1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: What's good, straight Shooters. This is Tesla figure Out, the

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: host of Straight Shot No Chasing. Today is Monday, February eight.

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm checking in to discuss the week ahead. On Tuesday,

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: February nine, Congress will be focusing on COVID relief in

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: the morning and impeachment in the afternoon. Yes, folks, they

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: are learning how to do two things at the same time.

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: Speaking of doing two things at the same time, understand

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: that I am emotionally mature enough to critique and congratulate.

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: Do not get my recent acknowledgement of Democrats finally getting

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: gangster with it as an indication that I will not

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: critique any politician and any party at any time. However,

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: pay attention to this. Anyone that says that a person

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: is always right are always wrong. They are motivated by

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: other factors. For me, I really want to see my

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: folks win, and black people voted for this administration, so

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: I want to see them get a return on their investment,

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: so that means, yes, I must critique, but that doesn't

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: mean that I will ignore when Democrats finally get something right.

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: That's called balance, and that's how real love works. And

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: I have real love for my people. So for clarity,

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: especially to those that just started following me, I was

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: a Democrat all of my life. In two thousand twelve,

23
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: I became independent, meaning I registered as a non party affiliation,

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: but I lean left because most of the policies that

25
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: I support are on the left side of politics. However,

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm independent because I believe that we shouldn't show our

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: cards so easily. I believe that black folks should be

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: sought after, courted, dated, engaged, and then they should ask

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: to marry us to their vote. So personally, for me,

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: being independent works, but I grew up under the code

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: of when you see your people fighting, you jump in

32
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: the fight and you ask questions later. So because black

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: people are fighting inside of the Democrat Party to be represented,

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: then I'm ringing with them honestly, to tell you the truth.

35
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Like I said a moment ago, I think all black people,

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans should spread out across the board and

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: we should have more people who are actually not affiliated

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: with any party at all. With that said, last week,

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: there was a clip with me getting it in on

40
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: Fox News. It will share collectively over one million times,

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: and as it turns out, just as many people that

42
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: don't like me going on Fox, there are just as

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: many people that love me going on Fox to speak

44
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: the truth. It's easy to preach to your own choir,

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: but it hits different when you go to the place

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: where hardly anyone of the audience welcomes what you have

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: to say. My entire life has been that way. I've

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: always leaned towards the hard way, opposed to the easy.

49
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: So please go check out the clip on my I

50
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: g at Tesla Figaro. Another thing I want you to

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: do is pay attention to this impeachment trial and look

52
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: at the games that Senator Joe Manchin is planning. I

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: don't want to judge them too early, but I'm watching

54
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: this Republican turn Democrat real close. And it's not because

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: I don't believe that people can't change their mind, because

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: I have, you have, we all have. But he also

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: knows that he's one of the most powerful people in

58
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: the Senate. Why because he knows that both sides are

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: depending on him for his vote. He's registered as a Democrat,

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: but he still has a lot of Republican values, and

61
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: I want to see how he's going to use that

62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: power to leverage to hurt the Democrat Party or to

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: help the Democrat Party, so pay attention. I have more

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: on that later. I also have more TV commentary coming

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,480
