Speaker 3 (02:40):
Can't see me.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
H yeah, of politics. I don't know if that makes
me stone cold because I'm a redneck.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I feel like more like a triple H vibe, you know,
just like get some come, come, it's time.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
To play the game. Yep, there it is. That's that's.
That's all that.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Okay, that's in the show with the podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh yeah, welcome despite all the news that we still
need to cover with it being political season in Mississippi
and on the national level, with all the crap that's
going on there. Uh, and we might dive into some
of the national politics towards the end of the show,
but we have some of the craziest breaking news coming
(03:39):
out of Mississippi this week, to the point where we
just had to dedicate an episode to it because, uh,
when I started this podcast with all the national news,
some of you might have forgotten, but I started this
podcast to touch on that national news, yes, but to
(04:01):
also help people keep in touch with Mississippi politics, and
Mississippi decided to throw me a massive curveball with all
the national news I have still yet to cover on
this show, like poor mister Kennedy, and we might get
to him towards the end of this episode. But you know,
(04:23):
the corruption of Mississippi is on full display this week,
and it's been around for a bit, but it made
a lot of headway today with the breaking news that
a certain bill is out of committee and it's going
to the Senate, and the fact that it's going out
of committee tells me that it is indeed a corrupt move. So,
(04:47):
for those who don't know a bit of the origins
of this show, the origins of this show started a
long time ago. But let's fast forward through turning point
when me and Graves met to when I was helping
and volunteering for the Chris McDaniel's campaign for Lieutenant governor,
(05:11):
a very controversial figure in Mississippi politics, but I am
a proud enjoyed my time working with him. We fought
a good fight to try and stop Delbert Hoseman from
retaining the most powerful position in the state of Mississippi,
and Delbert's showing everybody that they were wrong for voting
(05:35):
for him this week. Oh my gosh, has he outdone himself.
When he's not trying to get trans rights and men
in being able to go into women's bathrooms, it seems
like he's defending corruption.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, I remember you saying right after well, I mean
it was when I first started coming on and we
were talking about him a little bit. You said that
he was a rhino.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
You said that, you know, he he was gonna be
corrupt or was corrupt, or you know, stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Like this was gonna happen. And now here we are.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
I mean, really, I didn't think it was going to
be this out in public.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But I thought he was going to do what he
did during his first term as lieutenant, which was past
one major conservative law and passed these small liberal laws.
It's what he's been doing in the past four years.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Ago.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Look at the Senate and the main stuff that's getting
passed is really conservative, none of it. You know, you
might have a conservative win here there so that he
can look back at his voters and be like I
did that, but he also said I stopped the the
transgender men going into a women's bathrooms thing when that
(06:58):
came out of one of his committees. But you know,
when the when the Democrats are saying, don't run, don't
have anybody who challenged Delbert, you know, yeah, and when
the Democrats are endorsing you over another conservative, maybe it's
(07:21):
time to step back and reflect. But luckily for us,
we don't. He doesn't have to we can. So where
this story picks up is in with our state auditor,
Shade White, who I'll admit freeingly admit I had my
doubts about which have been completely thrown away with I'm
(07:46):
one of those people action speak louder than words. And
Orditor White has taken the fight to corruption here in Mississippi.
And I can't respect him enough for that because now
his whole office is under attack. Not him, heck, not
(08:06):
even his family, which they do both get attacked later.
Let's not forget that. But the office of Auditor in
Mississippi is under attack. That is how pissed they are
that he's calling them out. So this dates back to
the Welfall scandal. And we'll go over this and again.
(08:27):
I have two articles mainly right now we're gonna use
as talking points. And this is not a topic that
will be over in one episode.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It was such a big keep happening.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's gonna keep happening again. I'm hoping to come back
strong with another episode next week. I won't say that
this will be the focus of it. I'm not saying
Hunter's laptop is not gonna be the focus of it
because we have so much stuff to go. Oh, it's
the busy season, so heck, if I'm feeling well, we
(09:06):
might try to film two episodes because this is just
bonkers of a week. But so to do the wink
wink title of the episode, to quote State Auditor Shade White,
at a time when President Trump is cutting government fat,
(09:27):
Mississippi swamp creatures and establishment politicians are trying to stop
me from finding waste theft of taxpayer funds and tax
theft or taxpayer funds, you might as well call this
the Mississippi Corruption Act of twenty twenty five. But what
is he talking about? Senate Bill twenty eight forty seven
(09:52):
was assigned to the Accountability, Effectancy, and Transparency Committee. Isn't
that some irony? This bill will strip away the auditor's
power to perform audits on some nonprofit and poor profit
company spending taxpayer money. The State orders used used its
(10:16):
ability to audit for profit companies receiving taxpayers dollars to
investigate a large pharmacy benefit man or benefit manager in
twenty twenty, which resulted in the largest civil recovery five
hundred million of fifty five million in the history of
(10:38):
the Office of the State Auditor. The welfare scandal, the
largest public fraud scheme in state history, was only stopped
because the Auditor's office could audit these kind of entities.
So they're taking so the welfare scandal, Oh, they could
have gotten away with that, and that's what they're trying
(11:01):
to do. They're trying to get more money for themselves.
But also they're going to remove audit for government waste,
so he can't.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
They just don't want you to see where the yeah,
possible I'm gonna use that possible money laundering, possible corruption. Uh.
You know that welfare stuff has to do with Brett
Fahr as well, you know, and Phil Bryant. Uh, so
you know it goes a long way. Delburt's been there
(11:34):
for a while, and he's trying to cover for all
of them.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Oh yeah, and we will connect this back to Delbert
in a bit that's in another article. This is just
the icing on the cake. This is like a summary.
Let's see here. Because Auditor White just release an audit
finding three and thirty five million dollars in waste in
the state government. This bill would take away the off
(12:02):
sibility to perform these audits for waste. They also would
strip its power to file suit to get back stolen
or mis spent taxpayer funds. Last year, State ordered a
White filed suit to get some welfare money, and the
Attorney General, lynch Lynn Finch, sued White to stop him.
(12:29):
The court ruled White had his authority. This bill will
remove White's authority to file these suit. So again, now
we have a second corrupt politician being outed here. Our
attorney general, I'll say it louder for the people in
the back. Our attorney general filed a lawsuit to try
(12:52):
to stop him. It was overturned via his power to
actually do this. But now they're stripping it away. Why well,
she probably got an old Delbert's ear because again, you
cannot convince me, Delbert's in the most powerful seat in
the Mississippi government. You cannot tell me he didn't know
(13:13):
about this. You cannot tell me that he didn't plead
for this behind closed doors. Will never have confirmation. That's
one of the cool things about being lieutenant governor. You
can pay power man behind the scenes. People will know
it's from you without you having to put your foot
in your mouth. So Delbert is knowing what he's doing,
(13:36):
and he's trying to keep all his friends happy, because
in my opinion, Delbert's the lead rhino here in Mississippi. Hi, Delbert,
I hope you're listening. Sooo sorry, still got COVID so
that bill would take it all away again. This Senate
bill just got out of committee today, Senate Bill twenty
(13:59):
eight forty seven. And before we go any farther, I
do have a quote from Shade White's Facebook about how
he feels about this and what he kind of wants
people to do to fight back. And I thought, you know,
if we're gonna be talking about this, we might as
well give everybody what Shade is asking them to do
(14:20):
to fight back. So he wants people to know, he said,
updating bad news Lieutenant Governor Delborostman City Senate Committee just
passed the Mississippi Corruption Act. The committee chair acknowledged that
he wrote the bill with Attorney General Finch, So that's
(14:45):
public now. This is a bit older article that I
was reading, So it's public now that our attorney general
was a part of this corruption bill. Knowledge no, because
the committee chair, we are on the prepospice of going
(15:07):
or for fighting or for going pe. We are on
the preface I have COVID and I have dyslexia, kill
me going back. This is this is why you hear
Graves to correct my bad pronunciation. Being the most corrupt
(15:29):
state in the country. The bill now heads to the
Senate floor. Call Lieutenant Governor Hoseman, now if you oppose
the corruption bill Senate Bill twenty eight forty seven. And
here's his phone number six oh one three five nine
three two zero, So I will be calling that tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
See, I want to know. I want to know.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Said anything I can see, even out a tweet or
any type of public statement or acknowledgment of all this
going on.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
As he said anything, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Let's let's check.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Because I voted for him twice. But I'm not going
to say he's the best governor in the country. I
think we have gotten some new investment deals, including my mayor,
Hal Ferrell, which you can contact me at six six
' two seven. But no, seriously, we are taking volunteers
(16:32):
for that. We he met with.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Tate Reeves not long ago, and.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
And we are having a twenty one million dollar, two
hundred job investment in my hometown thanks to the meeting
between my mayor and Tate Reeves.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So, oh, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Got to give him credit for that.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, I don't see where he's done. I wouldn't be shocked.
I'm not talking bad about Tate. I'm not saying take's evolved.
Tate is in the second most powerful position in the state.
But again, he's also a politician and knows when to
keep his head out of stuff. You know. I won't
say that Tate is just a die hard conservative on
(17:14):
either of our views Graves.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
But.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I don't think he would approve of this. He might
veto it, he might not. He did just deliver the
state of the state ten hours ago. I haven't watched that.
I don't know if he addresses this whatsoever. I will
(17:41):
have to check, and of course, we have reached out
to Shade White for a opinion. He might drop Tate Reeves.
I mean, I don't know. Mister White is the one
that has dove into the corruption. Now, I don't know
(18:03):
if Tate has spoken out against this or not. I
hope he would, but I don't know for a fact.
I will say this, I hope he does. It's just
(18:24):
a bit of a weird situation to be in, I
will admit. But yeah, No, I am imploring all of
our listeners and asking two things, to call Delbert Hoseman
and to share this episode out some more people will mo.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, because this is something that you know, a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Of times I'm touching on national politics, which probably at
the end of the episode I might, but you know,
this is something that I've really not been involved in Missipeople.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It takes a whole lot, you know, And this is
the first thing where I'm just like, wow, So.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
The corruption in the Republican Party in Mississippi is still real.
It's why we're not the most conservative voting state in
the country when we should be, and you know, it
should be the leader of what is the conservative movement
other than the Trump Maga movement. And there's people like
(19:30):
Delbert that are holding us back and the corruption who
he's trying to swipe it under the rug.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
He wants to kill it obviously.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I mean he's trying to take away Auditor White's power
to even investigate this stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
That tells you right there who's in the wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, and I mean think about it like this. You know,
people ask me a long time ago, why did I think?
And this was before the show, and I might have
mentioned it on the show in earlier episodes, but why
do I think that Mississippi is not leading? Why is
Florida leading? Why is Texas leading? You know, they have
(20:08):
huge liberal cities that holded them back, and they still
make strides for the conservative movement. Yeah, we have Jackson,
we have Oxford.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah, Oxford I think went pretty much purple this last time,
a little bit red, so.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
You know, and we've already talked about how Jackson is
a crap hole, uh and how their mayor is being
indicted for corruption charges. But yeah, and hopefully we'll have
an update on that. But there's so much news going on.
But we we've talked about Derwott on this show before.
(20:52):
The thing that's going around the circle again is that
Delbert was vice president of an abortion clinic, the first
abortion clinic in Mississippi, while being pro life.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
So it's a little contradictory.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Big contradictory. Delbert will say he was just a lawyer
for them, which again, you can pick and choose your
clientele if you could. Yeah, you wouldn't be vice president
with your name on the Secretary of State's website this
(21:31):
public record, and people were like, it's dissolved, it doesn't matter.
It was in the seventies. I don't care. And that
also proves how old Delbert is. But yeah, you know,
I don't care if it was dissolved in the seventies.
What I care is that he was vice president listed.
(21:55):
And so again that's making the rounds. Well, who told
you all that Chris McDaniel is the one that found
this He is the one that found this document and
put it out there, but no one cared. And we're
getting a bit off track, So we'll take a commercial
break in a bit and I'll get back on the story.
But I am taking a point of privilege.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Oh, I mean, I think it's you know, what we
should do, just talk about, like, you know, not just
the headlines. You know, we're kind of talking about the
past or kind of intertwining everything. You know, it's really
it's been going on for a long time. Phil Bryant
hasn't been governor in a little while now, so.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, and I mean, I love Phil, but he's been
indicted on the welfare scandal as well. I mean, I
like Phil because all the stuff he did for dyslexia,
because that helped me. But you know, and we did
make strives in that category, and he might not be involved.
(22:58):
I haven't. We haven't checked, we haven't done an update
on that story in a while. But Delbert has been
involved in politics for a while. This might be his
second term as lieutenant governor, but he's been involved in
politics for a while. So it's to your conclusion that
you can make that Mississippi has been a corrupt political
(23:20):
establishment for a while. I wouldn't say it beat out Washington,
but we've definitely been there and it's a sad fact
that we have fought it. We have fought it. People
like and I'm not going to refer to this a
lot more, but it's because I know so much of this.
(23:40):
Chris McDaniel fought tooth and nail for the three terms
he was in office for a senator when he fought
Delbert Hoseman for lieutenant governor and then told everybody that
Delbert was a rhino. That he came up with the
slogan Delbert the Democrat wasn't a campaign slogan, it was
(24:05):
the truth. Delbert is a corrupt politician. He's not who
you think he is. He's not a conservative, he doesn't
have Mississippi's best interest at heart. Why when we have
the super majority, would you want to vote in a
Democrat running as a Republican. But everybody kept telling Chris
Were's though and mud, you're being mean, You're you know,
(24:27):
you shall not tack another Republican quoting Ronald Reagan. And
I love Ronald Reagan, but Ronald Reagan was basically saying,
don't criticize Ronald Reagan when he made that quote. Ronald
Reagan would not have standed for this corruption in the
Republican Party in Mississippi are on the national level, Ronald
(24:47):
Reagan would have called that person out immediately, which is
why we all love Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But people, I mean, Delbert is.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
The definition of lying like a politician. You know, in
in my realm of work, I do, we would literally
just say that he's uh, well, I forgot the word anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Oh it's fine, but you know, let's uh, let's take
a quick commercial break because I have to do more
of these, and we'll just jump right back into it.
All right, we're back and uh. I had to stop
myself or I'd get on a little soap box about this.
(25:45):
But I mean, it is true. We tried to warn
everybody at election time, and everybody was like, don't criticize
the Mississippi Republican Party. Some of them were like, you know,
y'all shouldn't be going after fellow Republicans like this. And
I'll stand by the statement. If they're not acting like Republicans,
if they're not voting like Republicans, if they're not really Republicans,
(26:06):
is it going after a Republican?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I would say.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Note.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
So, it's just the truth has come out, and it's
come out a way people can accept it. I wish
it would have come out during the election. We wouldn't
be in this situation now where the top of government
official in Mississippi is standing in the way of a
corruption investigation and trying to strip the state Auditor of
(26:37):
his powers to investigate corruption. But here we are. But
they say this bill is started to make sure that
the state Auditor, the Secretary of State, and the Attorney
General work closer together. That's why they're stripping of them
as powers. That's a quote from the author.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
By the way, we've had separation and balance of powers
in Mississippi for a long time. I feel like that
would be you know, you're getting rid of the power
of something that has been set for a while.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah, it's just again, it's just trying to stop a
man that's fighting for against corruption. But uh so, when
Shade White released the government waste study last year, it
ruffled a couple of feathers, but it didn't probably have
happened the way he wanted. So Senator Dave Parker, Republican
(27:39):
has filed a bill to seeking to strip the attorney
journals of the powers we stayed at the beginning of
this episode. The bill was sent to Parker's committee, which
again who picks the committee chairman's hooseman and the committee
has called the Accountability, Effectancy and Transparency Committee. Again, the
(28:02):
irony is not lost upon me, and it has now
been sent to the chamber to vote. I think, and
this is a quote from Parker, I think we can
more clearly define financial affairs, and we can more clearly
define what's under the purview of the auditor to clear
(28:22):
up any miscommunications out there. Again, just politicking the crap
out of us, hoping and praying that people don't bite
his head off. But I'm saying everybody's name clear into
the mic. Yep, let's see here again. In December, the
(28:46):
Attorney General's Office released a statement identifying three hundred and
thirty five million dollars in government wasts across thirteen state
agencies they bid out. And again we talked about how
they're removing the state auditor's power to do this. So
(29:07):
it's stupid that they're saying he doesn't have the power
to do this when they're taking away his power to
do this. But he contacted the Boston Consultant Group and
they helped him identify the government waste. In December as well,
the Attorney General's Office released a statement saying White did
not have the authority to contact the Boston Consultant Group
(29:29):
to identify the three thirty five million dollars in government wastes.
Across thirteen state agencies.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
The opinion.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Is just crazy. Again he has the power to do it,
but the state, but our attorney general is like, but
don't do it, because again the bill is taking away
his right to do that. And of course White put
on there and I've already read part of it. But
(30:00):
I think this is another Quo quote. The swamp creatures
of the establishment politicians in Mississippi have sued me to
stop me from recovering welfare money, try to legally stop
me from looking into waste into the state government. And
now have a build a strip this the Order's office
of key powers in this.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
In Mississippi.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
You know that we know about Delbert, at least the
ones that didn't vote for him.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
And I was hoping that I think we.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Actually said this in an earlier episode that we hope
he doesn't be as bad as we think he's going
to be.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
And you know, now we're seeing this.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
I think it's blatant corruption that hopefully he doesn't get
his powers taken away. We can actually get to the
bottom of everything, bring our money back to the state.
Whatever happened to everything, I think Mississippi right now we
have gotten a lot more investments. We're on a track
(31:08):
where if we can keep up with it and keep
the rhinos, you know, Mitt Romney types, Delbert Hoseman types
from being in charge of the state, we're going to
actually become a pretty wealthy state soon.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I think.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
People underestimate us, but we have gotten more investments in
the last year than I've seen in a long time,
and it just seems like it's happening every other week now.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Mississippi is on the rebound. Finally, we're on the right
track to bring our state some wealth. And I will
give Tate and Andy Gibson our agriculture commissions some credit.
We're doing it while keeping the identity of Mississippi as
this small state that just wants to have everybody make
(32:00):
a decent living. We're staying agriculture. We don't want big cities.
We're farmers, we're rednecks. We like it here. Back off,
you know, doing that. I like my land. I like
my land.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Uh, the spirit of Mississippi everybody. But again, you know,
when you have these big money deals, corruption flourishes. But
I think it's obvious that corruption has been flourishing for
a while. And if we don't get these rhinos, because again,
(32:38):
our attorney general has just been outed as one of them.
I had no I had my suspicions, but when someone's
in an office like that, you don't really know if
they're liberal or conservative. You know, they're just they're.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Supposed to be. Yeah, they're supposed to be non partisans. Yeah,
on paper.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
But you know, our attorney general is just out of
the fact that she is corrupt. She is a rhino.
She is, you know, trying to save face, trying to
stop these corruption charges are not charges Me're afraid trying
to stop this this man because she knows why. It's
(33:22):
gonna be like a dog with a bone. He's found
where the corrupt, the money has been spended, wrong waste. Well,
now let's see if there's any corruption tied to it.
And I think that's got everybody scared. And now you're
seeing an engrossment abuse of power by the by the
(33:42):
Lieutenant governor. And this goes on.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Ahead, and you know, I wonder how how far it
goes though. You know, people that are in the state legislature.
It can't only be the people of the.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Very like there. There's got to be others.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
So and I just hope for the sake of Mississippi
and for the people because just like releasing the JFK files,
MLK files and stuff, Sure a lot of them might
be redacted, but there's still some information in there, and like,
the people deserve to know whether their government, federally or
(34:21):
state level, is doing at all costs.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Where their taxes are going. That's why I love Doge.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
And after, you know, right before we end, I do
want to touch on some of that.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
That'll be the only thing federal.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
But yeah, that's fine because I want to touch I
hate corruption, I hate government wasting our money, I hate lives.
You know, if it's for you know, well, we have
you know, this country, might you know, attack us, so
we have to keep you know, our knowledge of this seat. Okay,
(34:57):
that's fair. But keeping everything a secret because you think
it's gonna piss off the people and get you out
of office, that's different. And this is one of those cases.
And please note Delbert has done this already once where
he completely merged a senator's seat with a massive liberal
(35:19):
area in the Delta so he could get this senator
out of power. Because she questioned.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Delbert, so do you mean the twenty census when we redistricted.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yep, Delbert used the power. He has his lieutenant governor
to redistrict to take away her seat and combine it
with another in a heavy Democratic area here ins in
Mississippi Delta. So Delbert's already done this once and he's
trying to do it again. He's trying to strip power
away from anybody who challenges the king. And that's what
(35:59):
he's a team like a monarch, a dictator. I'm not
ashamed to say it. Delbert is going after anybody he
dang well pleases challenging because the lieutenant governor's crazy powerful
and he should not be in that office. I agree
(36:26):
it would beat here.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Look, Democrats talk about all the time. That's one thing
that Republicans don't do. We don't band together like that
to just say, hey, we all dislike this person, we're
just gonna run for impeachment. I think Nancy said that
about Trump like yesterday. By the way, I think they're
already calling for that. So we're gonna go through that again,
(36:52):
another another four years of that.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
But you know that point besides.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
That, it's that's someone that actually deserves it if the
corruption is able to be looked into and investigated the
way it should be. And we find out what you know,
he was involved in allegedly, then he should be impeached.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I agree, I don't think it'll happen here. Yeah, I
could dream, but you know, going on Senator John Pork
a Republican from Hattisburg. Again, Delbert has complete control of
the Senate. Now his two biggest proponents are gone. I
wish I could remember that senator's name, that that girl senator,
(37:38):
a woman senator, that he took her seat away. It's
on the tip of my tongue. I follow her on Facebook,
but I can't remember it. Maybe I'll remember it in
a future episode. But he's done this once. He was
able to get Chris out of office. So Delbert has
no big opponent challenging him this time around. So again
(38:00):
John Pulk from Haisburg requested the opinion. Are requested the
opinion because he suspects that the autor's actions issuing the
contract for the study about waste from spending may have
broken state law and this and that study includes ideas
(38:23):
that have been long considered within Mississippi State Capitol walls.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
So you know, looking into the corruption is now against
the law.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yes, yeah, well, I know you challenged us. How dare
you Delbert's up there with like a throne and a crown,
how dare you challenge me?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
President?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
You know, the saying goes that once they you know,
get you give an inch, they take a mile or whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
But it also once they take some power.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Away from you, you don't ask for it back and
get it back.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
You have to fight to get it back.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
That is one of the hardest things about our government.
Our government is the best out there. But the thing
that we kind of lose track of as Americans in
ron yes, we forget our power as citizens, as the
people of this country. The fact that they are representatives
of us and not our leaders. They're not supposed to
(39:30):
lead us, they're supposed to represent us. You know, Trump
can say he was elected as a leader or a
national representative, you know, having that one person he's the
president Congress, you could somewhat get away with it, but
not really definitely, not here in Mississippi. No, no, no.
(39:55):
And the thing is is that in times of crisis,
we give the government a lot of power. And Ronald
Reagan said it, you know, you're only one generation away
from your liberty being in freedom is being taken away.
And he's right, because you always have to fight when
the government is like, we have the power to do this,
(40:17):
you have to be very cautious, even if it's working
for your benefit. Like even if tomorrow, say Trump signs,
I don't think this would work, but Trump signs an
executive order banning abortion and Congress supports it. You know,
the federal government doesn't have power to do that unless
(40:38):
the Constitution dictates it. They can pass a constitutional amendment
ban but that also acquires the permission of the states.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
That's the thing. I've been saying this for a while.
You know, Roe v.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Wade was overturned, not because we're trying to take away
women's rights, but because it is not in the constitution.
Democrats have had at that point fifty years to.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Make a constitutional amendment. Which of those fifty years, the
majority of the time they controlled both chambers of the Congress,
so they had plenty of time to do that. Yeah,
they could have.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Gotten that to a ballot to the states. Yeah, and
who knows, I don't know if we've lived to see
a constitutional amendment. Me of Graves, so I can't even remember.
I remember that the states maybe have to improve it,
maybe the twenty fifth. I know the states have to
approve it, but you know, I don't know if it's
how it's done. I would have to look all that up.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
But they also say.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
That we're trying to take away the fourteenth Amendment and
we're going to take away like all this other stuff.
It's like, dude, look, as long as you don't touch
the Bill of Rights, I think anything is up for debate.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yeah, And I mean, like, say, I my grandfather has
used this argument. He doesn't like people kneeling during the
national anthem when that was going on during the NFL,
he wanted, you know, a new law being passed that
you could not kneel. That could not happen. Freedom of speech.
(42:19):
But say it happens anyway, that doesn't mean the government
has the power to do that. You have to stand
up and fight every now and then to tell the
government no. And this is one of those cases. Will
you have to tell the government no. Now here's my
favorite quote in this article. Favorite quote. This is all
coming from a liberal, Clarendon Claron Ledger. So this is
(42:44):
not coming from a conservative news outlet. This is coming
from a liberal one, and it's my favorite quote of
the day. Graves knows it. Parker told the Claren Ledger
he filed the bill independent of any other state Senate
member and was not directed by Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hoseman
(43:08):
defile the litigation. So I'm gonna be nice, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
Calling b s you know, whatever reminds me of Well,
it's one of those admissions without saying it, you know,
but it reminds me of I did not have relations
with that woman.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
I did not have sexual relations.
Speaker 4 (43:35):
That's whatever reminds me of it. I was not directed.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
I was not directed by Lieutenant governor. Like used the
man's full government name too, I was not directed by
Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hoseman. Now he could say that this
is because White is telling everybody that Delbert Hoseman's in charge.
But let's be honest. Who runs the Senate with an
(44:03):
iron fist right now, and who has declared he runs
the Senate with an iron fist, who has put the
people he controls in charge of powerful committees that their
whole job is dictating if bills go before the Senate.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Yeah, Delbert Hoseman.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Let's be honest. If if there's a bill that the
lieutenant governor does not want to even reach the floor,
guess what he can do. Put in a committee he
controls and tell them, hey, debate over this until the
end of session. Are to the deal, and they just
leave it. It happens all the time. If you have
(44:44):
a lot of stuff, Yeah, Mississippi does it a lot.
I'm scared they're gonna do that with eliminating the income
tax that maybe that's just a promise to keep us
away from stuff like that, because that's the only conservative
thing on the bill register I believe right now, I.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
Haven't really died as far as I've heard.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
So that's the only real conservative thing. So they're using
that to keep people away from looking at this, at
the other corrupt stuff they're doing. So again, that's a
direct quote from the Claring Ledger from Senator Parker saying that,
and I could not believe that if you paid me.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
I would not lie.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
I would not you know, I would not act like
Karine Jean Pierre and just lie outright.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
And no, that's too that's too much.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Well, here's my if these are rumors, if this is
a bold faced lie, Delbert would come out and say
this is a lie, or maybe you know you can
look at the facts and just say, well, you know what,
Delbert didn't tell me to do it, but I'm proud
(46:00):
to say I did it. You know he's not doing that.
He is quote It just reads like he knows that hit.
The jig is up. I filed this bill independent, exact quote,
independently from any other Senate member, and was not directed
(46:21):
by Lieutenant Governor Delmot Hoseman to file the legislation.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
Says it all.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
It says it all right there in that quote. Delbert
Hoseman is behind this, and you cannot convince me otherwise. Yeah,
so stand up, Mississippi. I am begging you share this
episode out let us fight corruption, because Shane has other
stuff that we could talk about in another episode, like
(46:58):
Mississippi's schools are starting to each critical race, which they're not,
by law supposed to, or actually the law got defeated
because someone said, and I've heard this so many times,
come on, we're in Mississippi. That will never happen here.
I've heard that defeat so many bills. It's annoying. Yeah,
(47:21):
but yes, that is something we could talk about later,
not on this episode. We've already almost filled up an hour.
But there's so many other things that Shade is trying
to bring light to that this would cripple him. So again,
(47:43):
change before we change topics and go to the national
news for a bit. Because this has been a dominating source.
I have COVID, My voice is dying on me. I
still have another thing I have to go do after
this where it requires a lot of talking. So uh again,
I'm gonna act. Ask if you want this to stop,
(48:07):
call your senators, Call.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
Multiple senators and in their district.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, no, blow up everybody, call the governor, go every inch,
every mile, fight Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
I'll pledge to call Delbert Hosman's office tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Yeah, and more importantly, to piss them off. Call Delbert's
office at six oh one three five nine three two.
I said it, Yeah, join us. I'm gonna be calling
it multiple times tomorrow just to piss Delbert off because
he should know who I am by now, because I've
(48:50):
done it so many times six oh one three five
nine three two oh to tell him to stop the
Mississippi Corruption Act, also known as Senator Bill two eight
for seven. We're gonna take a quick commercial break and
Graves is gonna take us home. Thank the good Lord.
(49:14):
Welcome back to the Conservative Colonel Podcast. We're gonna be
wrapping it up again. I have COVID, so you're gonna
be hearing Graves for a bit for the ending part
of this website because our website of this episode, because
I've killed my voice because I'm so pissed at corruption
in Mississippi, my home state. Our Mississippi viewer has got
(49:38):
a heck of an episode. If you're out of the
state and listening to the show, I'm sorry this needed
to be talked about. But without further ado, Graves take
it away.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
Well, you know, the corruption, man, it's uh, this is
probably we know about the Brett farstuff, but the corruption
with this stuff, I feel like it's going to be
a little bit bigger if we can actually get to it.
So I'm glad that, you know, I learned a lot
today just kind of standing by and listening to you.
(50:11):
I just really wanted to talk about other corruption, which
is at the federal government.
Speaker 3 (50:15):
And we have been you know, I've touched on it.
Speaker 4 (50:19):
On other episodes where you know, we were studying the
sex habits of fish in the.
Speaker 3 (50:25):
Gulf of America. I had to throw that in there.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
But now they they I think the first two day
because you know, those did not get officially established until.
Speaker 3 (50:43):
Trump signed an executive order.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
You know, like they've been looking into stuff not part
of dog that they have information about now. But those
got confirmed during an executive order a couple of days ago.
So we've only had a couple of days and we've
are already saved. I believe it's around three hundred four
hundred million dollars for taxpayers. We're talking a couple of days.
(51:11):
And I'm going to tell you the one that is
probably the most egregious and YouTube Spotify whenever you want
to say, if they want to flag me for this,
just go look at the government website. You can find
this anywhere you want to. We were spending I'm not kidding,
(51:35):
one hundred million dollars on condoms for Gaza per year
under Biden for condoms all right, time out, I'm serious.
It's a fact.
Speaker 2 (51:58):
I don't know. It's worse Mississippi having the Life Begins
at Erection Act. That's an actual bill, by the way,
in the Mississippi Sentate Missippi Pride. I haven't read the
bill yet, so I don't know if I agree with
her or not. I don't say it, but the name
(52:18):
of the bill. But we're sending condoms to another country.
Speaker 4 (52:25):
Yeah, the one that's at war with Israel, even though
we're also sending them hundreds of millions, if not a
couple of billion dollars in aid to also blow up
that area that we're sending condoms to, because for some
reason we need to fund one hundred million dollars to
people having relations in a war area. To me, it
(52:48):
all sounds like money laundering, you know what I mean.
We were also spending seven hundred thousand dollars a year
to figure out if fish are blinded by sunlight. We
spent I think it was one point two million dollars
to find out if cats What was it uh to
(53:15):
find out if cats were able to be you know gay?
I mean we're no, I mean seriously, like we're there's.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
So much now, like we're like on the office like
government edition, and this is like a joke, Like.
Speaker 4 (53:39):
How about how about ten million dollars a year to
Pakistan for gender studies?
Speaker 2 (53:46):
I mean Pakistan? Yes, aren't they like behind the world
on like gender rights? For like by one hundred years
at least, or am I thinking of another country?
Speaker 4 (53:57):
Uh? You know, Pakistan is just like Afghanistan. You'll get
stoned or thrown off a building. I mean it's uh.
And there's no way that we're actually sending that money
over there and doing stuff for that.
Speaker 3 (54:13):
Where's that money going? That's what we're figuring out.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
We've cut the programs, but now they're figuring out from
the programs we're cutting, where's that money gone. So we
have the House, you know, Intelligence Committee, the Oversight Committee,
you know, these different financial committees and stuff are going
to be looking into what those just found and has
cut to see where the money actually went. And you know,
(54:38):
if anything was actually ever done in these programs, which,
to be completely honest, I highly.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
Doubt anything was ever done in any of those.
Speaker 2 (54:48):
I really want to see the the response, Hey, has
your men been using condoms? Just need to know for
our budgeting man, we just need to know. I cannot
believe you said one hundred million.
Speaker 4 (55:04):
Right, yeah, and uh equivalent like based off the price
of you know, a condom.
Speaker 3 (55:11):
It said that it would be one billion condoms that
Biden administration would have sent to Gaza.
Speaker 2 (55:18):
No, reproducing or what's the plan here? Were just like,
you know, they deserve one billion condoms.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
Yeah, it makes no sense. It was the craziest thing.
My roommate was here.
Speaker 4 (55:34):
While I was watching the video of you know what
they had cut. And there's more that I can't remember,
which I'm going to send you.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
After we get done, and and you'll.
Speaker 4 (55:44):
Hear even more stuff. But I love the fact that
they've already saved.
Speaker 3 (55:49):
That much money, and and the fact that the corruption
of Mississippi.
Speaker 4 (55:54):
We've talked about the federal government. It's just as corrupt,
except it's got a larger pool of money, so it's
a lot more money being lost. You said, three hundred
and thirty five million in Mississippi. We're just getting started
in the federal government. It's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
I can't imagine. I mean, and we all know that
the federal government has had a problem with corruption, and
the federal government will always have a problem corruption. We
can we need to put constitutional amendments out there, in
my opinion, to help staple it out, but I mean,
it will, it will always be there. But the fact
that it's just overflowing with corruption at this point.
Speaker 4 (56:37):
And I'll tell you more than just the corruption and
the overprinting of money. What ruined this country financially? Why
why in the eighties you were spending just barely more
than you would on average make as an average American
for you know, living like house, food, everything, kids doesn't matter.
(56:59):
Now it's like eighty percent you'd have to make like
eighty percent higher than you did back then.
Speaker 3 (57:07):
Compared to prices now. It's such a big difference. And
it has to do with nineteen seventy one, we got
rid of the gold standard. Inflation started stout rocketing right
after that.
Speaker 4 (57:18):
So did government spending. We also when we created the
Federal Reserve. I'm pretty sure that mister President at that
time said that he thinks he might have just ended
the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (57:35):
You know, now we're able to just overprint instead of
having an actual money supply, and we don't have gold
anymore either, so the value of the dollar is going
down ever since.
Speaker 4 (57:45):
And you know, you take that stuff into account along
with the corruption, the money laundering stuff that we know
has been going on but will never be exposed unless
those actually does it. I hope then you can you
can keep counting on that debt to keep going up and.
Speaker 3 (58:06):
Country will probably never get better. I mean, we've got
to stop it.
Speaker 2 (58:10):
We have a budgeting problem. But not only that. How
many times do we go over budget. Our budget's already
scott is more than we can afford, and then we
go over budget. We send billions upon billions of dollars overseas.
And look, if we had the money, I probably would
still have a problem with it. But you know, at
(58:31):
least if we had the money, it would be like, Okay, well,
you know there are elected they I guess they can
do that. But we don't have the money. No, we're
so far into let me just pull it up.
Speaker 3 (58:47):
What is it now? Probably thirty eight trillion or so.
Speaker 2 (58:50):
I wouldn't be shocked. Oh no, no, it's just thirty
six trillion dollars into that debt. Only thirty six trillion.
But like we're in debt. People don't understand that has
to be paid at some point.
Speaker 4 (59:08):
It's as of right now, it's like three hundred thousand
dollars per tax payer.
Speaker 2 (59:15):
Yeah, I can't afford that. Can you afford that risk?
Speaker 3 (59:21):
No? I would like a three hundred thousand dollars payment, but.
Speaker 2 (59:30):
That'd be enough money for me. To just be like,
you know what, I can quit. That's more money than
I thought i'd see.
Speaker 3 (59:37):
Yeah, I'll take two years off, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (59:41):
But I want to know what our government thinks we're
going to do to pay that back.
Speaker 4 (59:49):
Well, I'll say this, tariffs was when the country was
the richest that ever was.
Speaker 3 (59:54):
It was before we had income tax.
Speaker 4 (59:57):
It was before we had Social Security and reddit now
social Security, okay, I'm good at that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
But we didn't have credit. We didn't have income tax
or any other tax.
Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
We had a war tax that was killed. But then
right after World War One we actually started the income tax.
Right after we started the fed go figure. And now
here we are, you know, we're getting taxed out the wazoo.
I had a friend tell me today he took home
one hundred Well, no, he made one hundred and twenty
six thousand this year.
Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
He took home one hundred and two twenty four grand
out of his pocket. Like that's that's robbery for my opinion, because.
Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
You know, maybe if he made two hundred and fifty
twenty four grand, but one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Six they're taking like a good portion of his income.
And my thing is, there's so many like say, uh,
this is awful to say on air, and he's going
to listen to this episode. But say my father dies,
I inherit the whole farm. Well guess what I have
(01:01:10):
to do now. Inheritance tax not based on how much
you make, but how worth is something you're inheriting. Well,
here's my problem. I've inheriting land a fall. That's not money.
I'm inheriting that's family stuff that's been passed. No farmer
(01:01:32):
is a millionaire.
Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
If he is, we should get rid of that.
Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
We should because as a farmer. You know the worst
thing I've heard farmers, the thing I've heard farmers fear
more than deals, more than taxes, more than beef being lowered,
is what happens when the inheritance tax hits my family.
Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
There's making a pledge. I'm making pledge right now when
I run.
Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
For either state you know, Senator or state House, which
I'm going to. When I do, I'm going to write
legislation and hopefully try to get it past to get
rid of a land inheritance dex.
Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
You know what graves I might run. Who knows? If
I do end up running, I'll uh, I'll co run.
I'll co off the bill with you.
Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
We just we just run at the same time, both
win and then co a.
Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
Yeah, could you get back making campaign plans here?
Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Look, could you imagine the crap for lack of another word,
we would stir in that capital. Oh, he'd be glorious.
Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
Even if I only got two years because of it
and they put up a bunch of money, get me out,
it'd be worth it.
Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Are you talking about national politics or state state?
Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
If I was in the state, I would do the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Five years to call it. Yeah, on the state level,
you get a five year term. I think I think
it's five maybe four.
Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Sorry, I just got a phone call. I am here,
but but no, I mean whatever the term is, I
would you know, whatever is going to improve like that?
Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
Okay, sorry, four year terms? You have four years?
Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:04:03):
Four years? Cause chaos. Graves Graves is starting to bug
out on us. So well, Graves just had to leave.
So we'll end this. We'll end this episode with that,
(01:04:29):
poor Graves. I'll try to see if he'll come back
on so Graves can say goodbye. Uh, Graves just got
his WiFi cut back on today, so it seems it's
still a bit Buggy so great. Ah, I was trying
to say, uh, wait until you could come back before
I say goodbye.
Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
Yeah, one second, dou.
Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
I don't know if that's ever been said on the
show before one second though it's probably probably hasn't.
Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
I'm trying to get this.
Speaker 4 (01:05:10):
Uh well, I guess I'm not gonna be able to
connect with my headphones anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
What I was saying at the very end was just that,
you know, I want to get rid of that.
Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
It shouldn't be here anyway. Hello, I think we've lost
Graves again. Oh, bless his heart, poor Graves. Graves just
text Let's see what Graves says. He might not be
(01:05:50):
coming back, guys. If so, that's fine. Uh Craze is
saying that his phone just blew up. It looks like
he's telling him I want to get rid of that tax.
(01:06:15):
So yeah, Graves wants to get rid of that tax.
I don't know if Graves can hear me. I didn't
notice he was on my screen and still but it
looks like your mic died. But uh yeah, I know
it should get rid of. We've had a great episode

H yeah, of politics. I don't know if that makes
me stone cold because I'm a redneck.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I feel like more like a triple H vibe, you know,
just like get some come, come, it's time.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
To play the game. Yep, there it is. That's that's.
That's all that.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Okay, that's in the show with the podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Oh yeah, welcome despite all the news that we still
need to cover with it being political season in Mississippi
and on the national level, with all the crap that's
going on there. Uh, and we might dive into some
of the national politics towards the end of the show,
but we have some of the craziest breaking news coming
(03:39):
out of Mississippi this week, to the point where we
just had to dedicate an episode to it because, uh,
when I started this podcast with all the national news,
some of you might have forgotten, but I started this
podcast to touch on that national news, yes, but to
(04:01):
also help people keep in touch with Mississippi politics, and
Mississippi decided to throw me a massive curveball with all
the national news I have still yet to cover on
this show, like poor mister Kennedy, and we might get
to him towards the end of this episode. But you know,
(04:23):
the corruption of Mississippi is on full display this week,
and it's been around for a bit, but it made
a lot of headway today with the breaking news that
a certain bill is out of committee and it's going
to the Senate, and the fact that it's going out
of committee tells me that it is indeed a corrupt move. So,
(04:47):
for those who don't know a bit of the origins
of this show, the origins of this show started a
long time ago. But let's fast forward through turning point
when me and Graves met to when I was helping
and volunteering for the Chris McDaniel's campaign for Lieutenant governor,
(05:11):
a very controversial figure in Mississippi politics, but I am
a proud enjoyed my time working with him. We fought
a good fight to try and stop Delbert Hoseman from
retaining the most powerful position in the state of Mississippi,
and Delbert's showing everybody that they were wrong for voting
(05:35):
for him this week. Oh my gosh, has he outdone himself.
When he's not trying to get trans rights and men
in being able to go into women's bathrooms, it seems
like he's defending corruption.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, I remember you saying right after well, I mean
it was when I first started coming on and we
were talking about him a little bit. You said that
he was a rhino.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
You said that, you know, he he was gonna be
corrupt or was corrupt, or you know, stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Like this was gonna happen. And now here we are.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
I mean, really, I didn't think it was going to
be this out in public.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But I thought he was going to do what he
did during his first term as lieutenant, which was past
one major conservative law and passed these small liberal laws.
It's what he's been doing in the past four years.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Ago.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Look at the Senate and the main stuff that's getting
passed is really conservative, none of it. You know, you
might have a conservative win here there so that he
can look back at his voters and be like I
did that, but he also said I stopped the the
transgender men going into a women's bathrooms thing when that
(06:58):
came out of one of his committees. But you know,
when the when the Democrats are saying, don't run, don't
have anybody who challenged Delbert, you know, yeah, and when
the Democrats are endorsing you over another conservative, maybe it's
(07:21):
time to step back and reflect. But luckily for us,
we don't. He doesn't have to we can. So where
this story picks up is in with our state auditor,
Shade White, who I'll admit freeingly admit I had my
doubts about which have been completely thrown away with I'm
(07:46):
one of those people action speak louder than words. And
Orditor White has taken the fight to corruption here in Mississippi.
And I can't respect him enough for that because now
his whole office is under attack. Not him, heck, not
(08:06):
even his family, which they do both get attacked later.
Let's not forget that. But the office of Auditor in
Mississippi is under attack. That is how pissed they are
that he's calling them out. So this dates back to
the Welfall scandal. And we'll go over this and again.
(08:27):
I have two articles mainly right now we're gonna use
as talking points. And this is not a topic that
will be over in one episode.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It was such a big keep happening.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's gonna keep happening again. I'm hoping to come back
strong with another episode next week. I won't say that
this will be the focus of it. I'm not saying
Hunter's laptop is not gonna be the focus of it
because we have so much stuff to go. Oh, it's
the busy season, so heck, if I'm feeling well, we
(09:06):
might try to film two episodes because this is just
bonkers of a week. But so to do the wink
wink title of the episode, to quote State Auditor Shade White,
at a time when President Trump is cutting government fat,
(09:27):
Mississippi swamp creatures and establishment politicians are trying to stop
me from finding waste theft of taxpayer funds and tax
theft or taxpayer funds, you might as well call this
the Mississippi Corruption Act of twenty twenty five. But what
is he talking about? Senate Bill twenty eight forty seven
(09:52):
was assigned to the Accountability, Effectancy, and Transparency Committee. Isn't
that some irony? This bill will strip away the auditor's
power to perform audits on some nonprofit and poor profit
company spending taxpayer money. The State orders used used its
(10:16):
ability to audit for profit companies receiving taxpayers dollars to
investigate a large pharmacy benefit man or benefit manager in
twenty twenty, which resulted in the largest civil recovery five
hundred million of fifty five million in the history of
(10:38):
the Office of the State Auditor. The welfare scandal, the
largest public fraud scheme in state history, was only stopped
because the Auditor's office could audit these kind of entities.
So they're taking so the welfare scandal, Oh, they could
have gotten away with that, and that's what they're trying
(11:01):
to do. They're trying to get more money for themselves.
But also they're going to remove audit for government waste,
so he can't.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
They just don't want you to see where the yeah,
possible I'm gonna use that possible money laundering, possible corruption. Uh.
You know that welfare stuff has to do with Brett
Fahr as well, you know, and Phil Bryant. Uh, so
you know it goes a long way. Delburt's been there
(11:34):
for a while, and he's trying to cover for all
of them.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Oh yeah, and we will connect this back to Delbert
in a bit that's in another article. This is just
the icing on the cake. This is like a summary.
Let's see here. Because Auditor White just release an audit
finding three and thirty five million dollars in waste in
the state government. This bill would take away the off
(12:02):
sibility to perform these audits for waste. They also would
strip its power to file suit to get back stolen
or mis spent taxpayer funds. Last year, State ordered a
White filed suit to get some welfare money, and the
Attorney General, lynch Lynn Finch, sued White to stop him.
(12:29):
The court ruled White had his authority. This bill will
remove White's authority to file these suit. So again, now
we have a second corrupt politician being outed here. Our
attorney general, I'll say it louder for the people in
the back. Our attorney general filed a lawsuit to try
(12:52):
to stop him. It was overturned via his power to
actually do this. But now they're stripping it away. Why well,
she probably got an old Delbert's ear because again, you
cannot convince me, Delbert's in the most powerful seat in
the Mississippi government. You cannot tell me he didn't know
(13:13):
about this. You cannot tell me that he didn't plead
for this behind closed doors. Will never have confirmation. That's
one of the cool things about being lieutenant governor. You
can pay power man behind the scenes. People will know
it's from you without you having to put your foot
in your mouth. So Delbert is knowing what he's doing,
(13:36):
and he's trying to keep all his friends happy, because
in my opinion, Delbert's the lead rhino here in Mississippi. Hi, Delbert,
I hope you're listening. Sooo sorry, still got COVID so
that bill would take it all away again. This Senate
bill just got out of committee today, Senate Bill twenty
(13:59):
eight forty seven. And before we go any farther, I
do have a quote from Shade White's Facebook about how
he feels about this and what he kind of wants
people to do to fight back. And I thought, you know,
if we're gonna be talking about this, we might as
well give everybody what Shade is asking them to do
(14:20):
to fight back. So he wants people to know, he said,
updating bad news Lieutenant Governor Delborostman City Senate Committee just
passed the Mississippi Corruption Act. The committee chair acknowledged that
he wrote the bill with Attorney General Finch, So that's
(14:45):
public now. This is a bit older article that I
was reading, So it's public now that our attorney general
was a part of this corruption bill. Knowledge no, because
the committee chair, we are on the prepospice of going
(15:07):
or for fighting or for going pe. We are on
the preface I have COVID and I have dyslexia, kill
me going back. This is this is why you hear
Graves to correct my bad pronunciation. Being the most corrupt
(15:29):
state in the country. The bill now heads to the
Senate floor. Call Lieutenant Governor Hoseman, now if you oppose
the corruption bill Senate Bill twenty eight forty seven. And
here's his phone number six oh one three five nine
three two zero, So I will be calling that tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
See, I want to know. I want to know.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Said anything I can see, even out a tweet or
any type of public statement or acknowledgment of all this
going on.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
As he said anything, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Let's let's check.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Because I voted for him twice. But I'm not going
to say he's the best governor in the country. I
think we have gotten some new investment deals, including my mayor,
Hal Ferrell, which you can contact me at six six
' two seven. But no, seriously, we are taking volunteers
(16:32):
for that. We he met with.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Tate Reeves not long ago, and.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
And we are having a twenty one million dollar, two
hundred job investment in my hometown thanks to the meeting
between my mayor and Tate Reeves.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So, oh, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Got to give him credit for that.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Yeah, I don't see where he's done. I wouldn't be shocked.
I'm not talking bad about Tate. I'm not saying take's evolved.
Tate is in the second most powerful position in the state.
But again, he's also a politician and knows when to
keep his head out of stuff. You know. I won't
say that Tate is just a die hard conservative on
(17:14):
either of our views Graves.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
But.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I don't think he would approve of this. He might
veto it, he might not. He did just deliver the
state of the state ten hours ago. I haven't watched that.
I don't know if he addresses this whatsoever. I will
(17:41):
have to check, and of course, we have reached out
to Shade White for a opinion. He might drop Tate Reeves.
I mean, I don't know. Mister White is the one
that has dove into the corruption. Now, I don't know
(18:03):
if Tate has spoken out against this or not. I
hope he would, but I don't know for a fact.
I will say this, I hope he does. It's just
(18:24):
a bit of a weird situation to be in, I
will admit. But yeah, No, I am imploring all of
our listeners and asking two things, to call Delbert Hoseman
and to share this episode out some more people will mo.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, because this is something that you know, a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Of times I'm touching on national politics, which probably at
the end of the episode I might, but you know,
this is something that I've really not been involved in Missipeople.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It takes a whole lot, you know, And this is
the first thing where I'm just like, wow, So.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
The corruption in the Republican Party in Mississippi is still real.
It's why we're not the most conservative voting state in
the country when we should be, and you know, it
should be the leader of what is the conservative movement
other than the Trump Maga movement. And there's people like
(19:30):
Delbert that are holding us back and the corruption who
he's trying to swipe it under the rug.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
He wants to kill it obviously.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I mean he's trying to take away Auditor White's power
to even investigate this stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
That tells you right there who's in the wrong.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, and I mean think about it like this. You know,
people ask me a long time ago, why did I think?
And this was before the show, and I might have
mentioned it on the show in earlier episodes, but why
do I think that Mississippi is not leading? Why is
Florida leading? Why is Texas leading? You know, they have
(20:08):
huge liberal cities that holded them back, and they still
make strides for the conservative movement. Yeah, we have Jackson,
we have Oxford.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah, Oxford I think went pretty much purple this last time,
a little bit red, so.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
You know, and we've already talked about how Jackson is
a crap hole, uh and how their mayor is being
indicted for corruption charges. But yeah, and hopefully we'll have
an update on that. But there's so much news going on.
But we we've talked about Derwott on this show before.
(20:52):
The thing that's going around the circle again is that
Delbert was vice president of an abortion clinic, the first
abortion clinic in Mississippi, while being pro life.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
So it's a little contradictory.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Big contradictory. Delbert will say he was just a lawyer
for them, which again, you can pick and choose your
clientele if you could. Yeah, you wouldn't be vice president
with your name on the Secretary of State's website this
(21:31):
public record, and people were like, it's dissolved, it doesn't matter.
It was in the seventies. I don't care. And that
also proves how old Delbert is. But yeah, you know,
I don't care if it was dissolved in the seventies.
What I care is that he was vice president listed.
(21:55):
And so again that's making the rounds. Well, who told
you all that Chris McDaniel is the one that found
this He is the one that found this document and
put it out there, but no one cared. And we're
getting a bit off track, So we'll take a commercial
break in a bit and I'll get back on the story.
But I am taking a point of privilege.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Oh, I mean, I think it's you know, what we
should do, just talk about, like, you know, not just
the headlines. You know, we're kind of talking about the
past or kind of intertwining everything. You know, it's really
it's been going on for a long time. Phil Bryant
hasn't been governor in a little while now, so.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, and I mean, I love Phil, but he's been
indicted on the welfare scandal as well. I mean, I
like Phil because all the stuff he did for dyslexia,
because that helped me. But you know, and we did
make strives in that category, and he might not be involved.
(22:58):
I haven't. We haven't checked, we haven't done an update
on that story in a while. But Delbert has been
involved in politics for a while. This might be his
second term as lieutenant governor, but he's been involved in
politics for a while. So it's to your conclusion that
you can make that Mississippi has been a corrupt political
(23:20):
establishment for a while. I wouldn't say it beat out Washington,
but we've definitely been there and it's a sad fact
that we have fought it. We have fought it. People
like and I'm not going to refer to this a
lot more, but it's because I know so much of this.
(23:40):
Chris McDaniel fought tooth and nail for the three terms
he was in office for a senator when he fought
Delbert Hoseman for lieutenant governor and then told everybody that
Delbert was a rhino. That he came up with the
slogan Delbert the Democrat wasn't a campaign slogan, it was
(24:05):
the truth. Delbert is a corrupt politician. He's not who
you think he is. He's not a conservative, he doesn't
have Mississippi's best interest at heart. Why when we have
the super majority, would you want to vote in a
Democrat running as a Republican. But everybody kept telling Chris
Were's though and mud, you're being mean, You're you know,
(24:27):
you shall not tack another Republican quoting Ronald Reagan. And
I love Ronald Reagan, but Ronald Reagan was basically saying,
don't criticize Ronald Reagan when he made that quote. Ronald
Reagan would not have standed for this corruption in the
Republican Party in Mississippi are on the national level, Ronald
(24:47):
Reagan would have called that person out immediately, which is
why we all love Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
But people, I mean, Delbert is.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
The definition of lying like a politician. You know, in
in my realm of work, I do, we would literally
just say that he's uh, well, I forgot the word anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Oh it's fine, but you know, let's uh, let's take
a quick commercial break because I have to do more
of these, and we'll just jump right back into it.
All right, we're back and uh. I had to stop
myself or I'd get on a little soap box about this.
(25:45):
But I mean, it is true. We tried to warn
everybody at election time, and everybody was like, don't criticize
the Mississippi Republican Party. Some of them were like, you know,
y'all shouldn't be going after fellow Republicans like this. And
I'll stand by the statement. If they're not acting like Republicans,
if they're not voting like Republicans, if they're not really Republicans,
(26:06):
is it going after a Republican?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I would say.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Note.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
So, it's just the truth has come out, and it's
come out a way people can accept it. I wish
it would have come out during the election. We wouldn't
be in this situation now where the top of government
official in Mississippi is standing in the way of a
corruption investigation and trying to strip the state Auditor of
(26:37):
his powers to investigate corruption. But here we are. But
they say this bill is started to make sure that
the state Auditor, the Secretary of State, and the Attorney
General work closer together. That's why they're stripping of them
as powers. That's a quote from the author.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
By the way, we've had separation and balance of powers
in Mississippi for a long time. I feel like that
would be you know, you're getting rid of the power
of something that has been set for a while.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Yeah, it's just again, it's just trying to stop a
man that's fighting for against corruption. But uh so, when
Shade White released the government waste study last year, it
ruffled a couple of feathers, but it didn't probably have
happened the way he wanted. So Senator Dave Parker, Republican
(27:39):
has filed a bill to seeking to strip the attorney
journals of the powers we stayed at the beginning of
this episode. The bill was sent to Parker's committee, which
again who picks the committee chairman's hooseman and the committee
has called the Accountability, Effectancy and Transparency Committee. Again, the
(28:02):
irony is not lost upon me, and it has now
been sent to the chamber to vote. I think, and
this is a quote from Parker, I think we can
more clearly define financial affairs, and we can more clearly
define what's under the purview of the auditor to clear
(28:22):
up any miscommunications out there. Again, just politicking the crap
out of us, hoping and praying that people don't bite
his head off. But I'm saying everybody's name clear into
the mic. Yep, let's see here again. In December, the
(28:46):
Attorney General's Office released a statement identifying three hundred and
thirty five million dollars in government wasts across thirteen state
agencies they bid out. And again we talked about how
they're removing the state auditor's power to do this. So
(29:07):
it's stupid that they're saying he doesn't have the power
to do this when they're taking away his power to
do this. But he contacted the Boston Consultant Group and
they helped him identify the government waste. In December as well,
the Attorney General's Office released a statement saying White did
not have the authority to contact the Boston Consultant Group
(29:29):
to identify the three thirty five million dollars in government wastes.
Across thirteen state agencies.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
The opinion.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Is just crazy. Again he has the power to do it,
but the state, but our attorney general is like, but
don't do it, because again the bill is taking away
his right to do that. And of course White put
on there and I've already read part of it. But
(30:00):
I think this is another Quo quote. The swamp creatures
of the establishment politicians in Mississippi have sued me to
stop me from recovering welfare money, try to legally stop
me from looking into waste into the state government. And
now have a build a strip this the Order's office
of key powers in this.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
In Mississippi.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
You know that we know about Delbert, at least the
ones that didn't vote for him.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
And I was hoping that I think we.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Actually said this in an earlier episode that we hope
he doesn't be as bad as we think he's going
to be.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
And you know, now we're seeing this.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
I think it's blatant corruption that hopefully he doesn't get
his powers taken away. We can actually get to the
bottom of everything, bring our money back to the state.
Whatever happened to everything, I think Mississippi right now we
have gotten a lot more investments. We're on a track
(31:08):
where if we can keep up with it and keep
the rhinos, you know, Mitt Romney types, Delbert Hoseman types
from being in charge of the state, we're going to
actually become a pretty wealthy state soon.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
I think.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
People underestimate us, but we have gotten more investments in
the last year than I've seen in a long time,
and it just seems like it's happening every other week now.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Mississippi is on the rebound. Finally, we're on the right
track to bring our state some wealth. And I will
give Tate and Andy Gibson our agriculture commissions some credit.
We're doing it while keeping the identity of Mississippi as
this small state that just wants to have everybody make
(32:00):
a decent living. We're staying agriculture. We don't want big cities.
We're farmers, we're rednecks. We like it here. Back off,
you know, doing that. I like my land. I like
my land.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Leave me alone.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Uh, the spirit of Mississippi everybody. But again, you know,
when you have these big money deals, corruption flourishes. But
I think it's obvious that corruption has been flourishing for
a while. And if we don't get these rhinos, because again,
(32:38):
our attorney general has just been outed as one of them.
I had no I had my suspicions, but when someone's
in an office like that, you don't really know if
they're liberal or conservative. You know, they're just they're.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Supposed to be. Yeah, they're supposed to be non partisans. Yeah,
on paper.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
But you know, our attorney general is just out of
the fact that she is corrupt. She is a rhino.
She is, you know, trying to save face, trying to
stop these corruption charges are not charges Me're afraid trying
to stop this this man because she knows why. It's
(33:22):
gonna be like a dog with a bone. He's found
where the corrupt, the money has been spended, wrong waste. Well,
now let's see if there's any corruption tied to it.
And I think that's got everybody scared. And now you're
seeing an engrossment abuse of power by the by the
(33:42):
Lieutenant governor. And this goes on.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Ahead, and you know, I wonder how how far it
goes though. You know, people that are in the state legislature.
It can't only be the people of the.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Very like there. There's got to be others.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
So and I just hope for the sake of Mississippi
and for the people because just like releasing the JFK files,
MLK files and stuff, Sure a lot of them might
be redacted, but there's still some information in there, and like,
the people deserve to know whether their government, federally or
(34:21):
state level, is doing at all costs.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Where their taxes are going. That's why I love Doge.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
And after, you know, right before we end, I do
want to touch on some of that.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
That'll be the only thing federal.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
But yeah, that's fine because I want to touch I
hate corruption, I hate government wasting our money, I hate lives.
You know, if it's for you know, well, we have
you know, this country, might you know, attack us, so
we have to keep you know, our knowledge of this seat. Okay,
(34:57):
that's fair. But keeping everything a secret because you think
it's gonna piss off the people and get you out
of office, that's different. And this is one of those cases.
And please note Delbert has done this already once where
he completely merged a senator's seat with a massive liberal
(35:19):
area in the Delta so he could get this senator
out of power. Because she questioned.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Delbert, so do you mean the twenty census when we redistricted.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yep, Delbert used the power. He has his lieutenant governor
to redistrict to take away her seat and combine it
with another in a heavy Democratic area here ins in
Mississippi Delta. So Delbert's already done this once and he's
trying to do it again. He's trying to strip power
away from anybody who challenges the king. And that's what
(35:59):
he's a team like a monarch, a dictator. I'm not
ashamed to say it. Delbert is going after anybody he
dang well pleases challenging because the lieutenant governor's crazy powerful
and he should not be in that office. I agree
(36:26):
it would beat here.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Look, Democrats talk about all the time. That's one thing
that Republicans don't do. We don't band together like that
to just say, hey, we all dislike this person, we're
just gonna run for impeachment. I think Nancy said that
about Trump like yesterday. By the way, I think they're
already calling for that. So we're gonna go through that again,
(36:52):
another another four years of that.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
But you know that point besides.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
That, it's that's someone that actually deserves it if the
corruption is able to be looked into and investigated the
way it should be. And we find out what you know,
he was involved in allegedly, then he should be impeached.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I agree, I don't think it'll happen here. Yeah, I
could dream, but you know, going on Senator John Pork
a Republican from Hattisburg. Again, Delbert has complete control of
the Senate. Now his two biggest proponents are gone. I
wish I could remember that senator's name, that that girl senator,
(37:38):
a woman senator, that he took her seat away. It's
on the tip of my tongue. I follow her on Facebook,
but I can't remember it. Maybe I'll remember it in
a future episode. But he's done this once. He was
able to get Chris out of office. So Delbert has
no big opponent challenging him this time around. So again
(38:00):
John Pulk from Haisburg requested the opinion. Are requested the
opinion because he suspects that the autor's actions issuing the
contract for the study about waste from spending may have
broken state law and this and that study includes ideas
(38:23):
that have been long considered within Mississippi State Capitol walls.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
So you know, looking into the corruption is now against
the law.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yes, yeah, well, I know you challenged us. How dare
you Delbert's up there with like a throne and a crown,
how dare you challenge me?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
President?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
You know, the saying goes that once they you know,
get you give an inch, they take a mile or whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
But it also once they take some power.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Away from you, you don't ask for it back and
get it back.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
You have to fight to get it back.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
That is one of the hardest things about our government.
Our government is the best out there. But the thing
that we kind of lose track of as Americans in
ron yes, we forget our power as citizens, as the
people of this country. The fact that they are representatives
of us and not our leaders. They're not supposed to
(39:30):
lead us, they're supposed to represent us. You know, Trump
can say he was elected as a leader or a
national representative, you know, having that one person he's the
president Congress, you could somewhat get away with it, but
not really definitely, not here in Mississippi. No, no, no.
(39:55):
And the thing is is that in times of crisis,
we give the government a lot of power. And Ronald
Reagan said it, you know, you're only one generation away
from your liberty being in freedom is being taken away.
And he's right, because you always have to fight when
the government is like, we have the power to do this,
(40:17):
you have to be very cautious, even if it's working
for your benefit. Like even if tomorrow, say Trump signs,
I don't think this would work, but Trump signs an
executive order banning abortion and Congress supports it. You know,
the federal government doesn't have power to do that unless
(40:38):
the Constitution dictates it. They can pass a constitutional amendment
ban but that also acquires the permission of the states.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
That's the thing. I've been saying this for a while.
You know, Roe v.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Wade was overturned, not because we're trying to take away
women's rights, but because it is not in the constitution.
Democrats have had at that point fifty years to.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Make a constitutional amendment. Which of those fifty years, the
majority of the time they controlled both chambers of the Congress,
so they had plenty of time to do that. Yeah,
they could have.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Gotten that to a ballot to the states. Yeah, and
who knows, I don't know if we've lived to see
a constitutional amendment. Me of Graves, so I can't even remember.
I remember that the states maybe have to improve it,
maybe the twenty fifth. I know the states have to
approve it, but you know, I don't know if it's
how it's done. I would have to look all that up.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
But they also say.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
That we're trying to take away the fourteenth Amendment and
we're going to take away like all this other stuff.
It's like, dude, look, as long as you don't touch
the Bill of Rights, I think anything is up for debate.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Yeah, And I mean, like, say, I my grandfather has
used this argument. He doesn't like people kneeling during the
national anthem when that was going on during the NFL,
he wanted, you know, a new law being passed that
you could not kneel. That could not happen. Freedom of speech.
(42:19):
But say it happens anyway, that doesn't mean the government
has the power to do that. You have to stand
up and fight every now and then to tell the
government no. And this is one of those cases. Will
you have to tell the government no. Now here's my
favorite quote in this article. Favorite quote. This is all
coming from a liberal, Clarendon Claron Ledger. So this is
(42:44):
not coming from a conservative news outlet. This is coming
from a liberal one, and it's my favorite quote of
the day. Graves knows it. Parker told the Claren Ledger
he filed the bill independent of any other state Senate
member and was not directed by Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hoseman
(43:08):
defile the litigation. So I'm gonna be nice, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
Calling b s you know, whatever reminds me of Well,
it's one of those admissions without saying it, you know,
but it reminds me of I did not have relations
with that woman.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
I did not have sexual relations.
Speaker 4 (43:35):
That's whatever reminds me of it. I was not directed.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
I was not directed by Lieutenant governor. Like used the
man's full government name too, I was not directed by
Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hoseman. Now he could say that this
is because White is telling everybody that Delbert Hoseman's in charge.
But let's be honest. Who runs the Senate with an
(44:03):
iron fist right now, and who has declared he runs
the Senate with an iron fist, who has put the
people he controls in charge of powerful committees that their
whole job is dictating if bills go before the Senate.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Yeah, Delbert Hoseman.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Let's be honest. If if there's a bill that the
lieutenant governor does not want to even reach the floor,
guess what he can do. Put in a committee he
controls and tell them, hey, debate over this until the
end of session. Are to the deal, and they just
leave it. It happens all the time. If you have
(44:44):
a lot of stuff, Yeah, Mississippi does it a lot.
I'm scared they're gonna do that with eliminating the income
tax that maybe that's just a promise to keep us
away from stuff like that, because that's the only conservative
thing on the bill register I believe right now, I.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
Haven't really died as far as I've heard.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
So that's the only real conservative thing. So they're using
that to keep people away from looking at this, at
the other corrupt stuff they're doing. So again, that's a
direct quote from the Claring Ledger from Senator Parker saying that,
and I could not believe that if you paid me.
Speaker 3 (45:26):
I would not lie.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
I would not you know, I would not act like
Karine Jean Pierre and just lie outright.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
And no, that's too that's too much.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Well, here's my if these are rumors, if this is
a bold faced lie, Delbert would come out and say
this is a lie, or maybe you know you can
look at the facts and just say, well, you know what,
Delbert didn't tell me to do it, but I'm proud
(46:00):
to say I did it. You know he's not doing that.
He is quote It just reads like he knows that hit.
The jig is up. I filed this bill independent, exact quote,
independently from any other Senate member, and was not directed
(46:21):
by Lieutenant Governor Delmot Hoseman to file the legislation.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
Says it all.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
It says it all right there in that quote. Delbert
Hoseman is behind this, and you cannot convince me otherwise. Yeah,
so stand up, Mississippi. I am begging you share this
episode out let us fight corruption, because Shane has other
stuff that we could talk about in another episode, like
(46:58):
Mississippi's schools are starting to each critical race, which they're not,
by law supposed to, or actually the law got defeated
because someone said, and I've heard this so many times,
come on, we're in Mississippi. That will never happen here.
I've heard that defeat so many bills. It's annoying. Yeah,
(47:21):
but yes, that is something we could talk about later,
not on this episode. We've already almost filled up an hour.
But there's so many other things that Shade is trying
to bring light to that this would cripple him. So again,
(47:43):
change before we change topics and go to the national
news for a bit. Because this has been a dominating source.
I have COVID, My voice is dying on me. I
still have another thing I have to go do after
this where it requires a lot of talking. So uh again,
I'm gonna act. Ask if you want this to stop,
(48:07):
call your senators, Call.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
Multiple senators and in their district.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, no, blow up everybody, call the governor, go every inch,
every mile, fight Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
I'll pledge to call Delbert Hosman's office tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Yeah, and more importantly, to piss them off. Call Delbert's
office at six oh one three five nine three two.
I said it, Yeah, join us. I'm gonna be calling
it multiple times tomorrow just to piss Delbert off because
he should know who I am by now, because I've
(48:50):
done it so many times six oh one three five
nine three two oh to tell him to stop the
Mississippi Corruption Act, also known as Senator Bill two eight
for seven. We're gonna take a quick commercial break and
Graves is gonna take us home. Thank the good Lord.
(49:14):
Welcome back to the Conservative Colonel Podcast. We're gonna be
wrapping it up again. I have COVID, so you're gonna
be hearing Graves for a bit for the ending part
of this website because our website of this episode, because
I've killed my voice because I'm so pissed at corruption
in Mississippi, my home state. Our Mississippi viewer has got
(49:38):
a heck of an episode. If you're out of the
state and listening to the show, I'm sorry this needed
to be talked about. But without further ado, Graves take
it away.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
Well, you know, the corruption, man, it's uh, this is
probably we know about the Brett farstuff, but the corruption
with this stuff, I feel like it's going to be
a little bit bigger if we can actually get to it.
So I'm glad that, you know, I learned a lot
today just kind of standing by and listening to you.
(50:11):
I just really wanted to talk about other corruption, which
is at the federal government.
Speaker 3 (50:15):
And we have been you know, I've touched on it.
Speaker 4 (50:19):
On other episodes where you know, we were studying the
sex habits of fish in the.
Speaker 3 (50:25):
Gulf of America. I had to throw that in there.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
But now they they I think the first two day
because you know, those did not get officially established until.
Speaker 3 (50:43):
Trump signed an executive order.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
You know, like they've been looking into stuff not part
of dog that they have information about now. But those
got confirmed during an executive order a couple of days ago.
So we've only had a couple of days and we've
are already saved. I believe it's around three hundred four
hundred million dollars for taxpayers. We're talking a couple of days.
(51:11):
And I'm going to tell you the one that is
probably the most egregious and YouTube Spotify whenever you want
to say, if they want to flag me for this,
just go look at the government website. You can find
this anywhere you want to. We were spending I'm not kidding,
(51:35):
one hundred million dollars on condoms for Gaza per year
under Biden for condoms all right, time out, I'm serious.
It's a fact.
Speaker 2 (51:58):
I don't know. It's worse Mississippi having the Life Begins
at Erection Act. That's an actual bill, by the way,
in the Mississippi Sentate Missippi Pride. I haven't read the
bill yet, so I don't know if I agree with
her or not. I don't say it, but the name
(52:18):
of the bill. But we're sending condoms to another country.
Speaker 4 (52:25):
Yeah, the one that's at war with Israel, even though
we're also sending them hundreds of millions, if not a
couple of billion dollars in aid to also blow up
that area that we're sending condoms to, because for some
reason we need to fund one hundred million dollars to
people having relations in a war area. To me, it
(52:48):
all sounds like money laundering, you know what I mean.
We were also spending seven hundred thousand dollars a year
to figure out if fish are blinded by sunlight. We
spent I think it was one point two million dollars
to find out if cats What was it uh to
(53:15):
find out if cats were able to be you know gay?
I mean we're no, I mean seriously, like we're there's.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
So much now, like we're like on the office like
government edition, and this is like a joke, Like.
Speaker 4 (53:39):
How about how about ten million dollars a year to
Pakistan for gender studies?
Speaker 2 (53:46):
I mean Pakistan? Yes, aren't they like behind the world
on like gender rights? For like by one hundred years
at least, or am I thinking of another country?
Speaker 4 (53:57):
Uh? You know, Pakistan is just like Afghanistan. You'll get
stoned or thrown off a building. I mean it's uh.
And there's no way that we're actually sending that money
over there and doing stuff for that.
Speaker 3 (54:13):
Where's that money going? That's what we're figuring out.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
We've cut the programs, but now they're figuring out from
the programs we're cutting, where's that money gone. So we
have the House, you know, Intelligence Committee, the Oversight Committee,
you know, these different financial committees and stuff are going
to be looking into what those just found and has
cut to see where the money actually went. And you know,
(54:38):
if anything was actually ever done in these programs, which,
to be completely honest, I highly.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
Doubt anything was ever done in any of those.
Speaker 2 (54:48):
I really want to see the the response, Hey, has
your men been using condoms? Just need to know for
our budgeting man, we just need to know. I cannot
believe you said one hundred million.
Speaker 4 (55:04):
Right, yeah, and uh equivalent like based off the price
of you know, a condom.
Speaker 3 (55:11):
It said that it would be one billion condoms that
Biden administration would have sent to Gaza.
Speaker 2 (55:18):
No, reproducing or what's the plan here? Were just like,
you know, they deserve one billion condoms.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
Yeah, it makes no sense. It was the craziest thing.
My roommate was here.
Speaker 4 (55:34):
While I was watching the video of you know what
they had cut. And there's more that I can't remember,
which I'm going to send you.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
After we get done, and and you'll.
Speaker 4 (55:44):
Hear even more stuff. But I love the fact that
they've already saved.
Speaker 3 (55:49):
That much money, and and the fact that the corruption
of Mississippi.
Speaker 4 (55:54):
We've talked about the federal government. It's just as corrupt,
except it's got a larger pool of money, so it's
a lot more money being lost. You said, three hundred
and thirty five million in Mississippi. We're just getting started
in the federal government. It's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
I can't imagine. I mean, and we all know that
the federal government has had a problem with corruption, and
the federal government will always have a problem corruption. We
can we need to put constitutional amendments out there, in
my opinion, to help staple it out, but I mean,
it will, it will always be there. But the fact
that it's just overflowing with corruption at this point.
Speaker 4 (56:37):
And I'll tell you more than just the corruption and
the overprinting of money. What ruined this country financially? Why
why in the eighties you were spending just barely more
than you would on average make as an average American
for you know, living like house, food, everything, kids doesn't matter.
(56:59):
Now it's like eighty percent you'd have to make like
eighty percent higher than you did back then.
Speaker 3 (57:07):
Compared to prices now. It's such a big difference. And
it has to do with nineteen seventy one, we got
rid of the gold standard. Inflation started stout rocketing right
after that.
Speaker 4 (57:18):
So did government spending. We also when we created the
Federal Reserve. I'm pretty sure that mister President at that
time said that he thinks he might have just ended
the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (57:35):
You know, now we're able to just overprint instead of
having an actual money supply, and we don't have gold
anymore either, so the value of the dollar is going
down ever since.
Speaker 4 (57:45):
And you know, you take that stuff into account along
with the corruption, the money laundering stuff that we know
has been going on but will never be exposed unless
those actually does it. I hope then you can you
can keep counting on that debt to keep going up and.
Speaker 3 (58:06):
Country will probably never get better. I mean, we've got
to stop it.
Speaker 2 (58:10):
We have a budgeting problem. But not only that. How
many times do we go over budget. Our budget's already
scott is more than we can afford, and then we
go over budget. We send billions upon billions of dollars overseas.
And look, if we had the money, I probably would
still have a problem with it. But you know, at
(58:31):
least if we had the money, it would be like, Okay, well,
you know there are elected they I guess they can
do that. But we don't have the money. No, we're
so far into let me just pull it up.
Speaker 3 (58:47):
What is it now? Probably thirty eight trillion or so.
Speaker 2 (58:50):
I wouldn't be shocked. Oh no, no, it's just thirty
six trillion dollars into that debt. Only thirty six trillion.
But like we're in debt. People don't understand that has
to be paid at some point.
Speaker 4 (59:08):
It's as of right now, it's like three hundred thousand
dollars per tax payer.
Speaker 2 (59:15):
Yeah, I can't afford that. Can you afford that risk?
Speaker 3 (59:21):
No? I would like a three hundred thousand dollars payment, but.
Speaker 2 (59:30):
That'd be enough money for me. To just be like,
you know what, I can quit. That's more money than
I thought i'd see.
Speaker 3 (59:37):
Yeah, I'll take two years off, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (59:41):
But I want to know what our government thinks we're
going to do to pay that back.
Speaker 4 (59:49):
Well, I'll say this, tariffs was when the country was
the richest that ever was.
Speaker 3 (59:54):
It was before we had income tax.
Speaker 4 (59:57):
It was before we had Social Security and reddit now
social Security, okay, I'm good at that.
Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
But we didn't have credit. We didn't have income tax
or any other tax.
Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
We had a war tax that was killed. But then
right after World War One we actually started the income tax.
Right after we started the fed go figure. And now
here we are, you know, we're getting taxed out the wazoo.
I had a friend tell me today he took home
one hundred Well, no, he made one hundred and twenty
six thousand this year.
Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
He took home one hundred and two twenty four grand
out of his pocket. Like that's that's robbery for my opinion, because.
Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
You know, maybe if he made two hundred and fifty
twenty four grand, but one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Six they're taking like a good portion of his income.
And my thing is, there's so many like say, uh,
this is awful to say on air, and he's going
to listen to this episode. But say my father dies,
I inherit the whole farm. Well guess what I have
(01:01:10):
to do now. Inheritance tax not based on how much
you make, but how worth is something you're inheriting. Well,
here's my problem. I've inheriting land a fall. That's not money.
I'm inheriting that's family stuff that's been passed. No farmer
(01:01:32):
is a millionaire.
Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
If he is, we should get rid of that.
Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
We should because as a farmer. You know the worst
thing I've heard farmers, the thing I've heard farmers fear
more than deals, more than taxes, more than beef being lowered,
is what happens when the inheritance tax hits my family.
Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
There's making a pledge. I'm making pledge right now when
I run.
Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
For either state you know, Senator or state House, which
I'm going to. When I do, I'm going to write
legislation and hopefully try to get it past to get
rid of a land inheritance dex.
Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
You know what graves I might run. Who knows? If
I do end up running, I'll uh, I'll co run.
I'll co off the bill with you.
Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
We just we just run at the same time, both
win and then co a.
Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
Yeah, could you get back making campaign plans here?
Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:02:41):
Look, could you imagine the crap for lack of another word,
we would stir in that capital. Oh, he'd be glorious.
Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
Even if I only got two years because of it
and they put up a bunch of money, get me out,
it'd be worth it.
Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
Are you talking about national politics or state state?
Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
If I was in the state, I would do the
same thing.
Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
Five years to call it. Yeah, on the state level,
you get a five year term. I think I think
it's five maybe four.
Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Sorry, I just got a phone call. I am here,
