Ep 199 | SHOCK! Joe Biden Sends $1 Billion in Aid to Africa Amid US Disaster Crises

In this episode of “Normal World,” Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela tackle President Joe Biden’s controversial $1 billion aid package for African nations. While domestic areas like Appalachia and North Carolina reel from hurricane devastation and lack of federal relief, the crew questions misplaced priorities and potential corruption in foreign aid allocation. The discussion heats up with a Canadian mayor’s refusal to fly a Pride flag during Pride Month, igniting debates on government mandates, cultural values, and free speech. In “Trans News,” they humorously congratulate biological male Alex Consani for winning Woman of the Year at the U.K. Fashion Awards, poking fun at awards culture and gender identity politics. The team also critiques efforts to rewrite Alcoholics Anonymous literature to include gender-neutral pronouns, questioning identity politics’ place in recovery programs. They then turn to Cesar Hernandez, a convicted murderer who escaped custody in California, imagining the challenges of tracking him in a sanctuary city. Closing with humor, they riff on rumors of Elton John’s blindness, celebrate his legacy, and laugh over Theo Von’s viral quip comparing Wayne Gretzky to Princess Diana, hilariously tying Gretzky’s iconic mullet to Diana’s regal style.
