The Decline of Common Sense and Rise of Amateur Behavior
00:00:00
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:00:04
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.
00:00:17
Speaker

Speaker
Type Amateur Nation.
00:01:10
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:15
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:01:21
Speaker
Attention whores, ignoramuses, stults, 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.
00:01:32
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:36
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with... Somebody called Santini.
00:01:39
Speaker
Hey, that's me, Lou Santini.
00:01:42
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:44
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:47
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:48
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:01:50
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.
00:02:10
Speaker
It's not just a podcast, it's
Podcast Announcements and Listener Engagement
00:02:12
Speaker
What the hell is going on?
00:02:14
Speaker
Well, three topics about amateurs, bite-sized fun on a la carte, and we top it off with some hope for the world with three pro things.
00:02:21
Speaker
Oh, and at the end of this episode, I reveal my gender!
00:02:28
Speaker
So just 73 other possibilities.
00:02:31
Speaker
This is episode 215, the gender reveal episode.
00:02:36
Speaker
As always, fans first.
00:02:38
Speaker
Shouts out to B. Rand Kilo, Amari Mendez, and Rahul Salwan, all listening to the show on SoundCloud, and Jacob Fultz of Tennessee, a newer listener of the podcast.
00:02:49
Speaker
Also, watch for another special presentation of Amateur Nation coming soon entitled, I'm Not a Conspiracy Theorist, but America Under Attack.
00:02:58
Speaker
And here is your post of the week.
00:03:01
Speaker
This comes from at Myra Flores 2022.
00:03:06
Speaker
Remember when the Democrat Party boycotted Goya Foods?
00:03:10
Speaker
Where is the outrage and boycott for Balenciaga?
00:03:14
Speaker
And of course I do.
00:03:15
Speaker
I never forget hypocrisy.
Controversial Discussions on Gender Identity and Transgender Issues
00:03:18
Speaker
And did you see attention whore Madonna still squirming in insecurity after the world commented on her shocking, freakish appearance at the Grammys posted yet another picture of herself with two photos,
00:03:33
Speaker
On the left, the freakish photo from the Grammys and another one that is new and improved with this caption.
00:03:39
Speaker
And I quote, Look how cute I am now that swelling from surgery has gone down, LOL.
00:03:45
Speaker
All right, this is important.
00:03:49
Speaker
Anytime someone posts LOL after making a statement like that where they need reassurance and they're more or less reassuring themselves,
00:04:00
Speaker
It reeks of insecurity.
00:04:03
Speaker
She knows she overdid it, and without extensive professional hair, makeup, and lighting, she just can't grasp that she's 64, and more importantly, that it's okay to look it.
00:04:15
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:04:17
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:04:21
Speaker
Men are getting their periods.
00:04:23
Speaker
Just take their words for it.
00:04:25
Speaker
As I said last week, if you're trans and people aren't getting your sex correct, you didn't do trans right.
00:04:32
Speaker
Here's a mentally ill man who looks nothing like a woman, and frankly, his voice sounds like no real biological woman I know.
00:04:40
Speaker
By the way, here's another tell.
00:04:43
Speaker
that this man isn't fully transitioned and it's an easy tell.
00:04:48
Speaker
His name is Mama Rose.
00:04:50
Speaker
Maybe you're not getting a joke.
00:04:52
Speaker
We get to dress like girls and act like girls.
00:04:56
Speaker
To that order, if a man truly felt like he was born in the wrong body, and those people do indeed exist, but they are so extremely rare.
00:05:06
Speaker
But I'll say it again.
00:05:07
Speaker
If a man truly felt like he was born in the wrong body and wanted to transition,
00:05:14
Speaker
I, with no medical background, but plenty of common sense, have compiled this list called How to Do Trans Right.
00:05:22
Speaker
Number one, go all the way and get rid of any and every sign of being a man.
00:05:28
Speaker
And that means losing the block and tackle, shaving the old Adam's apple, years of hormones, exercising in order to accent the new female attributes and possibly get breast implants.
00:05:39
Speaker
Not to mention the hair and or makeup and any other accessories that go along with it.
00:05:43
Speaker
I lived in Los Angeles for 24 years and I saw plenty of trans men who had me duped.
00:05:49
Speaker
I remember a female friend of mine mentioning how she got home from an overnight shift at her job and she saw a couple trans men coming out of a club late at night.
00:05:57
Speaker
And she told me, man, these trans guys were hotter than some women I know.
00:06:01
Speaker
You can't have a full beard and call yourself a woman.
00:06:04
Speaker
You're not done cooking.
00:06:08
Speaker
If you're going to transition and change your name to a woman's name, pick a realistic woman's name.
00:06:14
Speaker
Too many of these trans men pick names that are concepts or inanimate objects.
00:06:19
Speaker
Jazz, fire, or starlight.
00:06:22
Speaker
You're not a stripper.
00:06:23
Speaker
You're supposedly just a regular woman now.
00:06:28
Speaker
Stephanie is nice.
00:06:29
Speaker
Then, get your name changed legally on your driver's license and any and all forms that you would have to sign in the future.
00:06:39
Speaker
When you do the woman voice, don't do a caricature of a woman's voice.
00:06:44
Speaker
These overemphasized S sounds and overuse of pet names like sweetie and honey and baby.
00:06:51
Speaker
Real women, and that's what you want to be, right?
00:06:53
Speaker
Real women don't act and talk like teenage girls and babies.
00:06:57
Speaker
Number four, and finally, and this is a big one.
00:07:00
Speaker
That's what she said.
00:07:01
Speaker
If you're fully invested in being a woman,
00:07:04
Speaker
Your pronouns aren't even a topic of conversation because if you've done trans right and taken all the guesswork out of it, you'd fool the general public and live undercover, so to speak, letting the world know you indeed are a woman.
00:07:21
Speaker
If you're a woman, a believable woman, people won't bat an eye in calling you miss or miz or she or her.
00:07:29
Speaker
If you have to tell me your pronouns, you didn't do trans right.
00:07:33
Speaker
No biological woman I know calls herself they.
00:07:36
Speaker
Oh, and you're not a biological woman.
00:07:38
Speaker
You're a trans woman.
00:07:41
Speaker
Case in point, as I mentioned earlier, we now come to a man who calls himself Mama Rose.
00:07:48
Speaker
Remember all those Mama Roses you've run into all your life?
00:07:50
Speaker
Or all those women in your life who like the title Mama before their names?
00:07:55
Speaker
Anyway, this dude has one half of his head shaved.
00:07:58
Speaker
Okay, sure, some women do that.
00:08:00
Speaker
The other half is long and pink.
00:08:01
Speaker
Yes, teenage girls do that.
00:08:03
Speaker
A giant nose ring.
00:08:05
Speaker
Sure, men and women do that.
00:08:06
Speaker
And the over-the-top earring in one ear only.
00:08:10
Speaker
Because Mama Rose is edgy.
00:08:13
Speaker
It literally is how a man who has no desire to dress as a woman would dress if he were forced to dress as a woman if he lost a sports bet.
00:08:22
Speaker
Also, this dude is at least 40 years old and that much overweight.
00:08:25
Speaker
There is literally nothing feminine or womanly about this guy.
00:08:30
Speaker
But alas, he gets his period.
00:08:33
Speaker
Listen to this guy full of delusion and condescension.
00:08:38
Speaker
Okay, sweetie, so...
00:08:39
Speaker
Apparently, you're not wanting to understand or listen.
00:08:45
Speaker
So, hi, I'm Mama Rose.
00:08:49
Speaker
I am a transgendered woman.
00:08:51
Speaker
I go by she, her, they, them pronouns.
00:08:56
Speaker
And I can tell you right now, my period I experience every month is very real, very valid, and very painful.
00:09:07
Speaker
But you know what?
00:09:08
Speaker
You go ahead and keep invalidating trans women.
00:09:12
Speaker
You go ahead and keep telling them that their experience is not real.
00:09:19
Speaker
It's so dumb, it's brilliant.
00:09:24
Speaker
Follow-up questions.
00:09:25
Speaker
From where do you bleed?
00:09:28
Speaker
Where do you put tampons and or pads?
00:09:31
Speaker
So your uterine wall shedding is painful?
00:09:34
Speaker
Please, for the ladies and gentlemen of the jury, show me on the doll where your uterus is.
00:09:40
Speaker
Women listening to this podcast, amateur or pro, either way, are you not insulted by all this?
00:09:51
Speaker
But your feelings, your trendiness, your delusion, and mental illness is not my reality.
00:10:03
Speaker
First up, Grammy winner, oppressed victim, and multi-millionaire Sam Smith needs more attention.
00:10:09
Speaker
Fresh off the heels of a satanic Grammy performance which had him playing the world's most out-of-shape Satan.
00:10:15
Speaker
I mean, come on, I'm not a fan of Satan, but I've always pictured him pretty muscly.
00:10:20
Speaker
This headline from NME.com.
00:10:24
Speaker
Sam Smith corrects Alec Jones on the one show after being misgendered by Fisher Them comment.
00:10:32
Speaker
Is it me or are these headlines getting dumber by the week?
00:10:36
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:10:37
Speaker
The singer won the Best Pop Duo slash Group Performance Grammy with Kim Petras for Unholy earlier this month, but told the BBC about how they'd like to pursue the unlikely hobby of fishing after music.
Media and Entertainment: Alyssa Milano and Beyond
00:10:52
Speaker
I do love fishing, the singer said.
00:10:54
Speaker
I'd love to be a fisher them.
00:10:58
Speaker
Jones responded to ask if Smith meant something like a fly fisherman, to which the artist replied, I'd be any type of fisher them.
00:11:05
Speaker
One day, I'd like to just end my days fishing.
00:11:10
Speaker
Smith then elaborated that they fish in lakes and the sea, but has never done it alone.
00:11:15
Speaker
I don't know what the heck's going on here, but someone needs to get their asses kicked.
00:11:20
Speaker
Amateur Hollywood take two.
00:11:22
Speaker
From mydailyon.com, your headline, NBC cancels unstable Alyssa Milano's Who's the Boss reboot.
00:11:31
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:11:32
Speaker
Alyssa Milano's troubles just keep getting worse.
00:11:37
Speaker
What, her anxiety?
00:11:38
Speaker
Managing her $45 million net worth for literally some of the worst acting of all time?
00:11:44
Speaker
Taking heat for her macrame mask in 2020?
00:11:47
Speaker
But wait, there's more!
00:11:49
Speaker
The article says after making a fool of herself over Elon Musk, her fault, she was served a cease and desist by Volkswagen, her fault, sued by Elon Musk, her fault, and watched in horror as her car caught fire in a posh Soho neighborhood.
00:12:05
Speaker
All right, that's not her fault.
00:12:06
Speaker
The article says all that bad juju hasn't gone unnoticed either.
00:12:10
Speaker
Joe Barron, entertainment director at NBC, says Milano's Who's the Boss reboot is off the table.
00:12:17
Speaker
Barron said she's way too unstable to put her in charge of a huge project like that.
00:12:22
Speaker
Even with Tony Danza coaching her, she's bound to screw it up.
00:12:27
Speaker
The show was scheduled for at least two seasons and 36 episodes.
00:12:32
Speaker
It's not just back, Bernard.
00:12:33
Speaker
We're scrapping it.
00:12:36
Speaker
See, here's the thing.
00:12:37
Speaker
Alyssa Milano actually thinks that people not only want to see her back on TV, yes, because she's so iconic and a brilliant actor, but she thinks viewers would tune in regularly to see what she'll do next.
00:12:53
Speaker
She was a minor star of a mediocre sitcom from 1984 to 1992 in Who's the Boss?
00:13:00
Speaker
And Charmed, a show for teenage female viewers from 1998 to 2006.
00:13:05
Speaker
She hasn't been on a series regularly for 17 years.
00:13:11
Speaker
See what I mean about ego and lack of gratitude?
00:13:14
Speaker
Her net worth is $45 million.
00:13:16
Speaker
She was on not one, but two hit shows.
00:13:20
Speaker
She made money, had and has fame.
00:13:25
Speaker
As an entertainer, you want to work.
00:13:27
Speaker
But what is she bringing to the table?
00:13:30
Speaker
Answer, chaos and instability.
00:13:33
Speaker
The article continues.
00:13:35
Speaker
There's always a chance the show gets picked up by a streaming service.
00:13:38
Speaker
NBC's Peacock service says it has no interest.
00:13:41
Speaker
Milano's show was all about wokeness.
00:13:44
Speaker
She was going to play the wealthy single mom.
00:13:47
Speaker
Of course she's a single mom.
00:13:49
Speaker
Families are so 2000.
00:13:52
Speaker
who tossed her husband after realizing she was a lesbian all along.
00:13:56
Speaker
What a fresh concept.
00:13:58
Speaker
A non-traditional family with a man-hating woman making a go of it alone.
00:14:03
Speaker
But of course, she's wealthy.
00:14:05
Speaker
This is Hollywood.
00:14:06
Speaker
None of this is even remotely necessary.
00:14:09
Speaker
Here's where it gets really self-serving and ridiculous.
00:14:13
Speaker
The article says instead of hiring a hunky nanny and his cute little kid, Milano's character was looking to hire a slightly butch but still pretty housekeeper like maybe Joe from Facts of Life and her 19-year-old daughter, Chloe Moretz.
00:14:29
Speaker
Alyssa Milano said, I've always wanted to do a sordid scene with her.
00:14:34
Speaker
She's a hot little ticket.
00:14:35
Speaker
You fucking whore.
00:14:36
Speaker
Alyssa Milano must be incredible in bed.
00:14:42

Free Speech and Hate Speech Laws in Norway
00:16:56
Speaker
Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:17:04
Speaker
Hold still, there's more.
00:17:05
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:17:10
Speaker
Back to the topic of gender.
00:17:11
Speaker
This headline found everywhere.
00:17:14
Speaker
Norwegian filmmaker faces up to three years in prison for saying men cannot be lesbians.
00:17:22
Speaker
Fun fact, they can't.
00:17:25
Speaker
Tanya Jevjan, I hope I'm saying her Norwegian name correctly, a lesbian filmmaker and actress, was informed on November 17th of last year that she was under investigation for speaking out against prominent Norwegian activist Christine Gentoft on Facebook.
00:17:42
Speaker
Gentoft is a transgender female that often refers to herself as a lesbian mother.
00:17:50
Speaker
Gentoft previously accused another woman, Christina Ellingson, of transphobia for a similar claim.
00:17:58
Speaker
Ellingson is also under investigation and faces three years in jail if found guilty of violating Norway's hate speech law.
00:18:08
Speaker
Question, where's the hatred?
00:18:12
Speaker
The Oxford Dictionary defines hate as to feel intense or passionate dislike.
00:18:19
Speaker
And hatred as intense dislike or ill will.
00:18:23
Speaker
So again, where is the hatred?
00:18:26
Speaker
A rational person would agree that disagreement is not hate.
00:18:31
Speaker
Facts are not hate.
00:18:33
Speaker
And if we're playing by amateur nation's rules that my feelings are so strong it means it's factual, even though it's unnecessary, why can't that inane rationale apply on her end, on the other side?
00:18:46
Speaker
See, that's the problem with feelings.
00:18:48
Speaker
When both sides have them and both sides think that they're facts, nothing is resolved.
00:18:54
Speaker
Feelings, they're so much easier to control than facts.
00:18:57
Speaker
Watch for the Oxford Dictionary people to redefine hate as to disagree with a person, opinion, or philosophy, but not fact.
00:19:07
Speaker
Then amateur nation can say, it's in the dictionary!
00:19:12
Speaker
The article continues.
00:19:13
Speaker
The post on Jeff John's Facebook page under investigation read, It's just as impossible for men to become a lesbian as it is for men to become pregnant.
00:19:24
Speaker
Men are men regardless of their sexual fetishes.
00:19:30
Speaker
If you're, pardon the pun, ballsy enough to declare yourself trans going from a man to a woman and still like women, but now say you're a lesbian,
00:19:41
Speaker
Why can't you just say, I'm an effeminate man who still prefers women?
00:19:45
Speaker
Why go to all the trouble?
00:19:47
Speaker
Answer, to be trendy and get attention.
00:19:53
Speaker
As Unfiltered Patriot said on Instagram, put 100 women and 10 men on a deserted island.
00:20:01
Speaker
In 100 years, you will have a community of men, women, boys, and girls.
00:20:05
Speaker
Put 100 trans women and 10 men on a deserted island.
00:20:10
Speaker
In 100 years, you will find the skeletons of 110 men.
00:20:16
Speaker
You can't change sex.
00:20:19
Speaker
Back to the article.
00:20:22
Speaker
Jeff John has said that she intentionally posted her Facebook message to draw attention to Norway's hate speech laws.
00:20:30
Speaker
Jeff John's comments appeared to be under investigation for falling under a 2020 amendment to the country's penal code that added gender identity and gender expression under protected categories from hate speech.
00:20:44
Speaker
People found guilty of hate speech face a fine or up to one year in prison for private remarks and a maximum of three years for public comments.
00:20:53
Speaker
Women's rights activists, including the Women's Declaration International Norway, of which Ellingson is a representative, have claimed that the amendment undermined free speech and expression in the country.
00:21:07
Speaker
I mean, come on, when facts are presented, or even opinions for that matter, Norway wants to silence those.
00:21:15
Speaker
What is amateur nation so afraid of?
00:21:17
Speaker
Easy answer, losing power.
00:21:20
Speaker
This has zero to do with standing up for the rights of gay or trans people.
00:21:26
Speaker
Sidebar, you don't find it odd that all of a sudden so many people, and by that I mean less than 1% of the global population and less than 1% of the population in America, are that bad.
00:21:41
Speaker
uncomfortable and dissatisfied with their birth gender?
00:21:46
Speaker
That seems normal to you?
00:21:48
Speaker
You're not questioning what kind of chemical changes have been made in the minds and bodies of those who say they were born in the wrong body?
00:21:56
Speaker
You're not wondering what kind of brainwashing has taken place?
00:21:59
Speaker
What kind of psyop has been in place?
00:22:02
Speaker
why it takes decades for this to take effect.
00:22:05
Speaker
You're just saying.
00:22:06
Speaker
And then around the late 20-teens, more people felt free enough to say, I'm the opposite of my birth gender.
00:22:15
Speaker
They had every right to express their feelings and exercise their right to pursue happiness per the Constitution before.
00:22:24
Speaker
There's no law that said they couldn't.
00:22:27
Speaker
They were not denied services or rights.
Transgender Identification and Societal Impacts
00:22:32
Speaker
Because the corrupt governments, plural, worldwide, are pandering to the loudest, craziest, most destructive people and using them as soldiers to undermine the day-to-day life and operations of a sane society and to distract that same sane society from the real things happening.
00:22:52
Speaker
that the corrupt politicians and those in the World Economic Forum who are pushing the new world order are trying to accomplish.
00:23:02
Speaker
Do you really see these trans people living long lives into their 90s?
00:23:07
Speaker
Between the hormones, the anxiety, the stress, the emotions, not to mention the side effects of drugs and surgeries, how do you not see that their lives have been sabotaged by, pick one or all of the above, social media propaganda, pandering governments, and a corrupt medical establishment, and big pharma?
00:23:27
Speaker
Lou, what's the big deal?
00:23:29
Speaker
How does that affect you, Lou?
00:23:30
Speaker
Answer, it doesn't.
00:23:32
Speaker
It affects the entire world.
00:23:35
Speaker
And then amateurs say, hey, if they're mentally ill, why are you making fun of the mentally ill?
00:23:41
Speaker
Because other types of mental illness aren't trendy.
00:23:47
Speaker
And most importantly, other types of mental illness don't expect me to join them on their ride.
00:23:56
Speaker
Amateur nation's feelings about what kind of sex they feel like are so strong that they're presented as facts.
00:24:05
Speaker
So why does the Norwegian government care about who thinks otherwise?
00:24:10
Speaker
Why silence what they deem as opinion?
00:24:15
Speaker
These are Tanya Jeff Johns' feelings presented as facts.
00:24:19
Speaker
The same way that Christine Gentoft feels that, as a trans woman and mother, she can be a lesbian.
00:24:29
Speaker
If you're going through all the physical, mental, and emotional trauma and suffering that goes with changing your gender, why stay attracted to the same sex you were before you changed?
00:24:44
Speaker
It changes daily with your mood, depending on your sleep and what you ate and the weather.
00:24:48
Speaker
All right, fine, I exaggerated the last few, but amateur nation does indeed say gender is fluid.
00:24:55
Speaker
By the way, Norway is considered one of the most liberal countries in Europe for LGBTQ individuals, even allowing people to legally change their gender without the need for a medical diagnosis.
00:25:10
Speaker
And now some final thoughts on this subject.
00:25:14
Speaker
We all have that crazy friend or that crazy neighbor down the street.
00:25:19
Speaker
And while they're usually harmless, when it's the exception and not the rule, it's chaos when sane people who, like Amateur Nation preaches, follow the science, are surrounded by people trying to convince themselves that they're normal and rational.
00:25:36
Speaker
And worse, laws are passed where the sane are not only unprotected, but persecuted, canceled, and arrested.
00:25:44
Speaker
persecuted for their beliefs, beliefs that are indeed factual.
00:25:49
Speaker
The power is not slowly but quickly, favoring the irrational, overly emotional, delusional, and insane.
00:25:59
Speaker
Society can have an entire portion of the population of people living reality that's only in their heads and feelings while expecting others to monitor, watch, react, and then go along with whatever amateur nation feels that particular day.
A La Carte: Varied Social and Cultural Commentary
00:26:15
Speaker
Freedom without sanity is chaos.
00:26:28
Speaker
Time for some nibbles.
00:26:29
Speaker
This is a la carte.
00:26:33
Speaker
Radical black activist Angela Davis recently learned that she is descended from a Mayflower passenger.
00:26:41
Speaker
Translation for amateur nation, one of her ancestors is one of the original white settlers of our nation.
00:26:47
Speaker
As alert pro Victor Zancanella posted, we can't pick and choose our ancestors, nor are we doomed to follow their footsteps.
00:26:58
Speaker
Hey, do you think they ever called the Apostle James Jim?
00:27:02
Speaker
Oh, Jim, Jimmy, Jimmy boy, get over here, you son of a bitch.
00:27:07
Speaker
Well, that's not in the Bible, but it should be.
00:27:10
Speaker
I've come to the conclusion that Lakami James is literally too unintelligent to even understand that he sold his soul.
00:27:21
Speaker
pharmaceutical giant Merck said themselves its COVID-19 pill was ineffective in reducing the risk of infection in people exposed to an infected individual in the same household.
00:27:42
Speaker
Build up our immune systems.
00:27:48
Speaker
Get a little exercise.
00:27:52
Speaker
I miss the days when Disney would just put subliminal imagery in their movies.
00:27:57
Speaker
Hey, remember when Amazon Prime meant, I'll get it in two days?
00:28:01
Speaker
Amen to that, brother.
00:28:04
Speaker
President Xi Jinping went to Ukraine to check on his money laundering, bio labs, and trafficking operation.
00:28:10
Speaker
Former President Donald Trump checked on Americans in dire need in East Palestine, Ohio.
00:28:15
Speaker
America last versus America first.
00:28:19
Speaker
And speaking of the president, he said in quotation marks, in honor of the recent President's Day, the rocket Celestis launched the hair follicles of former presidents into space, including JFK, Ronald Reagan, George Washington, and Dwight Eisenhower.
00:28:38
Speaker
If the United States government did it, I'm sure they had a good reason.
00:28:43
Speaker
And finally, ABC has declined to renew Whoopi Goldberg's contract for The View.
00:28:47
Speaker
The commie, with the real name Karen, no joke, left Twitter too.
00:28:51
Speaker
No View, no Twitter.
00:28:53
Speaker
How will we know who or what she hates?
Three Pro Things: Positive Perspectives
00:28:59
Speaker
I always love ending the show on a positive note with three pro things, but these are choice.
00:29:05
Speaker
This is three pro things.
00:29:21
Speaker
By the way, all three pro things are two-fers.
00:29:24
Speaker
First pro thing topic, racism.
00:29:27
Speaker
And first up to discuss it, actor Idris Elba, the hunky black British actor who has been in action movies and a brief run on the classic show The Office, had this to say.
00:29:37
Speaker
As humans, we are obsessed with race.
00:29:41
Speaker
That obsession can hinder people's growth.
00:29:43
Speaker
Racism is very real.
00:29:45
Speaker
But from my perspective, it's only as powerful as you allow it to be.
00:29:49
Speaker
I stopped describing myself as a black actor when I realized it put me in a box.
00:29:53
Speaker
We've got to grow.
00:29:55
Speaker
Our skin is no more than that.
00:30:01
Speaker
And to tag onto that, listen to political commentator and conservative talk radio host Larry Elder crush the idea of reparations with this mic drop.
00:30:12
Speaker
Yeah, you know, reparations is the extraction of money from people who were never slave owners to be given to people who were never slaves.
00:30:18
Speaker
And Pete and Leo, what I want to know is, do I get the $5 million on top of the $233,000 that Gavin Newsom's task force already said that we get?
00:30:26
Speaker
And this business is about supplementing income for the next 250 years.
00:30:29
Speaker
Where did that come from?
00:30:31
Speaker
America wasn't a country until 1789.
00:30:33
Speaker
Slavery ended in 1865.
00:30:36
Speaker
So that's kind of fuzzy math.
00:30:38
Speaker
And as you pointed out, Leo, California was not a slave state.
00:30:41
Speaker
San Francisco was not a slave city.
00:30:43
Speaker
Michael Medved says only about 5% of white Americans have any sort of generational connection to slavery.
00:30:48
Speaker
So why should everybody else pay?
00:30:49
Speaker
Furthermore, slavery was a Democrat institution.
00:30:52
Speaker
Why don't Democrats pay?
00:31:10
Speaker
Speaking of mic drops, here's a pair.
00:31:14
Speaker
Hang on, who to play first?
00:31:15
Speaker
Okay, ladies first.
00:31:17
Speaker
Here's Georgia U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene reaming former Twitter executive Yoel Roth a new one.
00:31:25
Speaker
I'm so glad that you're censored down.
00:31:26
Speaker
I'm so glad you've lost your jobs.
00:31:28
Speaker
Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter.
00:31:31
Speaker
And you know what?
00:31:32
Speaker
Let's talk about something a little bit further.
00:31:35
Speaker
It's amazing to me, Mr. Roth, as the head and trust of safety at Twitter, your ability, or should I say inability, to remove child porn.
00:31:48
Speaker
Now, here's something that disgust me about you.
00:31:51
Speaker
In your doctoral dissertation entitled Gay Data, you argued that minors should have access to Grindr, an adult male gay hookup app.
00:32:05
Speaker
You know, Elon Musk took over Twitter and he banned 44,000 accounts that were promoting child porn.
00:32:13
Speaker
You permanently banned my Twitter account, but you allowed child porn all over Twitter.
00:32:21
Speaker
Twitter had become a platform, you said, connecting queer young adults.
00:32:25
Speaker
You also wrote on Twitter in 2010, can high school students ever meaningfully consent to sex with their teachers?
00:32:32
Speaker
In 2021, while you were the director of trust and safety on Twitter, an underage boy and his mother announced a lawsuit against Twitter.
00:32:43
Speaker
Because Twitter was benefiting from and refused to remove a lewd video featuring this boy and another minor.
00:32:52
Speaker
That is repulsive.
00:32:55
Speaker
And to tag onto that, here's Kentucky Senator Rand Paul in a hearing way back in 2021.
00:33:02
Speaker
That Senator Paul was already ahead of the hoax, pantsing Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.
00:33:09
Speaker
Are you a doctor, a medical doctor?
00:33:12
Speaker
I have worked over 30 years on health policy.
00:33:14
Speaker
You're not a medical doctor.
00:33:16
Speaker
Do you have a science degree?
00:33:19
Speaker
And yet you travel the country calling people flat earthers who have had COVID, looked at studies of millions of people and made their own personal decision that their immunity they naturally acquired is sufficient.
00:33:33
Speaker
But you presume somehow to tell over 100 million Americans who survived COVID
00:33:40
Speaker
that we have no right to determine our own medical care.
00:33:43
Speaker
You alone are on high and you've made these decisions, a lawyer with no scientific background, no medical degree.
00:33:50
Speaker
This is an arrogance coupled with an authoritarianism that is unseemly and un-American.
00:33:56
Speaker
You, sir, are the one ignoring the science.
00:34:04
Speaker
And speaking of COVID and the untested gene experiment, here's professional poker player Jeffrey Farns in a resurfaced leaked audio recorded on live TV saying he wished he had never gotten the COVID-19 vaccine.
00:34:24
Speaker
I wish I never would have got the vaccine.
00:34:26
Speaker
I've been having chest pain ever since I've had that thing.
00:34:29
Speaker
You're still having it?
00:34:31
Speaker
Yeah, every time to time.
00:34:32
Speaker
I was saying that you get hard arteries.
00:34:36
Speaker
So I need to go get it checked out.
00:34:37
Speaker
But I mean, but ever since, dude, it's just.
00:34:45
Speaker
Why did he decide to get it then also?
00:34:47
Speaker
Because I wanted to come play the World Cup.
00:34:48
Speaker
They didn't have that guy by miss right now.
00:34:51
Speaker
They didn't have that.
00:34:53
Speaker
As a foreigner, you can't get into... Brian Kim also ascended the rail earlier.
00:34:56
Speaker
And I'm saving the best for last.
00:34:58
Speaker
Here's Buffalo Bills receiver, 24-year-old DeMar Hamlin, being interviewed by former New York Giant and now TV host on Good Morning America, Michael Strahan, talking about his recovery from collapsing on the field and nearly dying during a Monday night football game.
00:35:14
Speaker
24, peak physical condition, can run circled around me right now.
00:35:22
Speaker
How did doctors describe what happened to you?
00:35:28
Speaker
Um, um, that's something I want to stay away from.
00:35:39
Speaker
Those pauses were the sounds of his soul leaving his body.
Final Thoughts on Professionalism and Competence
00:35:46
Speaker
I know what I said.
00:35:47
Speaker
Give me one solid reason why he had to stay away from answering that question.
00:35:53
Speaker
Where's the gratitude?
00:35:55
Speaker
Where's the appreciation for life?
00:35:58
Speaker
That's not normal, ethical, or moral.
00:36:01
Speaker
The man has no character.
00:36:06
Speaker
Nearly 1,700 athletes have collapsed from heart attacks after taking the untested gene experiment.
00:36:18
Speaker
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:36:24
Speaker
Oh, by the way, as for my gender reveal...
00:36:28
Speaker
I guess you could call that a dick.
