1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: What's happening to Straights you Because this is your girl,

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Tesla and Figaro. I just wanted to drop in quickly

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: and give you some game on what I want you

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: to pay attention to today in Congress. Today is Thursday,

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: February four. This is just a quick shot. Let me

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: remind you that our regular season starts back next week

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: February eleven, so make sure you tune in for all

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: of the interviews. But I will continue to do commentary

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: just like this because I think it is important that

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: we stay abreast to what is going on in the

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: Biden Harris administration. But check it out today. I want

12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: you to pay attention to see if Democrats vote to

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: remove Representative Green from her committee positions. I believe that

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: they will, and if they do, I know I'll be

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: feeling good about it because I want to know that

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: Democrats have the ability to, you know, like I always say,

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: push the line and show that they do have the power.

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Bipartisanship is important. Unity is important. But when bipartisanship and

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: unity does not work, we have to do what is

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: necessary to act like we have the power. And so

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: just to give you a quick wrap up on what exactly.

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: I want you to look for. Representative Green said some

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: very wild things throughout not only her campaign but also

24
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: now that she's being elected. Google it, look it up.

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Look at all of the things that she has said

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: in the far right positions that she supports. But what

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: happened was they asked the GOP, the Republican Party to

28
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: remove her from her committees, and they said, oh no.

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: She gave an apology, so all as well. So this

30
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about, the fear of Trump motivating

31
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: voters to get these folks out of their position. That

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: is what this is Republicans. So let me just be

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: clear about this. Elected officials never want to lose their position,

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: not just Republicans, any elected official. Their greatest fear is

35
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: losing power. And Trump has their voters in his hand. Period.

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: And so last night Representative Green went and said that, yes,

37
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: President Trump supports me. She went and said that publicly

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: because she wanted to let everybody know, Hey, Trump supporters,

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm riding with you, and your president

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: is riding with me. And so republic And decided not

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: to remove her from those committee positions. So now Democrats

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: have the chance to do it. We're gonna see if

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: that happens. I hope that it does, because there has

44
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: to be a clear message that Democrats will indeed push

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: the line, push the power that they have, and so

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: this will be a very good indication of that. In

47
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: addition to impeaching President Trump on next week, which we

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: know they're going to move forward with that impeachment, but

49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: we do not know yet how the Senate will vote. Hey,

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: like I always say, use it, lose it, k make it,

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: choose it, but I hope that you do choose straight

52
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: Shot No Chaser is one of the many podcasts that

53
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: you listen to on the Black Effect podcast Network. Keep

Speaker 1: going on. Please rate, review, share this with someone. It

57
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: is important that Apple podcast space that is where you

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to review. A lot of folks ask

59
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: how do I review? Well, you can certainly listen to

60
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: the podcast wherever you get your podcast on the I

61
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Heart app, Spotify, wherever you listen, but on Apple it

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: allows you to rate and review shows and that is

63
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: so important. Appreciate the d ms that you guys send

64

65
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: d m s and opposed to applauding me, which I

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate and I'm grateful for. It is more important

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: that corporate sees that black folks do appreciate this type

68
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: of content. Let me remind you again that the majority

69
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: of podcast listeners are white, so it is important that

70
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: we show that not only can black folks hold our

71
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: own in this space, but we also appreciate substitutive content.

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,680
