“Pedos and Commies and Chubs! Oh, My!”
71 Plays2 years ago
*THIS WEEK:*
- “Blending in with the high schoolers”—the new Pedophile MO!
- “The Naked Communist”—a few of the goals they’ve been putting in place to destroy the United States of America.
- Get your tickets for “Philly Fat Con”! Because someone dropped the ball and didn’t market it as, “Philly Phat Phest!”; complete with lots of fat jokes that would be OK if I were a fat comedian, but since I’m not, oppression, victimhood, hate…you know the drill, amateurs.
*On “A la Carte”:* You think you have it rough as a LGBTQIA+&!@ person in America, have a go at it in China, a holiday you may have missed, and still waiting for footage of deliveries with those “male pregnancies”.
*On “3 Pro Things”:* You’re running out of ways to cry, “racism”, woke amateurs, and by the way, amateurs, the climate is actually getting better, and the “sweet spot” of childhood.

Changes in Human Behavior and Social Media Impact
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.

Warning, the podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:48
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots, 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.
00:02:06
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:02:07
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:02:10
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.

Speaker
I'm ready to go pro.
00:02:14
Speaker
Well, then don't touch that dial.
00:02:15
Speaker
This is the podcast where we call attention to and call out the amateurs, the people who are doing life wrong, the speed bumps of life, the people that are in your way every day, 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.

Speaker
Rappers talk all the time about what'll happen if you come into their hood.
00:03:17
Speaker
What's wrong with Jason Aldean and country music doing the same thing?
00:03:21
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:03:23
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:03:25
Speaker
Step one.
00:03:26
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:03:27
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:03:30
Speaker
From Yahoo.com.
00:03:32
Speaker
A 26-year-old man charged with sex trafficking is among several adults recently busted for enrolling as students in high school.
00:03:42
Speaker
Can someone kindly tell me what the fuck is going on?
00:03:45
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:03:47
Speaker
A 26-year-old Nebraska man is facing sex trafficking charges after impersonating a 17-year-old high school student and attended classes.
00:03:58
Speaker
The Lincoln Police Department said that Zachary Skeich attended 54 days of class at two local high schools.
00:04:04
Speaker
Being just 5'4 and 120 pounds, Skeich appears to have blended in with other students.
00:04:10
Speaker
Police said the school district had been alerted about an individual enrolled under the name Zach Hess, and authorities later determined that he had actually graduated from that same school district in 2015.
00:04:21
Speaker
The police investigation also found that Skitch had been interacting with multiple students, and those interactions generated information sufficient for an arrest warrant.
00:04:32
Speaker
The statement said police did not release any further details on the nature of Skitch's interactions with students.
00:04:38
Speaker
Jail records show Skeich has been charged with sex trafficking of a minor, as well as two counts of child enticement with an electronic communications device.
00:04:48
Speaker
He is being held in jail on a $250,000 bond.
00:04:51
Speaker
Court records did not name an attorney for Skeich.
00:04:54
Speaker
By the way, this is not an isolated case.
00:04:57
Speaker
The article mentioned that just last month, a 28-year-old Louisiana woman was arrested and accused of attending a local high school for the 2022-2023 school year using a fake passport and birth certificate.
00:05:10
Speaker
What is this shit?
00:05:12
Speaker
In March 2023, a 29-year-old woman similarly deceived school administrators with a fake birth certificate so she could enroll in a New Jersey high school.
00:05:20
Speaker
You sick fucks!
00:05:22
Speaker
A.
00:05:23
Speaker
So is President Coloring Book ever going to acknowledge and address the nationwide mental health crisis we have?
00:05:29
Speaker
Of course not.
00:05:30
Speaker
He should be supervised around the clock himself.
00:05:32
Speaker
Oh, I love baskets.
00:05:35
Speaker
Baskets, baskets, baskets.
00:05:37
Speaker
B, so you're still telling me sound of freedom is paranoia.
00:05:42
Speaker
Still going with that, amateur nation?
Ideological Shifts and Media Influence
00:05:44
Speaker
And now this.
00:05:45
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:05:47
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:05:50
Speaker
Often on this show, and as recently as two or three episodes ago, I spoke of how communism slash woke culture panders, victimizes, exploits, educates, and programs Americans 35-ish and younger, i.e.
00:06:04
Speaker
millennials, so that this long-term plan of a communist takeover is executed by the time those 35-year-olds are, regrettably, parents themselves, and thus their children know of no other America.
00:06:18
Speaker
I saw this post recently.
00:06:19
Speaker
It listed some of the 45 goals to destroy the United States of America by Cleon Skousen.
00:06:27
Speaker
Now, here are just a few from the 45 goals designed to destroy the United States of America.
00:06:35
Speaker
Number 17.
00:06:37
Speaker
Get control of the schools.
00:06:39
Speaker
Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current communist propaganda.
00:06:44
Speaker
Number 20.
00:06:46
Speaker
Infiltrate the press.
00:06:48
Speaker
Number 21, gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
00:06:54
Speaker
Number 26, present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as normal, natural, and healthy.
00:07:03
Speaker
Number 29, discredit the American Constitution.
00:07:08
Speaker
Number 30, discredit the American founding fathers.
00:07:11
Speaker
Number 31, discourage the teaching of American history.
00:07:16
Speaker
Number 40, discredit the family as an institution.
00:07:21
Speaker
Number 41, emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents.
00:07:27
Speaker
Attribute prejudices, mental blocks, and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
00:07:36
Speaker
And now from that post.
00:07:39
Speaker
Three quotes.
00:07:42
Speaker
This first one, you may have heard many times.
00:07:45
Speaker
It takes a village to raise a child.
00:07:48
Speaker
Hillary Clinton.
00:07:50
Speaker
There is no such thing as someone else's child.
00:07:53
Speaker
Our nation's children are all our children.
00:07:57
Speaker
Joe Biden.
00:08:00
Speaker
Give me just one generation of youth and I'll transform the whole world.
00:08:05
Speaker
Vladimir Lenin.
00:08:09
Speaker
Here's the best part.
00:08:10
Speaker
Those 45 goals designed to take over the United States was written in 1958.
00:08:18
Speaker
That's patients of a new magnitude.
00:08:22
Speaker
65 years later, and they're closing in on the grand finale every day.
00:08:27
Speaker
For you to understand any of this, first you have to understand evil.
00:08:31
Speaker
Not movie evil.
00:08:33
Speaker
Actually, yes, movie evil.
00:08:35
Speaker
But now, take out the special effects, the cape, the dark, sinister-looking actor playing the evil guy who wants to rule the world.
00:08:42
Speaker
Take away whatever dialect you have him speaking.
00:08:45
Speaker
And now just picture this evil guy in a sweater.
00:08:49
Speaker
A suit.
00:08:50
Speaker
Wearing glasses.
00:08:52
Speaker
Fat.
00:08:54
Speaker
Ugly.
00:08:54
Speaker
But certainly not villainous.
00:08:56
Speaker
Insert George Soros, Bill Gates, Barack Okami, the Biden crime family, Dr. Keebler L. Fauci.
00:09:04
Speaker
If the bad guys look like they do in the movies and did what they always try to do, bomb America, terrorize an American ally city, blow up a plane, assassinate a political rival, etc., it would be so obvious and they'd be arrested.
00:09:16
Speaker
Evil people look and act just like you and me.
00:09:20
Speaker
My mother could kick Bill Gates' ass.
00:09:23
Speaker
He's no martial artist master villain.
00:09:25
Speaker
George Soros has never lifted anything heavier than the pen he signs checks to pay for district attorneys, judges, heads of state, and titans of industry.
00:09:33
Speaker
They both smile
Evil in Society and Media Portrayals
00:09:34
Speaker
a lot.
00:09:34
Speaker
And not a villainous smile, just a regular smile.
00:09:37
Speaker
How could they be evil?
00:09:39
Speaker
Ever notice the villains in the movies are always arms dealers and drug dealers?
00:09:44
Speaker
Rarely are they human traffickers.
00:09:47
Speaker
Like I mentioned last week, the movie Taken seems to be okay because it's branded as an action movie.
00:09:53
Speaker
It's fake.
00:09:53
Speaker
But Sound of Freedom, a true account, is being mocked in mainstream media as paranoia.
00:10:00
Speaker
I thought about the movie The Transporter, where Jason Statham stops human traffickers, but it's literally one semi-truckload.
00:10:07
Speaker
Not that that's okay, but it was implied that this was a one-time shot.
00:10:11
Speaker
No mention of this happening daily all over the world, that America is one of the biggest traffickers and viewers of child porn, or a mention that the bad guy had been doing this for years and his operation made $40 billion, or most importantly, to whom is he selling these women?
00:10:27
Speaker
Now, I realize in the movie The Transporter that that genre of movie isn't designed to get that in-depth.
00:10:33
Speaker
It's an action movie, not a dramatic film.
00:10:36
Speaker
But you'd think they'd touch upon it if for no other reason to make the viewer hate the bad guy more.
00:10:42
Speaker
Selling people.
00:10:45
Speaker
But villains in movies now just have some device that will block the sun.
00:10:50
Speaker
See, last week's episode, blow up the earth, cause floods, or have a drug that will get the world addicted so they make money.
00:10:57
Speaker
COVID!
00:10:58
Speaker
A way to poison the water or the air, but they're never human traffickers where we see a Pablo Escobar-like factory of women and children being treated like slaves.
00:11:07
Speaker
Because that would be too obvious.
00:11:09
Speaker
The New World Order doesn't mind you hating arms dealers or drug dealers or terrorists, even though they're funding those very things.
00:11:16
Speaker
Yeah, whatever, they're not.
00:11:17
Speaker
Wake up, amateurs.
Imagining America's Future and Loss of Global Role
00:11:19
Speaker
But they can't have you hating human-slash-child traffickers because that bleeds into reality, and thus you would have pushback and censorship from companies and media outlets and social media.
00:11:31
Speaker
You're telling me Target and Sephora and Bud Light and all these other woke companies can support trans rights and Pride Month and Juneteenth, one of which is less than 1% of the population, one is a month to justify placating and brainwashing said 1%, and the other is a newly made-up holiday.
00:11:49
Speaker
Target and Bud Light and all those other woke companies can pander to things that affect a segment of America.
00:11:56
Speaker
But America getting behind protecting its children when we have proof of the trafficking, when the DOJ doesn't deem child and human traffic an area of concern.
00:12:08
Speaker
See last week's episode.
00:12:09
Speaker
Not one company steps up to the plate to say, we stand against human trafficking and $1 out of 10 that we make funds organizations that help rescue children from slavery.
00:12:20
Speaker
None are doing that?
00:12:29
Speaker
Close your eyes.
00:12:31
Speaker
And not if you're driving.
00:12:33
Speaker
Picture a map of the world.
00:12:36
Speaker
Picture all the countries and the continents.
00:12:39
Speaker
Now, to the best of your ability, picture the countries you are pretty sure are currently communist and shade them in as red.
00:12:51
Speaker
Now picture America shaded in red.
00:12:55
Speaker
Now we're literally just like all the other countries we fight and have fought with, have fought wars and won against, countries we make fun of and avoid.
00:13:05
Speaker
We're like them now.
00:13:07
Speaker
when you shade America in as red.
00:13:10
Speaker
Now picture America in with that group.
00:13:13
Speaker
And we are now that human rights-violating, controlling the movement of its subjects, earth-destroying, wealth-dividing, crime-ridden, filthy, racist, unarmed, child-trafficking country that has all those qualities and, worse, is one of the biggest countries in the world.
00:13:30
Speaker
Picture that missing piece of the puzzle that is communism.
00:13:34
Speaker
Picture how quickly other now-socialist countries will fall to communism.
00:13:40
Speaker
Pretty much since America was born, America has always been three things.
00:13:46
Speaker
The country people wanted to migrate to.
00:13:48
Speaker
The most free country in the world.
00:13:51
Speaker
And the world's babysitter slash parent.
00:13:55
Speaker
The country that helps the other fucked up countries.
00:13:57
Speaker
The most.
00:13:58
Speaker
And flexes on the often ill-behaving country that stirs up the most shit keeping them in check.
00:14:04
Speaker
Country in the world.
00:14:07
Speaker
And now picture that.
00:14:09
Speaker
All those qualities.
00:14:11
Speaker
Gone.
00:14:11
Speaker
No longer existing.
00:14:14
Speaker
No one wants to come here anymore.
00:14:16
Speaker
We don't help out other countries anymore because we're with all those other loser countries.
00:14:23
Speaker
All those other countries that are struggling and fighting and dealing with poverty and crime and racism, terrorism.
00:14:33
Speaker
We're just like them now.
00:14:34
Speaker
We are not special.
00:14:36
Speaker
Picture that.
00:14:41
Speaker
That could no longer exist.
00:14:43
Speaker
There would be no free country on the planet anymore.
00:14:48
Speaker
You're telling me that all hell wouldn't break loose and quickly?

00:16:37
Speaker
Back to you, fuckers.
00:16:39
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:16:41
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:16:42
Speaker
Hit me!
00:16:47
Speaker
This just in, MSNBC claims working out and being fit is far right.
00:16:54
Speaker
Yeah?
00:16:55
Speaker
That explains seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger's full-blast commie sentiment of screw your freedom during the plandemic shutdowns.
00:17:03
Speaker
So I guess I'm to assume morbidly obese, body-positive people are communists?
00:17:08
Speaker
That means my gym is full of pros, thank God.
00:17:11
Speaker
Well, bring on the oppression, victimhood, and any other isms that have amateur nations sucking on their woo-woos in their safe spaces.
00:17:18
Speaker
From the Philadelphia Inquirer, this headline...
00:17:22
Speaker
Philly's first of its kind fat-focused convention to be held at Temple University.
00:17:27
Speaker
Guess what to see my dick?
00:17:28
Speaker
No, but I bet you'd like to be able to.
00:17:30
Speaker
Male testes confirmed.
00:17:32
Speaker
Sidebar.
00:17:33
Speaker
Before I continue, and while I never do disclaimers from my comedy jokes and quips and drops made on this show, let me be clear.
00:17:40
Speaker
It would be ludicrous for a listener of this episode or topic to think that by me doing a topic on it and making comments and a lot of jokes about it, that it means I think fat people are inferior, helpless, less intelligent, or morally bad or inferior, and that I hate them.
00:17:55
Speaker
That's not what this is about.
00:17:56
Speaker
Knee-jerk amateurs who might be listening, listen carefully.
00:18:00
Speaker
This topic is about amateur nation embracing its flaws, whatever they may be, however avoidable they may be.
00:18:06
Speaker
And instead of correcting the flaw, not only being okay with it, which in many cases is indeed healthy, but uniting others in what is clearly misery and trying to convince themselves that they're, of course, wait for it, special.
00:18:22
Speaker
and probably need a day or a week or a month to celebrate it with a parade.
00:18:26
Speaker
World's shortest and slowest parade.
00:18:28
Speaker
What's funny about that?
00:18:30
Speaker
Because of the walking and they're fat and it's a lot of exercise.
00:18:34
Speaker
But they can ride the floats.
00:18:35
Speaker
Hey, what?
00:18:36
Speaker
They can be the floats.
00:18:38
Speaker
I can hear the chants now.
00:18:39
Speaker
We're here.
00:18:41
Speaker
Well, we're almost there.
00:18:43
Speaker
We're... Whoever wrote this episode should die!
00:18:51
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:18:52
Speaker
Fat Con wants people to connect with other people that look like you, think like you, feel like you, and understand you, said one of the founders, ever proving that there's money to be made in fear-mongering, and in this case, weakness, victimhood, and oppression.
00:19:07
Speaker
More from the article.
00:19:08
Speaker
Donnell Jagerman, Adrienne Gray, and Kenyatta Harris.
00:19:12
Speaker
Is she a great big fat person?
00:19:14
Speaker
Actually, they all are.
00:19:15
Speaker
Want you to know there are a ton...
00:19:18
Speaker
of fat people in Philly who are perfectly fine with who they are.
00:19:22
Speaker
By the way, this is in the Philly Inquirer, a major newspaper, and they actually wrote, there are a ton of fat people.
00:19:28
Speaker
That is grammatically incorrect.
00:19:29
Speaker
And yes, I'm nitpicking.
00:19:30
Speaker
I expect more from a major newspaper.
00:19:32
Speaker
It's supposed to be there is a ton of fat people.
00:19:35
Speaker
And that, hey, I'm going to make a lot of jokes on this topic, heads up.
00:19:39
Speaker
And that sure seemed like a little, they could have said there is a large obese population in Philly, or there's a lot of fat people, but they went with a ton.
00:19:49
Speaker
Okay, the article continues.
00:19:50
Speaker
The three women behind Philly's first-of-its-kind fat-focused convention are bringing more than buzzwords like body positivity and body neutrality to Temple University in October.
00:20:00
Speaker
They want everyone to celebrate being unapologetically themselves.
00:20:08
Speaker
When did any fat people or any people who are maligned or different in some way have to apologize?
00:20:14
Speaker
Huh?
00:20:15
Speaker
And for what?
00:20:16
Speaker
Sorry, I'm fat.
00:20:18
Speaker
Which I would like to hear just once from the guy overlapping me on a plane.
00:20:22
Speaker
But I digress.
00:20:23
Speaker
The article says, we're not into the buzzwords because we've seen how it affects and impacts people.
00:20:28
Speaker
It makes people feel either included or excluded, said Ray, using buzzwords, who runs an online plus-size shop called Curve Conscious.
00:20:40
Speaker
So her customers that shop at her shop online are conscious of their curbs.
00:20:45
Speaker
Hey Janice, I didn't want to say anything, but did you know you're about 200 pounds overweight?
00:20:49
Speaker
I'm conscious of it, thank you.
00:20:51
Speaker
Her customers are well aware that they're fat.
00:20:53
Speaker
By the way, these three women who started FatFest, sorry, FatCon, you're telling me that FatFest isn't a catchier name?
00:21:01
Speaker
Marketing fail.
00:21:02
Speaker
These three women who started FatCon aren't chubby or could lose a few.
00:21:06
Speaker
These are morbidly obese, unhealthy looking women.
00:21:09
Speaker
But like in all of Amateur Nation, if there is a lot of you sharing the same unhealthy physical, mental, emotional, or sexual issue, it's not okay simply because of the numbers.
00:21:18
Speaker
Don't fix the problem.
00:21:19
Speaker
Hang out with more who have the same problem.
00:21:22
Speaker
Go out of your way to attend a convention of problem.
00:21:27
Speaker
The article continues.
00:21:28
Speaker
That phrase, body positivity...
00:21:32
Speaker
Has become bogged down with relating to body image, she said.
00:21:35
Speaker
What people in larger bodies need.
00:21:39
Speaker
Translation, they're really big and fat.
00:21:41
Speaker
And by the way, here come more buzzwords that she isn't using.
00:21:44
Speaker
Is to step away from constantly talking about body image.
00:21:48
Speaker
Because that can be very triggering.
00:21:50
Speaker
For folks who have disabilities, chronic illness, have been dieting on and off all their lives and developed eating disorders because of it.
00:21:57
Speaker
The article says the Philly Fat Con.
00:21:59
Speaker
Oh, come on.
00:22:00
Speaker
You could have had the name and the logo, Philly Fat Fest, all spelled with PH at the front.
00:22:06
Speaker
It's so dumb.
00:22:08
Speaker
It's so dumb.
00:22:09
Speaker
It's brilliant.
00:22:10
Speaker
No!
00:22:11
Speaker
It's just dumb.
00:22:13
Speaker
Philly Fat Con.
00:22:14
Speaker
Let's have some action.
00:22:15
Speaker
Let's have some asses wiggling.
00:22:17
Speaker
I want some perfection.
00:22:20
Speaker
Aims to be a judgment-free event.
00:22:22
Speaker
Of course it's judgment-free.
00:22:24
Speaker
We can't have judgment in our lives.
00:22:26
Speaker
Why should anyone be subject to a world of other people's judgments?
00:22:30
Speaker
Anyway, they say they aim to be a judgment-free event focused on creating a community.
00:22:35
Speaker
Of course it's a community, a large community for fat people by fat people recognizing those who are often overlooked because of their size.
00:22:44
Speaker
All right, well, if they're fat, how can they be overlooked?
00:22:47
Speaker
Wouldn't the anorexics be more likely to be overlooked?
00:22:50
Speaker
Hey, fatty, you are fat.
00:22:54
Speaker
The idea is to help others navigate this fatphobic world and society in a different way and providing clothing for people who need it, no matter what your body looks like.
00:23:05
Speaker
Jankerman, Ray, and Harris got to talking and they decided they wanted to throw a bigger weekend-long event to bring people together and celebrate fat bodies.
00:23:14
Speaker
They began planning in November of 2022 and officially announced FatCon on social media in March.
00:23:20
Speaker
People just want to be able to be themselves.
00:23:22
Speaker
That's the dire need for something like Philly FatCon, Ray said.
00:23:25
Speaker
Be yourself.
00:23:27
Speaker
Be yourself.
00:23:30
Speaker
Be yourself.
00:23:32
Speaker
I need to start a no-particular-community-or-cause convention.
00:23:35
Speaker
Just people of all races, shapes, sizes, backgrounds, hanging out, not talking about their race, shape, size, and background.
00:23:41
Speaker
You know, a party.
00:23:44
Speaker
Now the highlights of the convention.
00:23:46
Speaker
You ready for these?
00:23:47
Speaker
The keynote speaker is the fat sex therapist.
00:23:53
Speaker
Is it a therapist for people who have fat sex or is the therapist fat?
00:23:58
Speaker
Sonali Rashetwar in a featured talk with Joy Cox, author of Fat Girls and Black Bodies.
00:24:05
Speaker
A victimhood and oppression twofer involving weight and race.
00:24:10
Speaker
Also another highlight, attendees can join fat-friendly fitness classes and shop an open market with up to 40 vendors.
00:24:17
Speaker
A, if these people attended fitness classes, do I really need to finish this joke?
00:24:21
Speaker
B, even if they wanted to attend, who exercises at a convention?
00:24:26
Speaker
And here's the best part, tickets are only $75 each of the three days, or you can get the very immense person, the VIP passes, for $250.
00:24:35
Speaker
And now a barrage of leftover fat jokes that fat people and fat comedians are allowed to say, but we fit conservatives who apparently hate everybody if we tease anyone that are sure to offend amateur nation can't.
00:24:49
Speaker
Fat pros will probably laugh at these.
00:24:52
Speaker
I hope this convention is bring your own chair.
00:24:55
Speaker
What am I saying?
00:24:56
Speaker
Most probably will attend on rascals.
00:24:58
Speaker
And I bet the food vendors are going to clean house.
00:25:01
Speaker
No shit.
00:25:02
Speaker
You know, you guys ought to watch it.
00:25:04
Speaker
Making fun of people like that.
00:25:05
Speaker
You could hurt their feelings.
00:25:07
Speaker
I just assume all an amateur nation have hurt feelings 24-7.
00:25:10
Speaker
It's easier that way.
00:25:12
Speaker
I mean, what the hell kind of country is this where I can only hate a man if
Health Policies and Global Perspectives
00:25:16
Speaker
he's white?
00:25:16
Speaker
And no, again, I don't hate fat people.
00:25:18
Speaker
That's stupid.
00:25:20
Speaker
As I've said before, I really don't hate anyone.
00:25:22
Speaker
Just absolutely fried on victim culture.
00:25:25
Speaker
There's nothing wrong with making people laugh.
00:25:35
Speaker
Speaking of food and eating, this is a la carte.
00:25:39
Speaker
Not so fun fact, in 1983, the CDC had 10 vaccines on its schedule and autism occurred in one in 10,000 people.
00:25:49
Speaker
In 2013, they had 32 vaccines on its schedule and that number jumped to one in 88.
00:25:58
Speaker
In 2018, the CDC had 74 vaccines and one in 36 people with autism.
00:26:05
Speaker
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
00:26:07
Speaker
Science isn't an exact science.
00:26:09
Speaker
You know, the worst thing about updating your iTunes is getting that shitty U2 album back in your artist's playlist.
00:26:15
Speaker
It's a free album, and I delete it every time on principle.
00:26:19
Speaker
Looks like Thread's dead, baby.
00:26:22
Speaker
Thread's dead.
00:26:24
Speaker
Late on this one, but did you know July 25th was World Drowning Prevention Day?
00:26:28
Speaker
So just stay on land, I guess.
00:26:32
Speaker
And all those other days, feel free to drown.
00:26:36
Speaker
Here's one.
00:26:37
Speaker
You think you have it rough as an LGBTQIA plus ampersand exclamation point at symbol person in America?
00:26:43
Speaker
Have a go at it in China.
00:26:45
Speaker
China has officially shut down the last LGBTQ center in Beijing.
00:26:49
Speaker
Turns out China is trying to increase the birth rate as they view homosexuality as a malign foreign influence that is stopping youth from getting married and having children.
00:26:59
Speaker
Homosexuality is indeed legal in China, but same-sex marriage and adoption by gay couples are not allowed.
00:27:05
Speaker
And what's more, ready for this, woke amateurs?
00:27:07
Speaker
E-Wins people, remember E-Wins, everyone who is not straight, are not legally protected against discrimination in China.
00:27:15
Speaker
You know, China.
00:27:18
Speaker
where the child slaves work in caves and they dig for battery batter for your terrifyingly named Nissan Leaf.
00:27:24
Speaker
Tell me again how America sucks, how you're oppressed, not seen, not celebrated.
00:27:29
Speaker
Go fuck yourself.
00:27:31
Speaker
Still waiting for footage of all these kids birthed by men.
00:27:34
Speaker
Well, we're waiting.
00:27:38
Speaker
Time now for three pro things.
00:27:39
Speaker
Three things that are done right.
00:27:41
Speaker
Number one.
00:27:44
Speaker
Here we have his response to this stupidly spewed forth on Twitter where this woman tweeted this.
00:27:47
Speaker
Anti-woke always meant anti-black.
Challenging Mainstream Narratives and Reflecting on the Past
00:28:07
Speaker
What's playing out in Florida is proof of that.
00:28:10
Speaker
If it's so horrible there for black people, why aren't they leaving in droves?
00:28:14
Speaker
Here's Chad Jackson's response.
00:28:16
Speaker
He says, when you say black, you're not merely talking about one skin color, but one's mindset.
00:28:23
Speaker
You subscribe to the notion that to be black is to feel oppressed and to believe that Marxism is the only solution to that oppression.
00:28:30
Speaker
Since Marxism is synonymous with wokeness, you thusly believe that anti-wokeness is anti-blackness.
00:28:38
Speaker
You have found a new way to call someone racist.
00:28:41
Speaker
Thanks, but no thanks.
00:28:44
Speaker
Number two.
00:28:47
Speaker
Bad news for climate change alarmists.
00:28:50
Speaker
Introducing Michael Schellenberger, an American author and former public relations professional whose writing has focused on the intersection of politics, the environment, climate change, and nuclear power, as well as more recently on how he believes progressivism is linked to homelessness, drug addiction, and mental illness.
00:29:06
Speaker
Listen to him speaking on some very basic facts, complete with visual support.
00:29:11
Speaker
Sorry, amateurs.
00:29:12
Speaker
I know you still have feelings that are ever so strong about how the environment is actually getting better.
00:29:18
Speaker
You've all heard the news.
00:29:20
Speaker
Climate change is destroying your future.
00:29:25
Speaker
Carbon dioxide is accumulating in the atmosphere.
00:29:27
Speaker
Global warming is killing the Great Barrier Reef.
00:29:31
Speaker
But there's more to this story.
00:29:34
Speaker
Over the last decade, total global emissions declined.
00:29:41
Speaker
Deaths from natural disasters have diminished to a few hundred a year in the United States.
00:29:47
Speaker
Even as the global population quadrupled over the last century, they've declined internationally by over 90%.
00:29:57
Speaker
The Great Barrier Reef recorded the highest amount of coral in 36 years and maybe longer because that's the amount of time that we've been studying and measuring.
00:30:09
Speaker
How come nobody is saying that?
00:30:12
Speaker
Easy.
00:30:12
Speaker
No money in the fear-mongering of it.
00:30:15
Speaker
And number three.
00:30:19
Speaker
I was commenting to my girlfriend how I feel I was born in the sweet spot of America.
00:30:23
Speaker
I was born in 1967.
00:30:25
Speaker
Too young to be affected by the civil unrest of the 60s.
00:30:28
Speaker
Teenager during the prosperous 80s.
00:30:30
Speaker
Not to mention the wide variety of great music and the advent of MTV when it was good and actually played videos.
00:30:35
Speaker
A more innocent time where we had technology, but it wasn't invasive.
00:30:40
Speaker
Even the 90s had its share of good music.
00:30:42
Speaker
My radio career was during the peak of radio DJ popularity from 86 to 97.
00:30:47
Speaker
This next post touched me and instantly transported me back to my childhood.
00:30:52
Speaker
This post from Men's Corner on Instagram.
00:30:56
Speaker
Running through the sprinklers.
00:30:58
Speaker
Chasing down the ice cream truck.
00:31:00
Speaker
Riding bikes with friends around the neighborhood.
00:31:03
Speaker
Swinging so high that the poles lifted out of the ground.
00:31:07
Speaker
Picking blueberries.
00:31:08
Speaker
Catching fireflies.
00:31:10
Speaker
No internet.
00:31:11
Speaker
No cell phones.
00:31:12
Speaker
No social media.
00:31:14
Speaker
We headed home when the streetlights came on.
00:31:17
Speaker
Those were the summers of my childhood.
00:31:19
Speaker
How lucky I was to have grown up before technology took over the world.
00:31:27
Speaker
I did all those things when I was a kid.

00:31:49
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:31:50
Speaker
Remember, amateurs, we see you.
00:31:53
Speaker
You're not an angel.
00:31:54
Speaker
Don't do life wrong.
00:31:55
Speaker
Go pro.
00:31:57
Speaker
Don't be an amateur.
00:31:58
Speaker
For Amateur Nation, I'm Lou Santini, and this has been a big major production.
00:32:02
Speaker
I guess that finishes me.
00:32:12
Speaker
I'll have to quit school and go someplace where people don't know who I am.
