Speaker: Welcome to the show.
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: God, I admire you.
Speaker: I'm blushing.
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.
Speaker: And 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 239.
Speaker: Now with 25% more baseless Trump indictments.
Speaker: On today's episode, Lizzo, the EV hoax rolls on.
Speaker: And this week, and let me get this straight.
Speaker: Plus, of course, a la carte and three pro things.
Speaker: Pro Nation mentioned first, of course.
Speaker: Shouts out to Richard Sherman of Calabasas, California.
Speaker: Heidi Garcia 401, Mazervas, Phil G. Thrill, Joan Shimo Bowser, Deborah Franklin, April Mom Freedom, and Together in Truth Report all on Instagram.

Speaker: Here is your post of the week, posted by atTogetherInTruthReport on Instagram and said by Martin Luther King Jr. Very simple.
Speaker: Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor.
Speaker: It must be demanded by the oppressed.
Speaker: Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
Speaker: Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
Speaker: Step one.
Speaker: Topic number one.
Speaker: Well, Lizzo's lawsuit is bananas.
Speaker: Bananas covered in chocolate syrup and whipped cream with a side of ice cream and fries and served inside a vagina.
Speaker: Don't worry, that last part will make sense in a minute.
Speaker: Here's the story.
Speaker: In this ever-developing story, according to TMZ.com, Lizzo... Is she a great big fat person?
Speaker: Yeah, we cover this.
Speaker: Lizzo is speaking out for the first time since being sued by three of her former backup dancers who claim she sexually harassed them.
Speaker: The story goes on to say three of Lizzo's former backup dancers, Ariana Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noel Rodriguez, claim she subjected them to nude entertainment shows in Amsterdam and Paris on tour earlier this year to what they say was the clear discomfort of her employees.
Speaker: The women say Lizzo pressured dancers to interact with sex performers at Bananen Bar in Amsterdam, where patrons are known to catch dildos launched from the performers' vaginas and to eat bananas out of the performers' vaginas.
Speaker: Hang on.
Speaker: Launched?
Speaker: Thanks for ruining vaginas and bananas, Lizzo.
Speaker: Hey, fatty!
Speaker: You are fat!
Speaker: Meanwhile, according to the Daily Mail.com, director Sophia Nail Allison has branded Lizzo...
Speaker: Well, no, not that kind of branding.
Speaker: Even I think that's kind of cruel.
Speaker: She has branded Lizzo as a narcissistic bully as she doubled down on the singer's toxic behavior in her latest post.
Speaker: Allison, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker, shed more light about what she allegedly experienced while working with Lizzo on a documentary back in 2019.
Speaker: Because what the world needs is a documentary about Lizzo.
Speaker: Allison followed it up on her Instagram stories recently, alleging Lizzo's brand was merely, quote, a curated facade.
Speaker: She shared her solidarity with those who endured similar experiences working with the artist and her team.
Speaker: Allison said, to be clear, since I've spoken out, I've had others privately share their very similar experiences, and I have also been affirmed by people who witnessed what I went through.
Speaker: She said Lizzo creates an extremely toxic and hostile working environment and undermines the work, labor, and authority of other black and brown women in the process.
Speaker: Except the article didn't say women, W-O-M-E-N.
Speaker: It was W-O-M-X-N.
Speaker: I don't know how to pronounce that, nor will I dignify pronouncing that.
Speaker: She goes on to say she is a narcissistic bully and has built her brand off of lies.
Speaker: I was excited to support and protect a black woman through the documentary process, but quickly learned her image and message was a curated facade.
Speaker: Lizzo was specifically accused of disability discrimination, creating a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, and failing to stop said issues.
Speaker: Show business is inherently evil.
Speaker: Nope, this just in.
Speaker: Another charge and indictment has been filed against Donald Trump.
Speaker: This time, it appears to be jaywalking.
Speaker: The DOJ considers life in prison.
Speaker: Okay, moving on.
Speaker: Being body shamed by Lizzo is like being called stupid and corrupt by Joe Biden.
Speaker: It's like being called a drunk and corrupt by Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker: It's like being age shamed by Dianne Feinstein.
Speaker: It's like being penis shamed by Michelle Obama.
Speaker: It's like being patriotism shamed by Megan Rapinoe.
Speaker: And now this.
Speaker: And now for step two.
Speaker: Topic number two.
Speaker: Sure, electric vehicles are shiny and techy and the latest thing, but they're expensive, clunky, and they're hard to sell or throw away.
Speaker: They're the laser discs of the automotive world.
Speaker: It's been discovered that Ford loses nearly $60,000 for every EV sold and will lose $4.5 billion, with a B, on EVs in the first and second quarters this year alone.
Speaker: I'd like to think in some small way I helped to make that happen.
Speaker: Keep in mind, this article is from England, from the Daily Mail.
Speaker: Here's your headline.
Speaker: Why electric cars are not green machines.
Speaker: The environmental benefit of EVs may never be felt as their production creates up to 70% more emissions than petrol equivalents.
Speaker: Here's the article.
Speaker: Electric cars need to be used for tens of thousands of miles before they offset the higher releases.
Speaker: But there are fears that many such vehicles will never hit their mileage target as owners upgrade to newer models, leaving swaths of used electric cars sitting unwanted.
Speaker: By the way, before I continue with that, let's go into the future.
Speaker: Again, this is England.
Speaker: I've been to Europe.
Speaker: I've been to what?
Speaker: England, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, and many cities within all those countries.
Speaker: There really is no need for, you know, big SUVs unless you're having a business that requires, you know, a lot of passenger space, something like that.
Speaker: Generally, if you're just a regular citizen, you want something small, compact, great gas mileage because, one, gas is even more expensive in Europe than it is here in America, and two, because Europe is such an old part of the world, the roads are narrower and they're cobblestone and they're smaller and the whole thing.
Speaker: I think you understand that.
Speaker: So what they're saying is it's going to take tens of thousands of miles for EVs to even pay off.
Speaker: But because owners want to upgrade to newer models, that means the old EVs will sit and rot somewhere.
Speaker: But you can't have a gas stove.
Speaker: You can't have a plastic straw.
Speaker: You can't have, what, ice cream delivered now because Biden wants solar panels on ice cream delivery trucks.
Speaker: We are going to have tens of thousands of EVs that have batteries that are toxic that are going to catch fire and rot because we have no disposal strategy for them sitting in these giant landfills.
Speaker: But it's all about saving the earth and the climate, right?
Speaker: You know I'm right, because I'm right.
Speaker: Volvo revealed in 2021 that the emission from the production of electric cars could be up to 70% higher than gas models and said it would require between 30,000 and 68,400 miles for an EV to become greener overall, which typically takes four to nine years.
Speaker: Fuck!
Speaker: Even in the future, nothing works!
Speaker: This is chiefly due to the batteries used to power electric cars.
Speaker: They require raw materials such as cobalt and lithium that need to be mined in places such as Africa and South America before being transported across the globe.
Speaker: And don't forget about China and Afghanistan.
Speaker: There's a reason the U.S. left Afghanistan in a hurry.
Speaker: I wonder if it has to do with China buying mines there.
Speaker: And don't forget about batteries that explode, can't be put out when they're on fire, nor can they be disposed of safely.
Speaker: I guess when it comes to EVs, amateurs yelling, save the earth, only mean the air, not the dirt and the water and the human suffering part.

Speaker: The honor and remember flag is a nationally recognized symbol that sends a message of appreciation for the sacrifice made by our fallen heroes and their families.
Speaker: The flag flies at many NASCAR races around the country and you can help honor our nation's fallen military members and remember the eternal sacrifice of their service by flying the flag too.
Speaker: Text flag
Speaker: Back to you, fuckers.
Speaker: All right, now step three.
Speaker: Topic number three.
Speaker: Hit me!
Speaker: It's time for This Week in So Let Me Get This Straight.
Speaker: A Native American group has threatened a national boycott of the Washington Commanders unless the NFL team reverses course and changes its name back to the Washington Redskins.
Speaker: The Native American Guardians Association, also known as NAGA, wrote on Twitter that the group, along with its founder and president, Eunice Davidson, have sent a letter to the Washington Commanders, ownership and key leadership, formally requesting the team revitalize its relationship with the American Indian community and rightfully change their name back to the Redskins.
Speaker: The letter talked about the history of the Washington football team and its relationship with the Native American community, dating back to its 1933 season when they were called the Boston Redskins.
Speaker: The letter also states, and this is my favorite part, should we need to encourage a national boycott similar to what happened with Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light, which is now down $27 billion, in all caps she wrote, we will do just that.
Speaker: So let me get this straight.
Speaker: But the Cleveland Indians name is racist?
Speaker: Your move Cleveland Guardians.
Speaker: What do you say?
Speaker: Want to win a fan base back?
Speaker: Do some good for American pride?
Speaker: So let me get this straight.
Speaker: The corrupt FBI killed an overweight elderly Utah man who walks with a cane who allegedly posted online threats towards President Coloring Book.
Speaker: But comedian Kathy Griffin can hold up a bloody head of President Trump on Twitter.
Speaker: Got it.
Speaker: Here's one from Wellness7Warrior on Instagram.
Speaker: Take it away.
Speaker: in turn setting the stage for the current war against Russia.
Speaker: Evidence of the bribe was also in Hunter Biden's laptop, which the FBI also had, but that they swore was Russian disinformation and infiltrated social media to censor during the 2020 campaign, all while the FBI investigates Trump for having classified documents, despite the FBI admittedly letting Hillary Clinton off for a similar charge in 2016, when they were simultaneously launching the Russiagate investigation into Donald Trump using falsified evidence provided by Trump.
Speaker: Another trumped-up charge against Donald Trump.
Speaker: Apparently, he recorded a baseball game without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball.
Speaker: Department of Justice seeking the death penalty.
Speaker: I guess the latest Trump indictment means the Biden crime family did something else even worse.
Speaker: The hits just keep coming.
Speaker: So let me get this straight.
Speaker: I should always follow the science blindly, amateur nation?
Speaker: This just in for the UK government.
Speaker: 92% of COVID deaths in 2022 were triple vaxxed.
Speaker: So let me get this straight.
Speaker: If you or I lied on a government form about having a drug passed when purchasing a gun, or got caught committing treason, or got caught buying hookers, or got caught doing coke, we would all go to jail.
Speaker: But if you're president coloring books, kid, you're free to go with a slap on the wrist.
Speaker: So let me get this straight, amateur nation.
Speaker: All cops are bastards.
Speaker: We should defund the police.
Speaker: Well, in third world country El Salvador, homicide is down 92%.
Speaker: But how?
Speaker: Well, Salvadorian President Bukele cracked down on gangs and jailed 65,000 criminals.
Speaker: It seems, get this, that the citizens like peace and safety, giving their president a 90% approval rating.
Speaker: Let's munch on some a la carte items, shall we?
Speaker: Watch for Hunter Biden to commit suicide.
Speaker: Hillary Clinton will see to that.
Speaker: And then watch pro-nation be blamed as a nation mourns.
Speaker: Amateur nation, that is.
Speaker: Pro-nation's done coddling these weak, corrupt communist incompetents.
Speaker: It's been discovered that Barack Okami wrote an ex-girlfriend in the past repeatedly stating that he, quote, repeatedly fantasized about making love to men.
Speaker: Is it unusual for my boyfriend to touch my anus?
Speaker: Only if by boyfriend you mean the former first lady.
Speaker: Nobody wants to see your dick, dude.
Speaker: Yeah, just ask their former chef, Tafari Campbell.
Speaker: And actually, that would put a lot of rumors to rest, dude.
Speaker: Seeing Michelle Obama's penis is like the ring.
Speaker: Before you die, you see the wang.
Speaker: Male testes confirmed.
Speaker: Communist China has pumped $17 million into more than 143 kindergarten through 12 school districts in the United States to better program, I mean educate your kids.
Speaker: That's normal.
Speaker: Jesus, be more gross and chineasy.
Speaker: So let me get this straight.
Speaker: Amateur Nation wants us to use paper straws, but why do they only offer plastic bags at my grocery store?
Speaker: I buy $50 worth of groceries, in other words, seven items, and somehow I leave with 23 plastic bags.
Speaker: Bring back the paper bags with the handles built in, you idiots.
Speaker: Oh, this just in.
Speaker: Another baseless charge against Donald Trump.
Speaker: This time, hang on, looking, looking, it says they are charging Donald Trump because, quote, he knows what he did.
Speaker: Hmm.
Speaker: Woke commie amateur, mostly known for subway commercials and purple hair, can now add something else to be known for.
Speaker: The worst choke in women's soccer history and blowing it in penalty kicks in the Women's World Cup against Sweden.
Speaker: Girl sports were a joke.
Speaker: Guess she was originally paid enough based on her skill level.
Speaker: That should kill whatever dismal ratings women's soccer had.
Speaker: And now that the women's soccer players make more money combined with those low ratings and the ill will towards the team that has maybe three players who are proud Americans, that should all but kill the U.S. women's soccer program.
Speaker: Good job, ladies.
Speaker: Now Megan can devote more time to wacky hair colors, subway commercials, and pleading for biological men to compete against her former teammates that she leaves behind.
Speaker: I got no more use for this guy.
Speaker: Did you know August 23rd is Go Topless Day.
Speaker: Fact, it was created to support the right of women to go topless in public and bring attention to gender equality.
Speaker: Motive to see topless women.
Speaker: Ah, empowerment.
Speaker: That's right, their breasts.
Speaker: Big deal.
Speaker: It's time for This Week in Biden Babbles.
Speaker: President Coloring Book, what it is, bro.
Speaker: You said it is what it is.
Speaker: Well, it is what it is because he who's who he is.
Speaker: That's why it is what it is.
Speaker: That's just you saying a bunch of things.
Speaker: Time now for three pro things.
Speaker: Three things that thankfully are done right.
Speaker: Number one.
Speaker: You know, this equity and everything crap is already fried, not to mention it's in your face in areas that never had issues to begin with.
Speaker: Don't believe me, amateurs who might be listening?
Speaker: Recently, I had to book a hotel on Hotels.com for a private event that I'm emceeing in Detroit, Michigan.
Speaker: I'm reading reviews, you know, how many stars, etc.
Speaker: Before I make my choice, and one of the boxes to tick was under Traveler Experience, and it noted that my particular hotel was LGBTQ Welcoming.
Speaker: I defy you to name one hotel that would A. Ask a guest about their sexuality and B. Discriminate against them for their sexuality and C. You can't.
Speaker: But somehow amateurs see this and think, oh, I'll be coddled here.
Speaker: I have a safe space.
Speaker: This from the Daily Wire.
Speaker: A company in Western Australia has generated headlines over its job advertisement for a not woke employee, which included a message stating that the company knows what a woman is.
Speaker: The small IT company called Wallace Computer Solutions in Australia posted an online ad that it was searching for an employee not interested in pushing their pronouns who would like to join its MSP L2 Plus technician team.
Speaker: It said, we are looking for an MSP technician who is now looking for a position in a company who is not woke and values diversity of thought.
Speaker: Under the section of the job listing that provides core position details, it said those interested in applying were informed that there were no requirements for pronouns and that we know what a woman is.
Speaker: In the job description section, Wallace Computer Solutions promised the employee we would never be forced to get any medical treatment.
Speaker: and that prospective employees were not required to have COVID vaccine or any other vaccine to work.
Speaker: Last year, the same company got some attention when it advertised an open position for an unvaccinated remote MSP technician job.
Speaker: The managing director Nathaniel Wallace admitted that there was more attention on his ad than expected.
Speaker: He said he wanted to make it clear the company's stance of what he called the contentious view on the COVID vaccine.
Speaker: The article continues where he said, prior to the advent of the COVID-19 vaccine, I expressed to our team,
Speaker: My conviction that medical decisions should remain a personal choice.
Speaker: I firmly stand by this position, he added.
Speaker: It has always been and will continue to be the prerogative of our staff members to decide whether or not they wish to receive vaccinations or any medical treatment.
Speaker: We respect their personal autonomy and do not seek to influence these decisions.
Speaker: And the article says, if Australia can do it, so can America.
Speaker: Number two.
Speaker: You know, I understand that not all vegans and or vegetarians are such because they are making some kind of political statement.
Speaker: Maybe they have allergies to certain meats and or can't process them digestively.
Speaker: Or maybe they just simply like the way they feel when they avoid meat.
Speaker: Not this host, but I do respect people's choices as to what they put in their bodies.
Speaker: As always, just mind your own business about what I eat.
Speaker: But what I won't agree with is that we have to kill cows for the climate because of the farts and the why should something die so you can live vegan and vegetarian crap.
Speaker: Man is carnivorous.
Speaker: Not a necessity, but it is in our DNA.
Speaker: It's why we have incisors in our face.
Speaker: I don't want animals to die cruelly, of course, or in meat processing plants, which is why I buy as much of my meat from local farms.
Speaker: It's definitely worth the extra few bucks to get fresh meat, local meat, and have animals that hopefully aren't mistreated.
Speaker: Listen to rock legend and hunting legend Ted Nugent drop this truth bomb on what really goes on when vegans want you to avoid meat.
Speaker: If you really want to kill the most things, be a vegan.
Speaker: Because the farmers who protect your beings kill everything.
Speaker: I kill one animal per arrow.
Speaker: In order to grow tofu, you have to kill every ground squirrel, every vole, every shrew, every snake, every turtle, every frog, every bird, every rabbit.
Speaker: And number three.
Speaker: All right, let's end on some funny.
Speaker: Meet comedian James Donald Forbes McCann.
Speaker: He got the shot, and he regrets it.
Speaker: the vaccine!
Speaker: I'm sure it's fine, but I just wish when the state told me to do something, I'd be the sort of person who said no.
Speaker: But it turns out I'm the sort of person who says, fine.
Speaker: I don't understand what's going on, you're telling me it's important, okay.
Speaker: And all they had to do was say, you won't be allowed to go into pubs for like a month, and I was like, put it in me.
Speaker: That's what I'm upset about is that I had a principal temporarily.
Speaker: If I was in Nazi Germany, I would have stood up to the regime.
Speaker: I wouldn't stand up to not being able to go to a pub for a month.
Speaker: I would have been like, Anne Frank, she's in that attic.
Speaker: There I saw her.
Speaker: It doesn't matter what the point of principle was.
Speaker: The point is I would have been a Jill.
Speaker: And I have to live with that for the rest of my three or four more years before I have a heart attack.
Speaker: Want a free, no amateurs tee?
Speaker: Email me.
Speaker: Something I can use.
Speaker: My Drybar special is drybarcomedy.com slash L-O-U-S.
Speaker: Copy the link from whatever platform you listen on to someone who you think would like the show.
Speaker: And leave a review.
Speaker: Amateur Nation is not just a podcast.
Speaker: It's a movement.
Speaker: Remember amateurs.
Speaker: See you.
Speaker: Not at home.
Speaker: Don't do life wrong.
Speaker: Go pro.
Speaker: Don't be an amateur.
Speaker: For Amateur Nation, I'm Lou Santini, and this has been a big, major production.
Speaker: He said it is what it is.
Speaker: Well, it is what it is because he who is who he is.
Speaker: That's why it is what it is.
