Flame is back and takes the mic without missing a beat! Fired-up and ready to go, the show starts with Flame recognizing President Joe Biden’s first speech to a joint session of Congress. Mr. Biden focused on the economy and made the argument that a robust spending and jobs plan is crucial to the U.S. economy competing globally. Senator Tim Scott, 55, gave the rebuttal. He is the first African American U.S. senator from South Carolina and was the first Black person elected to the Senate from a Southern state since Reconstruction. Sen. Scott’s remarks have been widely ridiculed and the subject of memes that have gone viral; the Flamettes have a lot to say about his speech too. New Voting Rights Bills being pushed by legislators are controversial to many. A number of voting rights groups say the restrictions passed by Georgia, and being weighed in Texas and Arizona among other states, target Black people and other racial minorities. The Republican-backed Georgia law strengthened identification requirements for absentee ballots, shortened early voting periods for runoffs and made it a misdemeanor for members of the public to offer food and water to voters waiting in line. The push for policing reform leads to a policy change in New Jersey - could it be a model for the rest of the country? In closing, Flame & Lauren give a shout out to @allysonlewislakeland and asks listeners to check out their page and give their positions a listen; Nick reminds everyone to give Mother’s a call and/or hug for their special day this Sunday!
