Clay pulls no punches, questioning the investigation by Capitol Police, the family's self-defense claims (admitting they returned fire but hit innocents), and potential racial sympathies in the jury that let them off.

In this eye-opening interview, Clay sits down with Michael Jones, owner of Helping Hand Family Pharmacy in Vicksburg, to expose the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) "racket" that's devastating independent pharmacies across Mississippi. Michael breaks down how PBMs—middlemen like Express Scripts (Cigna), CVS Caremark, and Optum (UnitedHealth)—started as claim consolidators but evolved into profit machines through spread pricing, manufacturer rebates, and vertical integration, forcing locals to sell meds below cost and leading to widespread closures. He shares his fight's origin: Post-COVID reimbursement drops hit hard, shuttering stores like People's Drugstore, creating "drug deserts." Michael dug into campaign finances, uncovering PBM-linked donors influencing lawmakers, and went public—posting at his store and on social media—to rally customers. A Mississippi audit revealed Optum paying affiliates 20x more than independents, while PBM profits soar into billions. Urgent action: Support House Bill 1672 (State Affairs Committee) and Senate Bill 2575 (Public Health and Welfare)—bills must exit committee by February 3. Michael urges calls to the Capitol switchboard at (601) 359-3770 to demand fair reforms. Last year's near-win died at the eleventh hour; don't let it happen again. This is a battle for community businesses—stand up before independents vanish!

Shifting to election integrity, they dissect Fulton County's alleged 325,000 invalid Biden votes—potentially flipping Georgia and the 2020 presidency—demanding accountability for laws passed under a "bogus" administration, including judges like Ketanji Brown Jackson. Clay and Andrew pivot to recent ICE confrontations, slamming white liberals' "suicide by cop" antics and debating Second Amendment responsibility: don't pack heat at volatile protests or insert yourself into police stops.

Clay dives into a wild "FAFO" (F*** Around and Find Out) incident in Madison, Mississippi, where brothers Donta "Demon" Palmer (yes, that's his real middle name) and Darius Palmer led police on a chase in a stolen Challenger. The duo allegedly tried to run over officers, leading to shots fired, arrests, and sky-high bonds—$2.25 million for Donta on charges like aggravated assault on law enforcement and felony fleeing. Clay uncovers the Palmers' ties to a notorious Central Mississippi crime family: Donta's dad, Derek Coleman, was killed in a shootout and suspected in his wife's disappearance; his half-brother was indicted (but acquitted) for murdering a Hinds County deputy. Clay warns this thug won't get Hinds County's lenient treatment in Madison—it's time for real justice. Shifting to accountability, Clay blasts Attorney General Lynn Fitch for acting like a "George Soros-funded DA," prosecuting law enforcement officers who defend themselves against suspects trying to run them over. He references her indicting former Capitol Police officers for ventilating a drug-dealing suspect in a pursuit, questioning how she reconciles this with supporting ICE agents in similar cases. Clay vows to hammer this if Fitch runs for governor, arguing her approach risks "dead cops" hesitating in life-or-death moments and erodes trust in law enforcement.

Finally, Fred draws from his 30 years as a pharmacist to expose the PBM racket—pharmacy benefit managers owned by big insurers and chains like CVS, clawing back millions and forcing independents to close. They call for transparency and reform to save community lifelines that sponsor Little Leagues, deliver midnight meds, and beat big-box prices. Listeners: Contact your reps to push PBM changes before independents vanish. Unfiltered insights on accountability, street safety, and small-business survival—straight talk from two Mississippi originals.

In this breaking-news segment from The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards gleefully dives into Don Lemon's early Friday arrest by federal agents under the FACE Act (dubbed the "KKK Act" with a modern spin) for his role in a church protest in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Clay mocks the former CNN anchor—calling him "Lemonhead"—for allegedly storming a church like the "beaches of Normandy" around MLK Day, charging him with conspiracy to deprive rights while claiming he was just "reporting." Pulling from liberal outlets like Daily Beast (for those "liberal tears") and Fox News, Clay contrasts Lemon's defense with his own take: this wasn't journalism; Lemon was complicit, like an accessory in a bank robbery getaway car. Tying it to "consequence culture" replacing cancel culture, Clay celebrates the shift—Democrats facing repercussions after years without—and links it to recent events like Alex Preddy's case, urging patience as justice unfolds slowly but surely. He warns against media hype suggesting losses for Trump allies, affirming "we're winning" with mugshots and perp walks ahead for Lemon.

In this focused segment from The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards tackles the hot-button issue of Jackson State University's push for a new football stadium. JSU is requesting about $40 million from the state for a "big old shiny castle on a hill," but Clay questions whether taxpayers should foot the bill when other schools like Mississippi State and Ole Miss raise their own funds through alumni donations and expansions. Diving into the numbers, Clay reveals that JSU reported zero dollars in athletic donations for 2022—despite it being their most successful year under Deion Sanders, with sold-out games, national attention, and a SWAC championship. He argues for accountability: if fans and alumni aren't contributing, why should the state? While acknowledging the benefits of relocating from the current off-campus site (which could aid UMMC's expansion into a medical corridor), Clay insists any new stadium must be on-campus for the full college experience, not out in a remote area. Clay shares honest takes on the surrounding neighborhoods, emphasizing common-sense solutions like fundraisers and master plans to generate revenue rather than relying on public money. Listener texts chime in, highlighting JSU's high FCS attendance but stressing the need for fiscal responsibility—comparing it to Ole Miss and Mississippi State's self-funded projects.

Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon calls it a "desecration" of a house of worship, comparing the disruption to 1960s KKK tactics against Black churches. Lemon, who documented the event, is accused of having prior knowledge and even inciting the activists.

STATE REP. FRED SHANKS EXPLAINS HIS "NO" VOTE ON SCHOOL CHOICE

FAFO FRIDAY - SCHOOL CHOICE FALLOUT SHOW (Ep #1136)

Hey folks, Clay Edwards here from Save Jackson. For years, since back in 2018, I've been warning about potential corruption and shady dealings involving former Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba. I called him out for what I saw as red flags, but I got labeled a racist, a hater, and worse—just for daring to suggest the so-called "crowned prince of Jackson" wasn't the saint everyone painted him to be. Well, new court documents unsealed this week—and quickly resealed—seem to back up what I've been saying all along. These come from the federal bribery case against Lumumba, former Councilman Aaron Banks, and DA Jody Owens, tied to a downtown hotel deal. Owens filed a motion claiming entrapment, attaching FBI reports from a confidential informant dating back to 2017. The allegations are explosive, focusing on Lumumba's alleged ties to drug dealers and unreported cash. According to the informant, Lumumba had close relationships with known traffickers, even helping them land city jobs and contracts. One dealer reportedly gave him a truck for his 2017 campaign and was eyeing city deals in return. The docs claim this individual had links to a Mexican drug cartel, laundering money through a Jackson nightclub that Lumumba allegedly visited 2-3 times a week, hanging out in the back room. It gets worse: The informant says Lumumba once called then-Police Chief James Davis to shut down an investigation into one of these associates after an assault in downtown Jackson. Officers were told to stand down. Then there's the cash—thousands unreported. In one instance, Lumumba allegedly got $30,000 in campaign funds through his brother Hondo that never showed up on reports. Another time, in May 2021, after a late-night card game in Edwards where he played and smoked marijuana with his bodyguard, he walked away with $15,000 in cash from someone who supposedly collected bribes from city contractors. Remember, Lumumba hasn't been charged on these specific claims yet, and informants can have motives like lighter sentences. But these FBI files paint a picture of deep corruption. The informant was connected to ex-Sheriff Marshand Crisler, who got prison time for bribery and gun charges. I've been predicting this fallout for years, and now the truth is bubbling up. If you're in Jackson, stay tuned—we deserve better. For more, check SaveJxn on X.

They touch on cultural shifts, from making testosterone great again to the upside-down food pyramid and the need for real masculine role models like GI Joes and Tonka trucks. The discussion shifts to modern challenges in churches, where single men feel alienated by messages focused on family leadership, and explores broader issues like pushing trade schools over college for everyone. Clay addresses the recent synagogue arson by a young man from Madison, examining how online radicalization—possibly tied to manosphere content—twists self-improvement into antisemitism, and calls for getting this under control without infringing on free speech.

Call Of The Day (01/12/26)

In the third hour, host Clay Edwards welcomes guest Andrew Gasser for a dynamic discussion blending local and national headlines, with a heavy focus on the Minneapolis ICE incident and its cultural ripple effects. They dissect viral comments from NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers, playing clips where Kerr calls the shooting "shameful" and a government cover-up, while Rivers labels it a "straight-up murder" targeting "brown people," prompting Edwards and Gasser to accuse them of misinformation, bias, and outdated 2020-era rhetoric. The conversation ties into broader Minneapolis unrest, including riots over the death of an affluent white liberal lesbian protesting ICE, critiques of media sensationalism, and irony in progressive self-loathing—framed as "Karen fatigue." They pivot to immigration consequences, sharing a story of a detained mother's tragic inability to say goodbye to her cancer-stricken teen son, while emphasizing accountability and rule of law. A caller, introduced as "brother" with a military background, interjects to question societal hypocrisy, noting that while the military enforces strict anti-discrimination policies—barring service members from establishments showing bias—Christian churches in Jackson face unchecked vandalism and robberies without similar outrage, attributing the disparity to liberal agendas and urging consistent energy for all victims.

In a segment addressing local news, host Clay Edwards delved into the arson attack on Beth Israel, Jackson's sole Jewish synagogue, which occurred around 3 AM on a Saturday. The Jackson Fire Department quickly contained and extinguished the blaze, and an arrest was swiftly made through collaborative efforts with JPD, ATF, FBI, and the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Sources, including Jackson Jambalaya, revealed the suspect as a 19-year-old white male from Madison, with the motive tied to antisemitism and religious hatred—potentially influenced by far-right figures like Nick Fuentes or left-wing extremism from Fondren's progressive scene. Edwards highlighted the widespread online coverage and virtuous signaling from politicians, but critiqued Mayor John Horn's statement for diluting the focus by lumping in unrelated oppressed groups like those targeted by racism or homophobia, arguing it unnecessarily expanded beyond the synagogue's plight while ignoring daily black-on-black crime in Jackson. A caller, identified as "brother," chimed in to provide a comparative perspective, emphasizing hypocrisy in media and societal reactions. He pointed out that Missionary Baptist Churches across Jackson are fortified with bars on windows, cages around air conditioning units and vans, and face constant robberies, even murders of secretaries, yet these incidents rarely garner the "hate crime" outrage or headlines. Drawing from his military background, he questioned why Christian institutions endure such threats without the same "scene" or condemnation, attributing the disparity to a liberal agenda that prioritizes certain narratives over others, like elderly residents imprisoned in their barred homes. Edwards agreed, urging consistent energy for all victims of crime regardless of faith or race.

In a pointed commentary on modern identity politics, white lesbians are depicted as embodying a profound irony: harboring intense disdain for white men and the "patriarchy" they represent, while simultaneously adopting masculine traits, styles, and behaviors in an attempt to emulate them. This paradox manifests in aggressive rhetoric against male privilege and traditional gender roles, yet many "butch" or gender-nonconforming white lesbians sport short haircuts, wear men's clothing, and assert dominance in ways that mirror stereotypical male bravado—often without the accountability or "punch in the mouth" lessons that temper real men. Drawing from recent events like the Minneapolis ICE incident, where a vocal lesbian couple's confrontation escalated tragically, the narrative highlights self-loathing projected outward: they "hate us because they ain't us," striving to reject femininity while craving the perceived power of masculinity, all while clinging to protections afforded to women. This internal conflict fuels mouthy entitlement, high domestic violence rates in lesbian relationships, and a cycle of misery, as they rebel against the very system they subconsciously aspire to join.
