Introduction and Podcast Purpose
00:00:00
Speaker
I'd like to kill Lou Santini.
00:00:29
Speaker
Here's another review.
00:00:30
Speaker
Hey guys, what did I miss?
00:00:57
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.
00:01:07
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.
00:01:19
Speaker
Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
00:01:27
Speaker
Together, we remember them all.
00:01:41
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:46
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:01:53
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.
00:02:03
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:02:08
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:02:10
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs, the people who are doing life wrong, the speed bumps of life, the people that are in your way every day, the unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-boring, 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.
00:02:34
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:02:37
Speaker
I'm ready to go pro.
00:02:38
Speaker
Good, because this is where common sense and logic live and where pro nation comes to be reassured that it's not them, it's the rest in amateur nation.
00:02:48
Speaker
This is episode 228.
00:02:49
Speaker
This podcast has 81 million listeners.
00:02:54
Speaker
As always, fans first, shouts out to Debra Sailing-Geibel of Integrity Group Services of Louisville, Ohio, and Dr. Jason Flatworm, Edressa 975, Jennifer Easterling.
Social Media Interaction and Political Critiques
00:03:06
Speaker
fixer mark holloway 754 david reed 33 holder 7x west side ken 68 and laurie burgess all checking me out on instagram you can find me there at lou dot santini three here's your post of the week and listen to the content because it's found uh it was posted by gays against groomers it's short and sweet and it makes total sense
00:03:32
Speaker
Normal adults do not get angry that they can't talk to children about sex.
00:03:37
Speaker
Predators and perverts do.
00:03:40
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:03:42
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:03:48
Speaker
Well, it's official.
00:03:49
Speaker
Amateur Nation is run by mentally and physically ill people.
00:03:54
Speaker
Lest you think I'm digging deep to find audio clips of the inane cacophony that is spewed forth from the incessant griping, whining, crying, shrieking, sniveling, rambling from various leaders of the Democrat, I mean, Communist Party, that is, amateur nation.
00:04:11
Speaker
This past week has given me a plethora of content that proves that those in charge, those who somehow have been placed in positions of power, are unhinged.
00:04:25
Speaker
deranged, mentally and or physically ill, incompetent, uneducated, unprofessional, embarrassing, childish.
00:04:40
Speaker
No exaggeration here.
00:04:42
Speaker
Now, I know that not everyone can be a good public speaker.
00:04:45
Speaker
It's not easy for everyone.
00:04:47
Speaker
It came very natural to me.
00:04:50
Speaker
But if you're going to be in any kind of position of power or public service, especially you have to speak in public often, whether in front of crowds or on TV, here's an idea, politicians.
00:05:02
Speaker
Spend a few thousand of your bribes and kickback money and hire someone to help you talk gooder.
00:05:08
Speaker
Look at someone like Senator Josh Hawley.
00:05:11
Speaker
Forget that he has great pipes.
00:05:13
Speaker
Even if you don't agree with anything he says, he is a fantastic public speaker.
00:05:17
Speaker
And while many say President Trump isn't a great public speaker, what he lacks in oratory skills, he makes up for in enthusiasm, facts, and the ability to rally the troops.
00:05:29
Speaker
Conversely, listen to the examples I'm about to play for you and tell me that their speaking styles are not weak, feeble, disjointed, riddled with poor grammar, lacking structure, full of feelings rather than facts.
00:05:47
Speaker
Yeah, you'd think so.
00:05:51
Speaker
But these speakers that represent Amateur Nation are unable to control their feelings.
00:05:57
Speaker
They're all feelings.
00:05:59
Speaker
Vagaries, platitudes, stories, fables, cliches, just trailing off.
00:06:04
Speaker
I could devote a whole episode of the nothing salads that Joe Biden serves up on a weekly basis.
00:06:11
Speaker
Make that almost daily.
00:06:13
Speaker
Every other day, there's a clip online of some bumbling speech where Biden trails off, makes up words, sees a bird and loses his place, changes stories midstream, etc.,
00:06:25
Speaker
Between putting his foot in his mouth, starting one story and ending with another, giving examples that have nothing to do with the question or topic posed, inappropriateness, the idea that anyone in amateur nation does not call out the embarrassment that is this presidency, or worse, those in amateur nation that choose to ignore it.
Discussion on Politicians' Public Speaking
00:06:48
Speaker
It makes them all that more discredited, pathetic, sad, ignorant, and worst of all, it speaks to the level of intelligence of amateur nation.
00:07:00
Speaker
Because those speeches, those speakers that are dumbing down their messages to the lowest common denominators, that is their audience.
00:07:08
Speaker
The audience that has low expectations.
00:07:13
Speaker
The amateurs who literally would rather not know the truth.
00:07:18
Speaker
Those who revel in victim culture and love the poor me game.
00:07:26
Speaker
Every time President Coloring Book gives a speech or is caught on camera, don't you cringe wondering what stupidity, disjointed phrasing, and blathering nonsense he'll spew forth next?
00:07:39
Speaker
When the president talks, you shouldn't tense up before he speaks, followed by head shaking when he's done.
00:07:44
Speaker
He was a very old man in a torn jacket.
00:07:48
Speaker
He walked very slowly to the stand.
00:07:52
Speaker
He was dragging his left leg and trying to hide it because he was shamed.
00:07:58
Speaker
This is a frightened, insignificant old man who has been nothing all his life.
00:08:05
Speaker
Nobody quotes him.
00:08:07
Speaker
Nobody seeks his advice after 75 years.
00:08:11
Speaker
Let's dive in with John Lurch Fetterman, the senator from Pennsylvania.
00:08:16
Speaker
Yeah, I know he had a stroke.
00:08:17
Speaker
And yes, I know he suffered from depression.
00:08:19
Speaker
I'm not saying I wish anything like that on anybody or I'm happy about it.
00:08:24
Speaker
But maybe let's just keep him off the podium or out of public office until he's 100% healthy mentally and physically.
00:08:33
Speaker
Just because he's out now and he's out of the hospital and puts on a suit and took the bolts out of his neck doesn't mean he's fully recovered, qualified, and of his faculties.
00:08:42
Speaker
I see so many posts.
00:08:44
Speaker
He's an inspiration.
00:08:47
Speaker
I won't do that, give the guy a break.
00:08:48
Speaker
He had a stroke and he's trying to do his job.
00:08:51
Speaker
A senator should be of sound mind and body.
00:08:54
Speaker
It's too important of a job to let someone keep it just because they had it.
00:08:59
Speaker
Example, Dianne Feinstein.
00:09:02
Speaker
I haven't seen a face that old since I looked at my cash.
00:09:05
Speaker
So here's the much younger John Lurch Fetterman speaking about something.
00:09:11
Speaker
I think he's talking about the bailout of the federal banks.
00:09:16
Speaker
Play the Lurch clip.
00:09:18
Speaker
Yes, more stricter!
00:09:48
Speaker
Shouldn't you have a working requirement after we sell your bank with billions of your bank?
00:09:52
Speaker
Because they seem to be more preoccupied than SNAP requirements for works for hungry people, but not about protecting the tax papers.
00:10:04
Speaker
Totally different than the taxpayers.
00:10:06
Speaker
You know, that will bail no matter whatever...
00:10:25
Speaker
One of my favorite and easiest targets, of course, is Vice President Kamala Slingblade Harris.
00:10:31
Speaker
Now that President Coloring Book is President, Kamala Slingblade Harris is officially the poorest speaking and dumbest vice president of all time.
00:10:41
Speaker
And that includes Dan Quayle.
00:10:44
Speaker
Kamala Harris is a different kind of incompetent poor public speaker.
00:10:48
Speaker
And she's particularly annoying because A, she thinks she's a good speaker.
00:10:54
Speaker
B, she thinks she's interesting and has nuggets of gold that we must hear.
00:11:00
Speaker
And C, neither A nor B is true.
00:11:03
Speaker
She thinks because she gives long pregnant pauses, nods her head in agreement with herself, and says, right, often at the end of sentences, that she's engaging the audience.
00:11:16
Speaker
She's Yogi Berra without the humor and folksiness.
00:11:19
Speaker
Here's Kamala talking about freedom and opportunity.
00:11:23
Speaker
It is important to understand what freedom and opportunity means.
00:11:28
Speaker
Why is it important?
00:11:31
Speaker
Freedom is a powerful word.
00:11:32
Speaker
I'd say the word opportunity is an important word if a word could be important.
00:11:36
Speaker
So I ask, why is it important to understand what those words mean?
00:11:42
Speaker
Call me crazy, but if you want to learn about what they mean, you could look them up in a dictionary.
00:11:46
Speaker
Well, Lou, that's not what she means.
00:11:48
Speaker
I know, but she doesn't know what she means.
00:11:52
Speaker
That's just you saying a bunch of things.
00:11:54
Speaker
To real people every day.
00:11:57
Speaker
Oh, you mean people.
00:12:00
Speaker
Not just on weekends, you idiots.
00:12:02
Speaker
It's important that you understand what freedom and opportunity means every fucking day.
00:12:07
Speaker
Not the fake people, i.e.
00:12:09
Speaker
transgendered, but to the real people.
00:12:12
Speaker
Which calls into question...
00:12:14
Speaker
whether we're all on the same page about what freedom means.
00:12:21
Speaker
I see what you're getting at.
00:12:22
Speaker
You're saying I should know what freedom and opportunity means.
00:12:26
Speaker
And my definition of freedom and opportunity needs to be the same as other weak-minded, victim-mentalities, spastic, hyper-emotional, feelings-fixated people.
00:12:36
Speaker
I need to understand and have a dialogue and be open to their views.
00:12:41
Speaker
So, in other words, do nothing.
00:12:44
Speaker
Because I, like many in pro-nation who live their lives by common sense and logic and do unto others and just want to be left the hell alone, don't have time to coddle the weak.
00:12:56
Speaker
We don't dumb down for you.
00:12:58
Speaker
You step up to us.
00:13:01
Speaker
I saved the best and most irritating for last.
00:13:04
Speaker
Here is Nebraska State Senator Michaela Kavanaugh.
00:13:08
Speaker
shrieking like Rain Man in an airport terminal about trans people.
00:13:13
Speaker
If there are any trans people listening, is this who you want speaking on your behalf?
00:13:19
Speaker
And if your answer is yes, this is why you'll never be taken seriously.
00:13:26
Speaker
Now, keep in mind, she is an adult.
00:13:29
Speaker
When you say she, are you talking about a woman?
00:13:33
Speaker
Now I'm warning you.
00:13:35
Speaker
It's seriously annoying.
00:13:38
Speaker
Please be patient because we're going to break this down.
00:13:41
Speaker
It's very annoying, but you need to hear it in its entirety for full impact.
00:13:46
Speaker
This is a grown woman, publicly speaking, a senator.
00:13:53
Speaker
Go ahead, play it.
00:14:15
Speaker
We love trans people.
00:14:18
Speaker
Trans people belong here.
00:14:19
Speaker
We need trans people.
00:14:32
Speaker
We love trans people!
00:14:33
Speaker
Trans people belong here!
00:14:35
Speaker
We need trans people!
00:14:37
Speaker
We love trans people!
00:14:38
Speaker
Trans people belong here!
00:14:40
Speaker
We need trans people!
00:14:41
Speaker
We love trans people!
00:14:43
Speaker
So, what are you saying?
00:14:45
Speaker
I noticed you're running out of breath.
00:14:46
Speaker
Maybe get in shape and work on your cardio before having a temper tantrum in public, Michaela.
00:14:54
Speaker
matter and I am fighting for you both of you and I will not stop I will not stop today I will not stop tomorrow will you stop this weekend you are loved you matter you belong here
00:15:11
Speaker
Go fuck yourself, you fucking child.
00:15:13
Speaker
Take that Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech.
00:15:16
Speaker
Fun fact, if you say something 33 times in a row really loud, it becomes facts and people will agree.
00:15:23
Speaker
This is how I got women to go out with me.
00:15:25
Speaker
You're going to have dinner with me this Friday.
00:15:27
Speaker
You're going to have dinner with me this Friday.
00:15:28
Speaker
You're going to have dinner with me this Friday.
00:15:31
Speaker
How embarrassed is her family?
00:15:38
Speaker
The role of a senator is to represent the people in matters of public interest.
00:15:43
Speaker
I'm sure the handful of trans people and or their closest family and friends have a vested interest in what exactly?
00:15:50
Speaker
She said, wait, what did she say?
00:15:53
Speaker
Go ahead, play that clip again.
00:15:54
Speaker
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
00:15:56
Speaker
I wouldn't do that to you.
00:15:57
Speaker
But she said, trans people belong here.
00:15:59
Speaker
Okay, I'll buy that.
00:16:01
Speaker
No one said they don't.
00:16:02
Speaker
Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:16:06
Speaker
Just not at the expense of a fully functioning society.
00:16:10
Speaker
And that sure as hell doesn't mean trans people get special treatment.
00:16:15
Speaker
Then she said, we need trans people.
00:16:19
Speaker
I'm not calling for the extermination of trans people, duh.
00:16:22
Speaker
But what exactly do we need them for?
00:16:26
Speaker
Again, I'm not saying get rid of them.
00:16:27
Speaker
That's oversimplifying.
00:16:28
Speaker
I'm saying that you, Michaela Kavanaugh, said we need trans people.
00:16:33
Speaker
I'd like to ask her, what specifically do we need trans people for?
00:16:36
Speaker
I bet she has no answers or examples.
00:16:41
Speaker
And of course, she said, we love trans people.
00:16:45
Speaker
If you mean love as in brotherly love and love thy neighbor in the sense that, sure, we can all get along, just mind your own business and don't expect special treatment, I don't have a problem with that.
00:16:55
Speaker
But this is where this mental patient went off the rails.
00:16:58
Speaker
She has no facts supporting trans people getting denied medical care, home and car loans, job promotions, etc.,
00:17:04
Speaker
Hell, we have a trans man as the Secretary of Health.
00:17:08
Speaker
What better qualified person?
00:17:10
Speaker
The U.S. Navy has a drag queen as their digital ambassador.
00:17:13
Speaker
And yes, amateurs, I know a drag queen and a trans person are not the same, but you can't tell me they're not in the same neighborhood.
00:17:20
Speaker
And what about our favorite klepto, Sam Britton, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy from June to December of 2022?
00:17:32
Speaker
Before losing his job for stealing suitcases from airports three times!
00:17:39

Business Models and Social Commentary
00:17:48
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:17:53
Speaker
Did you know capitalism is the only way to make money?
00:17:57
Speaker
Well, besides exploiting slaves like they do in China, the Congo, and Middle East to mine for your precious Prius battery minerals.
00:18:05
Speaker
Here's a headline from the Daily Wire.
00:18:08
Speaker
Get woke, go broke.
00:18:09
Speaker
Anti-capitalist cafe that let customers pay what you can closes down after one year in business.
00:18:18
Speaker
Uh, that doesn't make any sense.
00:18:20
Speaker
Wait, the feelings of amateur nation didn't keep the doors open?
00:18:24
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:18:26
Speaker
The Anarchist, a coffee shop in Toronto, Canada, that functioned on a pay-what-you-can system, will close at the end of the month after slightly more than one year in business.
00:18:37
Speaker
Gabriel Sims Feuer, the owner of the anarchist, said in an expletive-filled announcement, Yeah, that's professional.
00:18:44
Speaker
Well, of course, they're anarchists.
00:18:47
Speaker
He said on the company's website that he appreciated the opportunity to experiment with living and working in ways that don't enthusiastically embrace the pure misanthropy of capitalism.
00:18:58
Speaker
He blamed the failure...
00:19:00
Speaker
of his anti-capitalist business venture for the lack of seed capital from ethically bankrupt sources, which left him unable to weather the quiet winter season or to grow in the ways needed to be sustainable longer term.
00:19:17
Speaker
He's mad that other capitalists didn't fund his science fair project.
00:19:23
Speaker
Also, there's a quiet season for coffee in the winter in Canada.
00:19:28
Speaker
Fucking amateur hour, man.
00:19:30
Speaker
Here comes some real professional business acumen.
00:19:35
Speaker
The owner of the coffee shop said this, The anarchist has been a huge success in every way I hoped and has given me so much inspiration and education that I plan to put to use in future projects.
00:19:49
Speaker
Fuck the colonial death camp we call Canada.
00:19:57
Speaker
A huge success in every way?
00:20:01
Speaker
You closed after a little over a year.
00:20:07
Speaker
Let me guess, let me guess.
00:20:08
Speaker
A bank that has a only take what you need policy.
00:20:14
Speaker
Also, don't you want the rich?
00:20:16
Speaker
They have the money to pay what they can.
00:20:21
Speaker
You only want money from the poor?
00:20:25
Speaker
Well, there's only one problem with that.
00:20:28
Speaker
What did the police have to do with your failed business?
00:20:31
Speaker
Bet you needed them when people just started taking things without paying anything.
00:20:36
Speaker
By the way, where are these colonial death camps in Canada?
00:20:39
Speaker
If it's so horrible, leave Canada.
00:20:41
Speaker
You know, like the Hollywood elite did when Trump got in office.
00:20:46
Speaker
The article says the entrepreneur had also apologized for the fact that he is a white cisgender man by noting that he is also queer and vowing to hire people outside of his particular intersection of privileges.
00:21:02
Speaker
Can you imagine working for this amateur?
00:21:06
Speaker
He calls you into his office, which is actually the janitor's supply closet.
00:21:10
Speaker
You think you're getting a raise.
00:21:12
Speaker
Well, first of all, you're doing a great job.
00:21:14
Speaker
We're almost breaking even.
00:21:16
Speaker
I know I'm not paying you anything right now, and you're donating your time, but we're behind the eight ball here, so can I borrow some capital to keep the doors open?
00:21:23
Speaker
I'm sorry for this damn white skin, by the way.
00:21:26
Speaker
I did everything I could not to be born a white male, but I was a fetus.
00:21:29
Speaker
But at least I'm queer.
00:21:34
Speaker
He goes on to say, the best thing I think I can do is hire people who aren't white, cisgender, heterosexual men, make them equal owners, and follow their lead in making the place less white male-centered than the industry standard.
00:21:49
Speaker
That's what I'm working towards.
00:21:51
Speaker
Hear that, non-white straight men?
00:21:54
Speaker
You can be part of a dying business venture with zero risk and zero reward.
00:21:59
Speaker
But think of the good you'll be doing while you drown in debt and poverty.
00:22:04
Speaker
There's a job posting.
00:22:06
Speaker
Non-white, non-straight men needed to make coffee, serve customers and clean up.
00:22:11
Speaker
No pay, no benefits.
00:22:13
Speaker
All the free coffee you can drink.
00:22:15
Speaker
Be part of a non-capitalist startup and you're instantly part owner of the equivalent of a lemonade stand except with less profit.
00:22:22
Speaker
Musho proof of gayness.
00:22:26
Speaker
I'd love to tell you all my social medias have the same handle, but thanks to Kami's censorship over the years and having posts and accounts canceled, removed, and restarted, they're similar, but not the same.
00:22:36
Speaker
For example, every Thursday is Sneak Peek Thursday on my YouTube page, Facebook, and Instagram pages as well, where you get a 60-second preview of what's coming up on the next episode.
00:22:46

Okay, so here we go.

Hi pros, Lou Santini here, host of Amateur Nation.
00:23:40
Speaker
My Dry Bar Comedy Special, Amateur Nation, is now available.
00:23:44
Speaker
And just like this show, if you're allergic to a lack of common sense in today's world, and you like your comedy delivered with uncompromising talent like it is bite, then check out my half hour comedy special, Amateur Nation.
00:23:57
Speaker
Go to drybarcomedy.com slash Lou S. This is my way of saying thank you to the pros who listen to this show every week.
00:24:04
Speaker
driveourcomedy.com slash Lou S. Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:24:15
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:24:19
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:24:24
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Racism.
00:24:31
Speaker
If only you whiteys did the thing where you should.
00:24:35
Speaker
I mean, no, if you stop.
00:24:37
Speaker
Wait, what are we doing?
00:24:38
Speaker
Okay, well, I found this video slash audio clip on at Media Research Center on Instagram from what looks like to be their local cable show on MRCTV.
00:24:50
Speaker
And it's entitled, Woke Sociology Professor Insinuates that All White People Are Psychopaths Who Aren't Fully Human.
Cultural Critiques and Representation
00:25:01
Speaker
Yeah, it's tough being a white man these days.
00:25:04
Speaker
Yeah, well, that, of course, got my attention, so I had to hear more.
00:25:07
Speaker
Now, the good news is this woman explains how we crack us can fix ourselves.
00:25:11
Speaker
The bad news is she doesn't explain how we crack us got to be such assholes in the first place or what specifically we can do or should be doing.
00:25:19
Speaker
It's just more word salad, cliches, catchphrases, and buzzwords to a racism-free tomorrow.
00:25:25
Speaker
It's all on you, whitey.
00:25:26
Speaker
You caused all the racism.
00:25:29
Speaker
No other races are racist.
00:25:30
Speaker
So you all fix the racism.
00:25:34
Speaker
Here comes the how not to be racist no more guidelines.
00:25:38
Speaker
Whiteness damages our humanity.
00:25:44
Speaker
Back up with facts.
00:25:46
Speaker
It diminishes our capacity to have empathy.
00:25:49
Speaker
Expand, explain, back up with facts, examples.
00:25:54
Speaker
Think about how we describe psychopaths.
00:25:56
Speaker
Okay, time out, sitting jackass.
00:25:59
Speaker
What's the definition of a psychopath?
00:26:00
Speaker
You're saying the entire white race.
00:26:02
Speaker
Well, I agree with you.
00:26:05
Speaker
Yes, you are correct.
00:26:07
Speaker
But the reason why you know that is that you had a relationship.
00:26:10
Speaker
We need white people to heal ourselves.
00:26:13
Speaker
Expand, explain, back up with facts, examples.
00:26:17
Speaker
From this damage to our humanity that patriarchy, that white supremacy has inflicted on us and become fully human again.
00:26:27
Speaker
Okay, define fully human.
00:26:30
Speaker
So that's your definition.
00:26:31
Speaker
That's the accepted way a human should be and be defined by what you want.
00:26:39
Speaker
All right, so to bullet point.
00:26:41
Speaker
White people suck.
00:26:43
Speaker
We don't know why.
00:26:43
Speaker
Probably something related to being white and having the supremacy.
00:26:47
Speaker
But we don't know why we all suck.
00:26:50
Speaker
White people have no empathy and are psychos.
00:26:54
Speaker
Also, you gotta heal yourselves, white folk.
00:26:56
Speaker
We don't have the specific ways how, and you may think you never needed healing from racism in the first place, but you do, because you're white.
00:27:03
Speaker
And as soon as you get all healed up, then you'll be a full human, not this half-man, oppressive, hate-filled, cold villain.
00:27:11
Speaker
God, I can't even look at you.
00:27:13
Speaker
See, it's easy for this professor.
00:27:16
Speaker
By the way, I'm smarter than her.
00:27:18
Speaker
I never met her, and I know that I'm smarter than this professor.
00:27:21
Speaker
You listening to this podcast right now, you're smarter than her.
00:27:26
Speaker
The man or woman listening to this show right now, I've never met you, and I know you're smarter than her, even if you never finished college, let alone became a sociology professor.
00:27:35
Speaker
All right, so stay with the show because one of the three pro things later on totally and coincidentally has a complete polar opposite response to that sociology professor stupidity, and it comes from a black man.
00:27:50
Speaker
Anyway, I was saying, it's easy for this white female professor to spout off in this way.
00:27:57
Speaker
Because what she's asking for, an entire world population of white people to have some kind of epiphany of their suckosity and repent thereafter,
00:28:06
Speaker
will never happen.
00:28:07
Speaker
It's a conclusion or resolution that they know will never happen because they know that, A, white supremacy doesn't exist, nor does racism to the extent they say it does, certainly not systemic, and B, because of A, this professor gets lifelong attention and income off the minds of amateurs who nod in agreement.
00:28:29
Speaker
Because they, the amateurs, like this professor, are racist!
00:28:34
Speaker
These pandering lectures and finger pointing gives them absolution.
00:28:46
Speaker
The new and improved, rarely watched ratings killing star of the new and not improved The Little Mermaid.
00:28:52
Speaker
Now with a black mermaid.
00:28:54
Speaker
You know, for realism.
00:28:55
Speaker
Did you know Halle Bailey's life has been crap all this time?
00:29:00
Speaker
Well, she says so.
00:29:01
Speaker
In a paragraph that is absolutely laughable from hard-hitting Yahoo Life.
00:29:07
Speaker
The singer and actress, 23 years old, is starring as Mermaid Ariel in the upcoming live-action remake of Disney's 1989 The Little Mermaid animation and said if the cartoon had been more diverse, it would have increased her confidence.
00:29:25
Speaker
So, the 23-year-old who is starring in a movie, starring in a movie, a Disney movie, Ka-ching, is saying...
00:29:36
Speaker
That if a cartoon that happened to be the same thing that she is now cast in, had it been more diverse, what she really means is all black cast, then this shit show that is her life wouldn't have happened.
00:29:49
Speaker
Because as she put it, I feel like if I would have had a black mermaid, that would have been insane.
00:29:55
Speaker
That would have changed my whole perspective, my whole life, my confidence, my self-worth.
00:30:00
Speaker
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:30:04
Speaker
Rarely do amateurs talk about their feelings, especially when they mention them as if they were facts.
00:30:09
Speaker
Don't worry, I have more reasons to not like Halle Bailey.
00:30:14
Speaker
The article reads, Halle was targeted with race hate when her role as Ariel was announced, with the hashtag, NotMyAriel, trending on Twitter after her role was announced.
00:30:25
Speaker
She said about it being impossible to avoid feeling hurt by the backlash, and
00:30:29
Speaker
Yeah, we're all human beings, so if we see anything negative about ourselves, of course it's going to hurt or sting a little bit, especially remarks like those.
00:30:37
Speaker
I expected it, honestly.
00:30:39
Speaker
I mean, yeah, the world we live in today, just being a black woman, you have a certain awareness that comes with life in general.
00:30:47
Speaker
You hear that, black women?
00:30:49
Speaker
Keep your head on a swivel.
00:30:51
Speaker
Some shit could go down at any time.
00:30:54
Speaker
So I wasn't very surprised or shocked or free thinking or raised right.
00:30:59
Speaker
But I'm sure taking that fat check to sell your soul to pander to impressionable young women made it all better.
00:31:05
Speaker
You're rich and you're doing a good thing.
00:31:08
Speaker
You're new role model, black girls.
00:31:11
Speaker
As always, Pro Nation says it best.
00:31:14
Speaker
John Emmerling, I can't relate to characters if they don't look like me.
00:31:21
Speaker
So you mean if the character is black, it's worth learning from, but if it's white, you ignore it.
00:31:25
Speaker
Show us how prejudiced you are.
00:31:27
Speaker
The skin color of the characters, especially in cartoons, has nothing to do with the lessons being taught unless it's reinforcing your racism.
00:31:37
Speaker
Sasa Vukovic said, That would have changed my whole perspective, my whole life.
00:31:44
Speaker
She would start living in the sea or something?
00:31:49
Speaker
I remember as a small Mexican kid looking up and seeing Superman and saying, man, if only he was Mexican, I could imagine myself being an alien from another world and having laser vision, freeze breath, invulnerability, etc.
00:32:04
Speaker
I don't see any short, bald dudes as leading men.
00:32:07
Speaker
I'm triggered and am now a victim.
00:32:09
Speaker
I want to boycott every movie studio until I'm represented.
00:32:12
Speaker
You are all harassed and heightest.
00:32:14
Speaker
I'm going to need some reparations, too.
00:32:19
Speaker
And Mike Segulski.
00:32:21
Speaker
Yeah, maybe she wouldn't have become a millionaire actress loved by millions instead of the misery she lives through now.
00:32:28
Speaker
And finally, if you get up early, you're racist!
00:32:32
Speaker
Why waste time writing a clever joke to introduce the final example of racial stupidity when the stupidity writes itself?
00:32:40
Speaker
Headline from medium.com.
00:32:43
Speaker
Why Waking Up Early is Rooted in White Supremacy.
00:32:48
Speaker
It's so dumb, it's brilliant.
00:32:54
Speaker
The article says, The idea that waking up early leads to success and a disciplined life can be traced back to various historical and religious contexts.
00:33:04
Speaker
In the Western world, this belief has been strongly influenced by Protestantism and the Puritan work ethic, which emphasized hard work, diligence, and self-discipline as virtues.
00:33:18
Speaker
The work ethic has long been considered an essential component of the American dream and the idea that success can be achieved through dedication and effort.
00:33:30
Speaker
I won't insult your intelligence by reading the whole article, but again, you can find it on medium.com.
00:33:35
Speaker
But listen to the article's sub-headlines throughout the article.
00:33:40
Speaker
The intersection of early rising and white supremacy.
00:33:44
Speaker
The impact of the early rising narrative on racial inequality.
00:33:48
Speaker
Challenging the early rising ideology and its racial implications.
00:33:53
Speaker
So I guess the way to challenge early rising is to throw away your alarm clock and sleep in.
00:34:00
Speaker
Another title, embracing a more inclusive and equitable approach to productivity.
Community Insights and Advocacy
00:34:04
Speaker
All right, by the way,
00:34:07
Speaker
If you want to do some digging, this article was written by an amateur named Anthony Bernardi.
00:34:16
Speaker
I'm sure he has a social media page.
00:34:19
Speaker
Drop him a line and remind him of his amateur status.
00:34:21
Speaker
Tell him Lou Santini sent you.
00:34:23
Speaker
And now some jokes.
00:34:25
Speaker
Making fun of this article.
00:34:27
Speaker
Boss, I can't be here on time.
00:34:29
Speaker
I'm fighting racism.
00:34:31
Speaker
There's a CPT joke in here somewhere.
00:35:05
Speaker
Okay, let's lighten things up a little bit and eat lighter too off the a la carte menu.
00:35:11
Speaker
The pronoun game where no one is a winner ever.
00:35:15
Speaker
Listen to this they whining because someone got their pronouns right.
00:35:20
Speaker
This person just came into the bar and said, hey, what are your pronouns?
00:35:23
Speaker
You kind of look like a they them.
00:35:29
Speaker
And I hated that they were right.
00:35:31
Speaker
Quit acting like a little bitch.
00:35:33
Speaker
Did you know June 9th is National 69 Day?
00:35:37
Speaker
By the way, if one person in your couple is European, since they notate dates differently, you can celebrate it on September 6th, too.
00:35:48
Speaker
Did you know when a woman picks out a bathing suit, you know, the one article of clothing that makes it hardest to hide imperfections and is the most vulnerable and has the added benefit of being seen in public, what women want most is something that accentuates their crotch bulge.
00:36:03
Speaker
Adidas using male model to sell new women's swimsuit.
00:36:08
Speaker
Well, I'm done with Adidas now.
00:36:11
Speaker
Do a shot every time an amateur starts a sentence with, I feel you'll be drunk before lunch.
00:36:19
Speaker
Don't forget to do what the bumper stickers say and end racism.
00:36:24
Speaker
Quick joke for you, what's the worst thing about dating a man who drives an electric car?
00:36:29
Speaker
Getting him pregnant.
00:36:32
Speaker
Time now for three pro things, three things that are done right.
00:36:39
Speaker
Okay, this is the one I told you to listen for earlier in the show.
00:36:42
Speaker
Listen to civil rights activist Bob Woodson on the Dr. Phil Show as he drops the hammer with truth in the form of facts and firsthand experience.
00:36:51
Speaker
He's got both facts and firsthand experience about slavery.
00:36:56
Speaker
how black people's lifestyles and lives are different now compared to 100 years ago, and the differences between black families then and now.
00:37:05
Speaker
Oh, and he actually mentions a solution that makes sense, that is doable and specific.
00:37:12
Speaker
In dissected, you will find there were about 3,700 free blacks who owned 12,000 slaves.
00:37:17
Speaker
The question is...
00:37:23
Speaker
the descendants of those free blacks who own black slave do they pay blacks really uh benefited more the first hundred years after slavery we have in the last 50 years i was born in 1937 during the depression everyone in my small low-income black community
00:37:43
Speaker
98% of the households had a man and a woman raising children.
00:37:47
Speaker
Elderly people could walk safely in that community without fear of being assaulted by their grandchildren.
00:37:54
Speaker
Never heard a gunfire during that time.
00:37:56
Speaker
Never heard of a child being shot to death in the crib.
00:38:38
Speaker
Man, what a day of racing at the historic Route 66 Nationals and the NHRA recently.
00:38:45
Speaker
It's always a great day of racing when there are upsets, records, and milestones.
00:38:49
Speaker
The story track had not been open for four years and had one of my favorites, Clay Milliken, winning in top fuel.
00:38:56
Speaker
But here's the best part.
00:38:57
Speaker
Clay Milliken's most recent victory had been five years prior, and it happened at Route 66 Raceway precisely 20 years after his very first race, which happened to be at the Chicago facility at Route 66.
00:39:13
Speaker
Another one of my favorites, Tim Wilkerson, snatched victory from favorite and current World Funny Card champion Ron Capps.
00:39:19
Speaker
Dallas Glenn has shown he's the man to beat thus far in Pro Stock winning three out of six events this season.
00:39:26
Speaker
And he did it with a hole shot, as was the theme of the day.
00:39:30
Speaker
And did I call it or what?
00:39:31
Speaker
Pro Stock Motorcycle in the NHRA is literally dominated by what would have to be the NHRA Rookie of the Year unless something major changes.
00:39:40
Speaker
Gage Herrera, who I talked about on 3 Pro Things a few episodes back, who simply has not lost a race all season.
00:39:49
Speaker
He qualified number one.
00:39:52
Speaker
He set the track record.
00:39:54
Speaker
And he's the first to win the first three races of the season in Pro Stock Motorcycles since Hector Arano Jr. did it in 2013.
00:40:01
Speaker
Will he win his next event, his fourth?
00:40:04
Speaker
This season kicks ass.
00:40:06
Speaker
Do yourself a favor.
00:40:07
Speaker
Don't just watch an NHRA race on Fox or FS1 as good as they are.
00:40:14
Speaker
No one, and I do mean no one,
00:40:17
Speaker
goes to an NHRA event and doesn't come out a fan.
00:40:22
Speaker
It's family friendly.
00:40:23
Speaker
It's reasonably affordable.
00:40:26
Speaker
There's no woke crap.
00:40:27
Speaker
The noise, the color, the speed, the variety, the adrenaline.
00:40:32
Speaker
You're watching modern day superheroes.
00:40:34
Speaker
I guarantee you will have fun.
00:40:37
Speaker
I've taken 11 people to their first events and all of them loved it.
