A CITY ON THE BRINK - TUESDAY'S FULL SHOW (Ep #764) 05/28/24


Listen Later

-In the wake of a jaw-dropping FBI raid on Hinds County D.A Jody Owens' office and a downtown Jackson bar, whispers of an alleged corruption scandal involving Owens, the mayor, and numerous city council members have Jacksonians on the edge of their seats, wondering, "What's next for the city?" Steering clear of the juicy details, we pose a question to our listeners: should the state intervene and take legal control of Jackson as far as the constitution allows? Enter mayoral candidate Corinthian Sanders with a call that left our audience begging for more! All this and more in the first 20 minutes of our show, folks! Tune in for the rollercoaster ride of Jackson politics!

-Friday in Jackson, Mississippi, a shocking incident unfolded as two black teens, displaying an astonishing level of audacity, were caught on camera brazenly targeting a white family in their driveway. The disturbing footage shows the teens firing at the family before making off with their vehicle. The grandmother and one son were outside the car, while her other son, daughter, and two grandchildren were inside. This brazen act has left the community reeling and sparked a wave of concern about safety and the future of these young individuals.

-I get a text on the Guns-N-Gear text lines from a detractor that say's "black Jackson voters look at anyone I back as a red flag", this begins a rant about exactly what's wrong with Jackson voters and perfectly explains why the city keeps electing complete idiots to run the biggest city in the state. It's because they put their blackness above everything, and nothing else matters as long as the candidate continues the narrative that all of black peoples problems are because of white peoples alleged racism.

-In a twist of irony, a detractor's text to Guns-N-Gear sparks a fiery rant on the pitfalls of Jackson voters' priorities. The message? "Black Jackson voters see anyone I support as a red flag." This candid remark unravels the city's electoral conundrum, shedding light on why Jackson keeps electing "complete idiots" to govern its largest metropolis. The crux of the issue? A relentless allegiance to racial identity, overshadowing all other critical considerations. The result? A perpetual cycle of leaders who perpetuate the narrative of white racism as the root of all black struggles. A bitter pill to swallow, indeed!

-In a surprising twist, a former detractor (Ryan) dials in to share his perspective on Jackson's challenges, sparking a candid dialogue that transcends the city's boundaries to probe racial dynamics in the surrounding counties and within the black community. The conversation reaches a crescendo when Ryan confesses that he once considered me a racist until he started tuning in to my show. I playfully remind him of an old DM where he labeled me a racist and express my pride in his transformation since he began calling into the show last year, ultimately embracing the mantra that "facts aren't racist, realism isn't racism!" This unexpected call stands as one of the most enlightening and engaging moments in the show's history. Oh, and did I mention Ryan is a black man and former Democrat residing in Jackson, fed up with being told not to trust his own observations? A must-listen for any truth-seeker out there!

-A riveting report from Jackson Jambalaya's Kingfish has Councilman Ashby Foote spilling the beans on a peculiar rendezvous at the Capitol Club in downtown Jackson. The clandestine meeting, orchestrated by Hinds County D.A Jody Owens, involved Foote and a duo of investors/developers, all convened to deliberate the enigmatic topic of "how to get business done in Jackson." The councilman found it quite odd for a county D.A to delve into the realm of economic development, especially when the agenda included talks of a potential convention center hotel and parking garage. Talk about blurring the lines between legal and financial realms!
