About this episode

Shad White discusses the need for Mississippi to redraw congressional maps to remove Bennie Thompson and improve representation.

The main focus turns to redistricting. Hour two features Mississippi Auditor Shad White breaking down why Mississippi must follow Tennessee’s lead and redraw congressional maps to remove Bennie Thompson. Shad explains how this ends race-based gerrymandering, helps lift the Mississippi Delta out of poverty, and opens the door for real representation — including black conservatives who actually want to serve their communities.
