Hello and welcome in to Episode 12 of the Behind the Curtain podcast. I’m your host, Jeff Reynolds. This week I feature two interviews with folks who thrust themselves into the arena to expose massive fraud and corruption in government.
My first guest is Ralph Taylor. Ralph is the plaintiff in a federal court case that currently sits waiting approval of cert at the Supreme Court. His case blows the lid off massive corruption in the awarding of federal contracts to minority owned businesses. He demonstrates how thousands of Caucasians may have been granted such contracts, how his DNA test that shows some African and Hispanic blood qualified him for minority status at the state level but not the federal level, and how some Indian tribes are granting tribal membership without having to prove a certain percentage of Native American blood. Somewhere Elizabeth Warren is drooling at the possibilities.
Quick note: no bonus segment this week for Patreon, but you really should go check out previous recordings. There’s tons of extra info available exclusively for our patrons, which you can find at patreon.com/BehindTheCurtainWithJeffReynolds.
My Oregon guest this week is Senator Dennis Linthicum from Klamath Falls. Dennis participated in the Senate Republican walk out over the past several days to deny quorum in the chamber in a desperate attempt to slow down some really bad bills being forced on Oregonians by the Democrats, who hold supermajorities in both chambers of our legislature. Dennis explains what the Republicans were protesting and trying to stop, what they got as part of the bargain to return and hold the votes on Monday, and why they had to end their walkout. We also discuss what the landscape looks like as we head into the election year of 2020. You can find Dennis’ writings at thedirtroadeconomist.com and oregonlegislature.gov/Linthicum.
