with just a lifted spirit. But you want to revisit tell your first take a listen, gentle folks say it slip, Oh folks that we take it. Hain't no this do what you don't? No, do what you do? Can't no kids do what I do? Wela Hey, Hey, welcome to Laugh and Learn. I am your hosts play my role with my beautiful co host. What's your name, Lauren Hogan? Okay, I could remember. We're here for another week's episode of Laughing Learned Nation. Gentlemen, We're glad that you guys joined us.

Play Man. Please download us on the Black Affect Network or Apple, Spotify, Amazon, wherever you This is your podcast because this is an audio component. This is how I gets that money. Back and we get paid and we appreciate it. We so appreciate it. This this week in the news, this weekend, the news, Oh, this weekend. Let me to the scandal. First, Ninie Leaks dropped against a Bravo. I wonder, I wonder did they come to an agreement.

I saw that she dropped her lawsuit against them. It makes me wonder did they come to an agreement or because I'm sure they got quite expensive for her? Mm hmm, well, Andy Collen and Bravo. That's a lot of money, so child, I don't know. And in addition to that, today, on a lighter note, and it's kind of interesting, I think it's a little significant. Vanessa Briant was officially awarded sixteen

million dollars from the county. But I'm taking photos of her husband and son, I mean her husband and daughter Gigi at the helicopter frash Tite. So weird. Good. I'm happy for her, and I'm happy she had the money to fight that, because I know they cost a lot of money to fight that. But she got awarded sixty million dollars for Kobe and Gig And on top of that, it's weird because today is August and you know those are their numbers, is like eight and two. So it's

very significant. I think that, you know, I believe in you know, astrology and the universe and things like that, so I think it's significant that she got awarded this money on such on a day that you know has so many numbers that she holds near and dear in her heart. So congratulations for her, because that's so dramatic, Like, please just respect the fact that I just lost somebody and you took quotes with there, and I had as

much hurt and it was still her husband. I'm not gonna say I don't mean it like that, So let me see it correctly, because y'all know y'all take you around with it. But I think that the fact that it was her daughter, I think that was what really get up on the husky. And I'm it was about

Kobe too, but more so than her baby. Why would y'all take pictures of his baby and show that that that was just I think that's what really was the ice on the cake for me, Like because you know, they they got a picture of Michael Jackson's supposed but anybody's seen him when he was there. But he a grown man. It's different when it's a baby. That girl was what he lefted twelve years old. Yeah, that's still a baby. So I said that she got the money just for that, and I'm hoping it helped her fast

some closure with this. The county, the people who work for the county, who show up at these crime scenes and these accidents, they're gonna get their ship together because they do on this damn money. It was l a county and also l a county fire department to my dad. My dad worked for the city people. Can you give me a favor if ever we get an email and they want me to come and do a part on

The Simpsons. It's an humatic note. Let me tell you something, whatever happened on the Simpsons your life, I do not want to ever be girl. I think it's so crazy how the Simpsons has like just predicted every like you know, tragic or sad event that's gonna happen. They predicted Trump is gonna become president. They said Kobe was gonna die in a helicopter crash. The Simpsons, I don't know who their riders are, but m they might be the brief Faiths from hercules or something. I don't know, Trump in

a coffin that ain't happened as of yet. I'm not wishing that only Poe Man. But no, they haven't. They haven't. But they also had an episode where they predicted monkey pocks. Did they really becau See, I'm kind of like an Avid Simpson fan. I didn't really watch all the episode, so I don't know all of the things that they predicted. So they predicted monkey fox too, Huh. The only thing

they can predict for me become a billionaire. But I don't want no tragic she because whatever they say, tragic baby. Let me tell you something. They just said I went down the plane crash, I'd be a bus catching beach. Let me just put it out there. I think a bust from me here in New York. That's so crazy. But yeah, I'm just happy for Vanessa. Brian. I don't think. I don't think, you know, money necessarily brings closure to you, because there's you know, what can really console you at

that point in time. But um, I'm glad that she got a piece of justice. And you know the fact that her husband and daughter just weren't respected. You know the fact that in such a tragic moment. So very happy for her and congratulations to her on that front. So she got all the money, how wonted she got her new boyfriend yet, um, we'll see. This is the business side of me kicking in. You know, if you get remarried, you will go all of that alimony and everything.

And not to say that it's about the money, but you know, part of marriage is definitely the business aspect of it is a business podeact. Oh, I didn't say Mary, that said a boyfriend. You ain't gotta get there boy free and uh yeah. But I don't know if you'll ever get over that. I think when I think of her and Kobe, I think of like Lauren London and Nipsey Hustle. I don't think that they're every good. I

like those were their soul mates. I don't think that you ever get over that, you know what I mean? They might just be single for the rest of their lives. I don't know, because how do you go to somebody else when you've had your soul mad? You know what I mean. It's just that it's not it's not it's not gonna fulfill you in any way. I feel like so those are both still very young women. They still have needs. They're gonna get somebody. Holding onto their memory

and hold on to the money is one thing. But holding on to that pillar in the middle of the night, I ain't gonna hit that spot. So yeah, I just hope they hope they smarted up to be like, yeah, I ain't give you no money. This is my money. You can have this part of me, but you can't have this money. So very happy for her. But are we gonna get into the nitty griddy of what's going on this week? Let's do with already, Hogan. Let's talk

about it. We're talking about what we're talking about, the rate about voting and all of these primaries that are happening and that are gonna be ongoing. Can I say how proud I am with the Democratic Party right now that they have found the found their damn wave. Look it looks like they found in their way. Yeah, I think, um, we actually have hope um for the primaries, uh through

the end of two and maybe even four. I saw a report from the who I think from the Washington Post today that Miss McConnell has privately said that the so called red wave that they were expecting to see it's not gonna happen, and that the Republicans are not going to get the Senate back. Let me question, do you think the Republicans asked with versus Yeah. I think that the Republicans went a little too far right and it's providing them in the act at this point. And

I think Roe versus Wade is a big topic. You know, there are women out there that feel like, you know, abortion is wrong, but you have to understand that. I think the right to choose supersedes that for some women, and I would say especially for white women, because it's mailing them. I think that the right to choose supersedes you're saying that you don't want, you know, women to be allowed to have a portion. And I think that's

what Republicans didn't count on. Thank got every all these white women were just Aimy called me Barrett's um and that's just not the case. You know, women should have a right to choose. And there's more and more instances where women are saying that you're forcing me to carry babies to term, you're potentially threatening my life and saying that you don't my life is not valuable, and that I should just have to die to bring this fetus into the world, because all y'all hear about is the fetus.

Once the baby's out, you don't care about the baby. But you're really showing women that you just don't care about them. And all these racist white men, y'all wouldn't be here if it wasn't for us and women. But we're gonna talk about it. So I think it was a huge slap in the face. And UM, a lot of women are seeing the Republican Party for who they are. And it's no secret it is our demographic that wins elections, specifically black women. But UM women truly ruled the world.

We do. Our votes and ideas matter, they really do, even if society tries to tell us otherwise. And black women his country in about the next twenty years. Why do you think I'm trying to become a black woman. I I gotta plank. Why do you think I'm trying I'm not try to be a white woman. I'm trying to be a black I know what you mean. Mm hmm. But there's a lot of UM swing states that are having primaries. UM Mark Kelly is looking very favorable in

UM Arizona. Val Demming just officially got the nominee in Florida, so she's running up against Marco Rubio and she I might even donating her campaign because Marco Rubyo needs to go. Um. The nineteenth district in New York, which was you know, projected to go towards the Republican candidate actually Democratic nominee one, which is huge and a huge indicator of what's gonna

be happening. Um. There's also a gentleman in Wisconsin who's running for the Senate Seeda forgetting things, so I apologize, but he's also got you know, favorable polling for him getting that seat. So it looks like we actually might be picking up a few seats and not losing any And had something to your valuity, Texas because they just unanimously voted out the share of everybody did They did

it unanimously, So just heads out to them. I know we mentioned on last week's episode, but if we we knew that they were talking about doing it, but they just did it. He's officially out. He should have been and take nine all nineteen the officers that said outside that room, which yeah, the coward ass move. And I'm sick of it knowing I'm telling you, when I keep watching all this foolishness that's happened in Malogue, I'm think

about going to rin me a room at Monologal. I heard the race are the all time low right now. You get a room for like twenty nine dollars. A nine h might not be said to go to Monologal. You might be hitting a cross fire or something that would make the Trump tu atics out there. And what you said about his his fan base, those those those are fanatics. Fanatics are very dangerous people. They will hurt

you or kill you. But I'm hoping that with all the when all the smoke clears and the dust settles from the government pulling back the wool on all the foolish it is that Trump pulled while he was in office and still to this day, that his fanatics, because they're not they're they're crazy. Most a lot of them gonna stick with him. But I'm hoping that they see, like, oh my god, he was bad for the country. He was bad for that party because he was bad for

the Republican Party. And I know some good Republicans. All Republicans are not bad people, but uh, the Trumplicants are different. But you've also got some Republicans that are jumping ship now and are switching parties. So you know, initially when I saw some of that, of course, I was a little eerie about it because I was like, Okay, they're trying to step it votes, but you've really got um.

For instance, the Democratic nominee UM that's running up against the Stantist now, he's a former Republican and he said I saw him on his last name is it's not ms Browns. I think his last name is Christie. But he was saying on Nicole Wallace the show, because Nicole Wallace is an anchor on MSNBC also former Republican turned Democratic independent that um, so Christie has people coming up to him saying, you know, I'm Republican, but I'm voting

for you. Because a lot of these Republicans are looking at their party like I don't recognize you guys. So they may not be jumping ship, they're just voting differently than what they're currently registered as. So that's also going to be interesting to see too well. I hope that the Democrats have picked on what the Republicans been doing, because sometimes they were running under a Democratic ticket and still have the Republican value. So maybe the Democrats gets

smart to do that. Well, that's what I'm saying to that um. With this governor that became the Democratic nominee, they called him a moderate Republican, but now he's officially become a Democrat and is running as such, and he's running um actually against rondas Antists, so that's gonna be. Florida actually has quite a few interesting um elections going on between Goldman's Marco Rubio and now this Christie Democratic Comittee and Ron Santis. So Florida, they are historically a

red state, but you never know, you never know. Uh they read, they read in petty Yeah, that is your petty state. That is the petty state, babe, with all the Republicans and all the damn pedophile not all the Republicans of pedophiles. I don't mean it like that, but it's plenty of pedophiles that brunch of Florida. So you can see the little blondhair, blue eyed keys. And in addition to that, in other news, Joe Biden is keeping to his campaign promise and is canceling student loaned it.

There's quite a few stipulations and parameters around it, but it seems like he's really trying to stick to what he promised the American people um as he was running for president. Um he finally you know, officially signed me and Glacial Reduction Act. Gas cases are going down nothing and lost in l A, but they are going down. And thank you for thank you for that. Joel and his wife Dr Jilbidy just tested positive a second time at the test of the negative Sunday for COVID again. Yeah.

I know like three people that have COVID right now and they actually it's like really bad. So I've been saying this, I think in the past two weeks. I feel like we're an apocalypse. Um but she was COVID's you know, coming back real strong. We got monkey pops eat ho i. Um folio was back fifty years later, which can't speak the environs and like it's very scary good so definitely socially social listen things to say in the news. Dr Anthony Foulci has found he decided to

step down as the head in December. He could have been how do you feel about that plane? You know, I love it? He could have been stepped down with react. I'm curious to see who they're gonna replace, because, you know, foul she's been there for a minute. He's been there, you know, since AIDS became an epidemic. So I'm curious who they're going to have step into his shoes to l him. I hope if somebody really do the job, because I never feel like he did a job. Yeah.

It's unfortunate too, because while I am a believer in science, I think sometimes um, that's the narrative, is that like, oh, we don't have all the science yet. But I think I also watched too many criminal and crime shows where they talked about how we don't want to dispel panics within the public, so they're not always honest, and I think in some cases that's really what happened. Without more so had an issue too with the fact that Trump was saying all kinds of craziness that he was just

sitting there and it wasn't refuting it. But again, Trump was the president. Don't know what other you know, consequences or reprofessions. It was Trump's power, and Trump proved that he has proven his power when he gets most of the candidates. The candidates that he has backed at one. Yeah, I think on maybe one loss, maybe maybe two, but I know for sure that one d it lose it. Yeah yeah, but you know, peace and blessings to fouch

you on his newfound retirement in December. He's had a quite a run, and I'm curious to see who comes into replace them, to step into the shoes. I hope it's a black woman. Well, you know how I feel about physicians. All of my physicians are black women, and the dermatologists and the primary physicians. And O B G N so girl, my O B G y N is a black woman. That's beautiful for you. I think that's beautiful. You haven't g I N. I was expecting a different

answer from you. Then I was gonna play along. You know, we have to let you feel like a grow sometimes playing. I was gonna play only when it's a check involved, exactly. I was gonna play only when there's a checker bowl. You know, as they say, I'm pandering, that's what they say. Joe Biden passed it student loans thing well because he wanted um. He wants people to um hm. That ain't what it is. I'm just curious to see if he

actually runs for a second term. That's what I'm really curious to see if that's gonna happen, because I think the only way he's gonna win a second term, and if he runs up against Trump and the way things are going, I don't think Trump will be able to run so And unfortunately, Kamala is just silent as a church mouse. I ain't heard from her, I ain't seen her. I don't know what she's doing so well. I don't know many vices, and you know, I'm not no huge

Comla fan, but it had defense. I don't know many vice presidents that have a whole lot of input. You know that you see, you'll see him here and there. But you know, even even when Biden was vice president to Obama, you didn't see buying that much. It was all about president, really did oh you saw buying a lot when he was vice president of Obama. He was all by Obama side. Do you think you think Kamala and Obama and might you get alone? I think so. I mean, let them tell it. You know, Kamala was

really close to um Joe's something that passed away. Hunter, Hunter, how'd you gotta be? Have you seen Hunte video. You know, I have not seen Hunter's video, but I know you have. You know, I've seen somebody said your Twitter Hunter was blessed and liked him a sister. I did hear that he did like us. I heard that he was in the video back woman Baby. Yeah. So I mean, you know, Kamala was supposedly very close to him, So I think that they have a good relationship, her and Joe Biden.

But I just think also to being that she was the first, you know, maybe you know, you have you set these high expectations because you are the first to be in the space to be a woman, to be a black woman or a woman of color, you know. And it's just especially on the roversus way in situation, she was just very silent. It took a while for her to come out and say something. The same thing with Joe Biden. So I just think, you know, people are trying to just disappointed. I never thought she would

be president. I even said when we had twenty five Democratic candidates that I thought she would be vice president. And I was right, because you're not usually in um. Absolutely, but it's just like girl, where you've been, you know. But okay, but so Okay, every and I cannot believe that I am fulfilling Comma, Harry, But you work in corporate America and you're a black woman in corporate America. You think they got a handstad to some degree. It's

a possibility. I'm not gonna say no, it's definitely a possibility. Sure, Yeah, And that's what I think because I think she was, she's boisterous, and I think she would do more because what I did like about it was that she was not afraid to speak a man when she was in there,

when she was running office. Right, he has a position maybe they have stifled her maybe, and if and if that's the case, that is disappointing because we, you know, we wanted to hear from her chall she had you know, the store wars or store wars back in her HBCUs.

We were like, okay, let's do something, you know, and I think, you know, it's almost I don't want to say tainted, but I think it has you know, affected her career, Yeah, at least her political career that she hasn't you know, really said anything about it, because it's like, where do you go from here? If you don't get reelected as a VP, or if Joe decides not to have you on his ticket, if he decides to run,

what do you do. I'd like to see her come out swinging with this whole this prosecuted, they found guilty in UM Kentucky for Brianna Taylor. And I also like to see how I have a word to come out and say something about the three officers that on administrative paid Lee for beating the hell out that white boy down in UH. What was that Arkansas? Was the Arkansas? Now? See that's the realty. Now, all of a sudden, the police is just beating people. They're not even just It's

not just us. They're going after the white people. Now you know, when the white people turn on you, it's gonna be different. I saw that a town in Kansas, uh, state of Kansas actually defunded their police for um malpractice. So do you think we should all jump on board with that long? I don't think we need to defund the police. I think that a lot of money needs to be taken away from the police. I will say that and put towards other sources UM, you know, like

counseling or UM. When there is an incident, you don't call the police, they're not the ones that show up, but you have social workers or mental health officials that actually show up to de escalate the situation other than somebody ending up dead because the police don't know what they're doing. So I won't say completely fund them, but I think that funds can definitely be reallocated. That's what I'll say. Well, I'm damn show uh look, I'm damn sure. I'm hoping they do to make some change in the

police department. And when I say, I don't think they need to defund them, but they damn show only need to put people who are familiar with neighborhoods that they have grown up in or what the people that they're working with. Because we talked about this a year ago with George Floyd and she did ain't changed. Still bad, but like you said, now they now they're not just getting us. Now they get their own, damn people. They're

starting to get the white people. And that's when you know that's where the up war is want it comes from. The white people are being messed with. It's gonna be a problem. Hell, you got white folks in government saying defund the FBI. Lives matter, so it's crazy they made because they went up in Trump House. Trump stollars paperwork. Trump stole that paperwork. Now he said that was missing. Emails came from Hillary. It's what even emails. Here's a

government document that's y'all found. I think the funniest part about that though, They were talking about how Trump didn't even want to sit through like you know how you have White House briefings as the president, you get briefed on things that are going on. They said they would have to find creative ways to give him updates about what was going on. And so while I was sadden, if you want to take about those documents, put you back from our lago when you didn't want to hear

about them when you were presidents. I think that's where the espionage claim comes in. They say he didn't want to read the documents everything. Maybe maybe his reading is not up to part. Yeah. I was talking about doing dioramas and all kinds of different descriptive illustrations so he could get the gist of what the hell was going on in the world. But you took all them documents after you left. He was trying to trade secrets. Stop it. He was just talking when oh boy from Saudi Arabia

who killed Jamalka Cholby the journalist. He was just both of him. But y'all voted for this man to be the president of the United States. Girl, we diding it's some crazy man. I'm telling you that I think I'm gonna run. I'm gonna be the president. And firstly, I'm saying to cut you a bunch of money. It's very true, you definitely would if that was the case. You can save a lot of money. But how would your White House correspondence dinner? Though? How would you dance with yourself

half a suit and half address. So I'll be the same person just dancing with myself. You can flip different sides and give different looks right, different things, different people. I love that. And I'd be gowned on one side and suited on. You know we did that for agent. I had to suit on and that I was there. I was there. Remember, I can pull it off over if anybody could, you could, anybody could. To laugh and learn, audience, we want you all to do the same thing. We're

gonna keep pushing this until these primaries is over. Red sense to vote. Please make sure that your ducks in a row. Keep everything together, because I'm telling you right now, we cannot drop the ball, and we don't. We don't have the luxurious saying overturning or they achieved us. They're not gonna listen to the Democratic Party because Trump and his team his cronies have already ruined that for anybody

else behind. So they will be very meticulous in the way they do this and prayers to Ukraine, answered Brittany Grant. Did you see where Dennis Robins said he was gonna go over to Russia to try to help bring Brittany Dennis rom If you don't set your heads down, well, I will say, you know, him and Food are supposedly tight. You know with Kim Young you he's tight with him too. Like it wasn't ludicrous when I first when I saw it, because I was like, Dennis Robin has been cool with

all the crazy militant leaders of other countries. He has been He's been like one of the few black people that could go into these countries and come out safely and then have like a meet and greet with their leaders and everything be cool. So in retrospect, if any celebrity could have gone over there, to help. It probably would have been Dennis Rodman, but I saw that the government intervened and was like, you need to stay your ass right here because you're gonna mess everything up. Because

Dennis Rodman is a bit of this cannon. Yes, but I wasn't totally surprised. I was like, Okay, Dennis robbin out of everybody, right, he's he's cool with so, but I do need them to work faster though, to get Britney out. I will say that she's doing a nine year bid. How much longer y'all gonna keep her there? Well, the trade that they want, that guys, the arms dealer, the one that they want from here. He's a nightmare. So they've given up a monster for rereby grinding and

that gay, he's a monster lord. But see, I always knew it was gonna be something. I always knew that, so you know, and it's honestly it's Russia's m O. And I think that this arm dealer in particular, I was reading about it. It was personal because he wasn't on us soil when we with the country apprehending it. He's not on us soil. We took him from another country and brought him here, so I think this one

was always very personal for food. But supposedly he served the majority I think of his twenty five years Sason. So but we'll see what happens. We're we're praying that Britney grind and come home. We want the ad and y'all, y'all want to hear my take on and go watch Hell of a Week on YouTube which tall to man the guy. You can see my take on it. What's our model, Lauren, because at the time, I'm so glad we had this time to get there, our model here and left and learn is We're never trying to get

anybody to change your mind. We're only trying to get you to use your mind, wil because the mind is a terrible thing. Of the weights. And make sure you are registered to vote, and make sure you get it all together, because I'm telling y'all now it's coming down to the come down. And please do not think that the primaries don't matter, because the primary, the primaries do matter. It's a great insight into what's happening in two more years.

Why just say voting in general matters. I don't want to hear anything about Oh I'm tired or my vote doesn't count. Please don't do that. It is it's ignorant, and I'm gona just saying that. I'm not trying to offend anybody. So if you get offended, clearly it applies to you. Do not say that. At this point in time, it is so important for us to go out and vote. I don't care how you do it. You know, I

know I live in California. I think I know for a fact, I'm very privileged in the sense of how we get to vote because we have such a liberal governor. But it's so important that we exercise our right to vote. Um like claims that at the start of the show, you know, the voting right to act. It's not that long ago. You know, we had folks that were literally

dying to exercise their right to vote. We had people, once they were able to exercise their rights or vote, we're literally homeless because they required from their jobs because they exercise that right. We as black folks and even more so as women, have suffered so much so we could be able to do this. So we don't embarrass your ancestors or piss them off for those that came before you. So you had this luxury to say my vote doesn't matter, so well, I'm gonna vote. I'm at

a couple of times and both all my names. I got a poor fast, different name, my l LC name, same role, all of them. Ship. It's getting scary, Lord, it is. It is. But we have young Generation X like yourself to help us and teach us, to show us so we appreciate it. Oh, I'm actually Jen, Why but thank you? Don't try and increase my age. Wait a minute, I'm Jen. Why answers? What years after me? I mean not after before me? I should say, because, uh, Jen,

I think it's like twenty three to thirty, like eight right now, So anybody below that is like gen Z gen X is basically anybody that's over thirty five to thirty, depending on which sense is you're looking at. Oh, I'm so old, I must be a generation A good God. No, No, you're you're gen X. I'm not ax im. I'm that's too young. You're not a part of the baby boomers, I am are you? What's baby booming sixty?
