Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just keep a real straight shot with no Jason.

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a little bit rougher. I'm here for it.

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Those who really believe in the American process, all of

Speaker 1: your host a straight Shot No Chase of podcasts on

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: the Black Effect podcast Network on IR Radio. This is

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: the week of Monday, August thirty through Wednesday, September one,

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty one. I have to say the date, guys,

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: because every day something changes in the news. I'm trying

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: to give you commentary, to give you a recap of

13
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: what's going on in the political world, and it seems

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: that it changes every day. We have went through so

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: much this year. We thought last year had a lot

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: because of COVID and so many other things, but this

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: administration has had to deal with a lot, and we

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: are just in August actually going into September. Today is

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: actually September one. Now, it seems like every time I

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: do this, I say what a week has being It

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: seems like I say that all the time, and I

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: have been saying it all the time a lot lately

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: because we've had so much to cover. I am going

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: to try to give this to you as usual, in

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: a way that you can understand, in a way that

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: makes sense to you, in a way that basically our

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: straight shot, no chase or commentary style. I hope you

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: like the new format. I'm trying to break it up

29
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: between interviews and commentary because a lot of folks want

30
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: to hear my position on things. At the same time,

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I love interviewing great guests, you know, so you can

32
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: hear somebody else's perspective besides myself. I hope you had

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: a chance last week to check out Dominique Alexander, who

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: is the found under of Next Generation Action Network. He

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: was talking about the march that he was planning on attending,

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: which happened last Friday. The march did happen. Tens of

37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: thousands of people showed up for voting rights, and I'm

38
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that for a little bit, but first

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: let's kind of talk about what else is going on

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: this week. So we know that Joe Biden pulled out

41
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. If you want to get a recap on

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: that I'm sure about now, you know. But if you

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: do want to here my position on that, make sure

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: you go back and listen, uh to. I think it

45
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: was the week before last that I went over Afghanistan

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: in my position on that, and so as of now

47
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: he has pulled out. And did you guys check out

48
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: Biden's I said what I said speech. I guess he

49
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: told y'all what time it was. He said, I told

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: y'all nineteen times to get out of Afghanistan. It is

51
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: what it is, bottom line mine period. Put that on

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: the gag. Oh yeah, he said he wasn't playing no

53
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: games and doing no explaining. Biden said that he has

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: always talked about getting out of Afghanistan. He said he

55
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: has always made that known. He said that he also

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: talked about it on the campaign as a promise, and

57
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: he intended on keeping his promise. Now you know, I

58
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: was looking some type of way, feeling some type of way,

59
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: rolling my eyes all at the TV when he said that,

60
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: because I wish he had the same energy with keeping

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: the same promises that he promised black folks. But nevertheless,

62
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: he did keep his promise with getting out of Afghanistan.

63
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: The withdrawal date was the date that former President Trump said, however,

64
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: he could have pulled out better. All of the jokes

65
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter was saying that his pullout game was weak,

66
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: So it was I won't rehash that. It is what

67
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: it is. H our hearts go out to the all

68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: of the soldiers that we lost in that war. Trillions

69
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: of dollars were spent, thousands of soldiers were lost, and

70
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: I believe over twenty thousand UH soldiers were wounded throughout

71
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: that twenty year war. That really wasn't about ship uh.

72
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: You know, like Pox said, you can't feed the poor,

73
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: but you find money for wars. So it is what

74
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: it is. Americans are left behind, whether it's a couple

75
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 1: of thousand or a couple of hundred. Keep hearing different reports,

76
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: but I know that the veterans are pissed. That part,

77
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: I do know, And that's gonna be interesting to see

78
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: how he maneuvers around that, because veterans are the last

79
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: people that you really want to make upset during election time.

80
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: And I think his defiance, just my personal opinion, came

81
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: from the fact that he didn't even like being questioned. Um,

82
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: and that's concerning you know, a lot of you folks

83
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: didn't like that about President Trump, that when he was

84
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: asked questions, he was defying. And Biden has a history

85
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: of this. He certainly did it with the black civil

86
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: rights leaders at the beginning of the year. Had a

87
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: defying attitude, how dare you ask me anything? Which is

88
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: very different than the Biden on the campaign trail, the

89
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: a k. A healer that's speaking really low in the

90
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: mic and leaning in and whispering. We're seeing a different

91
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 1: side now, to be honest with you, because you guys

92
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: know me, I always appreciate the gangster and somebody that says, hey,

93
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I said what I said,

94
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: So I always, you know, have some have some respect

95
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: at least for him standing on his position. My problem

96
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: is you're not giving that same energy to black people,

97
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: and so black people are also standing on their position,

98
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: or at least some of us are, and they did that.

99
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: On last week a few, more than a few called

100
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: out President Biden and his lack of promises of black folks.

101
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: It's interesting because the white liberals are calling him out

102
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: for voting rights and I'm sorry, not voting rights, but infrastructure.

103
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: But I don't see a lot of these alleged allies

104
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: standing firm with black people and saying, why didn't you

105
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: keep the promises? Why don't you have black folks back?

106
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: That's what I find very interesting. But yet when it

107
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: was time to vote, it was trust black women and

108
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: black women are gonna save America black women as black

109
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: women that where are these allies that now? And that's

110
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: why I always tell you guys on this show, I

111
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: don't want to know allies. I want straight up soldiers.

112
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm an M sixty gunner myself, former M sixty gunner

113
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: for the Air Force, and I understand what it means

114
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: to have skin in the game. Anybody can be an ally.

115
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: That's somebody that says they they support, but when it

116
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: really comes down to putting in work, are you gonna

117
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: do it? Anybody can be an accomplice because technically, if

118
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: you commit a murder and I drive you to that murder,

119
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: and I can be an accomplished because I drove you,

120
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: but I never really pulled the trigger. So when I

121
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: get um in the police station, I can say, well,

122
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I drove him, but he put me under pressure. I

123
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: can make an excuse and technically I don't. At the

124
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: same amount of time, I may or I may not,

125
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: depending on how much I tell, but a soldier it's

126
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: also gonna pull the trick of the soldier get the

127
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: same consequence that I get. And that's the reason why

128
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't deal with an allies and accomplices. Damn all

129
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: of that. I want straight up soldiers. Now. It is

130
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: important that we have allies and accomplices. I'm just talking

131
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: about me. Shout out to killing Mike, thehomie that's always

132
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: talking about allies. Shout out to Tamika Mallory that's always

133
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: talking about we need accomplices. I believe they have their

134
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: roles in that. I believe we need allies and accomplices.

135
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: But as far as me, Tesla and Figura, I kind

136
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: of just want some soldiers. I'm just looking for just

137
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: a few of you to rock with me and all

138
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: of that collectively. As the collective, we are able to

139
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: push the line, as I say, politics until something happens.

140
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: So you had an opportunity to see, you know, where

141
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: his position is on Afghanistan, how he got out. That's

142
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting to see how he maneuvers around that.

143
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: I really don't believe he's taken responsive ability for the

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: lack of planning. It's been more, Hey, this is war,

145
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: this is what it is. It happens this way, but

146
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: there are some folks that disagree. So I'm gonna really

147
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: sit back and obviously keep you guys updated to see

148
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: how he switches that game up as we move forward

149
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: to the med terms. Now moving on, a couple other

150
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: things went down. Uh Texas. You saw my last UM

151
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: show with Dominicue Galaxanda. We talked about Texas voting rights,

152
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: and they have now passed those rights. So it looks

153
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: like the three Democrats that folded that went back and said, oh, well,

154
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: you know, it was all about making a statement that

155
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: went back to help the Republicans with the quorum, have

156
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: now moved forward on that piece of legislation. So interesting.

157
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: I guess all of the crying and singing and marching

158
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: and praying for their soul, I guess it didn't work

159
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: out too well. Republicans kept on being Republicans and they

160
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: pushed forward. And it's one thing about these Texas conservatives,

161
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: they are not playing no damn game between voting rights

162
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: and also abortion again. I'm recording this Wednesday, September one,

163
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: and abortion has now been banned in the state of Texas.

164
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: That says that a private citizen, anybody can sue anybody

165
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: for getting an abortion. You can sue the person that

166
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: the accomplice if you will, that's driving you, the uber driver.

167
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: Somebody on my Instagram said, well, how did the uber

168
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: driver know that they're getting an abortion? Well, that's the

169
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: reason why the law is so stupid, because how do

170
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: they know. They could just be dropping somebody off their

171
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: work at work. How do they know? But that's the point.

172
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: They made this law so broad. What they call it

173
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: just a one swath of not really you know, drilling

174
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: down on the details. And it's really to make a

175
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: statement that, hey, conservatives wish Texas Democrats would try to

176
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: take this ship over. Beato when he ran UH there

177
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: was a likelihood that Texas could one day possibly be

178
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: blue me owning homes in Texas, I understand Texas. I've

179
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: lived in Texas, UH, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Chicago, Oklahoma City,

180
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: several places in Texas has always believed that they are

181
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: on an island by themselves. Texas believes in conservative values.

182
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Even liberals benefit off of the Texas economy. Texas in

183
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight was the only state that had

184
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: more jobs in all state combined when everyone else was

185
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: going through a recession. So although you hear folks complaining

186
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: about conservative viewpoints, UH, many in Texas enjoy living in

187
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: Texas because of the right to carry, because felons have

188
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: an opportunity to work here more so than other states,

189
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: because the house of the cost of living is so low,

190
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: because you can build uh from the ground up for

191
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: a reasonable price, because there's so much land. So Texas

192
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: it's very interesting place, and a lot of folks have

193
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: moved all over the country to come to Texas. So

194
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see how this liberal uh,

195
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: this anti liberal band of abortion uh takes place. You know,

196
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: one of the people on my Instagram and I talked

197
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: to my instagram folks. A lot y'll probably on my Instagram,

198
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: so you know, I engage And one person said, you know,

199
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: but that's why voting matters. Well, this is who people

200
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: voted for in Texas. Texas votes um leans pretty right.

201
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: The small group of Democrats that do represent Texas don't

202
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: really have any power, and that's the reason why they

203
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: went on this on the on the run, if you will,

204
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: because they knew they didn't have the numbers, so the

205
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: only thing they could do was to prevent them from voting,

206
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: having a corn which I really respect because it just

207
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: shows other Democrats that say, oh, I can't do nothing.

208
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: Republicans gonna let me do something. You can always do

209
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: something if it ain't nothing else refusing to vote. So

210
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: this is what Texas wants. I wanted to spell a

211
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: couple of myths. You know, there's a lot of conversation.

212
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: You know, there are such things as black conservatives, and

213
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: I want to be fair to say that everybody who

214
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: is against abortion is not white. If you will, um,

215
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: various ethnic groups, Hispanics, A lot of Catholic Hispanics are

216
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: against abortion. Um, you will see that in Texas, you

217
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: will see that in Florida. This is not just oh,

218
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: it's just against the black and brown people, because you

219
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: really have to pay attention to how people vote. And

220
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: I talked about that today on B and C a

221
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: little bit Black News Channel, which is this is when

222
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: we talk about voting rights, some kind of moving over

223
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: the voting rights of just want to tag that in

224
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: here because it's relevant to this conversation. And they say

225
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: against black people, are against black and brown everything is

226
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: not always a black and brown people of color thing.

227
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's really just black people. Because black people is

228
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: the are the only definite group that votes Democrat. Uh.

229
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: Nine of the time. Hispanics uh split their vote between California.

230
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Look at Hispanic Latino voters in California who vote liberal

231
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: compared to Latino voters in Florida who vote conservatively. Um.

232
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: Look at Texas huge Latino population that often votes conservatively.

233
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: So black people are the only ones. So when we

234
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: talk about restrictive voting rights and who it really affects,

235
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: it's black people. Let's just call it what it is.

236
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: It's black people. And when you hear this myth that

237
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: it's always just about getting an I D, that's just

238
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: simply not true. It's making it harder for people who

239
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: want to assist the elderly. If I want to take

240
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: an elderly person to the polls, I need to fill

241
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: out a form. I have to say my relationship to

242
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: that person. We know, damn well, black people don't trust

243
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: the government with the information that way. People don't want

244
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: to do that. We don't want the government in our

245
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: business unnecessarily, which I'm gonna be honest with you, that

246
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: kind of makes us hypocritical on a lot of things

247
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: because we like big government when it suits us. But

248
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: then when it comes to that, we want to say, oh,

249
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: I want my individual rights, but I'm trying to be

250
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: fair and also realistic with the concerns you know of

251
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: black people. Also, when you fell out your ballot, instead

252
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: of doing a signature, uh, you know, matching the signature,

253
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: they want you to put your idea on it. Many

254
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: people who have tickets, who have warrants, they're not gonna

255
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: want to do that. That's the bottom line. So you

256
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: are restricting even though technically it's nothing they can do

257
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: with it. Who's gonna do that knowing that there's a

258
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: possibility that they could get in some type of trouble.

259
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: Not to say that what happened, But you know how

260
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: we do y'all. We don't want to give nobody no

261
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: information unless it's necessary. So that is restricting a great

262
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: deal amount of people. When we talk about ending the

263
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: twenty four hour voting, that really did help a lot

264
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: of people. My cousin who voted in Houston, I remember

265
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: she put a Facebook post up and said, man, they

266
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: should keep this twenty four our voting forever because she

267
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: worked two jobs. So what about people to get off

268
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock at night, eleven o'clock at night, who

269
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: want to drop out a pole that helped out a

270
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: lot of people in Harris County when we talk about

271
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: um the drive through voting that helped a lot of

272
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: people in Harris County. And they know this, and they

273
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: know that Texas is on the verge of possibly going blue, purple,

274
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: and then possibly blue. So conservatives are making it known

275
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: that they are in charge. They're regardless of whatever y'all

276
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: doing all over the country, know that Texas will still

277
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: be Texas. Don't mess with Texas. And it's gonna be

278
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: interesting to see how many other states follow suit with this,

279
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: It really is. And what a Democrat saying about this

280
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: on the federal level, are they gonna carve out voting

281
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: rights to in the field of us? So where is

282
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: biting on this? It's almost like he's just totally just

283
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: tapped out on this particular subject. Everything is infrastructure, infrastructure, infrastructure,

284
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: everything is Afghanistan. What about voting rights? But you know

285
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: what I said today on being to see at the

286
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: end of the day, Biden, if you don't want the job.

287
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: Just tell us bottom line, because somebody's gonna have to

288
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: explain to me why we are begging Democrats to keep

289
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: their power, because that's literally what you're doing. You're begging

290
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: Democrats to keep their power. Hey, hey, let me vote

291
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: for you, let's march, let me beg let me vote

292
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: for you. Well, if they don't give a damn, why

293
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: should I give a damn? Yes, I know that it

294
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: ultimately will hurt my people, but I'm trying to figure

295
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: out explain. Somebody got explain to me why they're not

296
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: even more motivated to carve out voting right so they

297
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: can keep their damn job. Something about this just doesn't

298
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: make sense. It doesn't make sense. I normally get on

299
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: local politicians for not speaking up, but because we saw

300
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: how Texas Democrats have stood firmed this time, local and

301
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: state politicians said something, they challenged this party, and yet

302
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: the Biden administration says nothing. I want you guys to

303
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: know that this is why for those of you have

304
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: been following me and know I've taken a lot of

305
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: heat from folks who said, oh, you're just helping out

306
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: their Republicans because y'all were so damn blinded by Trump. No,

307
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: not at all. I've been talking about this ship for

308
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: over a decade plus. I learned how crappy Democrats were

309
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: from living in Florida and working with so many different candidates.

310
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: I work with a lot of candidates. I don't talk

311
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: about everybody I work with. I don't tell you everybody

312
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: I train, everybody, I consult, every media I've booked. But

313
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: I have only worked for Democrat candidates only, with the

314
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: exception of one judge who was kind of they would

315
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: say conservative, but judges running nonpartisan seats or it wasn't

316
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: a partisan seat. But I've only worked for Democrats and

317
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: everything that I have learned on how they ship on

318
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: local and state candidates. They don't give them the resources,

319
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: they don't give them the money, they don't give them

320
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: access of things. They don't promote them, they don't put

321
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: them on their pamphlets, they don't put them on their brochures,

322
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: they don't um donate for them, they don't raise money

323
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: for them. They they completely shipped on these candidates. I

324
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: learned that by working on these campaigns. So what I'm

325
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: telling you is what I know, not what I heard.

326
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: What I'm telling you is usually what a candidate put

327
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: in my ear, and they know they can't do it

328
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: because they don't want to destroy the relationships, so they

329
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: give it to me to run the ball. What you're

330
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: seeing is right now on the federal level is what

331
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: local candidates have had to deal with for years, being

332
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: completely ignored by the federal level. Who comes through when

333
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: they run for president, use them up for a bunch

334
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: of pictures, ride off in the sunset, and don't give

335
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: him a damn thing. And that's the part that pisces

336
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: me off about this voting rights. It's not that if

337
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden gets re elected, I could give a ship

338
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: if he gets reelected. What bothers me is I know

339
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: good commissioners, good state senators, state level senators, good representatives

340
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: who really do serve their community. Do you realize that

341
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: Texas Democrats are Texas representative period only makes they make

342
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: less than eight thousand dollars a year. Now, they give

343
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: many perks, they give men hook ups, they get back

344
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: to our contracts. I don't want to make it seem

345
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: like they just the down, try and poor. They'll try

346
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: to make you believe that, but that's for another show.

347
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: But there are really, really good representatives that really work

348
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: hard for their districts, and when people do this at

349
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: the federal level, it hurts them because people will not

350
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: come out to vote. It's already hard enough to get

351
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: people out for a mere term in a non presidential year.

352
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: So when you do voter depression by not giving people

353
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: a reason to vote, and then you have voter suppression

354
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: coupled together, you are guaranteeing a slaughter on next year, guaranteed.

355
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: I was talking to one of my clients. He said, Oh,

356
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be a slaughter, Tess. He's

357
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: real optimistic, and I told him it's it's gonna be

358
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: a slaughter. Bottom line, let's stop the bullshit. Conservatives are

359
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: not playing games or redistricting. They're not playing games with

360
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: these new laws. They're not playing games with still pushing

361
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: a heavy line all the way from the Santists in Florida,

362
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: who's looking like a damn food fighting the teachers. They

363
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: don't give a damn. Trump is organizing every day all day.

364
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: They've raised far more money than Democrats. These people ain't

365
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: playing with you. They're not playing with you. So I asked,

366
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: what are you doing, Biden? And for those of you

367
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: to say quick talking about the Democrats, Quit talking about

368
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: the who who are you for? At some point you're

369
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: gonna have to love black people more than you love Biden.

370
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: At some point, you're gonna have to love black people

371
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: more than you love a Democrat at some point. Otherwise

372
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep going in the same circle over and over.

373
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm an independent. I believe the black people in states

374
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: that do not require voter party affiliation to register as independence,

375
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: meaning if you have open primaries, you can be whatever

376
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: you want to be until you go In Texas as

377
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: an example, when you register, you're not registered in with

378
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: any particular party. You decide who you are today, you

379
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: go in and vote. And I think that's how it

380
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: should be everywhere, because as long as they keep knowing that,

381
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to line up and continue to be

382
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: available to be lied to, cheated on. It ain't no

383
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: difference in that man that came to your house last

384
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: week after he left the club and said he gonna

385
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: get it together and went on home to his wife.

386
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: It ain't no difference. You keep hoping and believing it

387
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: it's gonna be some different, but it's not. It is

388
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: what it is a man and a woman to only

389
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: do what you allowed him to do. When I talk

390
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: to people all the time and they say, oh, I

391
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: can't believe he did her like that, well, I can't

392
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: believe she allowed it. At the end of the day,

393
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: you have to be able to accept responsibility. I do

394
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: you do? All of us do. It's been some ship

395
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: I put up within my relationships, and I blame myself.

396
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: I hold myself accountable down telling why did you put

397
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: up with that? Because at the end of the day,

398
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: people can only do what you allow. And so until

399
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: we start thinking that way, our numbers would never change.

400
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: Until we started looking that way, nothing about this will change.

401
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Until we started saying no, hold up, we're gonna do

402
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: something different, nothing will change. And when I say do

403
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: something different, I'm talking about don't chase them, it's time

404
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: to replace them. I'm gonna keep on repeating that. With

405
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: that said, I'm doing my part. We all have our

406
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: own part. I'm just one person with a decent platform.

407
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say a major platform, but a decent platform,

408
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: and I'm doing all I can do. I'm on TV

409
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: every day giving them the business. I'm doing this podcast,

410
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: giving them the business. I work with several clients who

411
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: do this work every day. Shout out to the George

413
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: a plecthor of clients. Something I mentioned something I don't

414
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: just trying to make sure that we're continuing that that

415
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm keeping my hands dirty, that I'm keeping my hands

416
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: in the in the grind, I'm keeping my foot on

417
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: the on my my feet on the ground. In addition

418
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: to that, I trained dozens of people every month. With

419
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: that said, I'm going to do another free training for

420

Speaker 1: you guys. Last time we had over two seventy five

421
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: people to show up for that training, which told me

422
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: that was amazing because I just promoted on Instagram. I

423
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: didn't put it on Facebook, Twitter or anything. So I'm

424
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: excited to see with three weeks of advertising will do

425
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: now that I'm actually putting it on Facebook, putting it

426
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter, that training will be. I invite you to it.

427
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: It's on September at five pm Eastern. It's called we

428
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: Outside Ground Pound Training. It's focusing on how you need

429
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: to have your You should be the first boot on

430
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: the ground if you expect soldiers to follow you. It's

431
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: a lot of races being lost because people are not

432
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: understanding ground game, and I want to give you some wisdom,

433
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: some gems that I have learned that I've observed from

434
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: other candidates that I think will help you. At first,

435
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I'm just I'm not gonna keep

436
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: opening up this training to the public. But not because

437
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: of money standpoint, not at all. But I wanted people serious,

438
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: you know, to come to the training. But now I

439

440
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: I gotta do my part. I can't. I have to

Speaker 1: make sure that I'm pouring into somebody. So that's my part,

452
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: hating ship online. But at the end of the day,

453
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: I am so proud to be a part of a

454
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: network where I can talk about black people every time

455

456
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: always done that period with Fox, but it's different when

457
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: the name is Black News Channel. Um, it just hits difference.

458
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,000

461
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: for that. But it is the only twenty four hour

462
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: news channel that focuses on black issues. That's it. That's all.

463
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: When I say news channel, that means on your cable listens,

464
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: make sure you look you have BNC more than likely

465
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: look for B n C, not Black News Channel, but

466
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: the just B and C and you probably have it.

467
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: If you have a T and T, if you have Exfinity,

468
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: if you have comcasts, you definitely have BENC. So tune

469
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: into that guy's because it's a real news and network

470
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: with a real building and real cameras and real reporters

471
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: that went to school to be reporters. Were not a

472
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: gossip station, but really about delivering the news and it's

473
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: important that we have those outlets. And it's not hating

474
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: on nobody who does YouTube platforms, not at all. But

475
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: I do have an issue when I see people on

476
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: YouTube talking about, oh, well, you know, black news channel

477
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: is not black owned. What neither is YouTube? Neither is YouTube.

478
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, white folks on

479
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: all this ship and we saw what I said. I

480
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: want to say because I'm on YouTube, No you can't,

481
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: because they check your algorithms. They'll they'll put your channel down,

482
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: they'll mute you, they'll put you shut you down too.

483
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: So let's stop this competition. And BNC is not competing

484
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: with you. Their competitors is Fox seeing then and MSNBC.

485
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: You do you and I do me. You can have

486
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: a podcast, and you can have a show, you can

487
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: do all of that. The point is that you're doing

488
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: outreached to our people. And when people spend more time

489
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: on that than I wonder, are you really about outreach

490
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: our people? Are you about just controlling the narrative so

491
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: that you have more views for your check. That's just

492
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: a question. But you know, my style is not calling

493
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: folks out. I like to call that power, not people

494
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: on the microphone. Because at the end of the day,

495
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: they can't write no bills and they can't change no legislation,

496
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm concerned about. But I did need

497
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: to say that because there is a intentional narrative about

498
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: being c only being online, and that's just simply not true.

499
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: Their network and they're online also to be able to

500
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: touch everybody, and it's an organization that I'm proud to

501
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: be affiliated with. So with that said, as promise, I'm

502
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: always gonna keep this right at thirty minute marks so

503
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: that I'm not talking my head off, but long enough

504
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: for you to go in the gym, work work out

505
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: while you live and it this are just kind of

506
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: rolled around. I definitely appreciate your support. We have interviews

507
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: coming back next week. Every other week, I'm gonna try

508
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: to give you this commentary to give you something to

509
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: think about, give you something to chew on, and let

00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: me know if you like it or if there's something

511
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: else that you think I need to be covering. So again, guys,
