speaker: Your Pro Post of the Week by Charlie Kirk found on Instagram.
Speaker: Joe Biden's plan for, and he put in quotation marks, winning in November.
Speaker: Buying votes with taxpayer money and calling it student loan forgiveness.
Speaker: Paying college students federal money to register voters and calling it a work-study program.
Speaker: Issuing an executive order demanding 600 federal agencies serve as part of a Democrat machine and calling it promoting access to voting.
Speaker: Opposing voter ID and signature verification measures by calling it Jim Crow 2.0.
Speaker: Importing votes by refusing to enforce our laws and calling it humane immigration policy.
Speaker: Blocking ballot access for RFK Jr. and other third-party candidates and calling it defending democracy.
Speaker: Indicting his top opponent on four separate legally unprecedented charges and calling it justice.
Speaker: Joe Biden is the biggest threat to democracy and the rule of law of any president in American history.
Speaker: Too bad amateur nation is too AOC dumb and Dylan Mulvaney crazy to get it.
Speaker: Quick follow-up to a topic I covered a few episodes back regarding the worst small-town mayor in America, Dalton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard, who thinks she's Wesley Snipes' character Nino Brown in New Jack City, thumbing her nose at the just under 21,000 populated little city's residents by living off taxpayer money, taking extravagant trips, embezzling money, and being delinquent in unpaid tabs of various city expenses to the tune of over $2 million.
Speaker: Well, some good news for that small town.
Speaker: The morons in that town, who will clearly never learn, hired former and disgraced Chicago Mayor Lori Beetlejuice Lightfoot as a special investigator to look into Tiffany Henyard's spending and finance mismanagement at the tune of $400 an hour.
Speaker: I'm sure Lori Lightfoot won't pad the bill.
Speaker: Ah!
Speaker: The lesson is, if you're ever jerked around by a criminal, hire a higher profile criminal to look into the lesser criminal.
Speaker: Do I really need to explain this episode's title?
Speaker: Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
Speaker: As we go a little something like this, hit it!
Speaker: Step one, topic number one.
Speaker: Let's start with AOC stupid.
Speaker: We all know the paralyzing threat that is climate change.
Speaker: Here's Ayesha Sadiqa, a climate advisor for the useless UN, a Pakistani-American climate justice advocate.
Speaker: She is also the co-founder of Fossil Free University and Polluters Out.
Speaker: I'm sure it's a brilliant campus, that university.
Speaker: In other words, she has no scientific background and zero facts at her disposal, but she's wearing a head covering, so naturally she's an oppressed woman.
Speaker: Here she is telling a crowd of sheep...
Speaker: Who have their hands in the pre-clap position, ready for any buzzwords and hate that will get those hands colliding into each other, at the risk of sending weak amateurs to their safe spaces because of the noise.
Speaker: But it's a risk they're willing to take, dammit.
Speaker: Here's my favorite part.
Speaker: She drops this bombshell on the pitifully-sized crowd, and they're all so AOC stupid, they miss the revelation.
Speaker: And the host has to have this amateur repeat it.
Speaker: And not only does she repeat her statement, she amends it.
Speaker: And listen to the sheep in the audience amp up their response when they hear their favorite message of hate, not even realizing the ludicrousness of her statement.
Speaker: She said it, so it must be true.
Speaker: The climate crisis is not possible.
Speaker: The climate crisis is not a result of natural disasters, it's actually man-made.
Speaker: It's a result of- I'm going to say it again because I think they missed it.
Speaker: The climate crisis is man-made.
Speaker: And it's not just man-made, it's white man-made.
Speaker: It is the result of capitalism, here's of colonialism, here's of racial oppression.
Speaker: And so, if you want to get involved, the way that we save our planet is when we protect the most vulnerable communities among us.
Speaker: And this includes black trans women, this includes indigenous peoples, and this is why it includes children and young folk.
Speaker: Because when we protect them, then we can protect everybody.
Speaker: This nobody doesn't explain how a skin color caused climate change.
Speaker: She also doesn't explain how black trans women are affected by climate change more than us regular white men who walk around clearly impervious to it.
Speaker: You know how it is.
Speaker: You visit a steel mill.
Speaker: Oh, wait.
Speaker: Does America even make steel anymore?
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: You visit an oil refi... Oh, wait.
Speaker: Do we even have those anymore?
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Wait, what pollution?
Speaker: Are we cranking out again?
Speaker: Anyway, go to a place where they make things in America and marvel at the black trans women bodies piling up outside on the sidewalk.
Speaker: The country's gone to hell.
Speaker: I move, we secede.
Speaker: Only white men did climate change, whatever that may be.
Speaker: Not white women, men.
Speaker: Women never contributed to pollution and no other races of men.
Speaker: Here comes a major truth bomb.
Speaker: I suggest you have a pen and paper ready or record this upcoming audio onto your phone.
Speaker: Here's commie Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee speaking to high schoolers with this information, among other astronomy fun facts, that the sun is hot.
Speaker: And sometimes you've heard the word full moon.
Speaker: Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases.
Speaker: And that's why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon?
Speaker: The gas is such that we could do that.
Speaker: The sun is a mighty powerful heat that is almost impossible to go near the sun.
Speaker: The moon is more manageable.
Speaker: And you will see in a moment, or not a moment, you'll see in a couple of years that NASA is going back to the moon.
Speaker: If your brain were a drug, I'd snort the shit out of it.
Speaker: This is the Democrat Party.
Speaker: They represent your vote, your intelligence, your needs, your feelings, amateurs.
Speaker: And you're okay with that.
Speaker: You think a person who is in Congress should keep his or her job being that stupid.
Speaker: That's normal to you.
Speaker: So, in review for the quiz, a full moon is round.
Speaker: The moon is apparently made of gases, and the sun is hot.
Speaker: This isn't, well, Lou, come on, that was taken out of context.
Speaker: Or, well, that's a typical Biden rambling, or, well, that's a typical Kamala Harris word salad.
Speaker: This is real, honest to goodness, I ain't getting no good education.
Speaker: Men must be embarrassing to be that stupid.
Speaker: Stupid.
Speaker: Let's keep the Dumb Dumb Express rolling.
Speaker: Here's one of Amateur Nation's favorite mental voids, Kamala.
Speaker: Who doesn't love a yellow schoolboy?
Speaker: Harris with an absolute falsehood.
Speaker: Now, the falsehood itself is not at the moon is made of gases level, but the best part is how she sells it, as if the world didn't know this information, nor could we look it up.
Speaker: But as many alert pros commented on this clip found on Instagram, it's like she was told this information seconds before she stupidly opened up her opportunistic mouth, if you know what I mean.
Speaker: Here's the vice president, second in command in America.
Speaker: talking about women's college hoops during March Madness.
Speaker: Kinda.
Speaker: Do you know, okay, a bit of a history lesson, do you know that women were not, the women's teams were not allowed to have brackets until 2022?
Speaker: Think about that and what that talk about progress, you know, better late than never, but progress.
Speaker: And what that has done, because, of course, when, you know, I had a bracket, it's not broken completely, but I won't talk about my bracket.
Speaker: But, you know, just how we love March Madness.
Speaker: And even just now allowing the women to have brackets and what that does to encourage people to talk more about the women's teams, to watch them.
Speaker: Now they're being covered.
Speaker: You know, and this is the reality.
Speaker: People used to say, oh, women's sports, who's interested?
Speaker: Well, if you can't see it, you won't be.
Speaker: But when you see it, you realize, oh.
Speaker: A. Brackets for women's college basketball started in 1982, only off by 40 years.
Speaker: B. Why would the women's teams not be allowed to have brackets?
Speaker: What does it have to do with the difference between men's and women's college hoops?
Speaker: C. Now women's college basketball is being covered?
Speaker: What's next, a professional women's basketball league?
Speaker: We're done with this jackass festival.
Speaker: Sidebar.
Speaker: Kamala Harris, and yet another example of accusing your enemies of exactly what you're doing, said that if Trump is reelected, he, quote, intends to weaponize the Department of Justice against his enemies and that, quote, he openly talks about his admiration for dictators and vowed to be a dictator on day one.
Speaker: Unlike Trudeau's expressed admiration for Xi Jinping in China.
Speaker: In fact, here's audio of Barack Okami, this time again, accusing enemies of exactly what the Democrat Party is currently doing.
Speaker: You just have to flood a country's public square with enough raw sewage.
Speaker: You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe in.
Speaker: Once they lose trust in their leaders, in mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of truth, the game's won.
Speaker: It's more of a conspiracy.
Speaker: And now this.
Speaker: And now for step two.
Speaker: Topic number two.
Speaker: Now let's dive into some Dylan Mulvaney crazy in Amateur Nation.
Speaker: Here's blackish star actress Jennifer Lewis spouting off on some podcast showcasing her Trump derangement syndrome.
Speaker: As soon as he takes the oath, he will have generals walk down the steps of the Capitol.
Speaker: He will take a hammer and break the glass where the Constitution is, and he will tear it up in our faces and say now...
Speaker: I'm the king of the fucking world.
Speaker: You will bow down, bitches.
Speaker: He will punish everybody that didn't vote for him.
Speaker: Let me tell y'all how I know this shit.
Speaker: I know it because I know what mental illness looks like.
Speaker: That mania is unstoppable.
Speaker: See, this motherfucker's Hitler.
Speaker: He didn't come to play.
Speaker: Slow down with all those facts, Professor.
Speaker: Everyone gather round.
Speaker: This woman has admitted to having mental illness in the past and screamed what she thinks will happen on a podcast when Trump wins.
Speaker: It is now truth.
Speaker: Can't you picture it?
Speaker: Trump's generals marching down the steps as soon as he takes the oath.
Speaker: Trump walking around with a hammer.
Speaker: Make no mistake, this is one of two things.
Speaker: One, the scenario she paints is what her crazy brain imagines.
Speaker: Or two, this is what she wishes she could do.
Speaker: Also, the Constitution is behind bulletproof glass.
Speaker: Dolt.
Speaker: I've seen it.
Speaker: I don't think a hammer will get it done.
Speaker: And nice finale with the Hitler reference.
Speaker: Now you're just trying to piss me off.
Speaker: Although you might be thinking of Biden since he is the one persecuting and prosecuting his political opponents and supporters.
Speaker: But that's a minor detail, I guess.
Speaker: She was right about one thing.
Speaker: MAGA is unstoppable.
Speaker: Now, I realize that everyone in America, that is, everyone that is a legal citizen in America, has a right to their opinion.
Speaker: But the idea that any sane American would put any stock, weight, or credence into her hateful, speculative feelings is sad.
Speaker: But expected by Amateur Nation.
Speaker: I also realize Amateur Nation's emotions and feelings, which, let's step that back a second, all of Amateur Nation's feelings are really one feeling.
Speaker: Hate.
Speaker: That hate comes out in the form of riots, looting, crying from the seat of their Nissan Leads and their TikTok videos, and an absolute unhinged rage.
Speaker: I don't see a lot of feelings about love, tolerance, rights, safety, self-responsibility, accountability, just hate.
Speaker: The only emotion amateur nation has is hate.
Speaker: They can spot off all they want about DEI, fairness, love, tolerance, acceptance, pride, inclusion, equality, etc.
Speaker: When in fact, amateur nation wakes up every day with things they simply hate about the other side.
Speaker: Their side is filled with AOC dumb and Dylan Mulvaney crazy.
Speaker: Now, I know it was on Easter, stupidly, but ladies and gentlemen... Attention all fairy tale things!
Speaker: Here is the founder of Transgender Day of Visibility.
Speaker: It's actually two clips together of this sad sack, and while you can't see him, without any exaggeration, picture Danny DeVito when Batman returns as the Penguin, dead on.
Speaker: Play the Penguin clip, please.
Speaker: And no, I'm not making fun of his stutter, but can I make fun of his attire and speaking skills?
Speaker: Now, pardon the audio, but what do you expect from amateurs?
Speaker: I didn't post it.
Speaker: Hi, I'm Rachel Crandall Parker.
Speaker: And I'm executive director of Transgender Michigan.
Speaker: And I am founder and organizer of the International Transgender Day of Visibility.
Speaker: And I want to share with you how that all happened.
Speaker: I am very...
Speaker: This was 20 years ago.
Speaker: I could not find a job.
Speaker: I ended up going in business myself.
Speaker: If anyone is looking for the best person
Speaker: You will what?
Speaker: Finish that thought?
Speaker: How and why are people in a room listening to this simpleton?
Speaker: Dylan Mulvaney crazy take three in a, you know, it's time to hire a new attorney.
Speaker: When type story from the New York post transgender attorney, Stephanie Mueller, 70 puts on busty display in skin tight outfit during court hearing.
Speaker: Here's the article.
Speaker: A 70 year old transgender attorney is turning heads in a Washington state shocker courtroom after he showed up in a highly questionable outfit to defend a client.
Speaker: Stephanie Mueller appeared before a Seattle court Thursday, sporting a low-cut blue top that accentuated the lawyer's surgically enhanced breasts.
Speaker: Matching the top with skin-tight black leather pants and boots, Mueller also wore an excessive amount of makeup, including dark green eyeshadow and flamboyant fake lashes, as she represented one of the far-left activists charged with disrupting a council meeting in February.
Speaker: Mueller's client, Iris Boardman, is charged with first-degree criminal trespassing.
Speaker: In a social media post, he said, Since I came out as an openly transgendered attorney, I bring diversity to the practice of a law, and I am a role model for the transgendered community.
Speaker: No, you're a disgrace to the law community.
Speaker: Now, I realize this is an audio podcast, but I urge you to Google transgender attorney Stephanie Mueller or look for the New York Post article about him.
Speaker: I don't think there's any doubt about it.
Speaker: He should be placed in a mental institution.
Speaker: Can you, amateur nation, really look at this person and read his quotes and think, no mental illness here?
Speaker: Can you say that this man at age 70 looks at himself in the mirror with bizarre yellow plastic shower curtain ring looking earrings, ridiculously large boob implants, overly done clownish makeup, fried hair and disrespectful courtroom attire and say to yourself that this man is completely sane?
Speaker: Let's get past the whatever makes him happy.
Speaker: You do you.
Speaker: Remember that Coke slogan?
Speaker: To hell with societal rules and norms, bring on the bigger-than-Dolly Parton-titted, clown-faced senior citizen lawyer.
Speaker: This is our world now.
Speaker: You're okay with that?
Speaker: Yeah, until you need a lawyer, and this one represents you.
Speaker: Or goes up against you and curries the favor of the corrupt justice system, and verdicts are swayed in a virtue signaling this trial of justice.
Speaker: It's official.
Speaker: Any progress made by the gay and or trans community over past decades has been ruined in just a few years by mentally ill people claiming to be E-Wins, everyone who was not straight.
Speaker: If I were gay, I'd find my way right back into the closet until the mentally ill amateurs stopped playing pretend and stop acting like they speak for all homosexuals.
Speaker: Think about that.
Speaker: For as long as I've been alive, members of the gay community have fought to simply be treated like everyone else, wanting equal rights and simply wanting to live peacefully among the rest of the Ewins without being harassed.
Speaker: I don't think that's too much to ask, but no.
Speaker: The freak show contingency, for some reason, thinks that their purple-haired, multiple-piercing, constantly crying, chronically oppressed, safe-space-seeking, we-demand-a-daily-celebration that is the wonder of our mental illness ruined it for the regular...
Speaker: gay American population.
Speaker: Have you commented, left a review, subscribed yet?
Speaker: Please do.
Speaker: And share the show.
Speaker: I post short clips throughout the week so you get a taste of what's coming.
Speaker: And Thursdays, you get a trailer with all the upcoming week's topics of discussion on Sneak Peek Thursday.
Speaker: You can find all my social media links and email directly at my website, lusantini.com.
Speaker: A la carte and three pro things are on the way.
Speaker: But first, how did Amateur Nation get to be so AOC stupid and Dylan Mulvaney crazy?
Speaker: One way, coming up on topic number three next.
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.
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.
Speaker: Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
Speaker: Together, we remember them all.
Speaker: There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
Speaker: A sense of entitlement.
Speaker: A constant need for attention.
Speaker: Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
Speaker: A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
Speaker: Stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

Speaker: He's a great host.
Speaker: He's a real MC.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: Now step three.
Speaker: Topic number three.
Speaker: Hit me.
Speaker: Where does all this AOC stupid and Dylan Mulvaney crazy come from?
Speaker: How'd we get here?
Speaker: Listen to this news story from the Epoch Times.
Speaker: Can you do me a favor?
Speaker: Play the bribery clip, please.
Speaker: The California activist group is paying high school students $1,400 each to become racial and social justice activists.
Speaker: That's according to contracts between the group and the Long Beach Unified School District.
Speaker: The school district used nearly $2 million in taxpayer funds from 2019 to 2023 to pay a group called Californians for Justice.
Speaker: News outlet, the free press, reported the money was used for equity and diversity leadership training for students and teachers.
Speaker: The group's website says it advocated for implementing restorative justice practices in the district's 84 schools.
Speaker: The group gave a one-time stipend of $1,400 to 78 students who participated in the group's programs and gave out over $20,000 to 13 parents who participated in the program from 2019 to 2024.
Speaker: The group's website states its leadership development programs operate with a focus on low-income youth, youth of color, LGBT youth, foster youth, and immigrant youth.
Speaker: And there it is.
Speaker: Buying and programming a new generation of commies.
Speaker: Name one amateur millennial teenager that would turn down $1,400.
Speaker: Name one parent of an amateur millennial teenager that would turn down $20,000.
Speaker: This is illegal.
Speaker: This is bribery.
Speaker: This is programming.
Speaker: This is communism.
Speaker: How do I know this is wrong?
Speaker: Pretend that Republicans paid their school students and their families $21,400 total to be ambassadors to the party.
Speaker: I can hear it now.
Speaker: That's unfair.
Speaker: Once again, the wealthiest families prosper.
Speaker: Right?
Speaker: Despite the fact that it's the Democrat families that are the wealthiest in this country.
Speaker: They control the wealth and they have the wealth by stealing it via taxes from legal middle class American citizens of all colors.
Speaker: I admire your honesty.
Speaker: Hell, I like you.
Speaker: You can come over to my house and fuck my sister.
Speaker: As someone who not only lived in L.A.
Speaker: for 24 years, but was a motivational speaker for about a year in the L.A.
Speaker: Unified School District and seeing firsthand the deplorable condition of the schools, the way oversized classes, sometimes over 100 kids, the lax security, the fat and sugar filled fast food food courts, the metal detectors in place.
Speaker: This is how they spend two million dollars in tax money.
Speaker: By bribing students.
Speaker: To be shills from the Democrat Party?
Speaker: Shouldn't tax money benefit all students, not just a handful of morally bankrupt and or financially desperate kids and families?
Speaker: LA is such a godless place.
Speaker: A la carte, when you just want to have bite-sized poking fun at Amateur Nation.
Speaker: Here we go.
Speaker: Well, apparently the little rascals have taken over Boeing's operation as yet another engine part fell off during a Southwest flight takeoff.
Speaker: Fucking amateur hour, man.
Speaker: CNBC reported that 25% of Gen Zers say they'll need a therapist to deal with tax filing stress.
Speaker: And 54% said filing taxes has either brought them to tears in the past or expect to this year.
Speaker: Question.
Speaker: Since Gen Zers get student debt forgiveness, i.e.
Speaker: buying votes through bribery, doesn't that count as income?
Speaker: That's taxable, yes?
Speaker: These are facts.
Speaker: You can't refute facts.
Speaker: American financial wellness alert.
Speaker: Costco is selling as much as $200 million a month in gold bar sales.
Speaker: The number of young adults living with their parents is the highest since 1940.
Speaker: According to Moody's, the typical American household needs to spend $445 more a month for the same crap as a year ago.
Speaker: A year ago.
Speaker: And according to NerdWallet, Americans spent over $113 billion on lottery tickets last year, more than they spent on movies, books, concerts, and sports tickets.
Speaker: This sounds like the behavior of a country that has been built back better, right?
Speaker: I'm sensing a little sarcasm.
Speaker: Host of The View, predator lookalike Whoopi, ignore the cultural appropriation of my real name being Karen Goldberg.
Speaker: I'm so sick of Whoopi.
Speaker: Me too.
Speaker: Said abortion isn't included in the Ten Commandments, so have at it.
Speaker: Look at the big legal brain on Karen.
Speaker: Issue solved.
Speaker: Funny how amateurs never bring up the Bible or God until they think they have a cogent argument, which, do they ever have one?
Speaker: How many ways are there for me to say, shut the fuck up?
Speaker: Dear Amateur Nation, so the only way to not be phobic about something is to praise it, celebrate it, and go along with whatever it is.
Speaker: Otherwise, you're phobic or you're against it?
Speaker: Go fuck yourself.
Speaker: Coming to your town soon!
Speaker: Haitian illegal drain on American society, Nivenson Sarazin, was arrested in Florida after admitting to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.
Speaker: He'd also been charged with sexual battery on a minor.
Speaker: Battery on a child by throwing, tossing, projecting, or expelling bodily fluids or materials and possession of child porn.
Speaker: Children!
Speaker: I love children!
Speaker: But who will pick our crops now?
Speaker: And what are his pronouns?
Speaker: Or did I do a phobia by saying him?
Speaker: I know sometimes things in America look bleak, but the main thing is, here's when you start to get worried.
Speaker: When I can't find three pro things, three things, three each week that are done right.
Speaker: Here we go.
Speaker: This is number one.
Speaker: This pro thing scratches me right where I itch.
Speaker: Posted by TodayIsAmerica on Instagram, here we have a young, thin man trolling a fat queer club Zoom meeting where he is identifying as a fat queer person.
Speaker: And the nation founded on tolerance and acceptance isn't buying it.
Speaker: Picture the saddest group of five fat queer people on a Zoom meeting being forced to tolerate this pro's, albeit fake, feelings.
Speaker: This is a queer fat club.
Speaker: I'm queer and fat.
Speaker: Okay, thank you for joining.
Speaker: We're just introducing ourselves at the moment.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Do you want to go ahead and introduce yourself, Joe?
Speaker: Yeah, my name's Joe.
Speaker: I go by he, they, and I identify as 275 pounds.
Speaker: Okay, okay.
Speaker: I feel like Jay's kind of making fun of me, though.
Speaker: I know it's kind of a shock.
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: Kind of a new thing.
Speaker: I'm listening to my mom.
Speaker: Do what?
Speaker: I said I apologize.
Speaker: Oh, no, you're good.
Speaker: Are you comfortable leaving the group at the moment?
Speaker: Why?
Speaker: I'm not understanding why you're joining the group.
Speaker: This is the queer and fat group now.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's what I came here for.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: And you said you identify as fat?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: This is just for fat-bodied people.
Speaker: Yeah, I understand.
Speaker: I identify as a fat-bodied person.
Speaker: I'm not understanding where you're coming from.
Speaker: Are you guys comfortable with me here?
Speaker: I mean, I'm pretty chill on my end.
Speaker: I'm not comfortable, no.
Speaker: Can we take, like, a vote?
Speaker: My only wish is to hear what this sad group of five fat queer people can possibly talk about for any length of time.
Speaker: It's got to be the most pitiful conversation ever.
Speaker: I may just have to look to do something like this myself for a future episode.
Speaker: Now, here is what I took from that, and listen carefully, especially if you have an amateur in your life whose skull is impenetrable with truth and or facts.
Speaker: This young man absolutely debunked any and all identify as crap.
Speaker: He clearly is thin.
Speaker: I'm assuming he's not gay since he perpetrated this troll on this group.
Speaker: Where's the acceptance?
Speaker: The tolerance?
Speaker: How is this thin, straight man identifying as fat and gay any different than Dylan Mulvaney putting on a dress, makeup, and a wig?
Speaker: Delusion doesn't have exceptions.
Speaker: By amateur nation standards, I should be able to walk into the White House and say, I'm the president, right?
Speaker: Hey, look, if a man with a beard can shave said beard in front of women and children at planet fatness without question because he identifies as a woman and we just have to take him at his word, then all people should be taken at whatever they say.
Speaker: The second amateurs pick and choose what reality is and having that reality change on a dime despite what 7,999,999,999 other people on the planet may have to say about your reality is.
Speaker: You've lost all arguments about sexual and gender identity.
Speaker: Well done, young man.
Speaker: And pro thing number two.
Speaker: Since today's theme is AOC dumb and Dylan Mulvaney crazy, let's get a final dose of dumb.
Speaker: Here we have a stereotypical millennial full of feelings about his world and his world only pretending to be an expert, despite what he says, until he's questioned about anything.
Speaker: despite the questions being about things he actually said by absolute pro Louisiana Senator John Kennedy.
Speaker: And there is your pro thing number two.
Speaker: Listen to this young man, who shall remain unnamed and unfamous, trying to activate both of his brain cells and avoiding answering any questions.
Speaker: All he knows is, I like snow.
Speaker: I like turtles.
Speaker: As someone who has made his career in public speaking, you could always tell someone's level of integrity, honesty, and conviction in their words by how their sentences end.
Speaker: Do they go up like a question?
Speaker: Or is there a good amount of vocal fry as you trail off?
Speaker: Play the dunce clip, please.
Speaker: Mr. Schumacher, welcome.
Speaker: Who invited you here today?
Speaker: I came with Protect Our Winters.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: But you're here on behalf of the Democrats or the Republicans?
Speaker: I'm here on behalf of the outdoor enthusiasts around America.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: You were contacted by Senator Whitehouse's staff?
Speaker: I personally came with Protect Our Winters, so I don't know about that one.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: What is carbon dioxide?
Speaker: I went to high school, but that's... Carbon dioxide is a gas.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I'm not a...
Speaker: I'm not a professional to talk about carbon dioxide so much, but... Well, you want us to abolish it, right?
Speaker: No, there's always going to be carbon dioxide.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: So what is it you want us to do?
Speaker: Let me back up, because I want to... I mean, you're here as an expert.
Speaker: Tell me more about what carbon dioxide is.
Speaker: I'm here as an expert cross-country skier who sees the changes in my winters and the landscape that I live in in Alaska.
Speaker: And so carbon dioxide is what I see it as is, you know, it's a gas that exists in our atmosphere.
Speaker: Is it a major part of our atmosphere?
Speaker: It's a huge part of our atmosphere, yeah.
Speaker: It's actually a very small part of our atmosphere.
Speaker: Well, okay.
Speaker: But, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker: What are you asking specifically?
Speaker: How about?
Speaker: Well, you said we need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Speaker: I'd like to know first if you know what it is.
Speaker: You want us to abolish fossil fuels?
Speaker: I never said that.
Speaker: You never have said that?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: What do you think we ought to do with fossil fuels?
Speaker: What will we do with fossil fuels?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Should we make any changes?
Speaker: I would like to see a decrease in the use of fossil fuels.
Speaker: I think there's a possibility to use more electric generation.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Over what period of time?
Speaker: 10 years, 50 years, 100 years?
Speaker: That's not... I would like to see it come as fast as possible while continuing... How fast?
Speaker: Sorry?
Speaker: How fast?
Speaker: I don't have a... You don't know?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: You just think, well...
Speaker: How much will it cost for us to become carbon neutral in the United States by 2050?
Speaker: I'm not a professional on that.
Speaker: You don't have any idea?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: You just think we ought to spend the money?
Speaker: I'm not an economist.
Speaker: Yeah, but it's going to cost money.
Speaker: You realize that.
Speaker: Yeah, but we've also talked about the trade-off of what the cost of climate change as emergencies will cost in the future also.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: But it's going to cost trillions of dollars to become carbon neutral by 2050, right?
Speaker: I do not know.
Speaker: You don't know?
Speaker: You just think we ought to do it?
Speaker: I don't have a great answer for you, but I think...
Speaker: If we spent those trillions of dollars and became carbon neutral by 2050 in the United States, which you advocate, how much will it reduce world temperatures?
Speaker: I don't have an answer for that.
Speaker: You don't know?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: You just think we're able to spend the money and then see what happens?
Speaker: I think as an athlete, I think if we spend that money and invest in our future, hopefully those...
Speaker: temperatures stop rising and maybe the snow at least stabilizes where it is for me.
Speaker: But yeah, I don't think anyone knows for sure.
Speaker: I don't know anyway.
Speaker: Well, when my colleagues invite witnesses to come to us to tell us, advise us on passing legislation, I always check out the background of our witnesses because I'd like to know who I'm talking to.
Speaker: I checked yours out, Dr. Schumacher, and I want to be sure I understand it as I evaluate your testimony.
Speaker: On June 8, 2020, you tweeted, I'm going to quote,
Speaker: The war on drugs was intentionally created to incarcerate black people en masse.
Speaker: End quote.
Speaker: The war on drugs, you said, was intentionally created to incarcerate black people en masse.
Speaker: Who intentionally created the war on drugs to put black people in jail?
Speaker: Who were you talking about?
Speaker: I don't remember typing that.
Speaker: You don't?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: It's on your Twitter feed.
Speaker: Maybe a retweet.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I haven't used that in a while.
Speaker: Well, even if it's a retweet, it shows your support, right?
Speaker: Maybe, yeah.
Speaker: But it's not the topic of this conversation.
Speaker: Right, right.
Speaker: But it has to do with you're here giving us advice, and I'd just kind of like to know a little bit more about you.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, I'm here as an athlete giving you my story and what I've seen in my view.
Speaker: On August 27th of 2020...
Speaker: You tweeted this, quote, I'm going to quote, police are paid with taxpayer dollars.
Speaker: If they are not answerable to us, we can demand new service.
Speaker: And that's what this is.
Speaker: Abolish the police in favor of that new service.
Speaker: End quote.
Speaker: You think we ought to abolish the police, do you?
Speaker: Again, not the topic I'm here to talk about today.
Speaker: I know, but you tweeted it.
Speaker: Do you think we ought to abolish the police?
Speaker: That's not what I'm here to talk about.
Speaker: Should we do that before or after we get rid of fossil fuels?
Speaker: address that yeah yeah i want to address it okay uh let me ask you about one more of your tweets on august 26 2020 you tweeted there's a picture i'm not going to describe the picture but you said quote your words not mine it's on your twitter feed that quote this is what systemic racism looks like the los angeles police department is literally policing only the black lives matter side end quote what do you mean by that
Speaker: This is still off topic.
Speaker: No, it's not.
Speaker: You're here as an expert telling us, advising us, and I'm asking you about your background.
Speaker: I'm here as an athlete to talk about the effects of climate change on my sport.
Speaker: Shut up.
Speaker: Just shut up.
Speaker: He doesn't get it.
Speaker: And pro thing number three.
Speaker: Ready to say, aww.
Speaker: From People Magazine, this.
Speaker: High school sweethearts rekindle romance seven decades later.
Speaker: And can't stop cuddling.
Speaker: We're like teenagers.
Speaker: Here's the article.
Speaker: Michigan high school sweethearts Bill Hassinger and Joanne Blacken were sent to the principal's office for smooching on the bus, and more than 70 years later, they've picked up from where they started.
Speaker: Before they reconnected, 92-year-old Joanne Blacken had heard through mutual friends that Bill Hassinger, 90, was living in a nearby city and had retired as a lieutenant colonel from the Michigan State Police.
Speaker: Hassinger had taken her to the prom, but they hadn't had any connection with each other since she graduated in 1949 and left to go to college at Michigan State.
Speaker: Since then, she married and had three children before her husband died in 1989.
Speaker: Meanwhile, Hassinger joined the military, married a classmate, had three children, two of whom have since passed away, and was widowed in 2021 after 68 years of marriage.
Speaker: Blacken says, we went our separate ways.
Speaker: I had lived alone all this time, and I certainly wasn't looking for love or a man.
Speaker: I was content, but he was always in the back of my mind.
Speaker: I loved that young boy.
Speaker: Joanne and her daughter Linda were looking up old classmates in 2022 for a 73rd reunion when Blacken started wondering what had happened to her old flame, and she thought she would contact him to reminisce and catch up.
Speaker: After chatting on the phone, the two met for lunch.
Speaker: Hassinger laughs and says, She didn't look anything like I remembered her 73 years ago.
Speaker: I guess life will do that to you.
Speaker: But age had not dimmed at the sparkle in her eyes and her vivacious spirit.
Speaker: At heart, she was still the high school majorette he remembered.
Speaker: We just went back to the same feelings for each other, Hassinger said.
Speaker: We're just as much and more in love today than we were when we were teenagers.
Speaker: Linda says that growing up, her mom never mentioned Hassinger to her, but she remembered seeing a sparkly green bracelet in her mom's jewelry box as a child.
Speaker: And the first time she met Hassinger, they came to her house to watch a Michigan State football game, and Blacken was wearing the bracelet.
Speaker: Then she learned that Hassinger had given it to her for her birthday when they were in high school.
Speaker: Hassinger still has his home about 80 miles from Blacken's, but they're pondering their future, whether it be moving in together in one home or a new retirement complex.
Speaker: We play a lot of cards like cribbage, gin, and we work puzzles, Hassinger says, but most of the time we just enjoy each other's company.
Speaker: What they do know is that they want to spend what's left of their lives together.
Speaker: No one knows how much time you have, Blacken says.
Speaker: Both of us are in reasonably good health for our age and mentally alert, so we want to enjoy our time here.
Speaker: Here comes my favorite part.
Speaker: It said, like every couple, the pair have also mastered the art of compromise.
Speaker: Blacken insists on walking at least a mile every day, but says he's not quite as enthused about it as I am.
Speaker: Hassinger laughs and says, walking is just a medium to get from one place to another, and I don't necessarily have to walk every day to remember how to do it.
Speaker: But I walk because she likes to do it.
Speaker: And I like being with her.
