1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: What's good? Straight shooters, this is your girl's heaselin figure,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: oh host a straight shot, no chaser. Well, America has

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: finally spoken and the next President of the United States

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden. And America made history by electing the

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: first black woman as Vice President of the United States,

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: Senator Kamala Harris. Last week I provided you a post

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: election recap. If you haven't heard it, please go back

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: and check it out. This week, I want to take

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: a moment to talk about what do we do next

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: the three bees, which is break, build, and back to

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: business Number one. Break. I normally say not to get

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: caught up in celebrations too long, but I'm gonna keep

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: it real with your family. After the anxiety that so

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: many of you felt, America deserves a break. Many of

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: you were stressing all day every day. Every time Trump

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: went on Twitter, it stressed you out. I remember not

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: even being able to get through phone calls with my

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: aunt and my grandmother and other family members without them

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: mentioning Trump. So we all deserve a break. We deserve

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: a moment to just reflect and remind ourselves how important

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: our vote is. Now a lot of you are wondering

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: if Trump will really leave office. And this tells me

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: that many of you have believed the hype and believe

24
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: that Trump is actually more powerful than our collective government

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: and our collective power. And yes, although there are many

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: loopholes that could keep him in office, it's damn they're impossible.

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,279
Speaker 1: So I'm concerned that the level of anxiety that Trump

28
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: has given so many of you, even now after an election,

29
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: it is hard for you to believe. So I want

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: to ask that you take a mental break and reflect,

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: turn off the TV, stay away from social media if

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: it's causing you more anxiety. It's unnecessary. The people have spoken,

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: America will move forward, work, and Joe Biden will assume

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: office on January number two. Build Remember last week I

35
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: talked about building power, where there are many ways to

36
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: do that, but right now I want to talk about

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: one way we build power, which is by taking control

38
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: of the Senate. Now that applies if you are a

39
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Democrat or an independent that leans left like myself. I

40
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: do realize I have Republican listeners, and you're welcome to

41
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: vote for a Republican if need be. My point is

42
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: I just want you to be involved. So how do

43
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: we do that with Georgia. The runoff election is January five.

44
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Early voting is December fourteenth. You can request an absentee

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: ballot by November five, And if you have not registered

46
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: to vote, don't feel judged, and please don't let pride

47
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: get in the way. You have until December seven to

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: register to vote. Remember, a president is only successful if

49
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: he has the majority of the Senate and the majority

50
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: of the House of Representatives. Now let translate that from

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: my g homies. What that means is the president is

52
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: the O G, the Senate is the Y G, and

53
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives are the bgs. Everyone in the

54
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: set must push the line in order to protect the territory.

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: So all eyes are on Georgia. But we have more

56
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: elections next year to come, and in the Midtterns in

57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty two. But no worries, I got you

58
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: all the way through the process. Just stay subscribed to

59
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: straight Shot No Chase number three. Back to business. Okay,

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: so you've taken your break and now you have figured

61
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: out how you want to build. But you know what

62
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: usually happens at this point most people just stop. In

63
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: other words, they don't walk it like they talk it.

64
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: You have to put these things in place and in action.

65
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: If you want to see the change in your community,

66
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: don't just talk on the internet. Be a frontline soldier.

67
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Last week, I'll posted a message that said that people

68
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: on the internet would rather be right when they say

69
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: change is not possible, rather than get all their ass

70
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: and make change your possibility. So in order to make

71
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: change of possibility, you have to get involved and get active.

72
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: You cannot just stand on the sidelines and tell everyone

73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: else how to play the game. Get involved, be a player.

74
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: I'll meet you in the field now. One last thing,

75
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: stop allowing Trump to live in your head. And I'm

76
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: not being funny when i say that, but it is

77
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: clear that many of you are traumatized that you are

78
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: finding it a challenge to move on. You talk about

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Trump despite the fact that Biden has won. Many of

80
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: you are addicted to talking about Trump. Let that trauma

81
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: go and move on. Move on for yourself, move on

82
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: for your children, move on for your community. Now, I'm

83
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: not saying move on and go back to sleep. No,

84
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: we must continue to stay woke. And I'm not saying

85
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden or Senator Harris is our savior. And

86
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not saying that every issue in America will

87
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: magically fade away. What I am saying is that at

88
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: least we won't have a president on Twitter tweeting all

89
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: day long. What I am saying is that, just like

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: in life, if you are blessed to live another day,

91
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: then that is another day to push for change. Before

92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: our close, I want to thank each and every one

93
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,559
Speaker 1: of you for keeping our podcasts on the top two

94
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: hundred in society and culture. That is not easy to

95
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: do because there are millions of podcasts. But you, by listening, subscribing, sharing,

96
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: writing a review, rating, you put us in the top

97
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: charts in the first thirty days of launching. That is

98
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: a huge accomplishment and you should be very proud. I

99
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: am well aware that I do not do this by myself.

100
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: Shout out to my producers, Duwayne Marcy, the entire family

101
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: at Black Effect Podcast Network and I Heart Radio and

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: special shout out to Charlemagne the God for believing in

103
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: the power of black voices and using his power and

104
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: influence to create Black Effect Podcast Network. So please do

105
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: me a favor. If you haven't did it yet, please

106
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: rate the podcast, write a review on Apple, and invite

107
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: your friends. Remember again, each vote counts, each number counts,

108
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: and you better believe in the age of information, numbers

109
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: don't lie. Now you may ask why the number is important, Well,

110
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: did you know that the majority of podcast listeners are white?

111
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: Not to mention, most podcasts are not information driven. A

112
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: lot of podcasts are comedy, music, entertainment, and I'm not

113
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: knocking that, but I want you to know the huge

114
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: accomplishment that we have accomplished by being able to compete

115
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: pretty much in an entertainment category and stay in the

116
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: top two hundred. What does that tell me. It doesn't

117
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 1: tell me that this podcast is needed. What it tells

118
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: me is that this podcast is absolutely necessary, and in

119
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: order to stay in the top charts, I need your health. Family.

120
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: Would you join me by being a straight Shooter partner,

121
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: not just by listening to the show, but also sharing

122
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: with a friend. Well, next week, I'm gonna get back

123
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: to interviewing guests from every walk of life, and I

124
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: want you to know that I have walked in many

125
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: of your shoes. Not every situation, but similar and if

126
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't me, it was someone that I know. And

127
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: that's important to me because it is always my goal

128
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: that you know you are not walking along. This is

129
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Tesla Figaro And like I always say, use it, lose it,

130
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: but I can't make it, choose it, and believe it

131
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: or not, America has chosen the next president of the

132
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: United States
