Hello everyone, wave, y'all say hello. We hope you guys are ready for the show today because it might be a Wayne Dang and the doodle. Wait, what a Wayne? That's my white people were a Wayne Dang doodle. That's interesting how they teach Hi,

Mark Uh, I'm i'm I'm I have a verbage? What is they say when you I'm a ordologist? I was gonna say you were multifaceted, but I got layers. I don't know about that multi fascet. I definitely got some layers. I wish a couple up would come up over. There's no one home today, so I have nobody interfering with my internet. So all kids are going, thank you Jesus. One is at work. My daughter, my baby daughter is

auditioning for track, trying out for track. And my son as a Tennessee State University because I took my son last week to Tennessee to Nashville. He is a in the Honest program at Tennessee State University for mechanical engineering. So I am very proud of that young man. But tell them the whole story though, because how long does he actually have to be in school because he already got his associates degree right yeah, so he only actually has to do two years because he graduated high school,

which is with his associates degree. That is just intelligence right there. Well that was because my I wouldn't let him transfer schools, you know, like you're gonna stay in the school, because he wanted to leave, but I knew what the school was offering. The curriculum, whooped his The sophomore year is probably the hardest year of high school, seriously, because I think that's the year that you do the

most work and that that sophomore year whooped him. Indeed, he was ready quit, but I'm like, you ain't going nowhere, so he stayed. It paid off because now he's in his junior years as a freshman in college. So praise the Lord, Thank you Jesus. Outside of that, honey, we are here. I am still taping the Breakfast Club this week,

but I am not taping it until Friday. So I'm leaving on Thursday because I got another job tomorrow and we were able to move some things around, and then I'm going to idis taping for HBO Max for her one hour, specially on Saturday in Brooklyn. But outside of that, we got topics you talk about. Hello, how was your week, Lord, because you've been traveling. I just got back from Atlanta yesterday afternoon around five o'clock. Um, so very busy. You know, work is, and you made it to work. Of course.

I wasn't going to get cussed out. That's just I didn't want them problems to this. So I'm here a little tired, but I'm here at the end of the day. You are here, so it's very appreciated. Well, thank you, thank you. How was yours? What you're a week? I got a sign in college. That was a week. I got some new realistic from Liquid Burns. Any real, y'all. It's bloody, very red, and it's very mad. It's very kiss me. Oh you know you should know you should

sing a kissable from the kissable commercial from Boomerang. And I'm talking about you. Never watched Boomerang's Boomerang the movie with Eddie Murphys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I bring nicking. I thought you was talking about one of those young channels. No, I have the kids shows. We haven't already gone over. I'm an old soul now. The only kids shows I love is The Incredible. I can watch The Incredibles every day all day long. I love Edna mod Hello, next man, Hello, Hello.

I'm sending your like everybody else. I guess kind of watching President Biden at the same time, and I guess uh. I can honestly report it seems as though he's doing very well, being very direct. He said I would always be direct with the American people, and that's what he's doing. He's breaking it down. Yeah, we don't get to buying. Buying is our last closing subject, because that's gonna be the most heated one. I'm sure. How are you? How is your week? Week was good? It's been a lot,

but but thinking things are good. I've been um, just working, you know, we've been trying to We now use a green screen and everything for work, which is what you see behind me, um, and so it's made it a little bit easier. But it's also increased our workload a bit because we can there's no reason to ever take a day off now. So they're like, uh, well, I've been working with this green screen that kind of travels and moves around. But but things are good, no complaints,

you know. Vacation in Mexico? How was Mexico? Mexico was good. It was a challenge, you know, because you have to test before you can come back into the United States. Uh, why make your test? You fully vaccinated? Why don't make you test? Because people who are fully vaccinated can still contract cope, because there are people who are not vaccinated running around. So what's happening is the unvaccinated are infecting or spreading the virus. So I would't agree with that.

I don't think that. I think that everybody's still spreading it. Vaccinated and no unvaccinated. I do, but I know what you're saying. But yeah, they like, I ain't spread because I spread you. So they they they and there were a couple of people who were stopped right there at the right there before they come bored, so they don't even let you passed, and they're like, hey, you need to you need to self quarantine for fourteen days or come back with the negative test. So wait a minute.

So if they were in Mexico and they tested negative a positive, what if they don't have enough money to stay for fourteen days, that's on you, dear, Like you would probably say, you're like, well, you should have thought about that before you with So yeah, but that's everywhere. It's not just Mexico. It's anyone trying to enter the United States, American or not. Yeah, well, thank you for joining us. Welcome to laughing my mom somewhere I'm telling I'm so excited about my son gonna call you. See,

I'm representing when my Tennessee stay. I can't wait to go to homecoming. Oh I think I'm gonna going with let me just show me my son will be like, nigga, you know what, just just don't just don't. I think I'm going in four drag to home Coming Baby, let me get it crunk baby. I will say that Lauren can attest to this homecoming out an HBCUs like unlike anything else, it really is a party. So and I'm going in October to my own home coome come coming

to Spellhouse. So, um, I will be on vacation those days. Nobody call me k Welcome to the show. Thank you guys for joining us. Let's just kick it off with let's start low, slow and build it up. So let's start with the Philippines that they have had a volcano erupt over there and it's not really getting a whole bunch of coverage on the news. I don't like that part, but I want to send special prayers out to that country and to my friend Manela lose On, who I

did that Netflix show with the Filipino girl. She's over there because she was doing some kind of RuPaul's drag race contests over there, so she stuck over there. So, um, oh my God, just bring us to the people over there in the Philippines. So much is happening in the world that we just have no control over, and it's just unforeseen. I don't know what I told you you'll and pissed God off, and God don't even get mad. But he I think he made his ship right now.

Real talk. No, I agree with you. There's so many natural disasters happening in the world. Um. I saw a report to that July was like recorded the hottest month ever in Earth's history. There's just so much, you know, like global warming and natural disasters and volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and it's just like, my God, when is it going to stop. The Earth is retaliating against us? Seriously, Lauren.

I have friends in California, of course, who who hike regularly, and they were just talking about how even up in Mount Shasta everything is so dry. They're like, Nick, California is really dry right now, and it's uh. I think it's a combination of both the fires and and just you know, the water resources. But we also wanted to send a prayer out to our brothers and sisters in Haiti. You know, we're gonna get to that. We're gonna get that. Okay,

don't come down. We're just we're doing it in sections. But like section eight is that section five but not. But to your point, though, California is actually experiencing a drought, and Gavin Newsome was trying to tell us to let cut your water supply by but we all don't know, but he's actually doing that. So we are experiencing a drought. I think it rained or it's sprinkled, I should say a little bit over the weekend. I wasn't here, but I saw my weather APPO said it was sprinkling a

little bit. But we're in a drought in California. May Or may not remember when Governor Brown was governor, he asked people to shower together when we were we've been in this drought before. He's like, hey, can you shower together? I like that. Governor Moonbeam is what his nickname was, Governor moon Yep. So yeah, it's not the first time in California. So you brought up Gavin Newsom, so I gotta talk about my boy. A lot of y'all upset with ever A knew some a lot of they're trying

to do this whole recall. Understand me that I voted for Gavin K. Newsom the first time. I will vote for Gavin Newsom again. I think that he is doing a good job as the governor. A lot better than them last couple of ones that we had, and God will come and take me personally if I vote for Larry Elder. Larry Elder is worse than Tim Scott to me when I tell you that he's a sellout nigga, like you wouldn't believe I said what I said because it's my show. He is a sellout nigga, and we

don't do sellout niggas on this show. Larry Elder is a clown and he has been a coon and a buffoon and a puppet for the Republican Party for a very long time. I am team Gavin Newsom because he is Nancy Pelosi's nephew. He's doing a good job, and y'all know Nancy Pelosi is my bitch. I love Nancy Pelosi.

I can't see that. I ain't got my glasses. Um No, but I agree with flam mil I will say, I don't from what I'm hearing in the political space, I don't think that, Um, Gavin Newsom is going to end up losing this recall ellection and he'll be just fine at the end of the day. Um. This is just like we've said. Another ploy by Republicans to kind of,

you know, cause some dissension. But at the end of the day, I think he'll be fine because I even saw Caitlyn Jenner made some comments and yeah, I went to the border and has made this pledge to continue President Trump's you know, building of the border wall. And anyway, the buffoonery continues. The newest contestant on survivor that one,

that's who I'm talking about. So get your money, Chris, get your money, you better, Pampa, all of them, oh, and saying that he was showering together with Lauren to save some money. Lauren, are you showing with me? I'm gonna tell your mama. Anyway, anyway, it is Yeah, and I hate that they are really holding Gavin new some feet to the fire because they ever said that he went to the French laundry and had lunch with no

masks in the middle of a pandemic. We have all done some things in the middle of the endemic that we were not supposed to do. He just happens to be a government official. Yeah, I'm gonna kind of shift.

It's in the same vein. But I did see something today that I found very interesting that it seems as though Trump's two main you know, no, no, not the boot liquers, but just the two main individuals that had the most turmoil with Trump are literally just getting so much backlash, whether it's you know Cuomo or in Newsom so it was I went down the rabbit hole. I'm not even gonna lie through this thread of people just kind of drawing comparisons and how they're saying that things

are kind of ironic. How these two individuals that had you know, so much that they really set up for what they believed in terms of their you know, their states, and they're getting so much backlash and being recalled and resigning. It's just it's it's interesting to see heat's all to Andrew Cuomo. I believe they went after his family. It was the reason he stepped down because he is a not He is a monster. So he is a beast, and he stands in here because of stands in his conviction.

And he did great work for the City of New York. And I hate that they made him because I believe they put him in a place where he had to step back because they they were going to do something that would have disrupted his family. Well, can I be honest I think what's gonna end up happening is he's going to file a civil suit against the State of New York. That's what I really think is gonna end up happening. So scary, scary, scary, scary, scary, scary, scary. Okay,

let's get on to the next subject. What we're going Haiti last? Next? Or what is it? Because you want to talk about Joe Biden last? Yeah, uh, hats off to all the Haitian uh, to the Haitian government, to the Haitian citizens over there. They had a massive seven point to um earthquake the other day. Was it yesterday? I did before yesterday, two days ago, two days ago? And and here's the thing, because he is like a third World country, right, it is, it is, it is.

Let me just let me just put this in a box. I'm not, I'm not. I'm pairing. But i am. Haiti had a seven point two earthquake two days ago. They are removing the rubble all as of yesterday, which was they started already. And they are third World country, then their country, don't do you have a bunch of money.

But Florida had a building collapsed. It took four days before they started removing I'm sorry, three and a half days before they started removing the rubble, and they don't have, not even closer the resources of money that Haiti has. I'm just saying, when you put somebody in charge in leadership and in government that knows what they're doing, things happen and move a little faster. Let's go back to the old space movies. Every time somebody came from out

of space. What was the first thing they said when they landed, Take me to your leader. I bet you ain't. Nobody gonna take them to the santis dumb ass, I said it. Okay, prayers to Haiti, y'all. Make sure y'all find out what the legit link is so we can all donate money to Haiti because they really are going to need it. They are finding bodies and an incredible now amounting numbers, but they are making progress by moving the rubble to find whever they can find. A La

Florida Police thing. No, well, I'll say I think a couple of things on Haiti. One. They've kind of been going through it, and I I don't even know at this point if it's about leadership in terms of them removing the rubble. Like Nick, I don't know if you've ever been to Haiti, but I went to Haiti two years ago. Um because our company or the a sl that I work for, we actually have services in Haiti, so I was able to travel there, and our clinic

is actually import to Prince. So the seven point to magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti was on I think them. The city is called Lakey if I'm not mistaken, and it's more of like a rural area versus ten years ago there was a seven point on magnitude earthquake that actually hit Poor to Prince um. So just from my experience of going and seeing the jail for instance that's

in Haiti. And I think we've kind of talked about this on the show before, is that you know, in two when the earthquake hit Poor to Prints, everything collapsed, including like this jail. So going there to two years ago and seeing how half of the jail is still currently collapse. It has not been rebuilt, but they went out and rounded up people who they thought were guilty and put all these folks in jail. Um very just.

It was horrible to watch and it was horrible to see all these arms and legs hanging out of jail sales. But what they're saying now is that the seven point two magnitude earthquake that hit Laky, it's better because it's in a rural area, so they're not expecting the same

large amount of deaths. But in terms of the leadership, to talk about your point, flame, their president was just assassinated a month ago, so I think it's more so about the community rallying to really remove this rubble, and it's not so much the leadership because from what I had seen just going there, they don't really have much that they can pull from at this point, especially with their president being assassinated. So oh, and they are hurricane watch.

They have a hurricane that's opposed to expect it to hit I think before, I think it's tomorrow or Wednesday. So yeah, Haiti has had a has had problems for years, and the infrastructure is extremely a poor like you said, uh, Lauren, so the buildings aren't built extremely well and anything like this only helps to further exacerbate the problem of infrastructure that they have there. But yes, um, I took one trip to Haiti. That is the place I never have

to go back. To again. Um, I put it kind of in the same vein is like Morocco, And there were just a couple of places I've been in my life that just made me immediately uncomfortable for a number of reasons. But Haiti, Dominican Republic, that entire region just did not speak to my spirit. But I totally understand and and and again. The people right now are just really dealing with a lot, and it's just it's just

it's heartbreaking. What what do you mean by that, Nick, Because I think I have an opposite view like I although it was very sad what I saw in Haiti because we went to Port to Prince and Haiti is interesting because they've I don't I'm not gonna blame one entity or another, but it's interesting to see how they've been able to confine the poverty. So if you go to Port of Prince, the poverty is very much, you know,

contained there. But if you go kind of outside to more of the touristy attractions, they have white sandy beaches and boats come in and dock there and everything. But I really got the essence of Haitian culture when I went to Port of Prince. So so what do you mean by that, like you didn't speak to your spirit

and you would never go back there. I'm not. I'm uncomfortable when I had people serving me, and I didn't like how those who were in the service area were dark like me, but the ones who worked in the hotel were lighter like flame. And so I was very aware of the disparity and it made me uncomfortable. Same thing with Dominican Republic and I just the extreme poverty is just is gut wrenching to me and I and so the idea of like vacationing and and going back

to places like that. I had a hard time too with the with the illness and the infrastructure around sanitation. Lauren, it was just it reminded me of how again we've talked about this, but how blessed we are here in the United States right um, how literally we were just

talking about jamacus and and school. There isn't a single African American who cannot go to college if they choose to because of the institutions of h b c U S. And it's hard when you go to places that don't have that same infrastructure, same support is just gut wrenching. So my trip to Haiti, my trip to Dominican Republican. Those are like the trips that I said to myself, Nicholas, you never have to do this again and counter your blessings every day because you are truly blessed. M hm.

That's interesting. Are we having a damn moment? I'm like, do you want to add anything? I'm just listening. I'm just taking a Yeah. I mean I've kind of I have the opposite feeling. I don't know why. I just I enjoyed Haiti. I mean, it was really sad to see, but I still wanted to go back, you know, I feel like there's something we can do, Like there's like I said, we have a clinic in the main jail that's their importer prince, and we offer you know, TV

testing and free HIV testing and everything. And while it was so sad, I just I enjoyed the culture. You know, it kind of spoke to me. But to your point, though, there's definitely a classism issue. But one of like one of them, she's an ambassador for Haiti. She actually works for HF, and I guess it was kind of the opposite for me, Like I saw her staff to your point they did, you know, kind of they resembled really my complexion in an instance, but um, I don't know it.

But I don't know it. Just I had I had an enjoyable experience while it was sad. It just influence of it's it's like the world is made. We do celebrate attractive people. I totally get that. I completely get that, don't I don't, you know, operate in a microcosmo. I'm not aware of that. I just think that when it's um, when I have a hard time, uh with the subservient,

if that makes sense, is definitely an issue. I don't know why, but it but that that just it just uh, it bothers me and I couldn't get past that to enjoy it. And everybody's like, oh, Nick, please, that's what they do. They love it. They don't love it. Well, I don't know that they don't love it, but I'm just yeah, so yeah, that's it was just hard for me. I must be out of the loop because I just don't I just don't pay attention to that. I just

don't pay attention and you don't have to. I think that when you're light and you've been given the privilege, you know. I think you take that on too much, though, Nicholas, honestly, because it don't matter. I'm transgender, I'm still a black person. I don't look at the light and dark. I just look at people, and I understand what you're saying. I just don't see the world like that. I see I see the big the big world, not the and I understand exactly what you're saying that you see darker people

working here. It goes back to the whole the darker he's worked in the field and the light people worked in the house. But we've passed that baby that we got dark people doing everything we got light. It's still a racist world. It don't matter. But we got to remove the racism about the African American community in order for them to remove the race racism from them. If we keep talking about oh, I'm getting the job because I'm light skinning, I'm getting the job. I might be

light skin and not qualified. I might be light skinned and not skilled. I could be dark and unattractive, but have all the skills that I need to get this job. I think the world has grown past all of that. I think that some of us still hold those feelings about oh, he's attractive or she's attractive, so she should get the job. I'm better than you. I don't give a funking you prettier than me. I'm better than you. So I hear it, but I I just don't agree

with it, because I think we've we passed that. I think we we have to get past that for real in order for the rest of the racism of the rest of the world to get past that. M hm no, yeah, but I think overall too though, um. Going to Haiti was definitely a learning experience for me too, because everything is like backwards in that country. You know, like if you live on the beach in Haiti, you're considered the

poorest of the poor. You know, here in the United States, beach from property is million dollars, right, And then you know, the further up that you live in Haiti, like you know, above the ground level. That's how that kind of shows where you are in terms of the class system of how rich or poor you are. So a lot of things are very backwards in Haiti. So it was a very i don't say backwards backwards in terms of what our societal standards are. So it was it was a

learning experience for me too. But I will just say I hope that the death toll is not as high as it was in Um. We're doing some relief efforts on the HF front too. We're sending some supplies to Haiti before the tropical storm hits. So can we donate to HF. That's happening now? Um is there like a separate relief the h is doing to help Haiti? Because you know that all the scam modist is about to go crazy. They've been to come up with all kinds

of fake help Haiti, Help Haiti. If I don't know, you ain't hate, you ain't getting none of Mama, I have to look into it. I know that they're like buying groceries and stuff and burloading literally going to load up a plane and send it in before the tropical storm hits. So I'll let you back else. Soccer too has like a link to hers because I know that she's donating from this particular tournament. So I do know that there are reputable organizations that are providing relief efforts. Yeah,

for sure. So prayers and I'm prayers to hayd He, prayers to all the citizens the shady prayers to the babies and the women who are displaced from their husbands and the husbands at this place and their wives. Oh my god, it is it's it's terrible. I'm telling you all right now. I told you we needed all day on our face at one time, the entire world and apologize to guy. Uh last time he flooded. This time's gonna bring the sun real close and all I ask

gonna be looking like raisins. I'm telling you he tired of the bullshit, bullshit, he tired of ship. Okay, we're gonna bring some flame messing and so we can get some opinions and some comments before we go to Joe Biden, because that's gonna be the conversation to have today. Uh yeah, who were bringing in? Just grab Cassie Hay's casting. I'll bring in Mark too. We gotta bring it. We wait, we're bringing in Megan McCain. She ain't got no job right now on TV, so we bring it on here.

Hi man, I mean hi, Mark, what what what did you say? I said? We're bringing in Megan McCain. She ain't got no job on TV right now, but she working on something these books. Let me tell you that she's doing a lot of producing and stuff. She produced something she better produce a diet. Okay, Hi, Mark, Hello Cassie. What were you saying, Cassie, I'm sorry, no, no, no, I was gonna say, I agree. I agree on both sides, but what I mean it's not about but I agree

with you, sweetie, both sides of the point. But I think that we do focus too much on it. It's like we put you if we continue to be the change we want to see, and we just start loving on people and we start encouraging people and stop because it's in our families, It's in us. It's like it's rooted in us, this colorism and this uh well you're as I grew up too dark for white people, into light for black people, being a mixed kit, and so just I think we focus too much on it. It's there,

but we don't have to keep giving it attention. That's my opinion. Yeah, I will say I don't know if Nick's point was so I'll speaking not from a colorism standpoint, but as we all know, like there are certain privileges that I'm exposed to, or certain circles that I run with and things that make me feel uncomfortable, and it actually really like messages up my headspace, you know, rather it's flying private and having uh you know, butler's following

around the hotels or security detail. For whatever reason, it does mess with your head a little bit because you're like, there are people starting right, but at the end of the day, that's a circle that I'm in and I have to respect there's people's choice to run the way that they do, right, you know what I'm saying. So I would be uncomfortable too if I was in Haiti or the d R and I have people serving me

that way. That way. I've never experienced that there, but it does sort of make you uncomfortable and put you in a weird place when you put life into perspective. I don't know if thats why are you uncomfortable? Because they're working, they're doing their job. They didn't because they are doing their job. They were hired to do a job. They're doing a job. They weren't hired to do your way be the waiter because they were dark. They're hired

because they were doing their job. So exactly, I'm like, Cassie, why are you uncomfortable? I think it's because like some things to me seem too extra or lavish or unnecessary, if that makes sense. And so it's just like it's it's for a country. They are grateful to be working. They're not thinking about that I'm dark skinning. They've been thinking about there might be insecurities that people like Nick

or me have, you know, we might have insecurities or own. Yeah, but if you're light skin even though you're not white, so I can understand your what your your circle because you run with a bunch of doctors that are Caucasian. But with Nick, it's always it's color. The color Barrea thing has been a long time thing with Nick, even with size. Nick has an issue sometimes even with size.

So you know, you just when you find I think what I say on Love Lounge, and when I say this all the time, when you look in the mirror and you like what's looking back at you, you really really pushed to the side everything else that's going on because you are so comfortable being you that you make other people comfortable around you being themselves because you are comfortable with you. I'm not gonna change me how I

look and who I am for no one. If you are not comfortable with me and then and the words of the great Nikki Giovanni, I have never worked the room where the door is locked, leave or just remove yourself. I mean, I think for me, I didn't really see a colorism issue in Haiti, and like also too, I think because I went to border Prince and I didn't go to like a sandy beachy area towards the attraction I should say city. In Haiti, you know, you learn

about a lot about what's going on. Even you know, a lot of Haitians actually get work visas to like go work in the Dominican Republic of the day and then they come back at the end of the day. So I mean, we can talk about this colorism issue.

I didn't, I didn't necessarily see it. And considering all of the issues, I think that you know, even between Haiti and the Dominican Republic have had you know, people like to say talk about, you know, color within the Dominican community and say that they're mainly light, which I don't agree with at all. But there's a lot of cross pollination between hues and everything else between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. So I guess I kind of missed

the colorism bit. There isn't that a form of racism with with within us? Because here's the thing, they hate asking because our ski and is a huge a different shades of black. So we're gonna hate on each other because we are different shades of black. It happens in the Latino community too, they have light skin and Latino it happens that. So we're not going to get past colorism outside about outside of our communities, and we can't get rid of get through it in our own communities.

I'm not gonna hate on you because you light skiing, or because you're dark skin, or because you're pretty. To me, I'm gonna not like your ass because I don't like your ans, because you can get bad you or you've got a bad attitude, or I just don't like you. That's it. Yeah, I'm I'm not going to sit up here and say that that colorism is not an issue like we can I think we can all agree that colorism has definitely historically been an issue, might not be as as much of an issue as might make it.

I think it's what you're trying to say that next. Yeah, I think we've probably evolved a lot since there, there's still definitely an issue. But I just think sometimes to your point, Flame is that colorism is kind of inserted in spaces where it does doesn't necessarily need to be. Is what I would say is kind of I feel like with what you're speaking to, Yeah, I feel like it's just rooted in everything just because of we're not

talking about it, but because of slavery. I mean, I have darker My kids are all different shades of brown, and certain different ones of them get treated differently in their in their perspective families because of the different shades of brown. So colorism is everywhere and we just have to gut it out and we can have to see

people for who they are. And like Clay you were talking about, people need to be comfortable with who A lot a lot of people have made it to the point where they are comfortable in their skin, and so that's why, like Mark said, ore on insecurity. So we just got to get to a place where we're comfortable so we can make others comfortable and vice versa. I wish somebody would treat one of my kids differently because one is lighter and one is darker. You're gonna get

my whole attitude, black, white, and in different. I'm gonna light your hands. Let me tell you something. People treat you the way they see you treat yourself, and that's that is the truth for me. I'm till I have been in situations where I knew people were not comfortable because I was transgender, I was dressed up as a woman. I don't give a funk how you feel. Understand me. If I was hired to do a job, I'm going to do my job. I'm going to show up to work.

I'm going to come to work on time, and I'm going to do my job. Yes, I'm gonna talk ship, But if I was paid for a service, I'm gonna give you what you paid me for. If I'm working on I'm in a different arena and I'm there because who I am and you invited me to be there, I'm going to be comfortable with me. If you are uncomfortable with what I present, that has absolutely nothing to do with me. That's some ship that you're harboring. I

can't fix you. You You ain't fixed you. Sometimes we look in the mirror and the mirror turned away from us because you ain't sure what you're looking at so the mirror like I don't know what what I'm supposed to show. You don't even know who you are. It's so many people that are lost, and so I lost in this world of I'm trying to fit in. I need to look like what the next person looks like. I need to be with it. I will never be the square

pig in the round hole. I'm too thick in the ask to be ever fit in the round hole anyway. But I will never be that person. And I'm proud that I could never color in the lines. I'm proud that I knew who I was at such a young age and my mind, my mind always allowed me to be comfortable with being who I am, which is what we push over here on Laugh and Learn. We just want you to be comfortable with the best you, because you can't be Mark, Mark, you can't be Casting, I

can't be Lauren. Lauren can't be me. She don't want you to know what I get terrible gas um. But what I'm saying is that we encourage you to look in the mirror and see what looks back at you. You have to allow yourself to like you in order to go further in life, because if you don't like you,

you're not going to like anyone. If I'm sounding and preachy, I don't mean to, but I'm just telling you I'm sick of people being smoke screen and living in a false truth or in a false narrative because of what society thinks. Is this and that? What makes you happy? That's a question, you know, don't answer it because some of you I don't know the answer to. It's kind of like the Black Agenda. You keep asking the same question, but you don't know the got their answer to it.

What makes you happy? I don't think it's preaching. I think it's good. But someone made a comment that I think is really I get the point. But like, just because you've used someone as an attracted like I think we're all attracted people on here right now, but doesn't mean that we don't. I've seen somebody claims, don't do that. I said, I said, those that are, well, this is laugh and learned. So thank you. I'm bringing back we are. Just because someone's attractive or they may go through life

with an advantage, doesn't mean we don't have insecurities. And my insecurities may not do the things that I discussed may not be from a look standpoint, but maybe guilt. Right, I'm not have insecurities with some guilt knowing that you know, I have these privileges and I live a certain lifestyle.

I'm I'm in certain circles knowing that personally, like there are people again starting there are people I wish I could go to Haiti and help, but I just don't have that in my and in my capabilities right now. So it's just that's what I mean. So everyone can have insecurity. Someone's looks doesn't negate the fact some of the most attractive people are the most insecure people and

dumb as a box of can we start there? I don't like yeah, but I do think Someone also said something about why it happens in the d R and I hate when it comes to natural, uh natural don't read the comments mark because then you can start comment on we all want to get off topic. Don't read topic. I think that when it comes to Dominican Republic, I think it's compared to Haiti. Obviously, Haiti is a lot more of a poor company and the infrastructure is differently

so it doesn't hold up. And natural disasters as well as surrounding areas, So it's not necessarily like it's some conspiracy why Haiti has more natural disasters or they're more severe. I wouldn't agree that Haiti has more natural disasters necessarily. I wouldn't totally agree with that. And honestly, I think at the end of the day, I think, well, let's just call it spade to spade. The Dominican Republic, yes, it's still a poor country. It's not as poor as

Haiti is. It's just not It's not they have more infrastructure, they have more of an economy that's built. You know, people in Haiti still literally burned piles of trash because they have no formal like you know, the sanitation system. So it's just a matter of they just aren't as economically built as a country as the Dominican Republic is. That that's the online. That's what it is. Cassie and Mark,

thank you someone Mark has has everything over there in Florida. Y'all, y'all what they're doing, What y'all got going on over there? Is this supposed to come towards you guys at all? Or what I say? It sort of looked around. Now it's gonna go towards the panel. So I'm good. We just have really shitty whether the past couple of days. I mean in regards to what's going on here. Obviously you know, Ron, this is fighting everybody when it comes to maskmdates and stuff of that sort. Let me ask

you a question. Is sure that four teachers supposedly that from COVID from the kids coming back to school? I think I saw that on the report somewhere, but I was, I was it was after Love Lounge, and I was I was with God that I would Yeah, I was with God, but so I don't know y'all, y'all will come to Love Lounge. Y'all know what being with God means. So I heard that, but I was like, really, so this is really should bite the santis in the ask because he was the one who relaxed the max mandate.

And if four teachers that and see if y'all keep negating that these teachers are people, they have families, they have to children, they have lives, and then you bring it is ridiculous. It was in Brower County. That's ridiculous that that Bron. Understand y'all beating up Trump? No, I mean ship ship slap, slap myself, y'all beating up bite and you know, Yester santis is, And I guess I'm really confused because from like even you, so we were talking about this last week claim you said that you

can't tell a child what to do. So when it comes to the whole mask mandates in school, children are gonna wear them or they're not. No, no, no, I did not say that children respect authority if it's given to them correctly, especially when it starts at home. Children are we are taught to respect police officers, white coats with doctors, black coats with judges and blue badges. We are taught and we respect the teachers. Now you get

to teach that to your kid at home. Now, it's not guaranteed that they're gonna completely do what you taught them at home, but at least they will have a basis for it and in the grounding of it when they go to school. Uh. Children will do what they're told to do if you talk to them respectfully, because

they are children, but they still are people. You have to talk to kids like you've got some god damn sense, because if they're hearing it at home crazy, then they're gonna bring it to you, and if you're talking to him crazy, they'll never learn. The teacher's job is way more. Sometimes it's just teaching you what's in that text book. Some of these teachers jobs take on being the parent

for the That was my fault. I misunderstand because I know most parents have an issue which I don't understand why they have an issue with their children wear the masking schools. But like Alison actually brought up the next point I was gonna make with the scantist, he did put in that. You know, he said that he was gonna strict funding from any school district that mandated masks. So what they are doing now, including my district here in Tampa and Hillsborough County, is they are mandating masks

but giving an opt out auption. However, the opt out aution only goes to a effect effect when the parents actually fills out that form and says no, I don't want my child to have to wear a mask. So that the standard is everyone mask up unless your parents feels out a form. So the parents really have to go out of their way and the schools still get their funding. So that's what the superintendent. When when is the Santis is run over, when is his time? Time? Oh, Florida,

y'all better come together. But in that space, though, I think the Santis is almost expected to I don't want to say expected to lose, but maybe not be re elected so that way he can run. In happening, it will be the GOP's nominee for president. I don't see why it's so hard. Mask on mask where don't wear? It comes from home? These people are making it such

a big again. You have to remember flour it's very red right now, especially with the Hispanic population, and these people at home are making it like, oh, if they tell you to wear a mask, they're coming for your rights, this, this, that, And these children believe the ship that their parents say. And it's like, it's really not that serious. Do I want to wear a mask at the time? No, I'm not comfortable, right, But it's it's a it's an inconvenience.

It's not the government trying to take over my life. And next is gonna be putting a trip in my arm. You know that's that's not the case. I'd rather be inconvenient than dead, So let me just be inconvenience right now, wearing a mask and get on my nerves. But I don't want to be dead. I'm trying to live as long as the Lord being. Life is choices, and life is a trade off. You you make a choice, especially when you're growing. You make a conscious choice and a

conscious decision. And there are rules to follow, even and I hate to follow rules, but even I follow the rules I do. I follow the rules because not only am I looking out for myself, but my children and people around me. And to negate to push away all of that because flame, you ain't took the shot. You ain't took this. You ain't too that I spray everybody in my presence with vaccine. My people who come around me are so trained. I don't even have to spray them.

They walk in my house and they spray themselves. My people too. With this point that I'm gonna make, and I hope to make it on hear, Remember the vaccine is not approved by the FDA yet. It's a prefer Emergency Youth Authorization. So before you judge people and want to ridicule and talk about people, just remember this. People have the right to make the decision what's best for them, and the reason it's not approved by the FDA is because it has to go through certain case studies and

we're not there. So just don't judge people their own decision. And again remember the FDA has not approved this yet. That's all I'm saying. I'm gonna judge people if they don't wear a mask, though, I will be judging you there. That's because whatever you want. A plane with the man and he going crazy and he don't got his mask on, I'm gonna pull out my good duck tape. I would

have taken that niked to that sea for about phone. Listen, let me the plane that I was on yesterday, there was a woman sitting next to me that didn't have a mask on. When I tell you, I counted down from ten before I pushed that flight of tenant button to say, excuse me, miss thing doesn't have her mask on? Absolutely right now. With commercial flights, aren't they you have to, like, even to drink or eat, you have to pull your masks on and then put it right back up. When

I just got off the flight yesterday, very situation. Did you did you pre did you pre check? Did you pre board like I do? Your lightest wipes and your spray and you spray may on delta. They give you sanitizing wipe down, and then I have before you know, I need to be first personal. Let me tell you something. I'm gonna get in trouble, y'all. Let me tell y'all something. I'm at the airport. I will pull a wheelchair training scam in a minute. I'm sorry, I'm transer. I just

had a minor surgery. They put you on pre board. I get onto my seats, I wipe it down. I spray down the seats. I wipe everything down. Y'all see me a laugh doing it with y'all. Baby, understand that no other area might not be protected, but those three seats that I'm sitting there, Baby, I was soaking wet. We have to wait for him the draft. I definitely I used that can of many light sauce spray and I sprayed out my seat and then I have the little wife that they gave me, and I wiped down.

Desperate times calls for desperate manasures. I'm a desperate beach. I love you, thank you, thank you, Mark? Or bring on jan and um and um oh? Should I forget Jana new I forgot Let's get you want to get Allison. Yeah, because Allison is in Florida. And then we're gonna bring on my ten dollar PM Bobby Clifford. Okay, let me grab T T Jan the real T T Jann Well, who is the fake one? Hey? Allison? Hi? How are you all? Allison so Jane? Wait a minute, Allison, So

that was Broward County. Four of them died within twenty four hours. Yes, four of them died within twenty four hours. And now you have I know you have like over a hundred students who are out with covid um already, and number ask the question. And I'm not a ricket scientist. I didn't even go to college. And it may sound stupid, but I'm going to ask the question anyway, why is it safe? Because this all make no sense to me.

Why is it safe to give a pregnant woman the vaccine but it's not safe to give a four or five or six year old child the vaccine. I'm asking half about that a question. Seriously, you're answering. It's just I want you to think about that, because they are giving to the pregnant women, but they don't want to give it to the kids. But they want to send them back to school because the kids don't get to make their own choice. It's pregnant women do get something

with their own choice. Man, when I tell you, if y'all don't see the ship that's happening in your ask because ain't shipped wrong with me. I just look like this. Ain't shipped wrong with me. I just look like this. I ain't gonna look like this when the show is over. I don't take this wig off. I think that's a valid point though, that you made. It is you know what I mean. It's like, Okay, I'm seeing that they're pushing, pushing, pushing for pregnant women to take the vaccine, but the

kids are getting sick in school. And as you are a teacher, how did that make you feel? Do you feel safe with these kids coming back to school and you're a teacher. Um, I mean, at the end of the day, it is what it is at this point, right, Um. And I you have to realize I teach low income students and so I talked during the pandemic and a lot of those kids did not learn over the computer. Um. Yes, it is very much so a health of risk. And do I believe in putting children at risk. No, I do, on,

but I also am very soft hearted to my students learning. Um. Right now, I'm dealing with students with a huge learning gap, so specifically in my school. Uh do I like that they're back? No, I do not. Um. The majority of my students wear their masks all a matter of fact, all of them wear their masks, and we lights all down. I can only speak for my class, and again I'm laugh for them being back because my my babies get to learn. A teacher. We don't retly black and brown students.

And as we all know on this live not only were they at a disadvantage because of the uh the broadband issue that goes on in the black community, the black and brown communities, you don't get that internet connectivity so connecting the glass, but also a lot of our students are hands on the earners. They they can't really earn anything. Teacher just talking to them about my attention, spaying like that, I don't want to sit and look on the internet all damn day, and I'm feeling I'm mom. Look,

I'm almost fifty. I don't say I got didn't word, and you bet not say ship I got pinched too, I got but Alison, I do want to say I'm a little shocked that this happened in Brower County because Broward, for the most part, is a rather blue area, you know, in terms of for the most part. Right, um, you have to think about Florida, and the Florida is red state. You have your you have your you have your Trump lookings as they're called. Everywhere. You have those people who

do not want their children to wear masks. I think that's particularly speaking for Polk County. I mean that is the my county is the Trump looking county, you know. And you have people out there who do not want to wear masks, who do not want to take the vaccine, who do not want to wash inns, who do not want to stay out of people's faces, and so form one from one to the next. Oh, I want to shake your hand, I want to touch your face, you know. So that's everywhere long, and you know it. All it

takes is what people don't understand. It takes one household, one household, and they just go and spread it all over. So that's what you're faced up against. A different barrier. Now, yeah, you know, well, when we got you all on here. Let's go to Biden because our time is that once up and I gotta go to the airport to pick up my sister. Um, let's go to Joe Biden. They're putting all this responsibility on Joe and Lauren and I discussed this right before the show. We got into it

a little bit. We're on office side. We had a little different We had a little discriuntle because she's right here next to me, because I could have slapped the ship out of it, but you know, her mamma's watch. But I know they're putting all the weight to the world on Joe Biden because of this. But this happened long before Joe Biden got an office. This happened back

in the Reagan and damn Bush era. And the reason that this Taliban has so many weapons of mass destruction is because of the damn arms deals that they did. They sold all of these damn mass weapons of mass destruction to kill people, took them to make money. Not Ronald Reagan was part of that, and this was before the mention hit him, so he knew what he was doing when he sold him. He just forget that he

did it when he was standing for the die. So let me just say that I don't know what's gonna happen to me in life, because y'all gonna be mad, because y'all know, y'all love to praise Ronald Reagan as this great, great, great, great great president, but Ronald Reagan was also had his hand with the whole a z T in the AIDS pandemic and epidemic. Dr Fauci was included in that back in the day. So I'm not

gonna take this. Yes, Joe Biden may have moved to fast, Joe Biden may have made a mistake with pulling the troops out. I'm not sure, but after twenty plus years of them being over there, that's not our fight to fight right now to me, and I'm not I'm not saying that I don't hold empathy on sympathy for the Afghanistan people over there with the Taliman just taken over. But god damn, we got a lot of ship going on in America right now that we have not fixed.

I'm not gonna ship where I eat, but you'll have the area right here in America right now. And y'all refused to eat in this country because y'all don't shoot it all over. And I'm not talking to us, I'm talking to the politicians, right, So I just don't see it being like it to me is bigger than a household, you know what I mean? Like I can't say, no, we're not getting ready to get a flat screen with TV because you know, we got to get our car pix.

It's larger than that. Well point to what would you telling? Well, this is this is my thing, And I agree in terms of where this started and where the you know, the first domino fell, we'll say it in that instance, So anything that fell after that is kind of just

you know, backlash, if you call it. But my issue here, and from what I have seen and some of the deep dive that I've done and I still need to do more, my issue with Joe Biden is that you took a deal or parameters, whatever you want to call it, that was set in place by somebody who was stupid,

which was Donald Trump. Who was Donald Trump. You took his plan and still chose to implement it knowing that there was a possibility of some of these casualties that were now seeing That's my issue where I think the responsibility does fall on Joe Biden because I wouldn't take any plans that Trump had in place and still think that they should be implemented without you doing doing some further reviewer, honestly just scrapping it from the beginning, because

I would always think that there will be some you know, loophole or something because he just he wasn't intelligent. So that that's my issue. And when I'm seeing you know, analysts come on and say, Joe Biden was advised that worst case scenario, this is what could have possibly happened, and now we're seeing the worst case scenario play out. So that's where I'm putting the onus on Biden is that I think he did make a mistake and implementing

this plan. I think he should have started from scratch and devised and airtight plan that would ensure the safety of the US troops and of the people of Afghanistan. That's where I'm coming issue. They were gonna be pardon me, repercussions no matter what exactly. We had been there and we were the reason for the order there, so no matter how we tried to pull out, it was going to be ugly. And what does wars what does wars bring. Wars bring money, Wars bring mores bring for companies that

create the stuff that they need. It brings money for those corporations, and it brings a lot of casualties. It brings tons and tons of casualties. Right, And we also have to understand, ladies and gentlemen, before we went into Afghanistan, right, the Americans, we didn't make we didn't make good on our premises. So if we go back to Kuwait, right, if we take this just a step to step, just go just a step back further, and let's just go even further. There was a time that the U. S. Army,

what was the strongest military in the entire world. But as the years has progressed, it has you know, it's power has decreased. But let's just take a step back for a second. Russia went to war for us. Excuse me, I rat went to war for us, right, because at the end of the day, we couldn't take on Russia. At the time, we made a promise to rebuild these countries. See, America has a lot of promises with people that we still have not made good on. Right. Iraq is one

of them. Afghanistan is one we have not made good on. So now here we are right in this situation. The Taliban has taken over and we have killed their main their want, their main leader, the O g I call of O g U been lodden, you know, And so now it's it's it's almost repaying of debt. And I understand what you're saying, Lauren about you know, he should have scrapped Trump's plant. But at the end of the day, we look at this plan, we don't know the promises

that it was made to these folks. You follow what I'm saying, But that's money. That's my point though, right there, is that you don't know the parameters and I'm not. And when I say Trump, I mean the Trump administration because we know Trump is stupid and that you know he obviously let's always were, So when I say Trump, I mean the Trump administration, the whole, the whole, to

be clear. But but that's but that's to my point though, is because I and this is my opinion, we can agree to disagree, but I feel like because we don't know what promises were made under the Trump presidency, that's why I don't think it was in our best interest to use anything that they crafted, because that's to my point, there was gonna be some loophole or some hole in the sinking ship of getting this through because we already knew there was no right way to do this. We

knew that there was going to be casualties. I'm just thinking that there was possibly a way that we could have reduced some of it in some form. And that's just also too based on what an analysts are saying, that there was a way to reduce some of the casualties that we're seeing in in Afghanistan. Baby, when I tell you that the Taliban was waiting on it too,

because they moved fast. And you know what, there's so much intertwined that you you really you will never know the deals that have been made, and so this is like huge, but we don't know how huge, you know, keeping partners from countries from joining up, how huge it would have been if we did it a different kind of way, because we do know constantly made unethical deals and and it does frighten me. Some countries are more triggered happy. We might have the largest military, but by

questionable we are not the most powerful anymore. Let me tell you them. Korean has been trained since they came out the wound, baby, And when I tell you, they are trained and coming to make him join young young, young Rice man if you want to, because those Koreans over there, and when I tell you they are in there, it's ingrained in their DNA that we are going to do anything that this man tells us to do, including become uh poltical damage or throw your sacrifice your life.

They don't care. I'm telling and the Iraqui what is the what is the a Muslim thing? If you kill yourself, if you sacrifice, you go to heaven and you get or you go to well Aline and you get twenty seven versions of forty virgin I don't want one. I can't get rid of a Biti's stalking me, now, are you damned? You know? I want baby. I got a girl can blowing my phone up if she don't stop toming me. Anyway, I ain't trying to get our topic. Lord know I'm not talking about baby. I'm talking about this.

Oh I got a stalker in my inbox. Oh my gosh, that crazy. Yeah, I said that gave it to. I gave it to like four years ago. My god. Anyway to learn a bit. Yeah, yes, but there you know, hand to hand combat is a thing of the past. Those are the front lines. That's the reason you better think before you let your kids go off to join the armed services. Those that's collateral damage, um, internet chemical. What we're seeing now with the covid rs. That that's

what's in play right now. That's what's in play right now. There's no type of principle when you're talking about money, and money comes from war. And we do know that Trump was constantly making dirty deals. We do know that, and we don't know how, but we know that they're out there. Yeah, it is. It is a place that we are in right now that it's so scary, ladies and gentlemen. And I'm telling you, I understand sympathies to the people in Afghanis. I'm gonna tell you who I

really feel bad for in Afghanistan. First of all all the people over there, but the women will be discussed the rules that they have implemented on the him and the women were making such progress and such stride, becoming teachers and going being able to work and go to school and to better His family is better themselves. Baby. When I tell you that that Taliban is going to reach back and pull them, take them back two hundred

years back into all of those foolishness. I feel so And young girls being getting married at eleven twelve years old. I could not imagine somebody marrying one of my baby daughters at their It is about to be very, very scary. And I don't want them to hold Joe Biden to speak to the fire for that, because he walked into a room full of ship to shovel that he has. He hasn't even scratched the surface for all that was thrust upon him. It is bad. Now did he make

the right call or the wrong call? I don't know because I'm not in that deep in government, And just like you said, it's a lot of behind the scenes deals that we will never know about. But what we do see, and what is very clear to us is you're not gonna blame me for something that Lauren did. If Lauren did something, Lauren needs to take the responsibility on the part that she did. And if this would have went wrong, no matter who did it, it was

going to go a different way. It doesn't matter whether he was the president or Trump was a president. If this same decision would have been came from someone else. It was going to happen. Just the Taliban apparently were waiting for their opportunity because they moved in a day. They moved in a day, knocking on your door and telling you to get the funk out your house. Everything you hit along with me, you get out. That is that's crazy. And I think to what we've said to is,

this is my opinion as of now. I still need to do some research because this is still you know, it's still a new topic, so very well may change, you know, as we discussed this, you know, in later weeks. But as of now, these are my sentiments. But I do wholeheartedly I want to say that I agree with you flame that this issue did not start with Joe Biden. So the onus of you know, the troop with draw from Afghanistan, I don't think the owners should fully fall

on him. It should fall on the first domino that felt, which was Ronald Reagan and then Bush and his son is his name, Oliver, Oliver North and he was a two face, a trick. He was a trick. He told on everybody. Yeah, so the onus of this issue definitely falls on them. But as of now, that's just the only issue that I'm taking up with Biden. Is just the plan. But it would have been bad either way, ladies, and we will be definitely doing Love Lounge tonight. Thank you, Jane.
