The Clay Edwards Show

State Rep. Fred Shanks & my regular co-host Shaun Yurtkuran join the show today as we discuss a new bill Fred is getting ready to introduce that would force elected officials to temporarily step down (with pay) if they've been charged with a felony in conjunction with the use of their office. This is in response to Hinds County D.A Jody Owens being the alleged ring leader in a massive corruption and bribery scandal with Jackson mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and multiple city council members, lobbyist and more.

We also discussed school choice and more.

1- I went back and listened to my first podcast / radio show ever otw to the station this morning and it got me to thinking about how far I've come and how the show has grown into what it is now. It reminded me that I needed to always look for ways to get the audience younger so we don't age out either. I tell a story about listening to a podcast over the weekend with Kelly Earnhardt (Dale Jr's sister and business partner) interviewing the guy who was in charge of sports marketing for Budweiser back in the late 90's / early 2000's when they signed Dale Jr. and he explains how the brand had to get younger to stay relevant, that really resonated with me this week as I look for ways to do that same thing.

2. I will have to go back and listen to the show and update the descriptions later because we hit a lot of flowing topics and I don't recall which order. I'll update as I'm clipping up the video for the shorter clips.

-JPD allegedly fires two cops for pursuing a woman that crashed at a high rate of speed Saturday morning in South Jackson that ended with her running off the road, hitting a tree, vehicle exploding and her dead on arrival without so much as stopping to render help or even calling in the wreck

-Speaking of JPD, four white people were arrested for breaking in the metrocenter mall to steal copper, could these four saltines be the alleged "Ayran Brotherhood" members we were told were stealing copper for the Mexican cartels and transporting it to Houston to sell? We'll take a Clay Edwards Show deep dive investigation into it and see what we come up with.

-Mississippi College announces that its changing its name to "Mississippi Christian University" in 2026 and dropping its football program effective immediately after there season ending loss to in state rival Delta State and finishing with a record of 2-8

Four white people have been arrested in Jackson, Mississippi while breaking into the Metrocenter mall in what looks to be an attempt to steal copper. We take a look back to a story from WLBT on Sept. 30th that claimed the current Metrocenter resident (a movie studio) claimed that Ayran Brotherhood gang members were stealing copper and transporting it to Houston for Mexican drug cartels. I initially called BS on this story, but now I'm questioning my original assumption. Below is the current story from WLBT

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Four people were arrested by the Jackson Police Department for Business Burglary among other crimes.

Jackson Police Department Precinct Two Units responded to 3645 Metro Center Drive regarding a burglary in progress Thursday.

Upon receiving a description of the suspects and the suspect’s vehicle, officers were able to apprehend them on the top-level loading dock.

Suspects forced their way into the building on the lower level of Burlington Department Store.

The vehicle used in the crime was a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado truck with a switch tag.

Located inside the vehicle were guns, burglary tools, and copper wire.

Four suspects were taken into custody and transported to police headquarters to be interviewed.

According to JPD, after the interview, the four suspects were booked into the jail on the following charges:

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Two Jackson Police officers passed the scene of a deadly crash shortly after it occurred over the weekend and did not render aid, the police chief says.

At 5 a.m. Saturday, Jackson Police Department Precinct 1 officers responded to the crash at Cooper Road and Suncrest Drive.

A red Cadillac SUV was traveling south on Suncrest Drive when it left the road, crashed into a tree at the corner of Suncrest Drive and Cooper Road, and caught fire.

According to JPD, the vehicle’s driver, Tina Carter Sawyer, 35, died during the accident.

But, according to Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade, two Jackson Police Precinct 1 officers passed the scene of the accident “shortly” after it happened but did not stop or render aid.

Wade says he questions the officers’ actions, “but, more importantly, their inactions during this situation.”

Following a JPD Internal Affairs investigation, the officers were placed on administrative leave for questionable action and inaction.

According to JPD, the case will be turned over to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, and the findings will be handed over to the Mississippi Attorney Generals' Office.

Shaun and I spend the entire show breaking down the Jackson bribery scandal from an angle we haven't heard from any other shows.

Mississippi's liberal journalist fake quit Twitter / X as part of a national trend because of misinformation and disinformation on the platform, ironically most of that comes from them so it should fix the problem with them quitting the platform. I decided to check in on them to see if the anger addicts had actually followed through with their promise to quit the platform and of course they're full of sh!t and they're all still there!! 

Matt Bishop (host of The Full Story on WYAB) sits in with me to discuss all of the current Trump appointments, Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard & much, much more.
