1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: What's happening to straight shooters? This is your girl, Tesla 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: and figure a host a Straight Shot No Chaser, I 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: wanted to tap in right quick and talk to you 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: about these Congress clowns. Now, before I get into my commentary, 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: let me explain to you what we're doing a little 6 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: bit different this season on Straight Shot No Chaser. Thank 7 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: you so much for supporting me last season. And what 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: I found out is not only do you want to 9 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: hear more dope interviews, but you also want to hear 10 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: my commentary. You want to hear my thoughts. So moving forward, 11 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: I will be giving you commentary in addition to interviews. 12 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: During my interviews, you will notice that I spend more 13 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: time listening than I do talking because I feel as 14 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: though the person that I've invited on the show should 15 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to tell their story. I do ask questions, 16 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: I do push back with need be, but I do 17 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: not use all of their time to give you my thoughts. 18 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: With that said, a lot of you want to know 19 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: how I feel on certain things. You follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: and so forth, so I decided to give you commentary 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: moving forward. Now, these bonuses will be very quick and short. 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: Maybe four minutes, five minutes, sometimes ten. Who knows. I 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: may go on for thirty minutes. It'll just depends on 24 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: how I'm feeling. But I wanted to give you some 25 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: nuggets in between the interviews, just to keep you updated 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: on news of the day, commentary events, things you need 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: to know about politics, and just when I'm feeling some 28 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: type of way. If this is something that you're feeling, 29 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: let me know. Reach out to me on Instagram, reach 30 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: out to me on Twitter, and let me know that 31 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: you're feeling this. More importantly, I would appreciate it if 32 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: you rate the show and write a review on Apple. 33 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Now let's get to the commentary. I wanted to stop 34 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: in right quick and talk about these Congress clowns. Now 35 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: we see that today the House has passed the bill, 36 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: which is called the Cash Act, that will allow people 37 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: to get a two thousand dollar stimulus check. Now it 38 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: will be going to the Senate. The other day I 39 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: did a commentary about the games that Democrats and Republicans play, 40 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: and oftentimes they play this game with each other. Now, again, 41 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm not accusing anybody of anything. I'm telling you what 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: I know about politics, not what I heard However, it 43 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: appears that Democrats want to move forward with offering people 44 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: two thousand dollar check. They said that they agree with 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: President Trump. Well, I ask you this, do you really 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: believe that President Trump is in support of people getting 47 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: a two thousand dollar check in addition to every child, 48 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: meaning that a family of me and my daughter will 49 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: get four thousand dollars. And they also included where you 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: now get retroactive another five hundred per child from the 51 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: first stimulus bill. So we're talking about a family of 52 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: Ford possibly receiving over eight thousand dollars. Do you really 53 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: believe that the Senate is about to pass that even 54 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: if they took out all the foreign aid, which is 55 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: the issue that's the Senate is claiming on why they're 56 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: holding up the bill. Even if they took out all 57 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: of that, do you believe that this current Senate would 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: give Americans several thousand dollars the same Senate that objected 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: two unemployment benefits being six hundred dollars more a week. 60 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: I highly doubt it. So if you're getting excited about it, 61 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: and you're feeling as if the government's about to make 62 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: it rain, I'm not trying to piss on your parade. 63 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you what's real. I highly doubted what happened, 64 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: and it's not because Trump just decided to do the 65 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: right thing. And to be honest with you, I don't 66 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: believe every Democrat wants to give out that type of 67 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: money as well, because again, a lot of these folks 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: are on the same team. You hear it all the 69 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: time that they are a part of the same bird, 70 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: just different wings. So as you move forward and watch 71 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: this on fold, be careful to try to blame one 72 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: or two people, Mitch or Nancy or Trump. Pay attention 73 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: to how each and every elected official voted. And look 74 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: at what they're saying on the record. Are they speaking 75 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: out about it? Have they sent you an email about it? 76 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: Have they made it known how they feel? Have they 77 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: told you their position? If they haven't put it on 78 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: the record, to me, that's just like and nothing at all. 79 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: So as your local elected official to put it on 80 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: the record like that old blue song says, put it 81 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: on paper. I say this because we have to start 82 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: getting into the discipline of holding our elected officials accountable. 83 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: It is not just Mitch Nancy Trump, and it won't 84 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: be Mitch Nancy or Biden. This starts at the local 85 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: and the state level. This is why, again I encourage 86 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: those of you in Georgia to vote in this selection. 87 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: And it is not because I'm saying old Democrats are 88 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: the best thing since slice bread. It's not because I'm 89 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: even pushing for a Democrat. What I want to see 90 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: is I want to see if Democrats have the House 91 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: and the Senate, will they move forward with the promises 92 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: that they made the black community in particular. Everybody, yes, 93 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: but in particularly the black community. And I'm not ashamed 94 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: to say that because I'm a black woman and I'm 95 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: right here on the Black Effect podcast network. So my 96 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: position is very clear that I'm trying to get something 97 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: from my community, the community that saved Joe Biden's asked 98 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: twice in the primary and also in the general election. 99 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: So Black people deserve to get something from this administration. 100 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: And the only way they can do it is if 101 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: we control the House and the Senate, and once we 102 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: give them the keys to the power for real, let's 103 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: see how they move. Because if they don't move even 104 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: with having all the power, then we have to readjust 105 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: and restrategize and figure out how we're gonna move in. 106 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: And no, that doesn't mean I'm saying we need to 107 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: go be Republicans. That's not what I'm saying. What I've 108 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: always pushed before Trump was in office, before Biden was 109 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: in office, is that I really do believe that black 110 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: people in states that do not require you to register 111 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: as a Democrat a Republican states like Texas, for example, 112 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: I think you need to be non party affiliated. You 113 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: can still vote in the Democrat primary. In states like Texas, 114 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: I think that's important that they not know our every 115 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: move At some point we have to keep them guessing. Now, 116 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: in states like Florida, they require you to be a 117 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: Democrat or a Republican in order to vote in the 118 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: Democratic Republican primary. So that's the whole entire different game. 119 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: And I'll get into that more of this season on 120 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: how we really need to come up with a Southern 121 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: strategy so that next time in the Democrat primary, we 122 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: have more to negotiate, we have more leverage, And it 123 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: starts right now with asking the questions that need to 124 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: be asked and holding people accountable. We cannot continue to 125 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: be distracted by saying, what about Trump, What about Trump? 126 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: What about Mitch? What about Trump. No, what about the 127 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: people that we elect in our community? What about those 128 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: that we give our vote to. Those are the only 129 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: ones that truly owe us something. I know you've been 130 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: sold this pipe dream that the president is everybody's president 131 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: and that they all work for us. But it doesn't 132 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: work that way. That's why you have elected representatives representing 133 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: different parts of the country. If it was Mitcha's job 134 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: or somebody else's job to represent me in my block 135 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: and where I live, then he wouldn't be representing his city, 136 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: his state. We have to start being smart about this 137 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: and intelligent about this and hold our own people to 138 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: the fire. Well, like I always say, use it, lose it, 139 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: but I can't make it, choose it. Make sure you 140 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: subscribe so you can get notifications as I move forward, 141 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: because this is gonna move really fast, and I want 142 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: you to get all of the updates that I have 143 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: for you, and I want to give it to my 144 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: straight shooter family first before I go I g Live, 145 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: before I go Facebook Live, before I go in clubhouse. 146 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm giving you this promise, my word, that you get 147 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: the commentary first, that you get the game first, and 148 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: like I always say, use it, lose it, but I 149 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: can't make you choose it, but I do want to 150 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: give it to you and you do with it what 151 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: you will.
