And oh, I don't even though if I'm in a mood to talk about it, but we have to talk about the things that are happening right now. What you guys know before we get started.

So come see me, Come help me work it out, Come laugh with me and learn and talk shit because that's what I do. But I will leave. You will leave in a much better mood than you can't me. And how can I can guarantee you that? Because my joy and my laughter is infectious and I'm gonna I'm gonna put it on you.

I put it on somebody yesterday, but it wasn't the laughter okay anyway, ha ha. Thank you guys for joining us here at Laugh and Learn Um Season three, episode two. So much is happening in the world. I planned on started about talking about something else, but when I saw this tragedy that just happened, another mass shooting that happened in Germany. It is it's becoming so common that it's scary that it's like, oh, wow, another one. I hate

that we even feel like that myself. I'm guilty of the same thing, like wow, another one, because it's almost like as people, we have become numb to all of these mass shootings, which will make this like number oh god, not a hundred and some forty seven, forty eight this year, maybe forty nine, and you know we got that many days in the year. Yet it's very, very scary. So fres to Germany press, some people who are going through all the drama down there. A subject too I want

to talk about, is it is umof politics. Your President Joe Biden did a President Biden did have his a speech yesterday talking about the state of the economy and what we're facing. And I love what he had to say that he was going to start charging some of these larger corporations and some of these rich people. But I hope you guys read the fan print, because technically they will have to pay a little bit more in Texas than they did, but they still want to be

taxed what they should be taxed. I'm not giving body to pass on that now. Am I attack in bidement that Biden is not following the lead, but that is where they've become accustomed to after Donald Trump was in the president in office. So please fare attention to your politics, to your legislation, vote your colleges. That FoST was gonna keep some money in your pocket and keep your family feed because things are happening, real crazy everywhere. Speaking of

crazy things happening, I'm gonna go back. I come back to politics. Politics always so heavy. I swear I don't want to serve blaket on me right now, but I do want to talk about the four Americans that cross the border into Matamors, Mexico, just south of Brownsville, Texas. Two of were kidnapped to murder, where the other two will rescue the live. They were traveling in a white minivan the Mexican The Mexican authorities believe that there was

human traffickers and they had mistaken their identity. What I loved about the end of this story. I hate the two people lost their life, but I love that the Mexican cartel allegedly turned over the perpetrators, you know, because it's kind of like they governed their own country. They govern their own people. They don't want all that drama over there, especially if they're part of the Mexican Cartel. They don't need to heat over there. Of all that

that you are kidnapping people. So if you're traveling to another country, whether they be visiting family members or for surgery, which is believed to what they were going over there for to have some kind of les, let's expensive surgery. Because I know I've been to Mexican. I'm guilty of going to Mexico to Gualahra myself and getting the breast in plants. The Damn Show went left. I think they put a breast in planting one cheating and a gummy bear and the other or the Damn Show were left

on me. Please be careful, And because this was many years ago, the world is on high alert, right now, and people are desperate for money and doing any and everything to give money. And I'm glad that those two people did that. They did get away or get turned back over and they didn't become part of human trafficking. Human trafficking is very, very serious all over the world. The two survivors were found outside of Metamorals, Mexico. The one deceased was inside the house and the other survivors

was outside of the house. The male survivor was shot in the leg and the female survivor is the mother of five children who traveled from South Carolina to Mexico for a cosmetic procedure and others joined her to help drive. Sometimes, you know, they say, you give what you people. I am not faulting the victim at all, because I told you I am guilty of going to Mexico to have surgery. Not that it's a bad thing. It's some great doctors in Mexico. It's just that the world is a higher

and you get to be very hilarious. They see you looking like a tourist or like a foreigner. To them, you might be oh, they got money, you know, they're traveling, and you might become a victim or target. So please be careful, keep your head on swivel in the words the TTJ who will probably be joining us next week, and be cautious because you don't want to say I'm just going to have surgery and come right back and you end up not coming back or something horrible happened

to you. One of the victims sustained serious bodily injuries doing the attack. The CARTIL has apologized for members who who acted under their own decision making and a lack of discipline. The four victims are the Tavia Tay McGee, Eric James Williams, Shade Water, and Zendale Brown. All victims were probed for possible CARTIL late. I think it was a case of a stake and identity to I think

they thought they would over their drugs some others. The fifth person, whose name was Sheryl Orange, who traveled with them, said they were denied inches because she didn't have a photo ID, so her friends took her back to the hotel in Brownsville, Texas. Who, if ever, you needed to forget your ID Mexican security. Mexican security analysts believe cut your leaders offered authorities sacrificial lambs to minimize damage. And that there's the only reason for the apology. That is

a scary story because we do go. You know, surgery is expensive and it's a cheaper. You can get medicines cheaper in Mexico, surgery cheaper, but sometimes it comes at a different cast. So please deletery, be careful. Hopefully you know somebody over there, and if you're not a Spanish speaking person, you know somebody said you can understand the language, because you never know who we in a who's all in?

Or it could be the cab drivers, it could be a lift drivers, It could be so many different people that are in on it, and that you do not foresee where it's coming from. So please be cautious here in America, here in our country when you talk about medico more. Bill forty three is trying to be passed in Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee, all considered the most religious states who are weaponizing in Bill forty three. If you are unfamiliar with Bill forty three, we touched on it

last week. But Bill forty three is a bill that would eliminate the requirement open the door for possible child marriages same sex marriages, interracial marriages, drag shows. It's so many things. Transgender, it is so many things. And Tennessee is guaranteeing klerks is that they can deny license to same sex, transgender, interracial based on biblical beliefs. So this

is not even coming from the top. I can walk up to the counter and my presentation says transgender, and because you've been have the great day and whatever you see me and you like, I deny you. It's not even coming from government. They're making this personal. This is getting out of control. But I'm so sorry that my community is the lgbt QI eight plus community, we're fighting over pronouns and bathroom rights when we have so much

more serious stuff happening with us. I hate that, But hopefully why they we will come to a happy m about that and get things done. Biden has made I think Biden will stand with the lgbt community because he has always seemed to be very LGBTQ friendly when it comes to our rights and the things that we want doing. For his budget plank, he proposed a six point eight trillion dollars budgets that will increase the military spending and

a wide range of social program. Oh, we all go need counseling and therapy when all we finally come out this real pandemic and all this foolishness. But the budget will contain five trillion. Proposed text increased his own high earners and corporations over a decade, so he's not taxing them over the year. He text them over ten years to reduce the budget deficits bout three trillion over time by taxing the rich and these major corporations. I know,

it don't seem like it's going to happen. We all want instant gratification and sometimes we don't have to play the long game. This is one of those tams where we're gonna have to play a long game with the economy because we're complaining about the prices of aids and gas. But the country could be in so much more trouble. We could be in so much more trouble if we all stop and pay attention to the writings on the wall.

Because we don't see the writings on the wall. It's just it's uncanny that the things that are happening right in front of our eyes. Because everybody's complaining, and as far as that bill forty three goes with the drag shows. I hate that because there was the time when I made my entire living all drag shows, but we just didn't have the kids involved. We didn't have children involved. But it's getting scary and scary because we keep fighting as a as a as a community over the wrong foolishness.

I am. I was thinking about telling you guys that this is me, This is me talking. This is not the views of some of y'all. But I think that with all of the unfold that's happening right now with the vaccine and doctor Faulci, and it's supposed to we leaked from a Wuhan clang or over in China, I

think that it's really unfold. I talked about this during the pandemic, during coffee time of my non trusts for doctor Faulci, because I feel like he was in a cruiseial position to where he could have told us, you know, if he didn't agree with some things that the president at the time was saying when it came down to Corona. If you guys did not know that COVID has killed seven million people globally, it hasn't went away. It's just they don't talk about it as much, but it has

killed seven million people globally. I don't know what they were looking for, what happened. Why would they release something so deadly, Why would they even create something so deadly? But chemical warfare is very real. And if we're going to war, y'all worried about nukes, they can have powertism and they can put stuff in the water. I personally believe that I have infrastructure is something attack right now, which is why we're having so many planes almost crashing

and then the boards just disappearing. Why the planes are in mid air? You know how scary that he is because they can't track the plane. They can't tell you, but plane is right next to you. The scar stall seemed so friendly, and they seem to be getting a lot more crowded. But if we have outside influences and other forces in our infrastructure, we a lot of us could could lose our situations outside of our lambs. You know that they get in our water system. It's looking

like their infrastructure is in the Department of Transportation. And I'm not blaming a Buddha Jest for this, because Buddha Jest is the Secretary of transportation. But all these trail to ravens, back to back to back to back seemed so suspicious to me that I don't know. I don't know, because it's a rarity. Some things that are rare. Rarity is a train derailments, airplanes crash, And it's not to say that they don't happen, but now consistently like the

way they are happening. In January nineteenth of this year in the town of East Palace, that am in Ohio, ninety seven cards although no cargo and no one was injured, derailed. February to third this year, one hundred and fifty freight line is carrying toxic chemicals. In the instance, environmental contamination did happen? You know? And here's my thing. When President Obama was the president, he signed the bill to have

a certain break put on. I'm gonna tell you what the name of the break is, the name of the break because I wrote it down, I won't try to make sure I wouldn't know what I'm talking about. President Obama passed legislation making the mandatory for trains carrying hazardous biamable materials to have ECP breaks. But the order was rescinded by President Trump see Brocco. President Obama knew what was things that could happen impossibly and the writings on

the wall. He foresayd some things. But then you put somebody in office that didn't know the job. You know, that was a little incompetent to the job that they were elected for. And this is the situation that we have. That's why y'all keep saying Biden is too old, too old for whom he's still in the job. The other was younger, but he didn't do the job. You're gonna have to make a choice and make up your man.

March fourth this year. Second the realm involved the same company in Norfolk Southern in Clark County Fairgrounds in Springfield, Ohio. At the time, no hazardous chemicals weren't on board, but residents was asked to shelter in place. All of these train derailments look like that they are in our infrastructure and that train because here's the thing. I don't even understand why you will put certain kind of chemicals on

the same train. I know some of these cars be one hundred and forty cars, two hundred cards, but if you're gonna put gas in three cars behind and then separate them back two but then put another toxic chemicals that don't go with gas, and you know if they meet, it's going to be massively explosive. Why would you do dumb shit like that? That's just some dumb shit to me. I don't work for the railway system. I'm just saying.

And in addition, this year, South Carolina has had three derailments Lake City, Las Laws and Enori, two in rural California, one each in metropolitan Detroit, Philadelphia, Alabama, Alaska, Louisiana, and Texas and Nebraska. Was happening is I think that the infrastructure is old. I think they need to go in and revap it. But where's the money for that? That is part of the Secretary of Transportation and it's coming

from the top. We need money to procee train systems that we got to commute and we all rely on the train. You made our kiss the train, but the train is a commute for a lot of products that we use on a daily basis, so we definitely need the trains to go across country. I think a lot of these railway systems are older and a lot of these tracks need to be updated, which will mean more jobs and more work for the American people. Let's do it. Let's get it done. Y'all found money for everything else.

You found money for anything you want to found money for strong believer that whatever it is important to you, you make what is important to you. You make it happen when it's important to you. Don't seem like it's that important to me. What is it going to take? And then I hate to asset because I don't want a real answer, because I would hate to see people, innocent people lose their lives because somebody else dropped the

ball and doing their job. The East Palestine incidents have been have bombarded criticism toward the railway sector and Transportation Secretary Booty Jais. They are always looking for skategoat, skategoat scape goat who I couldn't get that out. He just happens to be the man in charge of the secretary right now of Transportation, i e. Against Norfolk Southern and the federal government for the lack of clean up. The incident that occurred on February third, twenty twenty three, in

the East Palestine involved thirty eight Norfolk Southern carriages. Close to five thousand residents had to be evacuated because of the chemical spill. Five tankers were carrying vinyl coreide material to make plastic pipings, wires, cable coding, car parts, and packaging. Residents have been allowed to return home per the EPA and Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Real experts contribute crashings to compromise safety measures and reduce workforces part of an

effort to boost rail company profits. It's always a dollar behind, somebody, always trying to make money, and the sacrifice, the sacrificial lands, unfortunately be the American people. Oh. I don't like that. Oh, I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that. And if Trump would have just kept that ECP break in place, it possibly couldn't help because it could have stopped the trains. Now, you do have to

understand that no train will stop instantaneously. Nothing happens instantaneously. The train takes about a mile and a half to stop, depending on the weight and how much baggage is carrying. But they estimated about a mile to a mile and a half when it's anything more than twenty five cards. I read that I don't know that for a fact, because I'm not a conductor. Plus that y'all don't hire us to be conducted in no way. Remember, we couldn't. We weren't good enough to do the job. So who

crashed these day of training? I'm asking for a friend, LEBYO saw my ship on hill. The reason was happening with America and all this instantaneous everybody wants to turnaround, to turn around the turnaround, including my trans sistance, because they got a big debate right now on social media about pronouns and all this foolishness. Here's the thing, you know who I blame for this? I want to start

off by saying that I blamed the eSPI Awards. Not that I have anything against the eSPI Awards, but I think that when they allowed Kayla Jenner to be become Woman of the Year, Kayla Jenner went into the into a closet and came out fifteen minutes later as a woman. So that discredits all the women around the world, professional athletes, anybody else that couldn't have been Woman of the Year for its microwave. Woman of the Year, y'all made it

look like it was okay. But I went back and I just looked at that award show when they scanned the audience with the camera. If you can see the look on some of those athletes and some of those women's faces when they crowned Kayla Jenner Woman of the Year, it was it was in such distaste the looks on their faces, and with resentment and and and very well deserved.

Let me just say that, because if you're gonna give a bitch woman of a Year, you should have gave it to be at least I would have worked cute dress glads. But it sent the message and every sense thing. It looks like my community have taken that message and ran with it, and it has backfired on us. Nothing is instant. Nothing happens in five minutes and ten minutes. Everything takes time. If you are making a soup, it takes time to put those ingredients in a little by little.

You can't put it all in the party at one time because it's not gonna come out to what you wanted it to be. Everything is done with a gradual pace, with patience and love and care, understanding. Hope. But we want it right now, right now, and right now. Nothing happens right now but death and bills, shit, tragedy, drama. So take your time, see who you are, Understand who you are. I stop looking for acceptance from everybody else.

If you ain't accepted who the hell you are? That is on My only message to that to my trans sisters, says, don't put you on to put me on blast and say I'm not a trans woman. You can keep telling me what I am not because what I ain't, because I'm gonna keep reminding what you ain't gonna never be. Okay, did you cass that? Did you kiss that? Okay? I just want to make sure you heard what I was saying because we are in a place of crucial time

and scary tragedy and bs. I need to tell you guys that on April the twenty second, next month, they're having a Black Effect Festival in Atlanta, Georgia at the Poolman Yards and it's gonna be hosted by Charlomagne, The Guy, My Boss, My Boy, and Miss Jest Hilarious, We see what the fucking man do. Horrible Decisions will be there. Eighty five South will be part of that show. Michelle Willis, We're part of that show. And I forgot the other two girls named from a Housewives of Potomac. But it's

gonna be major. You guys, come on out, hobnob and celebrate with us that we've been doing black effect for three years, having a great time while doing it, teaching, pushing the culture. They're still looking for people to come on as guest hosts on the Breakfast Club. So you never know who you might be, who you may have now with, and which you may leave, which you may leave will where you will leave on farm than you can. But you may leave with a job, which is always

most important. I like jobs. I damn sure like anybody messing with my jobs either. With the infrastructure infrastructure bill that President Biden is trying to pass as far as finances, he Umbaire to propose outline in Philadelphia. His budget is investing in America and all of America. His first two years, he signed laws to reveal infrastructures would supported all Americans. The president believes that the way to grow the economy is to invest in the middle class and working families.

His budget is to deliver affordable child care for parents, home care for older Americans, and disable people to get permanent expanded healthcare assistance. Through the Affordable Care Act. He included guaranteed pay lead for workers, free community college, and free kindergarten for students. Lastly, additional assistance for lower housing

calls for homeowners and wrenters. I'll take the last the rent, and I'll take the childcare because as a parent of three kids and I was a single parent, that was one of the most expensive things to do was to get childcare. Even if you got it through welfare or through through government assistance, it was such it was so challenging to find places that you felt like your kid would feel would be safe, and that you could just

walk in. I personally never liked home day cares and or friends to watch my children because I wanted them to not be too comfortable, and I wanted a place that I could walk in at any given time to

see what the hell is happening with my kids. We have to lock doors now because people are so crazy, But back when my kids were kids, which was shit seventeen eighteen years ago, I like places, whether the facility you could just walk in because they'll never know when you were coming, and you could always see what was happening with your kid. Lots of tragedy, and it's happened in daycare and babysitting services now because people don't pay

attention to the kids. And sometimes these children are too young to tell you exactly what somebody has done to them. But then when you when they come up with a bite or a broken bone or an ailment, you know, you like you question it, but then there's no cameras. You know, if you like me, I'm one of them parents like I'm ready to fight with everybody about my key. I'm ready to fight with everyone about my kid. But that's not the way the world works. This is Oscar weekend.

I just want to wish Angela Bassett and kay Blanche had two of my personal favorites, good luck with the Oscars. I'm not sure if I'm going to actually watch the Oscars because I'm I feel very slighted that they snubbed The Woman King and everybody involved with The Woman King, because I thought that movie was great.
