1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: What's good, straight shooters. This is Tesla Figural host a 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: straight Shot Don't Chase a podcast on the Black Effect 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: Podcast Network. Let me give it to you straight up. 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: We are days away from the election. If you are tired, exhausted, 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: worn out, tired of debating, tired of social media, tired 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: of going back and forth with friends and family, tired 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: of the internet tropes, tired of the lies, tired of 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: everything and seeking more truth. Guess what If this is 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: your first time being tired after an election, you may 10 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: ask yourself, is it because this is the first time 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: you've been active in the process. When I say active, 12 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean not just someone casting your vote. I mean 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: someone that has paid attention, someone that was willing to 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: debate the issues, someone that paid attention close to the policy, 15 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: someone that wasn't willing to just listen to what they heard, 16 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: but read and find the information and go on what 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: they know. So, if this is the first time you've 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: ever been tired before an election, welcome to how democracy 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: was designed to work. It is not my job to 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: tell you who to vote for. My efforts are not 21 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: based upon a dream that I had of being on 22 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: TV or the radio. Radio. When I was a little girl. 23 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: There was something inside of me that was in the 24 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: pit of my belly that forced me to speak up. 25 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: Every year, it never fails. A teacher would send home 26 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: a note to my mom saying, great student, but she 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: talks too much, too much. I say that to say 28 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: that this is not a dream dream. I didn't chase 29 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: a dream. My calling chase me, chase, and my calling 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: is centered on you. This is not the first time 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: that I have been tired before an election, and it 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: sure won't be the last, regardless of who's in office, 33 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: because there's something in my spirit that will not rest. 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: And if you aren't able to rest after this election, 35 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: I must ask you. Did you rest after the chaos 36 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: appear to end because you didn't want to have to 37 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: do anything about the larger problem? Did you want to 38 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: go back to normal just so you could put your 39 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: head in the sand The day after the election on 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: November four, Time will tell The reason the Straight Shot 41 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: No Chase the podcast has and will continue to feature 42 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: different voices is because I believe that if people are 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: given the information in an easy digestible way, not talking 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: down to you like many campaigns do, but by being 45 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: straight up, then you will see yourself in the process. 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: And when I say see I don't mean see yourself 47 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: as just another vote. I mean see yourself in your 48 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: rightful place in this space. When I say see yourself, 49 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: that means that rest assured. Once you see yourself, politicians 50 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: will begin to see you. Being ignored will no longer 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: be an option. But this will only happen if you 52 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: are willing to stay the course. Are you willing to 53 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: continue to be tired with me? This is why I 54 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: say I don't look for allies, because allies get tired 55 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: and they have the choice to tap out. I'm looking 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: for frontline soldiers. Frontline soldiers were meant to be on 57 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: the front line, tied until the casket drops. They give 58 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: their all. There is no turning around. They stand volde 59 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: and they say that no weapon formed against me, shell 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: prosper They say that yay. Though I walk through the 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no heat. 62 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: And a lot of you are voting out of fear. 63 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: You believe that one vote will take away all of 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: the evil. And although it will make a difference, understand 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: that evil does not go away. So you must continue 66 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: to fight. The day after the election, the election. If 67 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: you are motivated by fear, then I'm asking you to 68 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: be scared enough to stay in the fight. Be scared 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: enough to want people to have health insurance. Be scared 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: enough to want people to have jobs. Be scared enough 71 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: to know that there's homies in jail right now that 72 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: are innocent, but we're forced to take a plea deal 73 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: and didn't have a fair shot at justice. Will you 74 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: be scared enough to pull out your soldier rat? And 75 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: when I say scared, I'm not talking about the week. 76 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking about those that turned their fear into fire, 77 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: their passion into purpose. Will you join me? Joined me? 78 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: I always say use it, lose it, but I can't 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: make it, choose it. But November third, you will have 80 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: a choice, and November four, the day after the election, 81 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: the chosen will be selected.
