Amateur Nation Podcast Introduction
00:01:17
Speaker
Warning.
00:01:18
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:23
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:01:30
Speaker
Attention whores, ignoramacists, dolts, clods, nimrods, douches, weirdos, drama queens, overly sensitive crybabies, and people who think they are better, more important, and special than the rest of us.
00:01:40
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:42
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:44
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:47
Speaker
You fucking Joe Biden?
00:01:48
Speaker
God, no.
00:01:49
Speaker
I just said I'm Lou Santini.
00:01:51
Speaker
You see, this is the podcast where 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.
00:02:02
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-whoring, self-entitled drama queen victim types who chip away at the moments of your life due to no self-awareness, common sense, manners, or social skills and are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:02:16
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:17
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:17
Speaker
Amateur Nation.
00:02:18
Speaker
It's not just a podcast.
00:02:20
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:02:21
Speaker
And this is episode 238.
00:02:22
Speaker
Now with 50% more disinformation.
00:02:27
Speaker
Pro Nation first, shouts out to Jimmy Honeycutt, Buster Lovenberg on Instagram at lou.santini3, and Anastasia Chirukina, 1307 Watcher and Megan Alexander, and Liam Connect, all following me on Truth Social, at lou.santini, and MPG Rugez on YouTube, also at lou.santini.
00:02:52
Speaker
Here is your post of the week from Jack Posobiec.
00:02:56
Speaker
Epstein has been dead for four years, and no one in Hollywood has suggested making a movie or streaming series about him.
00:03:06
Speaker
Why is that?
00:03:08
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:03:10
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:03:12
Speaker
Step one.
00:03:14
Speaker
Topic number
Critique of Lateness and Accountability
00:03:15
Speaker
one.
00:03:15
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:03:18
Speaker
Do you suffer from time blindness?
00:03:20
Speaker
I mean, are you a rude, chronically late amateur?
00:03:23
Speaker
Well, I guess it's time for a special day, week, or month to celebrate your affliction.
00:03:27
Speaker
It's time for Amateur Nation to rally against the on-timists, for you deserve special consideration.
00:03:35
Speaker
I have been made fun of, often, for being very organized and scheduled.
00:03:41
Speaker
You see, as a freelancer that is a self-employed person for about 15 plus years or so, I've always felt that it's that much more important to treat my career and day-to-day business dealings, administrative work, research, writing, performing, etc.
00:03:56
Speaker
to be detail-oriented and organized.
00:03:59
Speaker
I can't complain about being broke or not getting work or opportunities if I lounge around in my jammies all day and don't adhere to some kind of daily and weekly schedule.
00:04:08
Speaker
It's what makes this podcast the beacon of hope for pro-nation that it is.
00:04:12
Speaker
I had a friend back in Los Angeles who got seriously mad when his clients were late to meetings, citing it as a form of passive aggressiveness, to which I agree.
00:04:21
Speaker
I've left dates hanging at restaurants and or at their homes when I either met them for a date or to pick them up when they are very late or chronically late.
00:04:30
Speaker
It's entitlement, as in their time is more valuable than yours.
00:04:34
Speaker
And sure, cars break down, traffic happens, medical emergencies, the unforeseen.
00:04:38
Speaker
But in most cases, a simple courteous call or text alleviates the problem.
00:04:44
Speaker
Now, I'd like to read to you briefly a section from my book, Amateur Nation, The Decline of Common Sense Manners and Social Skills.
00:04:51
Speaker
You can download it on Amazon, very reasonably priced.
00:04:55
Speaker
And it says this,
00:04:57
Speaker
Let's talk about amateurs who are chronically late.
00:05:02
Speaker
All of us are late now and then due to traffic, slow-moving kids we need to wrangle, work keeping us in the office, illness, oversleeping, losing track of time, etc.
00:05:10
Speaker
It happens.
00:05:11
Speaker
We're human.
00:05:12
Speaker
I'm about to put the smackdown on the amateurs who are chronically late.
00:05:19
Speaker
If you're known to always be late, or you yourself admit, I'm always late, and laughingly say, I was late for my own birth and I'll be late for my funeral, well, you're a complete amateur.
00:05:29
Speaker
Stupid plus obnoxious times rude divided by entitled and inconsiderate equals amateur.
00:05:37
Speaker
And as I've mentioned in my book, you only need at least two of those factors to be an amateur of any degree.
00:05:42
Speaker
Being chronically late includes all five factors.
00:05:47
Speaker
Let's run them down.
00:05:48
Speaker
Stupid?
00:05:49
Speaker
Check.
00:05:50
Speaker
In this day and age of clocks and alarms on everything, including phones and home AI devices, computers and old-fashioned watches and clocks, you're simply stupid if you're chronically late.
00:06:02
Speaker
Well, there is traffic.
00:06:03
Speaker
There are dozens of apps that let you know where to drive and where not to drive.
00:06:08
Speaker
It was really hard getting the kids in the car.
00:06:10
Speaker
Plan your life.
00:06:11
Speaker
It ain't the first time you've put kids in the car.
00:06:13
Speaker
I just, I lost track of time.
00:06:15
Speaker
Set an alarm.
00:06:17
Speaker
Obnoxious?
00:06:18
Speaker
Check.
00:06:19
Speaker
Especially if the amateur is late for a group function where everyone else, all the other pros, planned their lives, took their time, got organized, and showed up on time.
00:06:28
Speaker
Prove to me and the group how your time is more valuable than mine and ours, and I'll drop it.
00:06:33
Speaker
It's not.
00:06:34
Speaker
You're an amateur.
00:06:35
Speaker
You're not special.
00:06:37
Speaker
Rude?
00:06:38
Speaker
Oh, fuck it, eh?
00:06:38
Speaker
Self-explanatory.
00:06:39
Speaker
See everything I said above.
00:06:42
Speaker
Entitled, in a passive-aggressive way, it tells the other pro or pros that your time is more valuable and that you don't value the other person's time.
00:06:53
Speaker
And finally, we have inconsiderate.
00:06:56
Speaker
Yes, it ticks the box.
00:06:58
Speaker
Most pros could be reasonable with giving a 5 or 10 minute cushion.
00:07:02
Speaker
You start creeping around that 20 minute mark, or if an amateur is always 10 to 15 minutes behind, that's a you problem, not a pros have to adjust problem.
00:07:13
Speaker
The regular excuses such as, oh, I didn't see your text.
00:07:16
Speaker
Considering just about everyone checks their phones at least, what, four times an hour?
00:07:20
Speaker
Probably ten times that?
00:07:22
Speaker
Or, I lost track of time.
00:07:23
Speaker
Unless you were meditating on a rock somewhere in the wilderness, I ain't buying it.
00:07:27
Speaker
And, I forgot, meaning you're not worth remembering.
00:07:31
Speaker
All fall under the category of amateur.
00:07:36
Speaker
Disrespecting someone else's time is dismissive and unprofessional in every sense of the word.
00:07:41
Speaker
It is amateur to leave someone hanging.
00:07:43
Speaker
In the entertainment business, the rule is, if you're not 10 minutes early, you're late.
00:07:48
Speaker
Sending a text that you're behind schedule is better than dealing with the awkwardness of dealing with the unspoken tension of arriving late with no explanation.
00:07:57
Speaker
Get your shit together, amateurs.
00:07:59
Speaker
And for the pros who keep putting up with the people who are always late, walk away.
00:08:03
Speaker
Cut them loose.
00:08:04
Speaker
Let them be someone else's problem.
00:08:06
Speaker
Funny how these amateurs are never late for their paying job, but you, their friend, they can jerk around.
00:08:12
Speaker
I dated a woman for a couple months a long, long time ago who was an hour late the very first time we went out.
00:08:18
Speaker
And a minimum of 60 to 90 minutes late for the next half dozen times.
00:08:23
Speaker
I put up with it on our first date because it was her first time coming to my place to meet before we went to dinner and my place can be tricky to find.
00:08:30
Speaker
Not to mention she had to drive 35 miles in LA traffic which could take 35 minutes or 3 hours.
00:08:36
Speaker
I had known this woman for about 12 years, so I waited and was patient.
00:08:40
Speaker
The second time it happened, her work kept her late, which is understandable, and she texted me a heads up.
00:08:45
Speaker
The third time, it was raining, and in Los Angeles, that's a sign of the apocalypse, and you should automatically double your travel time, regardless of the distance or time of day.
00:08:54
Speaker
But by the fourth time, I was getting impatient and mad.
00:08:58
Speaker
Rather than a heartfelt apology and a little sucking up which would have sufficed, I got the saw-wee via text and the absurd excuse of, I'm always late because I'm fancy.
00:09:10
Speaker
Instantly, the countdown to ending this farce began, and two dates later, it was done.
00:09:18
Speaker
Amateurs...
00:09:19
Speaker
Your time is no more important than anyone else's.
00:09:22
Speaker
And if you're late, be a pro and apologize and mean it.
00:09:26
Speaker
If you're chronically late, you're an amateur and you get your shit together, rookie.
00:09:31
Speaker
Little excerpt from my book, Amateur Nation, The Decline of Common Sense Manners and Social Skills.
00:09:35
Speaker
You can download it on Amazon.
00:09:38
Speaker
But yet, there are people with a serious medical and or mental and or made up condition called time blindness.
00:09:47
Speaker
Listen to this amateur millennial defend her inability to show up on time.
00:09:52
Speaker
So I just got yelled at for asking a very reasonable question.
00:09:55
Speaker
So I'm applying to go somewhere and I just wanted to know, are there accommodations for people who struggle with time blindness and being on time?
00:10:03
Speaker
Time blindness.
00:10:04
Speaker
I'll organize a telethon immediately.
00:10:06
Speaker
You know.
00:10:07
Speaker
And then the person I was with interrupted and acted like I was asking something else.
00:10:11
Speaker
And then when we were done, they actually started yelling at me and saying that accommodations for time blindness doesn't exist.
00:10:17
Speaker
And if you struggle with being on time, you'll never be able to get a job.
00:10:20
Speaker
Only a true friend tells you the stuff you don't want to hear.
00:10:24
Speaker
You know, provided you're trying your absolute best to be there.
00:10:27
Speaker
And then they're like, your stupid generation wants to destroy the workplace.
00:10:32
Speaker
And yeah, I think that a culture where workers are just cut off because they struggle with being on time when there's other solutions that we can look to.
00:10:41
Speaker
So what exactly would be other solutions we can look to for someone who is rudely, passive, aggressively, and chronically late?
00:10:49
Speaker
And why are we having to look for solutions?
00:10:52
Speaker
So what are these solutions?
00:10:53
Speaker
A, B, on time.
00:10:55
Speaker
Or is it B, accommodate the amateur behavior?
00:10:58
Speaker
I'm guessing Amateur Nation is going with option B. I think that just anybody who thinks it's okay to just treat people like that, yeah.
00:11:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:06
Speaker
Shut up!
00:11:07
Speaker
Shut the fuck up!
00:11:08
Speaker
You have no right to take me to the truck!
00:11:11
Speaker
Shut up!
00:11:12
Speaker
Shut up!
00:11:13
Speaker
Shut up!
00:11:13
Speaker
Shut up!
00:11:13
Speaker
Shut up!
00:11:16
Speaker
Shut up!
00:11:17
Speaker
So it's okay to treat people disrespectfully.
00:11:20
Speaker
People who in some instances might be paying you to be on time and do a job.
00:11:26
Speaker
But it's not okay to ask the person who is being paid to be accountable and do their job.
00:11:33
Speaker
Maybe next time this amateur does show up for work, let's see how she feels when she's not paid on time.
00:11:38
Speaker
That culture needs to be dismantled.
00:11:41
Speaker
And then I ask that person, how can you feel good about yourself upholding this kind of system?
00:11:46
Speaker
And then to think, I'm entitled.
00:11:48
Speaker
No, if people think it's okay to treat others like this, that's entitlement.
00:11:53
Speaker
You know, just because you put the word entitlement in the incorrect space and context doesn't mean it's accurate.
00:12:00
Speaker
It's not entitlement.
00:12:02
Speaker
It's expectation.
00:12:03
Speaker
And that's inappropriate.
00:12:06
Speaker
Good job, amateur parents.
00:12:08
Speaker
And now
Skepticism Towards Spiritual Figures
00:12:09
Speaker
this.
00:12:09
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:12:11
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:12:14
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Human Trafficking Ignored by Amateur Nation.
00:12:20
Speaker
Award-winning ABC journalist James Gordon Meek, who debunked Pizzagate, pleads guilty in child porn case.
00:12:33
Speaker
It was discovered that he was actively making plans to rape various young children, saying, and I quote, Have you ever raped a toddler girl?
00:12:44
Speaker
It's amazing.
00:12:47
Speaker
And yet for amateur nations, sound of freedom is paranoia.
00:12:50
Speaker
I said it before and I'll say it again.
00:12:52
Speaker
If you speak out against or are protecting or denying things like the Epstein Island pedal list or you argue against any form of child abuse or human trafficking as fake news or disinformation, that means you're okay with it, which is just around the corner from participating in it.
00:13:13
Speaker
In other news, João Dédouce, which in Portuguese translates to John of God, a spiritual advisor to celebrities like Oprah and Naomi Campbell, was sentenced to almost 371 years inside a Brazilian prison.
00:13:30
Speaker
Oprah's spiritual healer was found guilty of raping and abusing over 600 women and young girls.
00:13:37
Speaker
You're telling me Oprah doesn't know anything about that?
00:13:42
Speaker
He also ran a baby trafficking operation where newborns were sold to childless couples.
00:13:48
Speaker
Young girls were reportedly held captive in remote Brazilian farms where they were forced to produce babies before being murdered after 10 years of giving birth.
00:14:04
Speaker
One activist whose investigations led to John's arrest said she spoke to women from Europe, the USA, and Australia, who bought Brazilian babies for as much as $50,000.
00:14:15
Speaker
Among John of God's other fans are former President Bill Clinton, actress Shirley MacLaine, model Naomi Campbell, and former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
00:14:31
Speaker
Remember how just two episodes ago I talked about how evil isn't in your face like supervillains in Marvel movies, but rather walks among us undetected, often under the guise of overt goodness.
00:14:45
Speaker
Listen to this audio clip of Oprah singing the praises of John of God and note how, in true pedophile fashion, uses his kindness as a way to gain trusts of his victims and followers.
00:15:02
Speaker
Listen to this whole lot of nothing interview.
00:15:06
Speaker
Everyone is wearing white.
00:15:07
Speaker
All of his followers, John of God is wearing white.
00:15:10
Speaker
Oprah, all wearing white.
00:15:13
Speaker
How can that be evil?
00:15:15
Speaker
They're conducting the interview under a mango tree.
00:15:18
Speaker
And finally, note how transparently this man of God, this spiritual leader, how easily it is to pull the wool over the world's eyes.
00:15:28
Speaker
This is the kind of crap that gives religious people, and religion overall, a bad name.
00:15:34
Speaker
Go ahead, play the clip.
00:15:41
Speaker
This is an interview I wasn't sure would ever happen.
00:15:43
Speaker
One of the most famous spiritual healers in the world rarely talks to anyone on camera.
00:15:49
Speaker
John of God agreed to sit down with me under a mango tree on the grounds of the casa.
00:15:54
Speaker
A group of his patients gather to watch.
00:15:57
Speaker
John of God speaks only Portuguese, so Heather Cumming helped translate.
00:16:02
Speaker
Ready, guys?
00:16:04
Speaker
You describe yourself as a spiritual medium.
00:16:06
Speaker
What does that mean, a medium?
00:16:12
Speaker
As a medium, he's a spiritualist.
00:16:14
Speaker
He believes a great deal in God, and he practices this mission already 55 years.
00:16:23
Speaker
Born on a farm to a family who rarely had enough to eat, Joao Tejera de Fría was the youngest of six children.
00:16:31
Speaker
His father was a tailor.
00:16:33
Speaker
His mother, a housewife, also ran a small hotel to make ends meet.
00:16:36
Speaker
Joao left school when he was seven to work in his father's tailor shop.
00:16:41
Speaker
To this day, he cannot read or write.
00:16:45
Speaker
As a boy, João says he realized he was clairvoyant when he predicted a terrible storm that destroyed a neighboring village.
00:16:53
Speaker
This event began his journey as a spiritual medium.
00:16:57
Speaker
Are we all in some sense missionaries of God?
00:17:01
Speaker
Are we all, do we all have the possibility in our own way to be a medium for God?
00:17:10
Speaker
Everybody is a medium who practices good.
00:17:15
Speaker
And we are all children of God.
00:17:17
Speaker
And each person has their mission.
00:17:21
Speaker
The first time I saw today, I was humbled by the experience.
00:17:25
Speaker
Because a little bit of this belongs to you.
00:17:35
Speaker
A part of this belongs to you.
00:17:38
Speaker
How so?
00:17:38
Speaker
I don't understand.
00:17:39
Speaker
Because you are human.
00:17:42
Speaker
Well, could the entity tell me what does human energy look like?
00:17:45
Speaker
Because as I understand it, each person that comes before you, the entity sees the energy of that person.
00:17:53
Speaker
We have an aura.
00:17:54
Speaker
We have different colors in our world.
00:17:56
Speaker
So human energy looks like colors?
00:18:00
Speaker
Yes.
00:18:02
Speaker
Various different colors.
00:18:04
Speaker
What does something like cancer look like when you see inside?
00:18:08
Speaker
When he sees cancer, he starts asking that this be taken away, be removed, being God's will.
00:18:24
Speaker
Because it is not his, he does not have the power.
00:18:26
Speaker
It is God who has the power.
00:18:28
Speaker
And he prays to have the person's cancer removed by God.
00:18:33
Speaker
If it is his will.
00:18:35
Speaker
If it is God's will.
00:18:38
Speaker
I'm not sure if this is the worst part, of course, but it speaks to the stupidity, naivete, vulnerability, ignorance, and lack of critical thinking displayed by amateur nation when, just like facts about climate change, COVID, and the corresponding vaccine dangers, January 6th, electric vehicles, election fraud, men not being able to get pregnant, and all the other conspiracy theories that have come true and or have been proven to be accurate—
00:19:05
Speaker
When amateurs don't want to believe something, they really don't want to believe something because feelings.
00:19:14
Speaker
Feelings.
00:19:15
Speaker
Some followers of John of God have rejected the accusations and harassed reporters who descended on the town on Wednesday for the first public appearance of the healer since the scandal broke, receiving him with loud cheers and applause.
00:19:32
Speaker
Who in the media tricked you?
00:19:34
Speaker
I get it.
00:19:35
Speaker
Someone you know and or love and or loved and or trusted is found to have committed horrific, unfathomable acts of evil.
00:19:42
Speaker
Proven.
00:19:44
Speaker
Jailed.
00:19:44
Speaker
You don't want to believe it.
00:19:47
Speaker
But over time and eventually, rational prose, once seeing and or hearing the facts despite not wanting to believe it,
00:19:54
Speaker
and dealing with the pain, do believe it, and immediately decry, denounce, and distance themselves from said evil.
00:20:01
Speaker
They don't rally against the facts because then that would mean they endorse and are okay with that evil.
00:20:08
Speaker
Amateurs would rather be wrong in their feelings than right with facts.
00:20:14
Speaker
See also gun laws, crime stats, the EV hoax, etc.
00:20:17
Speaker
It's more of a conspiracy.
00:20:21
Speaker
Speaking of things Amateur Nation thinks are hoaxes, lies, paranoia, and conspiracy theories, 1,884 athlete cardiac arrests have occurred in the last two and a half years, with 1,310 dead.
00:20:36
Speaker
You remember how all those finely trained healthy athletes with access to the best trainers, food, and modern medicine died prior to 2021.
00:20:43
Speaker
Right, Amateur Nation?
00:20:44
Speaker
That was obviously sarcasm.

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.
00:21:29
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.

Societal Trends: Entitlement and Appearance
00:21:52
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:21:56
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:21:58
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:22:00
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:22:02
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
00:22:05
Speaker
Stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

00:22:54
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:22:56
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:22:58
Speaker
Hit me!
00:23:01
Speaker
When it comes to your appearance, would you say you have standards?
00:23:05
Speaker
In that you care how you look in public, and also even when you're at home, or home alone.
00:23:12
Speaker
Look, I understand the need to change into your favorite comfy jeans and your t-shirt when you're done with a hard day's work.
00:23:17
Speaker
I get not putting on full makeup and getting fancy just to run errands or you're heading to the grocery store.
00:23:23
Speaker
But if you do have standards, you understand that people are going to be seeing you and you want to at least look presentable in public, if not wanting to not be a distraction.
00:23:35
Speaker
You know, the people who wear slippers and or pajama pants to the grocery store.
00:23:39
Speaker
I've seen it dozens of times.
00:23:42
Speaker
Same goes for airports.
00:23:44
Speaker
I don't know what it is about airports.
00:23:45
Speaker
People think they're just traveling in bed in the sky.
00:23:49
Speaker
They're ill-prepared should some crisis occur during air travel for sure.
00:23:53
Speaker
Again, an excerpt from my book, Amateur Nation, The Decline of Common Sense Manners and Social Skills.
00:23:59
Speaker
And by the way, this excerpt from my book leads perfectly in to our third topic.
00:24:05
Speaker
From my book.
00:24:07
Speaker
The critically acclaimed series The Sopranos has my favorite scene that perfectly depicts amateur behavior.
00:24:13
Speaker
Mob boss Tony Soprano and his friend Artie are having a quiet dinner at a very fancy restaurant.
00:24:19
Speaker
Tony's eyeline is distracted due to a customer wearing a baseball cap in this upscale establishment.
00:24:26
Speaker
Tony, played brilliantly by James Gandolfini, gets up and in only the way Tony Soprano can, abruptly and politely, gets
00:24:35
Speaker
Tells the amateur, take your hat off.
00:24:39
Speaker
Adding, they don't serve hot dogs here.
00:24:41
Speaker
They took the bleachers out three years ago.
00:24:45
Speaker
The amateur's response, it's my hat.
00:24:48
Speaker
I'll wear it where I want.
00:24:50
Speaker
A few more seconds of dead eye from Tony and of course the amateur removes his hat.
00:24:55
Speaker
Even the waiter comes by Tony's table and says, thank you.
00:24:59
Speaker
He gets it.
00:25:02
Speaker
This scene vividly and accurately illustrates the typical amateur thought process.
00:25:07
Speaker
I can do what I want, where I want, because I, in this case, paid for it.
00:25:13
Speaker
Self-entitlement?
00:25:14
Speaker
Check.
00:25:15
Speaker
Disturbing the flow of the prose?
00:25:17
Speaker
Check.
00:25:17
Speaker
Doing life wrong?
00:25:19
Speaker
Check.
00:25:20
Speaker
You might be saying,
00:25:22
Speaker
Lou, who are you to decide who can wear a hat in a fancy restaurant?
00:25:26
Speaker
I didn't.
00:25:27
Speaker
Society did.
00:25:28
Speaker
A society led by pros, and in this case, the owner of the restaurant also did.
00:25:33
Speaker
Have you ever seen those signs in stores or restaurants, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone?
00:25:38
Speaker
Their house.
00:25:40
Speaker
Their rules.
00:25:41
Speaker
As a customer, you're in their house.
00:25:44
Speaker
Just because you're in public, it's still a private business owned by a person who runs it.
00:25:49
Speaker
In that case, one of the house rules was no hats.
00:25:54
Speaker
This isn't sexual, religious, or ethnic discrimination.
00:25:57
Speaker
It's simply a dress code.
00:25:59
Speaker
The amateur may argue, it's just a hat.
00:26:02
Speaker
What does it matter?
00:26:04
Speaker
Admittedly, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't.
00:26:07
Speaker
But this isn't the grand scheme of things.
00:26:09
Speaker
This is a restaurant.
00:26:10
Speaker
This is life.
00:26:11
Speaker
And there are rules.
00:26:12
Speaker
Left unchecked, amateur behavior spreads.
00:26:15
Speaker
It has been spreading exponentially and affects us all.
00:26:18
Speaker
You can't do what you want, whenever you want, wherever you want.
00:26:23
Speaker
Let's just say you want to play in a professional baseball game.
00:26:27
Speaker
You have to play by the rules.
00:26:29
Speaker
Otherwise, you'd have batters running the bases with bats in their hands, knocking out basemen.
00:26:34
Speaker
Players could wear armor.
00:26:35
Speaker
After three outs, teams could say, no fair, we get six outs to burn through because we're special.
00:26:40
Speaker
That's not baseball anymore.
00:26:41
Speaker
That's chaos.
00:26:43
Speaker
If you want to wear a baseball hat, or have your pants sagging around your knees, or don a onesie in public, then don't eat at a fancy restaurant.
00:26:52
Speaker
Stay home.
00:26:53
Speaker
If you want to eat at a fancy restaurant, dress for the part.
00:26:56
Speaker
To play the game, you've got to play by the rules and dress for the part you want to play.
00:27:01
Speaker
And the rules have been in place for a long time and they were decided by the pros.
00:27:04
Speaker
And the pros decided the rules because amateurs were too lazy and disorganized to get things done the right way.
00:27:10
Speaker
If you want to get caught up to the majors and turn pro, this is how it's done.
00:27:14
Speaker
No one is forcing you to play in the bigs.
00:27:16
Speaker
Sadly, if that Sopranos restaurant scene happened in real life in today's world, the man wearing the hat would throw a fit, cause a scene, his date would record the confrontation with her phone, blame the president and or the government on Twitter, scream racism, sexism, or whatever ism best benefited her needs, go on social media and whine, who does it hurt, start a hashtag movement and lead a protest march after she blasted the restaurant on Yelp and filed a lawsuit, wasting taxpayer time and money, thereby giving attention to this ludicrous behavior.
00:27:47
Speaker
And I'm not exaggerating here one bit.
00:27:50
Speaker
This is the amateur nation we live in.
00:27:54
Speaker
We pros are constantly having to do damage control and clean up the messes after the rookie moves that surround us daily.
00:28:01
Speaker
It's amazing anything gets done.
00:28:04
Speaker
Amateurs take the popular quote, dance like no one is watching, much too literally.
00:28:09
Speaker
Amateurs incorrectly translate that to, act like you're at home.
00:28:14
Speaker
The rest of the phrase dance like no one is watching should read, but only when appropriate, because otherwise people may punch you like no one is watching.
00:28:24
Speaker
As is with most things in life, you have to pick your moments.
Dress Code Debate at Ken Stewart's Grill
00:28:30
Speaker
From Cleveland.com, your headline, Dress Coat at Akron's Ken Stewart's Grill Causes Global Online Fight.
00:28:39
Speaker
Before we get started, let me just say this.
00:28:41
Speaker
I know this restaurant.
00:28:42
Speaker
I've eaten there a few times.
00:28:44
Speaker
I really like this restaurant.
00:28:46
Speaker
It's not cheap.
00:28:47
Speaker
It's not endless fries.
00:28:49
Speaker
It's not a chain.
00:28:51
Speaker
It's indeed a fancy, high-end, get-dressed-up, fine-dining kind of restaurant.
00:28:58
Speaker
Not finer dining, fine dining.
00:29:01
Speaker
A special occasion restaurant for those who can't afford to eat fine dining on the regular.
00:29:05
Speaker
Got it?
00:29:06
Speaker
Got one near you?
00:29:08
Speaker
Can you picture this place?
00:29:10
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:29:12
Speaker
A dress code reminder posted on the Facebook page of Ken Stewart's Grill erupted Friday into global debate.
00:29:17
Speaker
More than 1,400 comments had accumulated and the number was growing.
00:29:23
Speaker
While the topic was the dress code at a fine dining restaurant in Akron, Ohio, comments from around the world reflected a social divide between liberals and conservatives, haves and have-nots, and angry folks with a gripe to err.
00:29:34
Speaker
They weren't limited to Ken Stewart's Grill.
00:29:37
Speaker
The dress code statement on Facebook reads as follows.
00:29:41
Speaker
In response to our patron's request, Ken Stewart's Grill enforces an upscale dress code for dinner service.
00:29:48
Speaker
We do not allow beach wear.
00:29:51
Speaker
No problem with that.
00:29:52
Speaker
Gym attire.
00:29:54
Speaker
Why would you go drop several hundred dollars at a nice dinner and wear your gym clothes?
00:30:01
Speaker
It says gym attire, including sweatpants, sweatshirts, or hoodies.
00:30:05
Speaker
Athletic apparel, jerseys, hats, beanies, bandanas, ball caps, oversized or baggy clothing are prohibited.
00:30:13
Speaker
No excessively revealing clothes will be allowed.
00:30:16
Speaker
Clothing emitting offensive odors is not permitted to be worn anywhere on the property.
00:30:22
Speaker
Admittance to Ken Stewart's grill is at the discretion of management, who reserves the right to refuse service to patrons who are inappropriately dressed regardless of reservation status.
00:30:31
Speaker
To most people, this was a guideline to attire.
00:30:35
Speaker
Others took it beyond that.
00:30:37
Speaker
Timothy Cramp from Niles, Ohio posted, Now we're not saying no minorities because we legally can't, but try not to raise an eyebrow at how many white people in beachwear we're going to serve.
00:30:54
Speaker
Bob Marshall of Graham Washington saw those calling racism as perhaps racist themselves.
00:30:59
Speaker
He posted, Dress codes are racist?
00:31:02
Speaker
So you think people of color are incapable of dressing well?
00:31:06
Speaker
Taylor Ray, who hides her location, is black.
00:31:09
Speaker
She wrote,
00:31:28
Speaker
People of color are very capable and do dress very classy and are very appropriate for this type of establishment.
00:31:34
Speaker
However, there are individuals of any race who do not, and that's who they are referring to.
00:31:42
Speaker
The article continues, some commenters saw this as a classist infringement on their personal rights.
00:31:48
Speaker
They claimed they could dress however they want, wherever they want.
00:31:51
Speaker
Michael Simons of Maslin responded to them, don't like it?
00:31:55
Speaker
Stick to Olive Garden.
00:31:56
Speaker
Want to dress up?
00:31:57
Speaker
Have a classy dining experience like adults?
00:31:59
Speaker
We know where to go.
00:32:00
Speaker
I applaud this.
00:32:02
Speaker
Jake Bradshaw from Dallas and Sophie Lakin of Paris, France, turned to political discussions.
00:32:07
Speaker
Bradshaw wrote, this has literally everything to do with politics.
00:32:11
Speaker
Liberals have just done a good job convincing people that massive social issues are somehow not political.
00:32:17
Speaker
Lakin responded, you're right.
00:32:19
Speaker
Conservatives are the ones taking issue with social rights and have made it a major part of the political platforms.
00:32:24
Speaker
But they aren't inherently.
00:32:26
Speaker
How is this political at all?
00:32:27
Speaker
If you don't want to dress up, don't go.
00:32:29
Speaker
Simple.
00:32:30
Speaker
You don't have to go.
00:32:31
Speaker
And it's privately owned so they can set the rules.
00:32:33
Speaker
This has nothing to do with social issues.
00:32:37
Speaker
The article continues, dress codes are not a legal issue.
00:32:42
Speaker
As a general rule, there is no federal or Ohio law, statute, or ordinance that restricts a restaurant or bar from demanding a certain attire, notes Avery Friedman, a civil rights attorney from Cleveland, Ohio.
00:32:56
Speaker
Some fume at this as a violation of their right to dress as they choose.
00:33:01
Speaker
as if it were a part of their American DNA.
00:33:04
Speaker
Emotionally, I get it.
00:33:06
Speaker
The feeling is not unwarranted, but there's nothing in the law that bars a proprietor from doing such things.
00:33:14
Speaker
The First Amendment is a restriction on government in limited expression, not on private clubs and restaurants.
00:33:22
Speaker
That will be a surprise to many.
00:33:26
Speaker
Ken Stewart posted the dress code as a proactive measure.
00:33:31
Speaker
They said, we thought it wasn't fair for people to come here and not be aware of the dress code, said Ken Stewart, owner of the restaurant.
00:33:39
Speaker
We have people saying we're all dressed up.
00:33:41
Speaker
We want to have a nice atmosphere.
00:33:43
Speaker
This has nothing to do with race.
00:33:45
Speaker
It has to do with clothing and appearance.
00:33:47
Speaker
We're upscale.
00:33:48
Speaker
We're not a gymnasium.
00:33:50
Speaker
In regards to the comment by Timothy Cramp from Niles who posted, now we're not saying no minorities because we legally can't, but try not to raise an eyebrow at how many white people in beachwear we're going to serve.
00:34:02
Speaker
Where did they say no minorities anywhere in there?
00:34:06
Speaker
Or even better yet, how did you, Timothy Cramp from Niles, Ohio, arrive at that?
00:34:13
Speaker
You saw that.
00:34:14
Speaker
I read this to several people.
00:34:16
Speaker
Not one person mentioned that.
00:34:19
Speaker
That means you're implying that minorities don't have any nice clothes or don't know how to present themselves in an upscale restaurant.
00:34:25
Speaker
That's on you, brah.
00:34:27
Speaker
Also, as an Ohio native, yes, I lived in Los Angeles for 24 years, ate at some damn nice restaurants, but this is Akron, Ohio.
00:34:37
Speaker
I don't have a problem with my city per se.
00:34:38
Speaker
It needs a lot of improvement.
00:34:41
Speaker
But we need every upscale restaurant in Northeast Ohio that we can get.
00:34:46
Speaker
If you want to buy a $50 or $100 steak, dress like you got $50, motherfucker.
00:34:50
Speaker
Otherwise, go to Friday's and get your $25 steak that includes all-you-can-eat fries and a free soft drink.
00:34:56
Speaker
And there's nothing wrong with that, by the way.
00:34:59
Speaker
Dress how you want at home, but you're in public.
00:35:02
Speaker
And, you know, we're living in a society.
00:35:05
Speaker
Amateur Nation Life Lesson.
00:35:07
Speaker
You don't get to do what you want, when you want, all the time.
00:35:13
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants me to take an untested gene experiment, but I can't tell you to put on a fucking sport coat?
00:35:18
Speaker
Go fuck yourself, you fucking child.
00:35:20
Speaker
So let me ask you this, amateurs.
00:35:22
Speaker
If you see a sign that says stop, do you say, I have a right to go?
00:35:25
Speaker
If you see a sign that says no skateboarding or no trespassing, you have a right to do whatever you want?
00:35:30
Speaker
If he gets up, we'll all get up.
00:35:33
Speaker
It'll be anarchy.
00:35:34
Speaker
This updated dress code tells me they had to be so specific on what not to wear because amateurs were trying to get away with wearing whatever the hell they wanted.
00:35:42
Speaker
Amateur Nation's attire was not in line with the owner's vision.
00:35:46
Speaker
Let's face it, when you're dressed up, a wedding, a funeral, any fancy occasion, you slow down.
00:35:53
Speaker
You talk in a normal tone of voice.
00:35:55
Speaker
Maybe your manners are at the forefront.
00:35:58
Speaker
I know this restaurant.
00:36:00
Speaker
It was always upscale.
00:36:02
Speaker
And if they sense that too many amateurs are getting away with looking like people who should be hanging out at Golden Corral, then good for them.
00:36:08
Speaker
That's called standards.
00:36:10
Speaker
I want to live in a world with standards.
00:36:12
Speaker
We all should want to live in a world with standards.
00:36:15
Speaker
And they should be high.
00:36:17
Speaker
You can have high standards even if you're poor, even if you're uneducated or you're disabled in some way.
00:36:23
Speaker
Even if I could not afford to eat at Ken Stewart's Grill, I would be very happy about this.
00:36:28
Speaker
I know what I can afford.
00:36:29
Speaker
I have eaten at some very expensive restaurants in my day, and I know I have also missed other expensive restaurants in Los Angeles and Europe that were easily 5 to 10 times more expensive than what I could afford to pay.
00:36:44
Speaker
I know I can't afford those restaurants.
00:36:45
Speaker
Do I bitch and complain because it's not fair that I can't afford it?
00:36:49
Speaker
No, it's just a fact.
00:36:50
Speaker
And don't tell me that being able to afford a restaurant is not the same as having a tire to go to a nice restaurant.
00:36:56
Speaker
It is the same thing.
00:36:57
Speaker
I have never had a problem with people wanting to look weird or unique.
00:37:01
Speaker
said the guy who has had every bad hairstyle imaginable.
00:37:04
Speaker
And I've had perm, long, blonde hair as a young man.
00:37:07
Speaker
Mullets, parachute pants, jeans with pinstripes kill me.
00:37:11
Speaker
But at the very least, I was always neat and clean and not a threat or a spectacle.
00:37:18
Speaker
When you're a restaurant owner, especially of a high-end restaurant,
00:37:23
Speaker
It's not enough just to have a really good menu of rare food, expensive food, finely prepared food, meticulously prepared food.
00:37:32
Speaker
If you're going to pay that kind of money, wouldn't you want exceptional surroundings surrounded by people who understand that this is exceptional surroundings, who can appreciate how expensive this meal is, whether they can afford it every day or it's a special occasion?
00:37:50
Speaker
The restaurant owner, Ken Stewart in this case, had a vision.
00:37:55
Speaker
And it wasn't, hey, you know what?
00:37:57
Speaker
I want a restaurant with really expensive food, but people can wear whatever the hell they want.
00:38:02
Speaker
Why would you go to that trouble?
00:38:05
Speaker
Sure, would you still enjoy that food in your pajamas?
00:38:07
Speaker
Probably.
00:38:08
Speaker
But let me tell you, you will enjoy it more when you get dressed up.
00:38:12
Speaker
I go to a restaurant like that, I go wash my car.
00:38:14
Speaker
I detail my car.
00:38:16
Speaker
Enough with that.
00:38:17
Speaker
I have to express myself and being a slob and letting yourself go and obesity and growing a beard and having a smelly man bun and unshaved pits.
00:38:25
Speaker
Go ahead and do whatever you gotta fucking do.
00:38:27
Speaker
But be ready for some backlash when I say, you stank and you look like shit and you don't belong in here.
00:38:32
Speaker
Get the fuck out.
00:38:33
Speaker
Fuck you and your rights.
00:38:34
Speaker
Sucks to hear that, does it, amateurs?
00:38:36
Speaker
Remember that during COVID?
00:38:37
Speaker
We in Pro Nation heard that a lot.
00:38:39
Speaker
Arnold Schwarzenegger, screw your freedom.
00:38:42
Speaker
Except this isn't freedom that is protected by the Constitution.
00:38:45
Speaker
This is called a private business doing whatever the hell it wants.
00:38:48
Speaker
If a restaurant says you can only wear purple, you can only wear purple.
00:38:52
Speaker
They'll deal with the backlash, but for now, they only want people dressing in purple.
00:38:55
Speaker
You're going to complain about that?
00:38:57
Speaker
You want to eat there?
00:38:58
Speaker
Wear something purple.
00:39:00
Speaker
There was a restaurant in Los Angeles, I forget what it was called, and I never got a chance to eat there, but their theme was absolute and total darkness.
00:39:10
Speaker
Their gimmick, their theory, was that by eating in complete darkness, your taste buds and olfactory senses would kick in more.
00:39:17
Speaker
I believe it was a prefix menu served in stages so you could savor each part of the meal.
00:39:24
Speaker
Did blind people get pissy?
00:39:26
Speaker
Did amateur nation rise up and say, this isn't fair, I should be able to eat there with the lights on?
00:39:31
Speaker
Find somewhere else to eat.
00:39:33
Speaker
I'm sure the lights will be on.
00:39:35
Speaker
Do you go to an action movie and complain?
00:39:37
Speaker
This isn't fair.
00:39:38
Speaker
I should be able to see romance in this movie.
00:39:40
Speaker
Go to another movie.
00:39:42
Speaker
Funny how when Twitter was censoring everyone, Amateur Nation was saying it's a private business.
00:39:46
Speaker
They can do what they want until Elon Musk took over.
00:39:49
Speaker
You have no argument here, amateurs.
00:39:53
Speaker
You want to eat at a nice restaurant?
00:39:55
Speaker
Dress the part.
00:39:58
Speaker
And speaking of food, it's time for a la carte.
00:40:11
Speaker
I was commenting to someone the other day how I watched something funny a long, long, long time ago on a VHS tape.
00:40:17
Speaker
And she said, I can't believe you watched recorded shows on VHS.
00:40:21
Speaker
And I said, make all the jokes you want, but it came with a wired remote, not a wireless remote, a wired remote.
00:40:27
Speaker
And you know what?
00:40:27
Speaker
When I hit pause and stop, it did it instantaneously.
00:40:30
Speaker
No lag time, no going back to the home screen, no 25 second buffering delay, no information was stored, no one had my library.
00:40:38
Speaker
Ads didn't start flooding my phone and email based on the Cinemax movie I recorded on my VCR.
00:40:44
Speaker
Stuff worked back then.
00:40:46
Speaker
What, now we have more clarity?
00:40:48
Speaker
A clearer picture?
00:40:49
Speaker
Yeah, we could see it back then.
00:40:50
Speaker
That was enough.
00:40:51
Speaker
Yeah, does it look as cool as a PS5 or your Xbox attached to your $3,000 TV that you bought a year ago now available for $300?
00:41:01
Speaker
Smug Hollywood elitist Robert Downey Jr. is solving world peace issues saying that women should run the planet and the entire planet should be a matriarchy.
00:41:08
Speaker
Because as we all know, man bad, woman good.
00:41:12
Speaker
Just ask Hillary, all my friends are dead.
00:41:13
Speaker
Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Shannon Doherty, Queen Mary I, Bob Barker, Eileen Wuornos, Joan Crawford, Lizzie Borden, the cast of The View, my ex, and your third grade math teacher.
00:41:24
Speaker
Lakami James helps kids get gooder edumacation.
00:41:27
Speaker
Or not, not one eighth grader at Lakami James' I Promise School in Akron, Ohio, has passed a state math test in three years, just like LeBron.
00:41:37
Speaker
Why do they do that for?
00:41:39
Speaker
Because they're stupid, that's why.
00:41:40
Speaker
Did someone say girl talk?
00:41:42
Speaker
Ladies, how much would you pay to hear a man tell you how to be empowered?
00:41:46
Speaker
$50 a ticket?
00:41:48
Speaker
$25?
00:41:48
Speaker
$10?
00:41:49
Speaker
Not one red cent?
00:41:50
Speaker
Well, you're probably a pro, but
00:41:52
Speaker
Butt Light Trojan horse Dylan Mulvaney is now asking $40,000 in speaking fees on female empowerment.
00:42:00
Speaker
Uh, that doesn't make any sense.
00:42:02
Speaker
California, the virus state.
00:42:05
Speaker
Now, a not-so-secret Chinese biotech lab was uncovered in California with nearly a thousand mice, 20 potentially infectious agents, COVID tests, and human blood.
00:42:15
Speaker
That should help your listing on Zillow.
00:42:16
Speaker
California is asshole.
00:42:18
Speaker
What have I been saying?
00:42:20
Speaker
Speaking of Chinese stuff, remember just a couple episodes ago when I reminded how China has pretty much no rights or protection for gay people and recently shut down its only LGBTQIA plus ampersand dollar sign exclamation point center and how amateurs still think America sucks and is full of bountiful oppression?
00:42:36
Speaker
Well, if you're oppressed, you could always try Russia.
00:42:41
Speaker
Except that Russia has banned all sex change procedures, trans marriages, and trans adoptions.
00:42:46
Speaker
Again, tell me how America sucks.
00:42:50
Speaker
Hey, Pennsylvania Senator John Lurch Fetterman, where do you stand on the issue of fracking?
00:42:55
Speaker
I do support fracking, and I don't, I don't, I support fracking, and I stand, and I do support fracking.
00:43:06
Speaker
If your brain were a drug, I'd snort the shit out of it.
00:43:09
Speaker
Three things that are done right.
00:43:12
Speaker
These are pro things.
00:43:13
Speaker
Here they are.
00:43:13
Speaker
Number one.
00:43:17
Speaker
Stop.
00:43:18
Speaker
Hammer time.
00:43:18
Speaker
Here's Newsmax news anchor Wendy Bell telling the viewers what she really thinks about Joe Biden and the Biden crime family with this mic drop.
00:43:27
Speaker
Mr. President, you look mystified most of the time I see you.
00:43:31
Speaker
You don't know where you're going.
00:43:32
Speaker
You have no clue why you're there.
00:43:34
Speaker
You can't speak.
00:43:35
Speaker
You can't walk.
00:43:36
Speaker
So let's just drop the gloves and be real for a moment, okay?
00:43:40
Speaker
I find you disgraceful.
00:43:42
Speaker
You've hidden from the American people your clear diagnosis, whatever it is.
00:43:45
Speaker
You have it.
00:43:46
Speaker
We all see it.
00:43:48
Speaker
And so does the rest of the world.
00:43:50
Speaker
Liberals will say I'm being ageist or ableist.
00:43:53
Speaker
But what I am is a realist.
00:43:54
Speaker
I like honest people, which is why I so thoroughly dislike you.
00:43:59
Speaker
You are a corrupt, lying, farcical shell of a human being.
00:44:03
Speaker
You sold out our national security to enrich yourself and your family.
00:44:07
Speaker
Your son is a tragic disgrace.
00:44:10
Speaker
And isn't it sad that some of us actually feel sorry for the guy?
00:44:13
Speaker
Because all he probably ever really wanted was for you to love him.
00:44:17
Speaker
But you love something else more.
00:44:18
Speaker
You.
00:44:19
Speaker
And this entire made-up story surrounding you.
00:44:22
Speaker
You capitalized on the deaths of people in your family to strike a sympathy nerve, to make up for your clear mental mediocrity, but you didn't sell me.
00:44:30
Speaker
And you haven't sold tens of millions of other Americans.
00:44:32
Speaker
Your entire family, sadly, is dysfunction.
00:44:35
Speaker
Nine of you were paid by foreign governments to do what?
00:44:39
Speaker
To look out for the best interests of this great nation?
00:44:42
Speaker
No.
00:44:43
Speaker
To look out for you.
00:44:44
Speaker
we all have issues in our lives we're all struggling with something or someone it's difficult i get it but our entire lives aren't lies and yours is you shut down our energy independence and pushed a bogus money laundering narrative under the guise of climate do-goodery you caused prices to soar and shelves to go bare you used the black community the same way you try to use college students in debt all to stay where you are protected guarded and out of prison but i think mr president
00:45:14
Speaker
What you're most guilty of doing is so disgusting and so depraved that your lasting legacy will be simple disgrace.
00:45:23
Speaker
The Biden family will go down as the most corrupt first family in American history.
00:45:26
Speaker
That is why children don't like you, why they pull away from you, and why I have never trusted you.
00:45:32
Speaker
Número 2
00:45:55
Speaker
Only a member of amateur nation would think Biden commands any kind of respect or fear around the world.
00:46:01
Speaker
Just ask Sebastian Gorka, formerly deputy assistant to the president of the United States, on how Trump...
00:46:06
Speaker
ran the show.
00:46:31
Speaker
over chocolate cake at mar-a-lago with xi jinping eating his chocolate cake the president leaned over and said uh i just launched 52 cruise missiles on that syrian air base he's not interested in dumb wars he's not interested in fighting other people's wars but when you cross a line we will make you extra crispy that's president trump you said trump would end the war russia and ukraine how will he do that uh because putin's afraid of him think about what happened after we killed 300 russians working for the kremlin in syria putin didn't even have a press conference
00:47:01
Speaker
You think Putin is afraid of Trump?
00:47:02
Speaker
Totally, utterly.
00:47:03
Speaker
Why is he afraid of Trump?
00:47:04
Speaker
Because he doesn't know what Trump's going to do to him.
00:47:07
Speaker
And finally, pro thing number three.
00:47:18
Speaker
Oh, and by the way, Amateur Nation, Trump's no racist either.
00:47:21
Speaker
Just ask TV's Judge Joe Brown.
00:47:23
Speaker
Is Trump a racist?
00:47:24
Speaker
I don't think so.
00:47:26
Speaker
I've talked to a number of black entrepreneurs who, back in the late 80s and 90s, early 90s, were trying to get financing.
00:47:35
Speaker
They couldn't.
00:47:36
Speaker
Somebody told them to go check with Donald Trump.
00:47:40
Speaker
So they come back and tell me they got a loan from Donald Trump.
00:47:44
Speaker
You gave them a term loan, show up with the interest in the principal, one check, but they had to go see him personally.
00:47:53
Speaker
Paying the penalty to relate this tale that when they saw him, he said, this is what you're supposed to pay me?
00:47:58
Speaker
This is our agreement?
00:47:59
Speaker
I said, yeah.
00:47:59
Speaker
And then tore the check up, shook the hands, and congratulations.
00:48:03
Speaker
Now run your business.
00:48:05
Speaker
He didn't have any problem with dating a black woman, walking her down red carpets.
00:48:09
Speaker
Most people don't know this.
00:48:11
Speaker
He was the finance man behind Jesse Jackson's two runs for president.
00:48:16
Speaker
I know, amateurs.
00:48:17
Speaker
You just don't like Trump, but you're still okay with Biden.
00:48:20
Speaker
Come here, amateurs.
00:48:21
Speaker
I want to show you something.
00:48:22
Speaker
Right here.
00:48:23

No, no, right here by this ledge.

00:48:46
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:48:47
Speaker
Remember, amateurs, we see you.
00:48:49
Speaker
You're not at home.
00:48:51
Speaker
Don't do life wrong.
00:48:52
Speaker
Go pro.
00:48:53
Speaker
Don't be an amateur.
00:48:54
Speaker
Don't be an amateur.
00:48:56
Speaker
For Amateur Nation, I'm Lou Santini.
00:48:58
Speaker
And this has been a big major production.
00:49:00
Speaker
I do support fracking and I don't, I don't, I support fracking and I stand and I do support fracking.
