1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: What's happening Straight Shoot of Family. This is Tesla Figure,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: a host a Straight Shot No Chaser. I just finished

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: my national cable news News of the Day commentary, so

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you the Straight Shoot of Family

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: an extended shot of my thoughts. First, let me explain

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: how news of the Day commentary works. First of all,

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: I'm booked as an analyst to comment on news of

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: the day. The topic is not up to me. In fact,

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: on most occasions, i'm booked in advance before I even

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: know what the topic is. I also cannot control how

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: the hosts asked the question, and I certainly cannot control

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: their follow up question, or I cannot control what other

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: panelists may say next to me. Please know that when

14
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: I am on cable news, it is live. It is

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: not prerecorded. It is not scripted. It is live and raw. Second,

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: I can't control how long I'm on the air or

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: how they asked the question. I'm not the producer, so

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: I have no control. However, I do call the shots

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: right here on Straight Shot No Chaser, and here I

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: can talk as long as I want, and I control

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: the narrative. I have found that a lot of people

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: want me to go deeper into the topic. So I'm

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: going to start doing this right here on Straight Shot,

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: no chase of podcasts. To those who say I wish

25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: you would say this on Fox, let me say again

26
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: it is not because I won't say it on Fox.

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: There's no kool aid that pumps in my heart. Clearly,

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: the bottom line is, I'm just not in control of

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: the airtime. I am only in control of what comes

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: out of my mouth, and I do not have a

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: lot of time that they give me to go into

32
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: extended thought. Cable news just doesn't work that way. However,

33
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: what I want you to do is stop putting so

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: much power in the hands of mainstream media Fox, in

35
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: MSNBC or CNN. Let's focus on creating our own narrative.

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: Let's push our own line. Let's bring that power right

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: here on my podcast or other podcasts like the Black

38
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: Effect podcast Network, because despite what you heard or what

39
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: you may assume, the podcasters have control of their own narrative. Now,

40
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: with that said, let's get in today's topic. My topic

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: today was by doubling down on free college for All.

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: My comment was he absolutely should double down. In fact,

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: he should triple down like Triple six mafia. He should

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: continue to push and push and push. He shouldn't give

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: a down what Republicans say, what they think. He should

46
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: follow exactly what voters told him to do, the same

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: way that Trump. Voters expected Trump to do what he

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: said he was going to do. Why is it that

49
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: they expected anything less from a Democrat. Well, I'll tell

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: you why. It's because democrats or people on the left

51
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: have allowed leaders to get a pass. Trump has shown

52
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: that as president he will continue to push the line

53
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: even if other Republicans, for example, voted against him, even

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: if Democrats don't want to support trump policies. Democrats say, well,

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: he's the president for everybody. He should do what everybody wants. Well,

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: guess what, it doesn't work that way, and Trump showed

57
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: you that it doesn't work that way. This is not

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: me supporting Trump. This is not me supporting his ideas.

59
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: I never have, even though newspapers are different, reporters have

60
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: flat outlied on me. I've never said that, oh, I

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: support President Trump. What I said was I envy his

62
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: gangster style because I wish that we had a gangster

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: on our side that did the exact same thing, that

64
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: wasn't concerned about pleasing everybody, but only concerned about pleasing

65
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: the voters. Because guess what, that's how it works. Whoever

66
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: puts the person in office is the one that calls

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: the shots. It's the same way in your house. Who

68
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: pays the bills in your house? Whoever pays the bills

69
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: in your house, usually it's who runs the show. Think

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: about when you grew up, and you grew up like me,

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: if you had a black mama like me, they were

72
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: quick to say, I pay the bills in this house.

73
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: I run with going this house until you start paying bills.

74
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: Then you can tell me what to do. Guess what, folks,

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: that's how it works in politics. You combine into this

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: coom by your mess if you want to. They don't know.

77
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Everybody has a voice, and it's not supposed to work

78
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: that way. No, that's exactly how it works. Unfortunately, special

79
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: interests has had more say than you have had because

80
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: guess what, special interests has the money. But what I

81
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: do know is that we have the muscle. Just like

82
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: in the streets, you have the muscle and you have

83
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: the hustle. You have those who fund activities in the game.

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: You guys know, I like using gang terminologies because I

85
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: need you to understand the Democrats Republicans move just like gangs.

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: So you have people who fund gangs who are not

87
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: necessarily on the block, but they give the money for

88
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: the weapons, the money for the dope, they give everything

89
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: that they needed in order for their gang the function.

90
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: And then you have people who are on the front line,

91
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: the riters, the one who's actually gonna put in work

92
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: on behalf of the set tells. Why do you keep

93
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: using gang analogies Because you need to understand that America

94
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: is one big gangster party. Not a Democrat, not a Republican,

95
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: but a gainst the party, and the faster you understand that,

96
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: the faster you can understand your role in this. I

97
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: don't expect those who don't understand street culture to understand

98
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: what I say, and it's not because I'm trying to

99
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: glorify street culture. I'm trying to get you to understand

100
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: that it moves the same exact way I was talking

101
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: this morning. On the way to my hip, they sent

102
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: a driver and I always request the same driver because

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I keep money in

104
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: his pocket. So we talk a lot about what I

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: talked about For that day and this morning he asked me, well,

106
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, how's it up to just Mitch? Why is

107
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Mitch the only one that gets to make a decision.

108
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: I said, honey, that's the way they wanted to look.

109
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: It is not up to Mitch, Nancy or even Trump.

110
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: It won't be up to Mitch Nancy or even Biden.

111
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: It is a bigger issue than that. If you think

112
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: for one second that other people are not involved, this

113
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: goes Democrats and Republicans are not involved with how we

114
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: move money and how things get done. You're confused on

115
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: how gangs the politics works. Let me give you an example.

116
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: You may not be familiar with the street culture, but

117
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: just rock with me. I've known plenty young homies that

118
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: have took charges for older homies because they don't have

119
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: a record. So let's say me and two other homies

120
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: in the car, there's a gun in the car, there's

121
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: dope in the car, whatever it is, you get pulled over.

122
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: Guess what. A lot of older homies have had younger

123
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: homies to take the charge, because if the younger homies

124
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: take the charge, they'll do less time. Time, They might

125
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: get why a time, that's youth authority for those who

126
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: don't know juvenile time. They may get it dismissed. It

127
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: maybe something might be minor, might be misdemeanor. It might

128
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: be their first felony opposed to the older homy getting

129
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: the charge, which means they might get three strikes and

130
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: they might be out. They may go back, they may

131
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: be on probation, they may have to go back and

132
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: do time. This happens every day in the street culture.

133
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: You have somebody take the charge. Now we also know

134
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: that there's telling. We'll get into that in another time,

135
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: but let's just deal with just this part right here.

136
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: When you have somebody else take the charge, it doesn't

137
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: mean that they actually did what they took the charge for.

138
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: It happens a lot with women. A lot of women

139
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: who are serving time right now. They're serving time over

140
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: something that somebody else did that they man did. These

141
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: are just facts, not something that they did, but because

142
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: there were acquaintance of what somebody else did. And plenty

143
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: of people take the charge for others. Now, again there's

144
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: a lot of telling, and we'll get into that in

145
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: a moment, but right now I want to talk about

146
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: those who actually take the charge for somebody else. They

147
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: do that in order to make it easier for the

148
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: big homy. This is already understood in the gang culture.

149
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: How does that apply to politics? Let me tell you,

150
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: Mitch right now is taking the charge for all the Republicans.

151
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: Nacy's taking the charge for all of the Democrats. But

152
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: don't you think for a second that while they were

153
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: in that car, they did not decide how they were

154
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna move. For example, when you put a bill on

155
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: the floor and you say that this bill will only

156
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: pass if it is unanimous, meaning that every single person

157
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: have to agree, they knew damn well when they put

158
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: before they put that bill on the floor, that every

159
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: single person was not going to agree. So a lot

160
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: of the times that these bills are presented, and this

161
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: goes for Democrats Republicans, they already know. Let's not say

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the time, let's say all of the time,

163
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: they already know the outcome, and they play you, as

164
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: the American people, to make you believe that they just

165
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: were clueless and how things would fall. What I want

166
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: you to understand, family, is the same way that the

167
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: gamesteres get pulled over in the car and they gotta

168
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: split second to make a decision on who gonna take

169
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: the charge, because I know that this happens split second.

170
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Who gonna take the charge? Who gonna what? It's already

171
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: understood when they find whatever they find in the car

172
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: on who's gonna take the charge? Period? The discussion has

173
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: already been had. So you need to understand that politics works.

174
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: There is that same way. This is why I want

175
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: to wake up all the g homies, those who have

176
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: already who who made it out of their life, who

177
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: tried to change over their life, is trying to do

178
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: something different that made it to live to be forty

179
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: and fifty, never expected to live past. I want to

180
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: wake them up so bad because I know that the

181
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: same way that they organized, the same way that they

182
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: moved into gangster world, is the same way that politics works.

183
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: And I can't get people that don't understand the street

184
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: culture to understand what I say because you don't understand

185
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: that culture, so it's never gonna make sense to you.

186
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: And again, I'm not glorifying their culture. I'm not saying, oh,

187
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: you should be a part of the streets, so not

188
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm glad that you were not associated

189
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: with that. What I'm trying to get you to understand

190
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: is I'm speaking a different language that only some people

191
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: will understand. And if I can get those people to

192
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: wake up, then then we can start taking politics over.

193
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: Because it requires against the mindset, it requires having some credibility.

194
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: It requires I'm talking about old school gee, old school

195
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: gs that did time and didn't tell because they believe

196
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: that if they did the crime they did at the time,

197
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: why take everybody else down. I'm talking about old school

198
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: gs that their reputation meant something. That they said, Oh no,

199
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna never be no smug on my name.

200
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Remember when Nipsey said that in one of his albums,

201
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: no smugging my name, that meant something. See these politicians

202
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: that you're electing right now, they don't give a damn

203
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: what's smugs in their name. They say one thing when

204
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: they're getting when they're running for office. Then when they

205
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: get in they use the excuse, well, i'm running for office.

206
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: I gotta win, so I can't say such as such.

207
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: And then when they get in office, and then then

208
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: what they usually say is once I get in office,

209
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: I'll be able to do something. Then they get in office,

210
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: guess what they do. They flip again. You know why

211
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: they flip agin because they never had character and integrity

212
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: in the first place. And as soon as you start

213
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: understanding that, then this is how we move forward on politics.

214
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: This has been Tesla figure. Oh use it, lose it,

215
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: but I can't make it, choose it until next time,

216
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: which wish
