Thank you guys so much for joining us here, you know, here at iHeart under the Black Effect Network. This is my third year on Laugh and Learn, my third year with my podcast. I appreciate you guys for listening, sharing, subscribing, and, you know, telling the friend.

I'm hoping that we are learning and laughing together because that's what the show is all about. I don't have a special guest today, which means that we're going to get right into it. Please join me each and every Monday night at the world-famous Laugh Factory on Hollywood Boulevard with my co-host Memphis Will, my producer Kyle Williams, and my DJ DJ Count.

We're there every Monday, 7.30. We have the greatest show on earth. You have to come out, and it's not a circus, even though the girl who run the big top is me. Yes, he's very clowny, but we have a great time. So come out and hang out with us, ladies and gentlemen.

But always listen, share, and subscribe to the podcast under the Black Effect Network or wherever you listen to your podcast at. Apple, Amazon, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcast. Let's get right into it, ladies and gentlemen. So in the news this week just happened. Meghan, Harry and Meghan, the royals were in New York and they were there for a press conference or they were there for a meeting or something. And they come out and the paparazzi were like savages. They were in the cars, on top of the cars, under the cars, on hanging off the buildings just to get a picture. They put these people's life in peril

just to get a picture to make a paycheck. This is the same way that Harry's mom died. Princess Diana tried to escape the camaraderie of the paparazzi with the picture taken and taking away their privacy. But with celebrity and with fame comes no more privacy. But it's the way that you do things. This young man watched his mom die in the same horrific and the same kind of way that could have possibly happened to him, dodging the paparazzi because she was dating somebody, like he said, his words, that was not white. And the establishment, the royals were not happy with that. It is preponderance. And they can say what they want to about that Meghan. That Megan Markle is a stunner. She always dresses fantastic. She always looks great.

And Harry looks at his wife. Let me say that one more time. Harry looks at his wife like she is the only woman on the planet. I know so many people who would love to be in her shoes and not just because they are pretty well off, but because you want your partner, your mate, your husband, your spouse to look at you with the love in their eyes like he has in his eyes for his wife. I think it is beautiful. I think it is fantastic. And I'm sick of the paparazzi. We know what they look like. Why must you have this certain kind of picture? You put other people's lives in danger with these cars. They almost died in a car accident just because you wanted to get of picture. You put other people's lives in danger with these cars. They almost died in a car accident just because you wanted to get a picture.

It's extreme. I don't know if I ever want to be that famous. Because I'm going to show you a picture, all right? I'm going to pull my shirt up and my pants down at the same time. You're going to get the best picture you ever seen. Woo! In the news, ladies and gentlemen,

this week, all the scandal, but my own conspiracy theory. If we remember when President Biden was running for president, we had 23 or 24 Democratic candidates. The first candidate on the first debate that attacked him and took him to the cleaners is now the vice president of the United States. Please pay attention to what's at hand. They are pinning Ron DeSantis against Donald Trump. But hear me and hear me very clearly and concisely. Republicans that are true Republicans will still vote Republican. They wanted to get away from Donald Trump because they thought Ron DeSantis was going

to be the new great white hope. But Ron DeSantis has showed them the extremities and he is taking jobs away and he is really trying to Brexit Florida, in my opinion. But what I believe is that they're working together because here's the conspiracy theory that I believe. Even though you don't want to vote for Ron DeSantis because you think he's way more extreme than Trump and he's Republican. The people that don't want to vote for Ron will go and vote for Don, even though they don't want to vote for Don, just because they don't want to vote for democracy for the Democratic Party. It's all the overplay for the underplay. I truly believe that Ron and Don are working together to make it look like this to the American people. And when the ticket hits, it will be Donald Trump and his vice presidential nominee will be Ron DeSantis.

This is my own conspiracy theories. I know they have to make it look good for the cameras. They have to make it look a certain way for America. But let's just go back to how Kamala Harris made it look so ugly for Joe Biden. And she is now the sitting vice president under Joe Biden in these United States. Listen, I am not a rocket scientist. It took me five years to get out of high school and I did not go to college. But common sense was given away for free if you were willing to take it. And I took it. Y'all need to pay attention to what's going on. And we really need to rally behind our old president, as y'all call him. He's 2-0. 2-0 for what? He's seasoned. He's experienced. And this is his last hurrah. Remember what John McCain did. He got up out his deathbed

to come and vote against Trump because he knew he was on his way out. This is the time where Joe Biden will be all in and go all out to save America. I believe that. I believe that he has made some mistakes in his past, especially when it comes to black and brown people. And he wants to clear it up in this last four years, which will be his last term, because you can only be president twice unless you believe what Trump said. He said that he thinks that it should be a lifetime appointment. And if he comes becomes president again, he may make it that way. If we remember the first time he said he wasn't leaving and did not leave and put up a fight and then turned the country against himself and tried to have his own vice president. You know the rest. All I can say about that is January 6th. You know the rest. Please pay attention to ladies and gentlemen.

I think it's the smokescreen to get us all the rally against. Oh, DeSantis is a madman. DeSantis is crazy and which may be true, but it's all a smokescreen to push the narrative towards Donald Trump so Donald Trump can appoint Ron DeSantis to be his vice president. Please pay attention, ladies and gentlemen. Americans, pay attention to your own democracy because we're not fighting for Republican and Democrat right now. We're fighting for American democracy. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, let me show you how important American democracy is. We are going crazy over. They just removed the Title 42 law with all the immigrants coming over, coming over from America, coming over, coming over to America for all these different third world countries or foreign countries or what have you. they're coming because the American dream in my era growing up was apple pie, a house with a white

picket fence, three kids, a two-car garage, and a dog. Let me tell you what the American dream has become and shown to the rest of the world. That you can do drag shows for tips or minimal money in Brazil, cross the border, make up a lie on a resume, and become a United States senator. And if you don't believe what I'm saying to you, I got two words for you. George Santos. Boom. George Santos did drag shows in Brazil, never had a heap of money, came across the border, created this entire resume, a whole facade of lies, and became a United States senator. And didn't became a United States senator and didn't become a United States senator. And we caught him and we ousted him. He is caught and still sitting, still presiding over bills that affect the American people, starting with the EDD unemployment bill. Mind you, he's over the same legislation that he himself has been accused of stealing EDD unemployment money. Oh my God,

if that ain't the American dream, I'm thinking about going to Guatemala and picking some fruit for $2 and coming back over here and changing my name and making up a full resume and becoming the president of these United States because you have shown us that it is possible. That is why all these migrants are crossing the border and coming to America because America is just a oyster of foolery right now. I said it. I said it. I said it. I believe it. And that is what these people see. And they read these stories. They hear these stories because it makes international news. And so they understand what it is. The American dream has changed. And we didn't change it. The country changed it. It is beyond repair. It is out of control and it is exceptionally scary.

I'm hoping that with the George Santos and McCarthy, Kevin McCarthy, the Speaker of the House, has him sitting in his position because he's trying to hold on to the power of the Republican Senate seats. This man is clearly wrong. This man is clearly out of pocket. This man has signed a bill for Florida with the Don't Say Gay Bill, which is anti-gay bill. And he is openly gay, does drag. And that's the only truth that we know is that he's openly gay. I don't even believe his real name is George Santos. Who knows what it is? It's been so many lies told on his behalf. But even with all of that, this is what we are showing people outside of America, that you can come here. We're still waiting on our 40 acres and a mule. Meanwhile, y'all are

letting people come over here who just make up lies on paper because their skin is fair. Oh, did I say that? Because their skin is fair, they can become anything they want to be. Yeah, this is the land of possibilities, but could you possibly tell the truth as opposed to telling the lies? Because that is what we are living in right now in this country, a barrage of lies. It is beyond repair, and we're fighting over so many different things. Meanwhile, we have not got gun control intact. Gun control is out of control every day, every other day. There is a mass shooting there. There's a mass shooting here. There's a mass shooting there. We don't want to talk about it, but we can get away from it. The sad part about it is that it

is so barbaric, but as Americans, it has become so commonplace to us. It is not even like, it is like, wow, another one? That is a sad place to be that we have become complacent with this all because we have no control over guns. There is those constitution that we, that there is a constitutional law that we have the right to bear arms, but there should be a law on that. Who bears the arms? And why are we having so much gun violence with so many kids, underage young men, mostly young white men, to say that they're disturbed or they went through this? We all have issues. We all went through the same pandemic for two years plus together. We all watched the numbers on TV of who died from this coronavirus. Millions and millions,

seven million people globally, 1 point whatever million in the United States. So it has affected us all. I know some of us are older and some of us are younger and we deal with things differently, but that's what counselors are needed. Counselors are needed to talk to. And if you see this crisis in your own kid, in your own home, I believe it is your place to say, hey, I got to give my kids some help. A lot of us as parents really don't want to admit that our kids went left or our kids need some help. We see the strange things. But now you're realizing that by not speaking up, by not even taking the initiative that you are doing more harm than good,

not only to your kid, but your kid could go out and kill somebody. The backlash comes on you. The backlash comes on the parent and you feel defeated as a parent. I know you do because whenever your kid does something that disappoints you, you feel defeated or you feel like you're disappointed because that's not what you want for your kid. I damn sure know you don't want your kid to go out and kill people. So if you see something, say something, you know, even if it's your own kid, it's not that they're going to put them in jail, but they could give them some help. You could save lives. Not a life, and not just your kid life, but so many innocent people lives.

Because when they go on a rampage, they go after anything, everything, and anybody. Old, young, black, white, it does not matter. They just, they see a moving target and they shoot. Some of these parents really are going to have to take accountability for the part that they play in things and do some stuff differently because it is getting out of hand with gun control. NRA generates a lot of money and they are strong on that Republican Party. That's why I'm saying if you are Republican, Trump and DeSantis, who just signed a bill that July 1st, Florida will be becoming like a law and order town. It is open carry with no license. People, I expect, I expect people in the state of Florida, if you look at me the wrong way,

that people will start just shooting each other because the governor of that state has given a pass to say, you can carry a gun, you don't need a license, and this is it. The world is turning back into the wild, wild west. I love Western movies, but I never wanted to live in the wild, wild west. It looks like we're reverting back to what we were. It's very, very scary. And it's a very scary time right now. I was listening to Donald Trump speak the other day, and then I listened to Marjorie Taylor Greene on something, and she was saying that when they call them white races or whatever the word may be, that's like using the equivalent of calling Black people the N-word. It's absolutely not the equivalent of calling the Black people the N-word, because back in the, since black people were here, the one before 1970,

because I got to go all the way up to the 70s, a lot of black men and black women, the last word they heard was the N word before they were hung from a tree. If we put Joe Biden back in office, if we get together and rally together as a democracy and vote for Joe Biden, which I really want to get Joe Biden back in office, if we get together and rally together as a democracy and vote for Joe Biden, which I really want to get Joe Biden back in office if the choices only are Joe Biden and

Donald Trump. I still want Joe Biden back in. But if we do, we will have to hold his feet to the fire as Black people to let him know that you have to sign the anti-lynching bill. You have to sign this anti-lynching bill because that's most important to black people. That is what's important to us. We have rallied with you. We have stood with you. We have voted for you. We have taken your foolishness when you signed the stand in Fritz Law.

And now it is time for you to make amends in your golden years to the Americans that voted for you because Joe Biden would not have become president without the strong African American vote behind him in 2020. He would not have become president without the strong African-American vote behind him in 2020. He would not have become the president of these United States. It was us. And I know people don't want us to say that, but it was us that rallied. It was us that went to the polls, even though we were in lieu of laws being changed. You can't give water. You can't do this. They are changing the laws left and right. But it was us that put Joe Biden in office. So now we need Joe Biden to be respectful and to give us back what we gave to him. We gave you the presidency. You give us democracy. We gave you the presidency. You give us democracy. Because that Don Ron ticket is the scariest

ticket I've ever seen in my life. I damn sure don't want to be a part of American in America if that goes down because, whoo, it's not one lunatic, but it's two. Two mad men running this country. Running it where? Running it where? And I fall, I check a lot of boxes. I'm African-American, black African-American.

I am transgender. I'm a single dad. You know, it's a lot about this. I'm African-American, Black, African-American. I am transgender. I'm a single dad. It's a lot. So no, absolutely not. And I will stand with Joe Biden because I don't want to lose Gavin Newsom. The only saving grace we would have for the democracy would probably be Governor Gavin Newsom from California, our governor. And I don't want to lose Gavin Newsom. We love him as a governor. He is wonderful. Look, he's had the reparation check. I'm trying to get one in both my names, the boy name and the girl name. So don't y'all be messing with my governor because we need him right here. I don't want him to be the president. I want you guys to take the time to pay attention to what is happening in America. And I want you to, I'm hoping you guys after the last episode of Laugh and Learn,

you remember what I told you that we just watched that movie play out with Neely and all the death that's happening. People are taking it upon themselves to pat themselves on the back and say that they're American and they're fighting for democracy, but they are killing innocent people and getting away with it or being charged with lesser crime because that is what the law is. That is who the law is. I don't stand with it or for it i think it is preponderance and i'm praying for our country i'm also praying for right ukraine because russia is back on the attack and things are just out of control we have to vote present not future not past you have to vote for people now because you see what these people are telling you that they're going to do donald trump said if he gets in office he was going to release michael flan

because he was a great man michael flan was the first one to take a fall for him during the first campaign it is the most preponderous time to be living in america and one of the scariest times but But as African-American and black people and brown people, we have to stand together. A fist has way more power than five fingers. Five fingers and a fist is the exact same things, but the difference is the impact of what five fingers will do and what a balled up fist will do. Ball up your fist, fight for democracy because we need Americans to stand up and stand with, or we're going to lose who we are as Americans. The dollar is already being shaken by the deficit because they're

talking about not raising the deficit ceiling. And they're laughing at our president. I watched the Republicans, McCarthy included, we should still be voting for this clown. We should be on vote 500. He should have never got appointed to the seat. I would never agree with that. It took 15 votes. I wish we was on vote 1500 or 15,000 because I would have liked them to never vote for him because I thought he was inadequate for the position. It is preponderance as a people that we must stand together, fight, push through, stop all this infighting, stop saying who did what and who hasn't done what for what people and whomever, because right now we have to be a unit that stands strong to make some subsequent changes for the American people. I am an American. I'm an American.

I don't care what I identify as. I don't care what color my skin is. I am born and bred and raised in America. I am an American citizen that votes, pays taxes, and takes care of my family. I love my country. I ain't going to fight for my country unless I'm fighting somebody. But I'm not going to go to war and fight for my country. But I still love my country. Plus, I'm too old to fight anyway. I'll run. I'm going to run. I ain't going to fight. DeSantis has just showed Florida what Florida means to them. He is choosing state over people. He just made Florida lose a billion-dollar contract with Dijon because they pulled the plug because he wanted to do what he wanted to do. It was going to be in excess of 2,000 jobs. The minimum was $120,000 per job. Do you know what that would have done for people who are out of work or who need a real decent job? But because he's stuck on this anti-gay and he runs Florida and you got to do it his way or it's not going to happen. That is a clear, clear, clear sign of what is coming.

There is warning before destruction. It's in the Bible. He is a warning of the destruction that he would bring if he was appointed to any office. I'm sorry, Florida, that y'all keep voting for him, but y'all do. But we damn sure don't need him to run these United States because he will run us somewhere straight into the ground. Ladies and gentlemen, the decisions that you make are your
