WHO ASSAULTED COPIAH FIREFIGHTERS, CONTINUING TO QUESTION THE SCHOOL CHOICE SCAM & MORE (Ep #1,032)


Listen Later

On today's episode of my show, The Clay Edwards Show, I kick off with excitement for the third hour's Heavy Hitters segment featuring The Outlaw Entrepreneur Show. My guest, Lee Bailey from Salad Days, discusses our innovative indoor lettuce farm in Flora, Mississippi, which supplies high-quality, pesticide-free produce to restaurants and stores. I share my positive experience trying our butter lettuce, noting its exceptional freshness and longevity compared to store-bought options, and draw parallels to growing medical cannabis indoors. I recount personal stories, including my anticipation for meeting wrestling legend Ric Flair and a childhood memory of watching NWA wrestling with my grandfather, who despised Flair's antics. The show delves into a serious incident in Copiah County: following a fatal three-car crash involving drag racing, where 18-year-old Kensavion Brown lost his life, his father allegedly assaulted four responding firefighters, sending three to the hospital. I express sympathy for the family's loss but criticize the lack of charges, urging Sheriff Byron Swilley to act and emphasizing accountability for attacks on first responders. I discuss the emotional context but insist such actions are inexcusable, sharing listener reactions and stressing the need for equal application of the law. I address backlash from my recent speech at the Rankin County Republican Breakfast, where I railed against school choice policies. I argue against allowing public school transfers, particularly from Jackson to suburban districts like Rankin or Madison, claiming it invites "cultural cancer" and undermines sacrifices made by families who relocated for better education. I support money following students to charter or private schools but reject public-to-public transfers, citing examples of negative influences and questioning motives of proponents, whom I link to financial gains. A caller challenges my stance, praising school choice successes in neighboring states, but I defend my position as realistic, not racist, and call for a ballot initiative if it's truly popular. The episode wraps with me standing firm on my views and teasing continued discussion.
