Podcast Overview: Critiquing 'Amateurs'

00:01:53
Speaker
Okay, let's all shut up, please.
00:01:55
Speaker
Warning.
00:01:55
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:02:01
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:02:07
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.
00:02:18
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:02:20
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:02:22
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:02:25
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:02:28
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:02:31
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:02:33
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:36
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-whoring, self-entitled, drama queen, victim types who chip away at the moments of your life due to no self-awareness, common sense, manners, or social skills, and are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:02:52
Speaker
Hi mom.
00:02:53
Speaker
Oh, hey Lou.
00:02:53
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:02:57
Speaker
This is episode 249, What a Difference a President Makes.
00:03:03
Speaker
On today's episode, we might have a new champion in the dumbest fucking mayor of all time, your balls are your own problem, and Amateur Nation needs more attention.
00:03:12
Speaker
Then we eat off other people's plates without asking on a la carte, and three things that are done right on three pro things.

Community Engagement and Supporters

00:03:20
Speaker
Pro Nation first, shouts out to Regina Floyd and Country Glasses on Truth Social, Rose Landgren on YouTube, and Awakening Degree, Lynn Marks, Jeff Halstead, Alejandra Oreano, and Together in Truth on Instagram.
00:03:40
Speaker
And your post of the week by one of my favorite accounts on Instagram, Nashville Tea Party.
00:03:44
Speaker
This quote by Thomas Sowell.

Questioning Crime and Discrimination [Q&A]

00:03:47
Speaker
If crime is a product of poverty and discrimination, as they say endlessly, why was there so much less of it when poverty and discrimination were much worse than today?
00:03:59
Speaker
If massive programs are the only hope to reduce violence in the ghetto, why was there so much less violence long before anyone ever thought of these programs?
00:04:10
Speaker
Well, we're waiting.
00:04:14
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.

Life in California: Pre and Post-Pandemic

00:04:16
Speaker
Now dig this.
00:04:17
Speaker
Step one.
00:04:18
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:21
Speaker
I lived in California from 1997 to 2020.
00:04:26
Speaker
24 years.
00:04:27
Speaker
Specifically, I lived in Burbank slash Toluca Lake.
00:04:30
Speaker
They border each other.
00:04:32
Speaker
North Hollywood slash Toluca Lake.
00:04:33
Speaker
They also border each other.
00:04:35
Speaker
And then Studio City during my remaining time there.
00:04:40
Speaker
All beautiful communities in the San Fernando Valley.
00:04:43
Speaker
Of the three, North Hollywood was the sketchiest, but only if you went really deep north into the valley.
00:04:49
Speaker
I always lived in a safe, clean area.
00:04:52
Speaker
That is, until the pandemic, then it all started going to shit.
00:04:55
Speaker
Burbank is its own municipality, so to speak, in that they have a separate police and fire departments that are not part of Los Angeles County.
00:05:05
Speaker
They have their own electric grid and water supply.
00:05:07
Speaker
So if, for example, Los Angeles had a blackout, Burbank was always okay.
00:05:12
Speaker
You won't see graffiti very much in Burbank.
00:05:15
Speaker
Most of the streets are lighted.
00:05:16
Speaker
Sidewalks are clear for evening jogs or walks with your kids.
00:05:20
Speaker
The parks are really nice.
00:05:22
Speaker
I played on a softball league in Burbank for almost 20 years year-round.
00:05:26
Speaker
Flappers Comedy Club was pretty much my home club for the last seven or so years that I lived there.
00:05:31
Speaker
Plus, Burbank's location is great.
00:05:34
Speaker
It's close to a bunch of major highways,
00:05:36
Speaker
It's 10 minutes to downtown where there was very minimal traffic.
00:05:40
Speaker
Houses, like most in California, are expensive but somewhat affordable.
00:05:44
Speaker
People had, you know, nice little yards.
00:05:46
Speaker
It was very neighborly.
00:05:48
Speaker
If you're speeding...
00:05:49
Speaker
On a 35 mile per hour road and going, say, 45 in Studio City, North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, you're not getting pulled over.
00:05:57
Speaker
If you're going 40 in a 35 in Burbank, they will ding you.
00:06:02
Speaker
They like their law and order there.
00:06:04
Speaker
It's clean.
00:06:05
Speaker
No real signs of gang activity.
00:06:07
Speaker
And the residents like it that way, as did I. One of my best friends lived in Burbank.
00:06:12
Speaker
Put it this way, if you're going to live in the San Fernando Valley, east of the 405 freeway, you want to live in the Toluca Lake Burbank area.
00:06:21
Speaker
It's home of NBC and Warner Brothers, Jay Leno's Garage.

Political Critique in Burbank

00:06:25
Speaker
Enter this fuckstick, Burbank Mayor Constantine Anthony.
00:06:29
Speaker
former actor playing the pretend role as mayor since 2022.
00:06:33
Speaker
He's also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
00:06:37
Speaker
He's going to do what communists do, create a problem, fix something that didn't need fixing, then have the solution to the problem he created.
00:06:46
Speaker
Okay, pretend mayor and failed actor, let's get your rainbow t-shirt in the shot and action.
00:06:53
Speaker
So what's it going to be?
00:06:54
Speaker
Paper airplanes?
00:06:55
Speaker
How a rock works?
00:06:56
Speaker
Now, and not just hang on a minute.
00:06:58
Speaker
Hear him out.
00:06:58
Speaker
He could have a great idea.
00:07:00
Speaker
I'm sensing a little sarcasm.
00:07:02
Speaker
Take it away, genius.
00:07:03
Speaker
Complete transformative change in our society to move to a policeless state.
00:07:11
Speaker
Ah, so you mean chaos.
00:07:13
Speaker
If he gets up, we'll all get up.
00:07:16
Speaker
It'll be anarchy.
00:07:17
Speaker
That sound you hear are hundreds of thousands of homeowners calling real estate agents and selling their homes before the looting, crime, and other forms of lawlessness begin.
00:07:25
Speaker
Because as we all know, it's the mere presence of police, law, and order that is the problem.
00:07:30
Speaker
You can't go anywhere in Burbank without the cops hassling you.
00:07:33
Speaker
Meaning?
00:07:35
Speaker
The fundamental understanding of how we convict, catch, chase crime and criminology and treat people in jails and prisons and all of that.
00:07:45
Speaker
Yes, most experts finish their thoughts with, and all of that.
00:07:49
Speaker
Keep in mind, this never actor has no expertise in crime or criminology.
00:07:53
Speaker
But he's got ideas.
00:07:55
Speaker
He imagines stuff.
00:07:56
Speaker
Or maybe he's just a big homo.
00:07:59
Speaker
It could be.
00:07:59
Speaker
So, time to implement.
00:08:01
Speaker
Listen carefully because I'm only going to say this a lot.
00:08:04
Speaker
Amateurs like to play the game where I can imagine it so it could be and thus it is and then pass it off as truth.
00:08:13
Speaker
Grown men, I'm a girl.
00:08:16
Speaker
What?
00:08:16
Speaker
I could be.
00:08:18
Speaker
I'm wearing earrings.
00:08:19
Speaker
I'm carrying a purse.
00:08:20
Speaker
No, I haven't had sexual reassignment surgery, but I could.
00:08:24
Speaker
So let's take the leap that I did.
00:08:25
Speaker
And so now I'm a girl.
00:08:27
Speaker
I just said it.
00:08:28
Speaker
Then here it comes.
00:08:30
Speaker
It's my truth.
00:08:31
Speaker
And just like that, instant broad.
00:08:34
Speaker
We are still living in sort of a quasi, you know, 20th century ideology.
00:08:42
Speaker
Uh, that doesn't make any sense.
00:08:44
Speaker
Ooh, he said quasi.
00:08:47
Speaker
Sure, it makes no sense, but he said a thing that most people don't say, so get those ears perked up.
00:08:52
Speaker
Uh, you do something bad, you gotta get punished.
00:08:56
Speaker
Can you imagine principles?
00:08:58
Speaker
Order, accountability, self-responsibility, such oppression, ew, adulthood.
00:09:04
Speaker
Yeah, I'm brainy, uh.
00:09:06
Speaker
That works when you're five.
00:09:08
Speaker
Uh.
00:09:09
Speaker
by the time you're six, completely ineffective.
00:09:12
Speaker
Please go home before I tell you you're acting like an idiot and make you cry.
00:09:16
Speaker
So, as an abolitionist, my policies resonate with the average American.
00:09:23
Speaker
the average communist American.
00:09:25
Speaker
Also, this policy of no punishment for crime tells me he's done some stuff that warrants a warrant for his arrest.
00:09:32
Speaker
I don't know what the heck's going on here, but someone needs to get their asses kicked.
00:09:37
Speaker
Nobody wants to go to jail.
00:09:39
Speaker
Nobody wants to have rampant crime.
00:09:42
Speaker
Did you mean for all those words to come out together or did they just fall out randomly?
00:09:47
Speaker
Are you sure?
00:09:49
Speaker
I could have sworn I've had friends who mentioned their desire for crime in their neighborhoods.

Criticism of Elected Officials

00:09:53
Speaker
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or just weird.
00:09:56
Speaker
Man, I never thought of it that way.
00:09:59
Speaker
I guess I always assumed criminals did crime because they needed three hots and a cot, which is more than many of our veterans get.
00:10:05
Speaker
So your solution to ending rampant crime is what exactly?
00:10:09
Speaker
Nobody wants to see people stuck in prison for the rest of their lives and not have an opportunity to grow and learn and change and give back to society.
00:10:20
Speaker
Wrong!
00:10:21
Speaker
That's wrong!
00:10:23
Speaker
Hey, parent of a young child who was raped and murdered by an adult, do you want your child's attacker to grow and learn and change and get back to society?
00:10:33
Speaker
I'd like to devote an entire week of punching this amateur.
00:10:36
Speaker
I really need to kill someone.
00:10:38
Speaker
The best part is, he wouldn't want to punish me.
00:10:40
Speaker
Okay!
00:10:42
Speaker
I know most of my audience is made up of pro-nation, people who have common sense.
00:10:47
Speaker
But in case there are new amateurs out there who are listening for the first time and are curious, listen up.
00:10:53
Speaker
The people that represent you, the people that are your spokespersons in Amateur Nation, the liberals, the communists, are literally the dumbest, most embarrassing, immature, corrupt people in the country, and you voted for them.
00:11:07
Speaker
Therefore, that makes you part of the dumbest, most embarrassing, immature, corrupt people in the country.
00:11:12
Speaker
Did this guy learn nothing from Minnesota, Portland, and Seattle?
00:11:16
Speaker
Have you ever talked to a policeman and asked them what they've seen, what they think the solution is to prosecuting and or preventing crime?
00:11:26
Speaker
I don't think one cop in America would say, well, we should cut back on our manpower, time and resources and go easier on them when they go to trial.
00:11:35
Speaker
Does this guy think he discovered a new way to solve, stop, and prevent crime and punish people?
00:11:40
Speaker
Do you think people only commit crimes out of necessity?
00:11:43
Speaker
Because they need bread, as human air bubble AOC said.
00:11:47
Speaker
Do you think there's only certain types of crime?
00:11:50
Speaker
This amateur, Constantine Anthony, should be removed from office immediately.
00:11:55
Speaker
And what's more, he should be denied gainful employment in any position of responsibility and or decision making.
00:12:01
Speaker
He's not an innovator.
00:12:03
Speaker
He's not enlightened.
00:12:05
Speaker
He's a communist who has been bribed to destroy a beautiful part of the San Fernando Valley.
00:12:11
Speaker
California is just not a safe place.
00:12:13
Speaker
And now this.
00:12:15
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:12:17
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:12:20
Speaker
From the Daily Star, can you tell me how many things are wrong in this headline?

Jessica Yaniv's Legal Battles

00:12:24
Speaker
Trans woman who kept suing salons for refusing to wax her balls has very different life.
00:12:34
Speaker
If you counted three things, you win.
00:12:36
Speaker
A, no such thing as a trans woman.
00:12:38
Speaker
B, you can't sue a business for something they don't do.
00:12:42
Speaker
And C, there is no such thing as her balls.
00:12:45
Speaker
There, we got that settled.
00:12:47
Speaker
Moving on, here's the article.
00:12:49
Speaker
A Canadian transgender activist who submitted a string of lawsuits against beauty salons for refusing to wax her male genitalia has stepped out of the spotlight to focus on life as a student.
00:13:01
Speaker
It comes after British Columbian trans woman Jessica Yaniv, who now goes by Jessica Simpson...
00:13:08
Speaker
So it's not enough that you deny your biological gender, but you even hate your birth name.
00:13:14
Speaker
Anyway, Jessica Simpson lost a number of cases and ended up with a criminal record.
00:13:20
Speaker
The article says Jessica made headlines after filing more than a dozen complaints with the B.C.
00:13:25
Speaker
Human Rights Tribunal back in 2018, accusing numerous salons of refusing services because she was transgender.
00:13:32
Speaker
That's a bunch of cock.
00:13:34
Speaker
The 36-year-old who has said she realized she was transgender when she was about six, but apparently just now needs his balls waxed.
00:13:44
Speaker
What, no hair down there until now, ma'am?
00:13:47
Speaker
Has not undergone gender reassignment surgery, which means she still has a penis and testicles.
00:13:55
Speaker
And is still a he.
00:13:57
Speaker
And will always be a he.
00:13:59
Speaker
Putting a Mercedes emblem on your geotracker doesn't make it a Mercedes.
00:14:03
Speaker
But you in Pro Nation know this.
00:14:04
Speaker
Sorry for a second there, I forgot that my pro listeners aren't stupid.
00:14:08
Speaker
The article says she approached 13 local beauty salons requesting services including a Brazilian wax and claimed the salon workers refusal to wax her genitalia was discriminatory as she sought damages in the region of $15,000 from the South Asian businesses.
00:14:26
Speaker
The beauticians who turned her down argued they weren't trained to perform bikini waxes on testicles and some said their religious beliefs forbid them from touching male genitalia.
00:14:37
Speaker
I don't know what religion that is.
00:14:38
Speaker
This explains a lot of the women who have turned me down, but nonetheless.
00:14:42
Speaker
Forget about the fact that the only reason this amateur wants his balls waxed is because he wants strangers to handle his balls.
00:14:48
Speaker
Now, these are facts.
00:14:50
Speaker
You can't refute facts.
00:14:52
Speaker
When someone tells you, hey, I don't know how to wax balls, a procedure that involves hot wax on your balls, you need to appreciate their honesty.
00:15:01
Speaker
The article says, Jessica said their refusal to handle their... Oh, my God.
00:15:08
Speaker
Jessica... I got to start over.
00:15:10
Speaker
The article says, Jessica said their refusal to handle her genitals... You mean the penis?
00:15:17
Speaker
Yes, the penis....was unfair, as she claimed she was protected under the British Columbia Human Rights Code.
00:15:25
Speaker
But the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal...
00:15:29
Speaker
I wonder if the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ever thought they'd be handling balls in court.
00:15:36
Speaker
Anyway, they rejected her case and said she made the complaints to make money and racially targeted the South Asian community because she believed they were transphobic.
00:15:46
Speaker
The tribunal said she manufactured the conditions for a human rights complaint as they ruled the salons could not be discriminating against her because they'd never waxed anyone's scrotum.
00:15:59
Speaker
This is when I wished I had been a judge.
00:16:01
Speaker
I'd be giving out electric chair sentences like candy.
00:16:04
Speaker
The article continues.
00:16:05
Speaker
The verdict, by the way, this gets so much better.
00:16:09
Speaker
The verdict from the tribunal read, human rights legislation does not require a service provider to wax a type of genitals they are not trained for and have not consented to wax.
00:16:20
Speaker
There's a sentence I bet that group of lawyers and judges never thought they'd write up.
00:16:24
Speaker
She was ordered to pay $6,000 in restitution, split equally among three salons.
00:16:31
Speaker
But her problems with the law didn't end there.
00:16:33
Speaker
In August 2019, Jessica was charged with possession of an unauthorized weapon after displaying a taser during a live-streamed YouTube debate with transgender YouTuber Blair White.
00:16:45
Speaker
She was found guilty and sentenced to probation and a firearms prohibition.
00:16:50
Speaker
Learning nothing...
00:16:52
Speaker
The article says she then returned to her litigious ways in January of 2020, attempting to sue yet another beauty salon run by immigrant Sikh women who she approached for bikini and leg waxing, but eventually dropped the case.
00:17:07
Speaker
How gay are you?
00:17:09
Speaker
Her next attempt...
00:17:10
Speaker
to sue came in August when she sought $35,000 from the township of Langley over her treatment surrounding her 2019 arrest claiming she experienced disability discrimination.
00:17:23
Speaker
In October 2020, she then targeted the Canada Galaxy beauty pageant in a new complaint, seeking damages of $10,000 for injury to dignity and feelings because they had a policy only allowing transgender women who had fully transitioned to compete.
00:17:40
Speaker
Quit acting like a little bitch.
00:17:42
Speaker
And if you still think these transgendered amateurs aren't mentally ill...
00:17:48
Speaker
The article continues.
00:17:49
Speaker
The next year, Jessica's controversial behavior continued when the Langley Fire Department accused her of inappropriate and lewd conduct towards their firefighters when she called them dozens of times to lift her out of the bath.
00:18:05
Speaker
And by the way, the article's calling her her.
00:18:07
Speaker
I am not doing that.
00:18:09
Speaker
I'm just quoting the article.
00:18:11
Speaker
The article continues, while she was never charged over the incident, Jessica's legal issues continued when she was found guilty of assaulting video journalist Kian Bextie from alt-right publication Rebel Media in May last year.
00:18:26
Speaker
Despite being found guilty, the judge granted a conditional discharge, which meant the charge would not appear on Jessica's criminal record.
00:18:34
Speaker
And no, we're still not done with this idiot.
00:18:36
Speaker
The article says...
00:18:38
Speaker
But just two months later, she did finally receive a criminal record when she pleaded guilty to one count of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm in relation to a 2020 incident involving activist Chris Elston, who protests against transgender medical treatment for children.
00:18:55
Speaker
Since then, Jessica has continued to be vocal about transgender rights on social media, but appears to be attempting to avoid more trouble with the law by leading a more low-profile life.
00:19:06
Speaker
She's currently in her third year at Simon Fraser University, a fine-accredited college, I believe their mascot is the Fighting Gerbils, where she is studying crime and gender studies.
00:19:17
Speaker
Of course she is.
00:19:18
Speaker
Last year, she launched an unsuccessful bid to become vice president of the university student union, coming in second to last in the election with just 17 votes.
00:19:28
Speaker
I guess that finishes me.
00:19:29
Speaker
I'll have to quit school and go someplace where people don't know who I am.
00:19:33
Speaker
Prior to the results, Jessica accused the Simon Fraser Student Society of fraudulent rigged voting.
00:19:40
Speaker
Oh, I and the rest of America feel you there, dude.

00:20:31
Speaker
Or get your boyfriend to do it.
00:20:33
Speaker
Girl.

Symbolism and Identity Politics Rant

00:22:10
Speaker
a movement.
00:22:10
Speaker
The honor and remember flag is a nationally recognized symbol that sends a message of appreciation for the sacrifice made
00:22:18
Speaker
by our fallen heroes and their families.
00:22:21
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.
00:22:33
Speaker
Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
00:22:36
Speaker
Together, we remember them all.
00:22:49
Speaker
This time slower and with less passion.
00:22:52
Speaker
Alright, now step three.
00:22:54
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:22:55
Speaker
Hit me!
00:22:58
Speaker
It's time for... Amateur Nation Needs More Attention!
00:23:02
Speaker
First up, this amateur millennial sporting, no joke, rainbow-colored hair while wearing a rainbow tie-dyed tee speaking in front of a rainbow pride flag.
00:23:13
Speaker
Do not assume she's gay.
00:23:15
Speaker
He said it is what it is!
00:23:18
Speaker
Well, it is what it is because he who is who he is.
00:23:22
Speaker
That's why it is what it is.
00:23:24
Speaker
I said hang on.
00:23:25
Speaker
Hear her him they out.
00:23:27
Speaker
Listen carefully.
00:23:28
Speaker
It's quick.
00:23:29
Speaker
How are you going to assume that I'm gay just because I have rainbow hair or wearing a rainbow shirt?
00:23:32
Speaker
I got a rainbow prize flag behind it.
00:23:34
Speaker
So, this amateur goes out of him, her, they way to using the rainbow to perpetuate what she calls hate.
00:23:40
Speaker
That is, people who comment and call her out on this childish plea for attention.
00:23:44
Speaker
Then, has the nerve to turn it on us.
00:23:48
Speaker
You, the viewer.
00:23:49
Speaker
Ugh, I
00:23:51
Speaker
This is the crap they're pulling now.
00:23:53
Speaker
Amateur nation not only doesn't want to live in a world of stereotypes, many of which are harmless and accurate, but they also don't want to live in a world with deductive reasoning.
00:24:03
Speaker
Simple example.
00:24:04
Speaker
You're walking down the street and see someone approaching you smiling or laughing while they're on the phone.
00:24:09
Speaker
Would you not assume they're in a good mood or talking about something funny or happy?
00:24:14
Speaker
Of course you would.
00:24:15
Speaker
Not an amateur nation.
00:24:16
Speaker
Don't assume anything.
00:24:18
Speaker
Live your life on pins and needles, walking on eggshells.
00:24:21
Speaker
That person could be going through severe trauma and anxiety and oppression.
00:24:25
Speaker
Thusly, if you see someone with rainbow hair, a rainbow tee, and holding a rainbow pride flag, assume nothing.
00:24:32
Speaker
They might just like rainbows.
00:24:34
Speaker
And if you get it wrong, prepare for the backlash, you scum.
00:24:37
Speaker
And don't forget to guess their ever-important pronouns and their favorite food and TV show.
00:24:42
Speaker
Each time you get something wrong about these uber-special elite class of people, that's another strike on your record, resulting in loss of income, friends, and social status.
00:24:50
Speaker
Look, you take that commie crap out to the street.
00:24:57
Speaker
Now it's time to play What's That Noise?

Mocking Climate Activism

00:25:15
Speaker
If you guessed, was that a German climate activist getting what he deserved as paramedics worked to remove his self-glued hand from the ground?
00:25:23
Speaker
You're a winner!
00:25:24
Speaker
Boy, what in the hell's the matter with you?
00:25:27
Speaker
That's worth another listen.
00:25:28
Speaker
I have the translation for you coming up, but first, let's again listen to his girlish screams.
00:25:36
Speaker
Also, is it me or does his scream have a German accent?
00:25:40
Speaker
Here we go.
00:25:41
Speaker
Ah.
00:26:02
Speaker
I want to thank my lovely friend Katie Rausch for translating his girlish screams.
00:26:06
Speaker
The first part I can translate.
00:26:08
Speaker
He's saying, My friend Katie told me the rest is, the guy screaming is saying damn and shit.
00:26:16
Speaker
One of the other guys said that he's screaming and faking it for attention.
00:26:20
Speaker
You know what?
00:26:21
Speaker
It's so good.
00:26:22
Speaker
Play that one more time, please.
00:26:25
Speaker
Faking or not, I don't think he's faking it.
00:26:41
Speaker
Faking or not, this amateur absolutely should have been left there to die in the middle of the road.
00:26:48
Speaker
This kind of bullshit virtue signaling is my most loathed because he knows that someone, a pro, will come to his rescue and thus garner more attention for him.
00:26:59
Speaker
Like all amateurs, they pose as rebels and anarchists, but as soon as reality sets in... Help!
00:27:04
Speaker
Help!
00:27:05
Speaker
I'm being repressed!
00:27:06
Speaker
Let him die there, or better yet, spend the rest of his life there like a living monument to amateur behavior, and people can just bring him food as the middle of the road becomes his new home.
00:27:16
Speaker
Special thanks to atlibs on Instagram for the post.
00:27:27
Speaker
It's time for a la carte.
00:27:29
Speaker
Here we go.
00:27:31
Speaker
I'm sorry, I don't like brownies.

Political Ridicule and Commentary

00:27:33
Speaker
Either have cake or have a cookie.
00:27:35
Speaker
That's right, I'm browniest.
00:27:38
Speaker
Good news!
00:27:39
Speaker
Turned out we found an extra $200 million under the sofa cushions to give BioLab money laundering human trafficking capital of the world, Ukraine!
00:27:48
Speaker
Our second there, I was worried they didn't have enough money.
00:27:52
Speaker
Speaking of human trafficking, Disney is raising their ticket prices by up to 9% and the annual passes by 10%.
00:27:58
Speaker
Eh, got a lot of kids to move.
00:28:00
Speaker
Those humans won't traffic themselves.
00:28:03
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Racism.
00:28:06
Speaker
You've heard of Amber Alerts.
00:28:08
Speaker
Your phone blows up, you see them on the highways when there's a missing child.
00:28:11
Speaker
Well, California passed a law creating a new Ebony Alert to find missing black children only.
00:28:18
Speaker
Coming!
00:28:19
Speaker
Wait, what are we doing?
00:28:21
Speaker
Coming soon, yellow alerts for missing Asian children.
00:28:24
Speaker
And, I don't know, jalapeno alerts for missing Latin children.
00:28:28
Speaker
Californians, you should be embarrassed and ashamed.
00:28:32
Speaker
Alright, so your phone blows up.
00:28:34
Speaker
What the hell was that?
00:28:35
Speaker
Ah, nothing, it's just a missing Asian kid.
00:28:37
Speaker
I'm only concerned and scoop out the area for missing black kids.
00:28:40
Speaker
Even I think that's kind of cruel.
00:28:42
Speaker
More good news, Bill Gates is doing his part to save the Earth.
00:28:46
Speaker
No, he hasn't killed himself.
00:28:48
Speaker
But the climate change ho- I mean scare is over.
00:28:51
Speaker
Bill, does this chloroform rack smell funny Gates docked as $300 million super yacht, thereby saving you and me 800 gallons of diesel fuel per use.
00:29:04
Speaker
Three things that are done right in this world could be anything.
00:29:09
Speaker
These are called three pro things.

Positive Recognitions and Quotes

00:29:11
Speaker
Number one.
00:29:17
Speaker
I love this post by at cam VTV on X. Someone please slip Biden's resignation onto his desk.
00:29:26
Speaker
He signs anything in front of him.
00:29:30
Speaker
Number two.
00:29:34
Speaker
This post from once a Marine, always a Marine on Facebook.
00:29:38
Speaker
Listen carefully.
00:29:39
Speaker
It's dead on.
00:29:41
Speaker
War is a racket.
00:29:43
Speaker
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.
00:29:49
Speaker
It is the only one international in scope.
00:29:53
Speaker
It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
00:29:59
Speaker
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to be to the majority of the people.
00:30:06
Speaker
Only a small inside group knows what it is really about.
00:30:11
Speaker
It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many.
00:30:18
Speaker
Out of war, a few people make huge fortunes.
00:30:23
Speaker
Who said that?
00:30:24
Speaker
Major General Smedley D. Butler, U.S. Marine Corps, two-time winner, Congressional Medal of Honor.
00:30:31
Speaker
He said this in 1935.
00:30:33
Speaker
We're seeing that again now.
00:30:38
Speaker
Number three.
00:30:39
Speaker
Ha!
00:30:42
Speaker
This post on Truth Social regarding the war, and that's what it is.
00:30:45
Speaker
Make no mistake, it's not a conflict, an uprising.
00:30:48
Speaker
It is a war in Israel, a war started by Hamas and Palestine.
00:30:53
Speaker
This post comes from the true President of the United States, Donald Trump.
00:30:58
Speaker
There can be no coexistence with this violence.
00:31:01
Speaker
There can be no tolerating it, no accepting it, no excusing it, and no ignoring it.
00:31:06
Speaker
Every time a terrorist murders an innocent person and falsely invokes the name of God, it should be an insult to every person of faith.
00:31:14
Speaker
Terrorists do not worship God.
00:31:17
Speaker
They worship death.
