Speaker: Together, we remember them all.
Speaker: Okay, let's all shut up, please.
Speaker: Warning.
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.
Speaker: Attention whores, ignoramuses, dolts, clods, nimrods, douches, weirdos, drama queens, overly sensitive crybabies, and people who think they are better, more important, and special than the rest of us.
Speaker: In one word, amateurs.
Speaker: Amateurs.
Speaker: It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
Speaker: We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
Speaker: The people who are doing life wrong.
Speaker: The speed bumps of life.
Speaker: 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 that are disturbing the flow of the pros.
Speaker: Hi, Mom.
Speaker: Oh, hey, Lou.
Speaker: Amateur Nation.
Speaker: It's not just a podcast.
Speaker: It's a movement.
Speaker: And this is episode 248.
Speaker: The future is stupid.
Speaker: On today's episode, Amateur Nation is childish.
Speaker: Take two.
Speaker: Celebrating Indigenous People's Day and Amateur Nation versus Pro Nation happiness.
Speaker: Then we respect the sneeze guard on the a la carte buffet and three things that are done right on three pro things.
Speaker: Pro Nation first, shouts out to Manny M Performance, Jimmy Bartley, William Carver, Raul Easy, Richard Pezrock, Bobby Carroll, and Bill Bowser on Instagram, Cliff and Becky, Dun Nguyen, and Thangmobile on YouTube, and Terry Sixkiller who wrote me on Facebook with this, why is it we don't see the trans women going into the male bathrooms?
Speaker: Which leads me to your post of the week, in line with the topic last week, Amateur Nation is Rooted in Hypocrisy.
Speaker: This, from Dominic Izzo.
Speaker: Award shows, we must honor race.
Speaker: Job hiring, we must consider race.
Speaker: School acceptance, we must prioritize race.
Speaker: HR and training at work, we must bow to race.
Speaker: Holidays and parades, we must celebrate race.
Speaker: Communities, we must unify race.
Speaker: Achievements, we must celebrate race.
Speaker: Criminal activity, how dare you bring up race.
Speaker: Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
Speaker: Now dig this.
Speaker: Step one.
Speaker: Topic number one.
Speaker: Topic number one.
Speaker: Last week's episode of my podcast talked about how Amateur Nation is childish.
Speaker: And I gave examples of politicians, the Hollywood elite, professional athletes, etc.
Speaker: who act childish.
Speaker: Guess who just made the list?
Speaker: Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Speaker: This never-oppressed multimillionaire with one of the most elite jobs on the planet recently qualified number three in the Qatar Grand Prix.
Speaker: First corner of the first lap, he squeezed out his own teammate, George Russell.
Speaker: in an effort to take it out and measure it against the man who broke his brain at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Max Verstappen.
Speaker: Here we have a seven-time world champ who, only after the George Floyd crap, was suddenly oppressed and wanted to end racism.
Speaker: He's barely won a race, let alone gotten on a podium since Max handed him his lunch two years ago.
Speaker: And since then, like a child, nothing has been his fault.
Speaker: He has blamed his team for losses, and when he ran into his own teammate, the first thing out of his mouth via radio to his crew was, my own teammate ran into me, despite the obvious of the opposite in real time and especially in replay.
Speaker: To make things worse, like the child he is, he walked across the track pouting, which is dangerous and absolutely against the rules.
Speaker: The crash could have killed Max, his teammate, other drivers, and himself, and walking across the track put him at risk, as well as the safety crew.
Speaker: It's easy to be a great winner.
Speaker: And now we know Lewis Hamilton's character when he loses.
Speaker: Childish.
Speaker: Like a fucking amateur.
Speaker: And now this.
Speaker: And now for step two.
Speaker: Topic number two.
Speaker: Recently, it was Indigenous Peoples Day, celebrating and honoring Indigenous American peoples and commemorating their histories and cultures.
Speaker: I overheard two, of course, millennials talking about it at this gastropub near me.
Speaker: And one says, I feel bad for the Native Americans.
Speaker: Of course, I can't help myself.
Speaker: And I said, politely, really, do you really feel bad?
Speaker: Or do you think you should say that just because?
Speaker: She said, you don't feel bad?
Speaker: She was shocked when I said, no, I can agree it's wrong to steal and steal land and hurt people, but I can't feel bad about something that A, happened centuries ago and B, that I had nothing to do with.
Speaker: I don't feel bad about slavery either.
Speaker: Now, of course, their heads are exploding, but I said, you're not listening.
Speaker: If you want to call it semantics, go ahead.
Speaker: But of course, slavery is indeed wrong.
Speaker: But how come no one ever feels bad about the slavery that currently exists literally in every country and at a greater scale now than back when America had slaves, slaves that were sold by Africa to America?
Speaker: Do you feel bad about the child slaves and the people sold to human trafficking like was covered in The Sound of Freedom?
Speaker: And of course, they had not seen the movie.
Speaker: I said, watch the movie.
Speaker: Then you'll feel bad because that's going on now.
Speaker: Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide.
Speaker: Child slaves mind the earth for your electric car batteries.
Speaker: Slaves are in concentration camps in China right now.
Speaker: You want to feel bad for someone?
Speaker: Feel bad for the victims of Epstein's Island.
Speaker: Forgot about them, didn't you, amateurs?
Speaker: As austerewyatt1 said on Instagram, Crazy how the internet cannot eliminate child pornography, the root demand for child trafficking, but can censor, block, and delete all conspiracy theories and facts.
Speaker: Oh, and contact trace those who've been in contact with COVID, but not those who steal and molest kids.
Speaker: I don't feel guilty for not feeling bad for atrocities not committed by me centuries ago.
Speaker: It doesn't mean I don't agree that it was wrong, but it happened.
Speaker: So go ahead and feel bad and enjoy your freedom.
Speaker: Being first on a land and founding and creating a nation, a nation with laws and structure, are two different things.
Speaker: In Newsflash, every country on this planet involved taking that land from some other group of people.
Speaker: Don't feel bad that you don't feel bad.
Speaker: I agree mistreating human beings is wrong, of course.
Speaker: I got shit to do, though.
Speaker: If you feel so bad about what we did to the Native Americans, then give up your land and your stuff to them.
Speaker: Or go work for them.
Speaker: You want people to get reparations?
Speaker: Donate your stuff.
Speaker: Don't take from everyone because you feel bad.
Speaker: Yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker: I saw Ukraine on the news change my profile pic.
Speaker: Criminal George Floyd got killed.
Speaker: Feel bad for all black people.
Speaker: You're also assuming that all people who had their land taken were good people.
Speaker: I'm sure some, maybe many, were assholes.
Speaker: I hate to state the obvious, but people can be evil regardless of color.
Speaker: Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Mussolini, hell, Pablo Escobar.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, colonialism.
Speaker: Nice all-encompassing term because you won't admit that every race is full of amateurs.
Speaker: So feel free to feel bad about Native Americans several hundred years ago, or maybe channel those bad feelings for the innocent victims in Israel.
Speaker: Or how about this?
Speaker: You've seen this headline.
Speaker: Hillary Clinton calls for formal deprogramming of Trump cult members.
Speaker: Oh, you called for it?
Speaker: Then I call for the immediate arrest of Hillary Clinton among other NWO leaders.
Speaker: Her statement tells me three things.
Speaker: A, she's literally a complete unquestionable fascist.
Speaker: B, she's scared.
Speaker: C, she's desperate.
Speaker: Commie Chinadian dictator and former blackface wearer fascist Justin Trudeau said, The very concept of a nation founded by European settlers is offensive to me.
Speaker: Old stock white Canadians are an unpleasant relic and quite frankly, replaceable.
Speaker: And we will replace them.
Speaker: Sounds like a person of power who is all about making sure people aren't mistreated, right?
Speaker: You want to feel bad about mistreated people?
Speaker: Try feeling bad about the entire current American middle class being mistreated, overtaxed, persecuted, censored, canceled, tracked, traced, threatened, and don't forget poisoned by big pharma, all of which is orchestrated by our own government.
Speaker: Funny how when Trump was building the wall at the Mexican border, it was racist.
Speaker: Now that 7 million illegals, and yes, they are illegal aliens, many of them criminals and human traffickers, drug dealers and violent criminals, have entered and infected America, President Coloring Book wants to finish the wall.
Speaker: Amateur Nation is now silent.
Speaker: As I said last week, Amateur Nation is rooted in hypocrisy.
Speaker: All this virtue signaling is exhausting, fake, and misplaced.
Speaker: Throughout the week, when you follow me on Instagram, Truth Social, and or Facebook, I bonus tease you with plenty of audiograms for next week's topics.

Speaker: A la carte and three pro things soon, but first, amateur nation versus pro nation happiness 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
Speaker: 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, a constant need for attention, ironically coupled with the need to be left alone, a desire to be treated the same as everyone else, stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

Speaker: Time's a bit of a factor here, so as much as I'd like to spend the day murdering all of you, I'm afraid we need to press on.
Speaker: All right, now step three.
Speaker: Topic number three.
Speaker: Hit me!
Speaker: I'm fascinated by happiness.
Speaker: When it comes to happiness, of course, everything is relative.
Speaker: I know someone who had gone through some really bad, horrible experiences as a child, all the way through their teens.
Speaker: And yet this person recently told me that this is the happiest they've ever been.
Speaker: And I believe them.
Speaker: I have a friend with a spouse who has gone through serious medical issues for at least four years straight with hardly a moment's rest or good health.
Speaker: And yet he seems pleasant, nonplussed, positive, and optimistic.
Speaker: On the other hand, I know many people who, and yes, most of them are in Los Angeles, who by definition have it all, so to speak.
Speaker: Good health, freedom, no real crushing debt, a long future ahead, and they seem unhappy.
Speaker: Of course, I don't know their whole stories, but if I'm just going by the surface and what I see or by what I am literally told, they seem like they have no reason to be unhappy.
Speaker: So happiness really is indeed relative, and I have learned that as I have lived my life.
Speaker: I assumed that money, security, and wealth and power meant guaranteed happiness.
Speaker: I was smart enough to know, despite approaching my 39th year in the entertainment business, at least fame had nothing to do with happiness.
Speaker: And boy, I don't think it takes someone more than five minutes to go on the internet and see stories of some millennial crying about their despair and oppression and how they don't fit in and no one understands them and they got their pronouns wrong.
Speaker: But we must love them.
Speaker: And of course, daily stories about celebrities who seem to be happy but always seem to have some drama associated with them.
Speaker: Drugs, alcohol, abuse, giving or receiving abuse, financial difficulties, being involved in something terrible like child trafficking or bank fraud or Epstein's Island.
Speaker: You see Britney Spears dancing around with knives and we laugh and I'm certainly one of those people who makes jokes about it.
Speaker: And of course, not everyone in Los Angeles who is famous is unhappy.
Speaker: But when I lived in Los Angeles, and of course now that I've escaped, I'm what they would call a working entertainer.
Speaker: You may have never heard of me.
Speaker: I'm not a household name.
Speaker: But those working entertainers are the people who don't have the problems and issues I just mentioned.
Speaker: The more money you get, the more problems you got.
Speaker: I believe a rapper said that, he said nerdily.
Speaker: Nerd.
Speaker: Nerd.
Speaker: Dork.
Speaker: Geek.
Speaker: Nerd.
Speaker: But I'm not wrong.
Speaker: Amateur nation, that is, the most famous amateur nation populists seem absolutely miserable and hate-filled.
Speaker: The richest, most corrupt politicians are all angry and or stupid and always...
Speaker: are on the defense.
Speaker: Living your life always on the defense to have tens of millions of dollars bribed your way just so you can pretend to be happy.
Speaker: Does that seem like a good way to live your life?
Speaker: And the middle class and poor population of amateur nation choose not to see it.
Speaker: That's beyond stupid.
Speaker: The amateur nation elite are corrupt, miserable, hate-filled, and full of divisiveness.
Speaker: And that's who they side with?
Speaker: The ones who seem the happiest, the ones who are conservative and are centered, calm, confident, at peace.
Speaker: The Mark Wahlbergs, James Woods, Adam Sandlers, Vince Vaughns, Kurt Russells, Dean Cainz, Tom Sellecks, Clint Eastwood, Scott Baos, Tim Allens, Chuck Norris', John Voigt', Andy Garcias, Patricia Heaton's, Kevin Sorbo's, Gary Sinise's, Kurt Cameron, Sylvester Stallone's, Jim Caviezel's.
Speaker: Yes, they're on social media, but it's not their identity.
Speaker: Their pics...
Speaker: are of their family.
Speaker: Posts talk about gratitude.
Speaker: Their rants are pro-America.
Speaker: No, they're not perfect people.
Speaker: Yes, of course they're flawed.
Speaker: And no, they're not problem-free.
Speaker: No, they aren't without skeletons, I'm sure.
Speaker: But the famous in amateur nation,
Speaker: are all about rage, feelings, real hate, and divisiveness.
Speaker: I will not perform for such and such people.
Speaker: And these people are not allowed to my shows.
Speaker: Remember Pink demanding that people who don't support gay and trans people stop listening to her shitty music?
Speaker: That's not taking a stand.
Speaker: That's being against the very thing you claim to be for.
Speaker: That is inclusivity and understanding.
Speaker: There's some understanding in having a conversation and loving one another.
Speaker: The famous and amateur nation are always griping, divisive, basking in oppression, displaying some kind of neurosis.
Speaker: Their children are like ornaments.
Speaker: Marriages come and go.
Speaker: Weight issues, drug and alcohol issues.
Speaker: They're in rehab on and off.
Speaker: Everything they're about is surface.
Speaker: Their mansion, their cars, their outlandish and outrageous clothing, hair and makeup.
Speaker: It's all marketed as individualism and sharing their truth.
Speaker: It reeks all
Speaker: of trying too hard.
Speaker: They live on social media.
Speaker: Social media becomes their entire identity.
Speaker: The famous and amateur nation are simply miserable people.
Speaker: Many have posted this before, but it's true.
Speaker: The NWO, those highest in power in amateur nation want you godless, sexless, genderless, childless, depressed, anxious, afraid, fat, drug addicted, lonely, physically weak, mentally weak, in debt, isolated, living in a pod, eating bugs, and dependent on the state for all your needs.
Speaker: I've said that many different ways many times on this show.
Speaker: You think it's an exaggeration?
Speaker: Look at posts on social media from those in Amateur Nation.
Speaker: Amateur Nation mocks religion at every turn.
Speaker: You're foolish if you have faith in any form.
Speaker: You'll see words like cult and hypnosis.
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: Get another booster and put your mask on, amateur.
Speaker: They want you sexless.
Speaker: Bring on the abortions.
Speaker: Besides, who needs sex?
Speaker: Cue the self-empowerment.
Speaker: They want you genderless.
Speaker: Do I really need to get into that subject?
Speaker: Between the mental illness that most transgender display and the readiness at which adults are willing to mutilate themselves and parents who are willing to destroy their children's sexuality and gender is astonishing.
Speaker: Well, balls come and balls go when you think about it.
Speaker: They want you childless.
Speaker: See, pathetic human Chelsea Handler as she continues to convince herself she's fulfilled living alone as an alcoholic.
Speaker: They want you depressed.
Speaker: Amateur Nation revels in depression.
Speaker: That's their identity.
Speaker: They want you anxious.
Speaker: See, depressed.
Speaker: They want you afraid.
Speaker: Fear is a great marketing tool.
Speaker: For Amateur Nation, it comes in the forms of riots, looting, marching, and yelling.
Speaker: COVID.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you fat.
Speaker: Don't forget, fat is healthy now.
Speaker: Just ask the editors of Cosmo and other women's magazines.
Speaker: Funny how men aren't sold that lie.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you drug addicted.
Speaker: Hail Big Pharma!
Speaker: Big Pharma will save us all!
Speaker: Why rest, diet and exercise when shots and pills will do the trick?
Speaker: Or recreational drugs?
Speaker: I took too much ecstasy in my 20s, so nothing makes me happy anymore.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you lonely.
Speaker: You don't need a spouse.
Speaker: You don't need to go out and do things with people.
Speaker: Stay inside, stream stuff, play video games, have some temporary company and get on Tinder for one night.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you physically weak.
Speaker: Remember my past episode not too long ago where I cited articles saying that conservatives who like fitness are akin to Nazi Germany.
Speaker: Ludicrous.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you mentally weak.
Speaker: Stay on social media.
Speaker: Stay indoors.
Speaker: Eat crap.
Speaker: Take drugs.
Speaker: Get DoorDash.
Speaker: Watch empty CGI-driven horror movies and Marvel movies that are remakes, redos, and reboots of comic books.
Speaker: Books?
Speaker: Why read a book when you can stream a movie?
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you in debt.
Speaker: Buy a fucking spoon on Amazon and they'll break it down into payments for you.
Speaker: Pay this streaming service and this one and this one and your cell bill.
Speaker: Lease an electric vehicle.
Speaker: Unusual Whales on Instagram mentions that 18% of millennials and 12% of Gen Zers say they believe they will never be able to own a home.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you isolated slash living in a pod.
Speaker: As evil incarnate Klaus Schwab himself said, you will own nothing and be happy.
Speaker: Hey, it's working for China, right?
Speaker: This is an absurd piece of jackditation.
Speaker: Jackditation?
Speaker: A specious or false premise?
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you eating bugs.
Speaker: If it's good enough for Nicole Kidman to do it one time on camera in full makeup in a well-lighted studio, it's good enough for me forever.
Speaker: Time to watch Snowpiercer again.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you dependent on the state for all your needs, i.e.
Speaker: communism.
Speaker: I hate communists.
Speaker: All they do is boss people around.
Speaker: Most in Pro Nation have a mindset of, if you don't have the same beliefs as me, it's cool.
Speaker: Just stay out of my way and my face.
Speaker: We can peacefully coexist in public.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants you off the earth.
Speaker: Exile, internment, gulag.
Speaker: Bankrupted in re-education camps.
Speaker: Amateur Nation, as I said last week, is literally the most hypocritical group of people I've ever seen.
Speaker: So don't tell me you're happy.
Speaker: An amateur nation.
Speaker: Don't tell me you'll be happy because you can have an abortion while you're on heroin as you cross the border while rioting and looting and not going to prison for it because there's no cops.
Speaker: That still would not make you happy, amateurs.
Speaker: Living a life of unstructured freedom of thought, movement, and action would not make you happy.
Speaker: Amateur Nation's idea is, free everything and then I'll be happy.
Speaker: It's the NWO mantra being sold.
Speaker: You will own nothing and you will be happy.
Speaker: Happiness and slavery and lack of financial and personal worth and accountability and responsibility.
Speaker: They're selling you the idea of we, the one government, will do the heavy lifting for you.
Speaker: Yes, we will get all the creature comforts, the rewards, the power.
Speaker: You'll get nothing but a chance to simply be.
Speaker: That is, be at the government's job we assign you.
Speaker: Be at home until we tell you you're not allowed to go out.
Speaker: You'll be without worry or stress.
Speaker: You know where your food, shelter, and transportation will come from.
Speaker: Isn't that easier?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Well, that sounds about as appetizing as a big plate of dirt or something.
Speaker: We get all the good stuff because we're doing all the heavy lifting.
Speaker: Let's get to the part where that's not ever going to happen and nothing in life is free.
Speaker: Now come to the realization that no, it will not make you happy.
Speaker: You're already fucking miserable, amateurs.
Speaker: So many friends of mine in Los Angeles would say something along the lines of, if I could just book a TV series or land a big movie role, then I would be happy.
Speaker: If I could just get a husband, then I'll be happy.
Speaker: If I could just make $1 million, then I'll be happy.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Get happy first, then go do the other stuff.
Speaker: If you think circumstances or things that fall into your lap with minimal or no effort will make you happy, you are sadly mistaken.
Speaker: You might be satiated for a while, but you won't be long-term happy.
Speaker: Earning something, whether through sacrifice, hard work, searching, or a combination of all, is what will bring you the opportunity for happiness.
Speaker: Start by not settling and waiting for the right person to be your significant other.
Speaker: Working with what you got, the right career that brings fulfillment besides cash, will make you happy.
Speaker: Having faith in something, anything, besides your stupid, corrupt, current, bribery-filled communist government, start there.
Speaker: That will make you happy.
Speaker: Thanks, Captain Bringdown.
Speaker: It's time for a la carte, here we go.
Speaker: You can't possibly say life in America or around the world is better now with President Coloring Book at the helm.
Speaker: If you do, you're a pathetic disgrace.
Speaker: They're jerk offs.
Speaker: I know we were talking about happiness earlier.
Speaker: Speaking of which, you notice there's not a lot of comedies being made in the movie world?
Speaker: Movies are pretty much in these categories.
Speaker: Comic book crap, remakes, prequels, sequels, reboots, horror, torture, drama.
Speaker: When was the last time there was a quality adult comedy in theaters or available for streaming?
Speaker: The New World Order doesn't want you happy and laughing.
Speaker: Do yourself a favor.
Speaker: Go support live stand-up comedy.
Speaker: Laugh.
Speaker: Lose some stress.
Speaker: Ha ha ha ha ha!
Speaker: Well, well, well, so BLM is for and supporting Hamas.
Speaker: If BLM is behind it, I'm automatically against it.
Speaker: Funny how amateur nation has casually thrown around the Nazi name calling of conservatives and now those same people are openly brandishing swastikas.
Speaker: I guess the border wall isn't racist anymore now that it's President Coloring Book's idea.
Speaker: What was that, amateur nation?
Speaker: Nothing?
Speaker: Yep, that's what I thought.
Speaker: Because you're amateurs.
Speaker: Ever notice no one, famous or otherwise, announces they're switching to the Democrat Party?
Speaker: Or fleeing the Republican Party?
Speaker: Here's a hot stop tip.
Speaker: The all electric car company Lucid, the car motor trend named car of the year in 2022, loses $338,000 for every vehicle it makes this year.
Speaker: By the way, you can lease a Lucid Air Pure for only $749 a month with just $8,069 down.
Speaker: Lucid, the car for everyone.
Speaker: Hey, I got an idea.
Speaker: How about no?
Speaker: I've never had to qualify something as my truth.
Speaker: My truth is the amateur's way of saying I just said something so truth.
Speaker: I recently bought some heavy duty work gloves that have strong rubberized grips on the palms and fingers.
Speaker: The packaging mentioned that the gloves have SRS, also known as a sweat removal system, which is a small piece of felt on the thumb to wipe away sweat when I'm working.
Speaker: SRS.
Speaker: Oh, you mean my thumb?
Speaker: Yeah, it's right next to my index finger, my mucus removal system.
Speaker: It seems like the more effed up the topics are, the harder it is for me to find three pro things, but damn it, I find them every week.
Speaker: Three things that are done right.
Speaker: This is three pro things.
Speaker: Here's number one.
Speaker: Once again, funny how if men and women are the same, you don't see any women trying to compete against men in men's professional sports.
Speaker: I won't even call them trans athletes.
Speaker: It's literally men who cheat in sports.
Speaker: Oh, wait, hang on.
Speaker: This just in.
Speaker: The Swimming World Cup category for transgender athletes has been canceled due to receiving zero entries.
Speaker: I guess it's no fun when you don't get a guaranteed win and attention.
Speaker: It was never about having their own spaces.
Speaker: It's about invading women's spaces.
Speaker: This pro post by at G Mark Phillips on Instagram.
Speaker: Instead of offering women's psychological services to become comfortable with men being in their locker rooms, why are we not offering men who identify as women psychological services so they can become comfortable being in men's locker rooms?
Speaker: Number two.
Speaker: Amateur Nation Wants Equity, a simple three-syllable word, except Amateur Nation never said nor used that word until the media told them about it.
Speaker: As always, equity is another word they don't dive into, but rather chant and recite without considering the meaning and the real consequences of throwing equity at everything that they want without earning it.
Speaker: This audio from Professor Glenn Lurie, Professor of Economics at Brown University on Equity.
Speaker: Finally, I want to say equity is not equality.
Speaker: Equity, and I could name them, but I won't.
Speaker: The writers in the US who are so prominent now in, Ibram X. Kendi comes to mind.
Speaker: In promoting a certain ideology, assert, I see a disparity, I want equity.
Speaker: And by equity, they mean an equal representation.
Speaker: This is not equality.
Speaker: If you use a different standard of assessment in order to achieve equity, you've just patronized me.
Speaker: You've just communicated tacitly that you don't think I'm capable of performing according to the objective criteria of assessment as well as anybody else.
Speaker: I am now your client.
Speaker: I am now a ward.
Speaker: I go or come by your leave.
Speaker: This argument that we blacks must be made equal and you have to open up the doors and let us in, never mind that our test scores are not as great, is pathetic.
Speaker: It's a surrender of dignity.
Speaker: You will not be equal at the end of that argument, even if you get what you ask for.
Speaker: There's no substitute for earning the respect of your peers.
Speaker: If they grant it to you out of guilt or pity, they have just reduced you, not elevated you.
Speaker: Number three.
Speaker: Might as well tag on to that sentiment with this post by Charlie Kirk.
Speaker: I'll believe in white privilege the day I hear a single story of a black student claiming to be white on their college application to help them get in.
Speaker: Copy and paste the link from whatever platform you listen on and send it to a fellow pro or an amateur that is doing life wrong.
Speaker: And please leave a review.
Speaker: Watch me go after amateurs on my Drybar special, drybarcomedy.com slash L-O-U-S.
Speaker: Amateur Nation is not just a podcast.
Speaker: It's a movement.
Speaker: Remember, amateurs, we see you.
Speaker: You're not at home.
Speaker: Don't do life wrong.
Speaker: Go pro.
