- 0:11Speaker 1: those apps sold. Just did a Donkey Today mentioned his
- 0:13Speaker 1: new record drop on a clue bumps for appsoul Donkey
- 0:18Speaker 1: Today from Monday, September nineteen goes the former Mississippi governor
- 0:22Speaker 1: Phil Briant. Okay, this story bothers me in such a
- 0:24Speaker 1: real way because it's just more proof that, regardless of
- 0:27Speaker 1: what this country tries to tell us, the powers that
- 0:29Speaker 1: be do not care about the poor period. Okay, because
- 0:33Speaker 1: Phil Brian is at the center of a welfare scandal.
- 0:36Speaker 1: There's a civil lawsuit against him because he used federal
- 0:39Speaker 1: welfare funds towards the building of a new volleyball stadium
- 0:42Speaker 1: at the University of Southern Mississippi, a massive criminal scandal
- 0:46Speaker 1: in which prominent officials miss spent are stole millions in
- 0:49Speaker 1: welfare funds intended for the nation's poorest residents. Disgusting, disgusting,
- 0:55Speaker 1: a project prosecutors have called a scheme to defraud the government.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Let's go to KTLA for the Brett Farve's life after
- 1:02Speaker 1: football has been focused on philanthropy, but as first reported
- 1:05Speaker 1: by Mississippi Today, newly revealed text messages filed in an
- 1:09Speaker 1: ongoing civil lawsuit, show Farv was part of a scheme
- 1:12Speaker 1: that funneled at least five million dollars of welfare funds
- 1:16Speaker 1: to build a new volleyball stadium at the University of
- 1:19Speaker 1: Southern Mississippi, where Farv graduated and his daughter played. The
- 1:24Speaker 1: text show Former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant pushed for the facility,
- 1:27Speaker 1: despite denying close involvement. A friend of the former governor's wife,
- 1:32Speaker 1: Nancy Knew, would submit a five million dollars upfront lease
- 1:35Speaker 1: to use the university's athletic facilities for her nonprofits programming.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Former Welfare Agency director John Davis approved four million immediately.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Oh when the scam of his white delights not so bright? Huh.
- 1:48Speaker 1: They don't shine a light on the white scamras like
- 1:50Speaker 1: they do to others. This is bigger than PPP loans, baby,
- 1:53Speaker 1: This is how to rich day rich in the poort
- 1:55Speaker 1: day poil. You wonder why the people who need relief
- 1:57Speaker 1: in this country can't get it, It's because the money
- 1:59Speaker 1: to supposed to go to them, It's going to rich
- 2:01Speaker 1: people's pet projects. As if they can't get the money
- 2:04Speaker 1: to build that volleyball stadium from donors already, all that
- 2:07Speaker 1: Bret Fab doesn't have the money to do it himself.
- 2:09Speaker 1: All that money Bret Fab made wranglers. I know he
- 2:12Speaker 1: got it, but why spend your own money when you
- 2:14Speaker 1: can spend money meant for the poor and disenfranchised in
- 2:17Speaker 1: our society. Now, of course Phil Briant denied it, but
- 2:19Speaker 1: screenshots will never lie, and they are text messages that
- 2:22Speaker 1: showed that Bryant guided far Of on how to write
- 2:25Speaker 1: a funding proposal so that it would be granted. Now,
- 2:27Speaker 1: Bret Fab previously denied that he discussed the volleyball project
- 2:31Speaker 1: with Brian, but the text messages quoted indicate otherwise, suggesting
- 2:35Speaker 1: that five million was given to the school. Now, Bret
- 2:37Speaker 1: Fab's involvement in the welfare candle first emerge when it
- 2:40Speaker 1: was reported that he received one point one million for
- 2:43Speaker 1: work he allegedly didn't perform. He eventually repaid the money,
- 2:47Speaker 1: but he's been sued for the interests on the money
- 2:49Speaker 1: he received and returned. Let's go back to KTLA from
- 2:52Speaker 1: More to report police far Of texting and Gray tells
- 2:55Speaker 1: you that the governor has seen the proposal. But hint, hint,
- 2:58Speaker 1: you need to reward it to get it accepted. He adds,
- 3:02Speaker 1: hopefully she can put more details in the proposal, like
- 3:05Speaker 1: how many times the facility will be used and for
- 3:07Speaker 1: what specific purpose. Farv also received one point one million
- 3:11Speaker 1: dollars in welfare funding through the Mississippi Community Education Center
- 3:15Speaker 1: for speaking at events he never showed up to. Farv
- 3:19Speaker 1: asks new if you were to pay me, is there
- 3:21Speaker 1: any way the media can find out where it came
- 3:23Speaker 1: from and how much Farv has repaid the money, But
- 3:26Speaker 1: state auditors want more than two hundred thousand dollars in interest.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Farv's attorney denies the former QB knew that money came
- 3:34Speaker 1: from a welfare fund, describing his client as honorable throughout
- 3:38Speaker 1: this whole thing? Couldy y'all always making noise about the
- 3:40Speaker 1: wrong things? Why are not making noise about this? Huh?
- 3:43Speaker 1: Back in July, Mississippi Representative Bennie Thompson's in a letter
- 3:47Speaker 1: to you, as Attorney General Merritt Garland, requesting that the
- 3:50Speaker 1: DJ investigate this situation and that they focus on Breth,
- 3:53Speaker 1: Bob and Phil Brian in particular. Farv has already been
- 3:56Speaker 1: questioned by the FBI. I say hell yes, they need
- 3:59Speaker 1: to be invested because there's not too many things more
- 4:01Speaker 1: despicable than stealing from the have nots. This is literally like,
- 4:05Speaker 1: you know, seeing a homeless person on the street and
- 4:07Speaker 1: walking up to them and just taking money out of
- 4:09Speaker 1: their Starbucks cup. Like it's bad enough we live in
- 4:11Speaker 1: a country where folks can't even make ends meet, but
- 4:13Speaker 1: when you have elected officials who are supposed to be
- 4:15Speaker 1: providing relief for these individuals, but instead they are stealing
- 4:18Speaker 1: from them. This is why when things really really really
- 4:22Speaker 1: hit the fan in this country, it's gonna be bad
- 4:26Speaker 1: because the poor aren't gonna continue to cannibalize themselves. No,
- 4:29Speaker 1: they're gonna hop those gate offenses and start coming to
- 4:32Speaker 1: start coming to the communities y'all are in not only
- 4:35Speaker 1: because they know that's what a prosperity at, but now
- 4:37Speaker 1: they have even more incentive because not only are y'all
- 4:39Speaker 1: not helping the poor and disenfranchise, you're stealing from them
- 4:42Speaker 1: as well. I never understood just the same way I
- 4:45Speaker 1: never understood labels not paying artists what the artists are old,
- 4:48Speaker 1: it's not your money. The money is there for who's
- 4:50Speaker 1: there for a Simply give them what it's rightfully there is.
- 4:53Speaker 1: It's simple there's no need for filling Bret to be
- 4:56Speaker 1: dipping their hands in the church's money for what. Now
- 5:00Speaker 1: we all know nothing that's gonna happen to phil Brian
- 5:02Speaker 1: or Breadfaf because if something happens to them, then it's
- 5:04Speaker 1: sets a precedent and now more elected officials will start
- 5:06Speaker 1: to get exposed, investigated, and arrested for the same thing.
- 5:10Speaker 1: And we all know Phili Brian and bread Faf want
- 5:12Speaker 1: the first to do things like this, so they're not
- 5:14Speaker 1: gonna make an example out of them because doing that
- 5:16Speaker 1: will lead to them making an example out of the
- 5:18Speaker 1: whole system, or having to make an example out of
- 5:20Speaker 1: the whole system, and that's not gonna happen. Okay, the
- 5:23Speaker 1: good old boys, you know, don't know how to punish
- 5:26Speaker 1: the good old boys. Okay, but Benny Thompson is right.
- 5:29Speaker 1: You have to push for them to be investigated. You
- 5:31Speaker 1: know why, because if you forgive the fox for stealing
- 5:33Speaker 1: your chickens, he will take your sheep. And America been
- 5:37Speaker 1: past stealing chickens and they've been taking sheep, so yes,
- 5:41Speaker 1: investigate them, so it leads, you know, to some type
- 5:43Speaker 1: of conviction, but we know it won't because we have
- 5:45Speaker 1: a system that feeds off sheep, and once again they
- 5:49Speaker 1: will never punish the good old boys. Okay, but I
- 5:51Speaker 1: just want to warn America of where we are headed.
- 5:56Speaker 1: If we're not already there now, but we're definitely headed
- 5:59Speaker 1: that way if the halves don't start doing right by
- 6:03Speaker 1: the have nots wo Man. A matter of fact, this
- 6:08Speaker 1: ain't even a word from me. It's a word from
- 6:09Speaker 1: a prophet, one of the greatest messenges God has ever
- 6:12Speaker 1: sent this dimension. Two pos car. If I know in
- 6:16Speaker 1: this hotel room they have food every day, and I'm
- 6:19Speaker 1: knocking on the door every day to eat, and they
- 6:21Speaker 1: tell and they open the door, let me see the party.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Let me see like they're throwing salami all over that
- 6:27Speaker 1: I mean, just like throwing food around. What they're telling me,
- 6:30Speaker 1: there's no food in there. You know what I'm saying.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Every day I'm standing outside trying to sing my way in.
- 6:35Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, We are hungry, Please let

- 6:41Speaker 1: about a week, that song is gonna change that we hungry.

- 6:55Speaker 1: you're hungry, you reach your level, you don't want anymore.
- 6:58Speaker 1: We asked ten years ago, we was asking with the Panthers.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Who was asking with that? You know, a civil rights
- 7:03Speaker 1: movement who was asking? You know now that those people
- 7:06Speaker 1: that were asking, they're all dead and in jail. So
- 7:08Speaker 1: now what do you think we're gonna do? This is
- 7:10Speaker 1: where we are ahead of America and you did it
- 7:12Speaker 1: to yourself. Please give a former governor of Mississippi, Phil
