1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: What's good, straight shooters, This is your girl, Tesla and

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: figure Oh checking in with another quick straight shot. Well,

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: I've been peeping game on social media. Looking at the

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: mixed reviews regarding the first few days of the Biden

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Harris administration, I can already see what the next four

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: years will be like. Currently, there are two different tribes

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: leading the conversation in the black community. The first tribe

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: is the tribe that thinks that Biden can do no wrong,

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: and then the other tribe that thinks that Biden can

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: do no right. Let me first say that I have

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: no issue with anyone pushing whatever line they decide to push.

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: I don't tell folks what to do. I just simply

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: recommend that whatever you believe in, whatever it is that

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: you stand for, push the line. But I do want

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: to say this for those that think President Biden can

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: do no wrong and say, oh, we just all need

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: to be patient and give Biden credit. I believe that

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: if someone wants to ride Biden like a Democrat, donkey

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: to let them have at it. Someone needs to do it,

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: so let them do it. Trust me, them complaining on

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: social media will not stop President Biden from being president.

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: And think about it. If they push him for more resources,

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: regardless of whatever their motive is, then guess what, that's

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: a good thing because that means more for you. And

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I Yes, America does call him Uncle Joe, but guess what,

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: he's really not your uncle. So it's no need for

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: you to take it personal. And now, to the people

28
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: that believe Biden can't do anything right, I get it.

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: I know you don't want a song and dance with politicians,

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: and I'm with you when you're right, because I damn

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: sure won't tap dance around any issue. But my love

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: for black people requires me to be honest, and if

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: a policy honestly helps my people, then I need to

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: be honest about that. Being honest doesn't mean that I'm

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: selling out. It just means that I'm setting up our

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: people for success by giving them the necessary information. Truthfully. However,

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: being honest doesn't mean that we don't stop pushing the line.

38
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: And you'll notice me saying that as we continue this journey,

39
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: I'll always give credit when it's due, but I will

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: always in the sentence, was saying, however, we must always

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: push for more. Now again, I'm not telling you what

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: to do. I'm just telling you how I roll. I

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: understand the concept of doing two things at the same time.

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: Like the song bad Chick, he said, she's mean like

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: a pit bull and sweet like candy. I've always been

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: that way. My style has always been diverse and able

47
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: to see both sides in my personal and my professional life,

48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: and I bring the same thing to politics. I love

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: all people, but I was called to serve in politics

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: because I was called to serve the needs of the

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: community that I'm most familiar with, and I will not

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: apologize for it. I understand that I will be held

53
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: accountable for my actions when they lay my body down.

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: That is how it is and how it will always be.

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: I hope you joined me for the ride on this journey. Now,

56
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,360
