The Clay Edwards Show

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.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off with a fiery take on living in interesting times, battling cancel culture, and fighting for unfiltered truth in Jackson, Mississippi. Joined by caller Derek, the conversation dives into personal growth, embracing stoicism inspired by Marcus Aurelius, and the importance of men stepping up as leaders—surrounding yourself with like-minded people to build strength and normalize masculinity. 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.   Later, Clay tackles the bribery scandal involving Hinds County DA Jody Owens, who claims entrapment by the FBI, and questions if others like former Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba will follow suit. The episode heats up with a deep dive into the Supreme Court hearing on transgender athletes in women's sports, featuring audio from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's questioning and reactions from callers like Lindsay Beckham. They slam the absurdity of redefining gender, the slippery slope of locker room access, and how figures like Riley Gaines are standing up for women's rights. Clay argues common sense must prevail, suggesting a WNBA scenario with a transgender player could flip the narrative.   Wrapping up with listener texts and calls on youth radicalization, Clay emphasizes America First priorities while rejecting blanket hatred. Strap in for raw, no-holds-barred talk on culture, politics, and reclaiming common sense.

Join Clay Edwards for a raw, unfiltered Wednesday night livestream packed with politics, culture, and a dose of reality radio. In this episode, Clay kicks things off with a personal update—skipping his morning radio gig after feeling under the weather, only to bounce back with more fire than ever. He shares hilarious AI-generated images of his "typical haters" and dives into viral stories of "ugly liberal women behaving badly," including a wild arrest at a Memphis ICE protest.   The spotlight turns to President Trump's scorched-earth takedown of Minnesota, promising a "day of reckoning and retribution" amid ICE surges targeting illegal immigrants, Somali fraud scandals, and sanctuary city chaos. Clay breaks down Trump's suspension of federal payments to states like Minnesota and California, Bill Clinton's 1995 immigration stance that echoes today's debates, and the Supreme Court's potential ruling to protect women's sports from transgender athletes.   Expect rants on everything from WNBA drama and potential strikes to Somali cultural practices, street preacher brawls, and AOC's latest meltdowns. Local Jackson updates include a Hinds County indictment for synagogue arson and a million-dollar bond for a road rage shooter at Chick-fil-A.   No holds barred—Clay calls it like he sees it, from liberal hypocrisy to traffic woes on I-220.

From Pittman's Instagram posts laced with antisemitic tropes (like "Synagogue of Satan") to his radicalization via online figures like Nick Fuentes, Clay pulls no punches on how a promising life got derailed by hate. Expect deep dives into federal charges, mental health red flags, and why this incident embarrasses Mississippi's image.   Shifting gears, Clay tackles the explosive Hinds County DA Jody Owens bribery scandal, where Owens claims FBI entrapment amid alcohol issues—while admitting guilt in a desperate bid to toss the case.

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.

In a satirical take on recent events, white lesbians are portrayed as enduring an epically disastrous week marked by public humiliation and tragedy. It began with a high-profile incident in Minneapolis, where an affluent white liberal lesbian, part of a couple protesting an ICE operation, was fatally shot after allegedly attempting to drive through agents, sparking riots and backlash that painted activists as reckless "Karens." The survivor, a vocal butch partner, faced online mockery for her aggressive rhetoric and failure to de-escalate, turning her into a symbol of misguided entitlement. Adding insult, the popular TV series Landman aired an episode ruthlessly satirizing a non-binary, liberal "they/them" character—depicted as hostile, vegan, and anti-patriarchy—who gets embarrassed in a college dorm scene, subtly dunking on similar affluent progressive stereotypes. Social media amplified the schadenfreude, with memes labeling it "Karen fatigue" and highlighting self-hatred deflected onto society, leaving the community reeling from real-world loss and fictional ridicule.

On a recent episode, host Clay Edwards sparked a discussion on the intersection of dating and politics after sharing a viral video from Right Angle News Network. In the clip, a liberal white woman on a first date quizzes her companion about journalist Nick Shirley and the Somali fraud scandals he uncovered in Minneapolis, leading to a tense exchange where she defends the fraud as potentially justified while accusing Shirley of racism and breaking into businesses. Edwards reacts strongly, calling it a red flag for over-engagement in politics, and poses questions to listeners—particularly single men and women—about whether they'd date someone deeply politically active, even if aligned ideologically.   He shares personal experiences, noting he's tried dating politically engaged conservatives twice but prefers separating his work passion from home life, avoiding "conservative power couples" who discuss politics nonstop. Edwards emphasizes wanting a partner with shared values who's "awake but not woke"—aware of world events without obsession—allowing room for romance, pop culture, or everyday topics like TV shows. He critiques relationships where one partner is oblivious or overly consumed, suggesting balance is key to avoid constant debate. Listener texts and comments flood in, with some agreeing they'd avoid anyone making politics their entire personality due to toxicity, while others humorously debate navigating such dates. Edwards ties it to broader cultural observations, like self-hate in activist circles, but keeps the focus on personal compatibility in romantic relationships amidst polarized views.

On a motivational Monday, host Clay Edwards kicks off the show with reflections on the chilly winter weather in Central Mississippi, contrasting it with his preference for milder seasons and sharing personal anecdotes about aging and lifestyle choices. He dives into a discussion on dating and politics, reacting to a viral video of a liberal woman quizzing her date on controversial topics like journalist Nick Shirley and Somali fraud allegations. Edwards poses questions to listeners: Do you want a partner as politically engaged as yourself, or is it better to keep politics out of personal life? He shares his own experiences, preferring shared values without constant debate, and critiques overly politicized relationships on both sides.   The conversation shifts to pop culture, praising the latest episode of the TV show Landman for its portrayal of a non-binary character and subtle commentary on liberalism, tying it back to real-world issues like self-hate and deflection in activist circles. Edwards addresses recent news, including a fire at a Jackson synagogue believed to be motivated by hate, with an arrest made but suspect details pending. He critiques the mayor's statement for broadening the focus beyond the incident and questions media handling.   Local crime takes center stage with a recap of a mass shooting in Clay County, where a 24-year-old man allegedly killed six people, including family members and a child, across multiple locations. Edwards draws parallels to a 2017 rampage in Copiah County. Nationally, he critiques NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers for comments on a Minneapolis incident involving ICE, accusing them of misinformation and bias.   Callers and texters weigh in on topics like racism's roots in theology, generational differences in experiences, and societal shifts away from shame and logic. Edwards emphasizes living in the present rather than past grievances, highlighting systemic biases and the need for truthful discourse. The show wraps with reflections on immigration consequences, media sensationalism, and cultural divides.

We're breaking down the latest news regarding a disturbing incident in Jackson, MS. A Jewish synagogue has reportedly been set on fire, leading to an active arson investigation. This act of hate has shocked the community, and we discuss the implications for Mississippi crime. #JacksonMS #ArsonInvestigation #HateCrime #MississippiNews

Thank you for tuning in to The Clay Edwards Show. This episode addresses the tragic mass shooting in West Point, Mississippi, where six people — including a seven-year-old — were killed and the suspect was arrested. Clay reviews the known facts and the developing investigation. He compares the attack to a similar 2017 case in Brookhaven, discusses mental health and public safety concerns, and argues for stronger responses including tougher penalties and improved mental-health resources. The show also previews related local stories and upcoming segments.

Host Clay Edwards highlights liberal hypocrisy in the murder of a young Ukrainian refugee woman on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina, by a black man who allegedly shouted racial slurs after the attack. He mocks Democrats' internal conflict, noting their support for Ukrainians (evident in flags and bios) clashes with the victim being a "pretty white girl" in America—seen as a disadvantage in their "oppression scales"—while the killer is black, from a Democrat city, and fits narratives they defend. Edwards argues liberals weigh factors like potential queerness to decide sides but ultimately can't support a white victim over a black perpetrator unless the latter is Republican, leading to no outrage or protests compared to cases involving police. He accuses them of double standards, prioritizing identity politics over justice, and questions why legal white immigrants face violence without liberal backlash.

Host Clay Edwards candidly admits he's not praying for his political enemies—liberals and "domestic terrorists"—stating he's fed up with their attempts to destroy America, lock up conservatives, and separate society during events like the COVID vaccine mandates. He dismisses calls to pray for them as un-Christian in his view, vowing to let God judge while prioritizing victories over them, and warns they'd send conservatives to "ovens" like Auschwitz if possible, emphasizing no sympathy for those who smiled while harming others.

Host Clay Edwards argues that liberals are misguided by Democratic politicians who promote disrespect toward law enforcement, including ICE agents, by trashing cops and elevating criminals as victims. He cites figures like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Kamala Harris for rhetoric that empowers anti-police attitudes, leading to violent protests, non-compliance, and attempts to harm agents—like the recent Minneapolis and Portland incidents. Edwards compares this to how supporters internalize political messaging, fostering a belief that defying federal authority is justified, even heroic, while ignoring consequences and enabling "domestic terrorists" in blue cities. He warns this creates a dangerous cycle of unrest, contrasting it with conservative support for police and self-defense.

Host Clay Edwards sharply criticizes Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch for prosecuting two former Capitol Police officers, Steven Frederick and Michael Reinwalt, in a self-defense shooting involving suspect Jaylen Lewis, described as a drug dealer who attempted to run them over with his vehicle. Edwards accuses Fitch of hypocrisy, demanding she clarify her stance on law enforcement by comparing the case to recent ICE agent shootings: one in Minneapolis involving an "affluent, ugly white liberal woman" who allegedly tried to ram an agent, and another in Portland with Venezuelan gang members. He argues the officers were fully justified, warns that Fitch's actions undermine police in Jackson amid corruption and anti-police rhetoric from figures like Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and Pastor Pickett, and suggests her decisions empower criminals and "domestic terrorists." Edwards vows to oppose her potential gubernatorial run, emphasizing support for police and calling for consistency in defending self-preservation against vehicular assaults.

In episode #1132, host Clay Edwards recaps the Ole Miss-Miami football game, praising both teams while expressing disappointment in the outcome and highlighting standout players. He discusses stormy weather warnings in Mississippi and shifts to political topics, criticizing Attorney General Lynn Fitch for prosecuting two former Capitol Police officers in a self-defense shooting involving suspect Jaylen Lewis, comparing it to recent ICE agent incidents in Minneapolis and Portland. Edwards defends law enforcement actions against protesters and criminals, questions liberal hypocrisy, and warns of potential civil unrest, urging support for police and border agents while calling out corruption in Jackson and Democrat-led cities.

Listen to my picks for the game & the over / under for tonight's Fiesta Bowl match-up between Ole Miss & Miami

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards revisits the 2020 controversy where the Mississippi Free Press aggressively targeted Petal Mayor Hal Marx, publishing articles like "Petal Mayor Marx's Tweets About George Floyd Draw Calls to Resign" that amplified demands for his resignation over comments suggesting Floyd's death was due to an overdose rather than police misconduct. Edwards argues the mayor was vindicated by later evidence, slams the outlet for failing to issue a retraction or apology, and contrasts it with their silence on related scandals like Minnesota's Somali fraud, calling out media bias in unfiltered style.

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards humbly admits he was wrong about two major Jackson developments. First, he skeptically predicted Thalia Mara Hall would never reopen under city control after its 2024 closure for mold and HVAC issues—but with its scheduled reopening on January 13, 2026, just in time for Broadway returns and Kamala Harris's book tour appearance the next day, he gives props to Mayor John Horhn for making it happen. Second, Edwards doubted the Prado Lofts luxury condo project would ever move forward, calling it a "terrible idea" despite its $50 million scale; now, with groundbreaking set for January 15, 2026, and plans for 135-215 high-end units in Fondren by early 2027, he acknowledges the progress as a significant economic boost, even if he's still not sold on its location near troubled areas. Raw reflections on being proven wrong in the Capital City.

In episode #1131 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into unfiltered discussions on systemic corruption in Jackson, Mississippi, and beyond, spotlighting Minnesota's Somali fraud scandals, massive financial theft, and political fallout. He critiques the George Floyd narrative, recent ICE agent incidents, and threats of civil unrest, while touching on the fight for America's soul, positive solutions in politics, and Ole Miss's Fiesta Bowl matchup. Strap in for raw, no-holds-barred reality radio.

In this fiery episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives deep into the controversial topic of school choice in Mississippi.

He shares personal experiences from growing up in South Jackson and calls out politicians, conservative elites, and think tanks for pushing an agenda that prioritizes charter schools and private interests over local communities. Listeners chime in with their takes, debating the potential for athletic recruiting abuses, unintended consequences like increased violence or teen pregnancies, and why fixing failing districts should come first.

Special Christmas Night Edition: The Clay Edwards Show - Breaking News: Jackson's Deadly Christmas Week    In this gripping holiday episode, host Clay Edwards dives into one of the deadliest stretches in Jackson, Mississippi's 2025 homicide tally—now at 74 with just one week left in the year. Over Christmas week, the city saw 5 shocking deaths (4 official homicides plus one suspicious case) and 2 additional shootings, all packed into a brutal three-day span. Could it have been 7? Clay breaks it down fast and hard, focusing exclusively on incidents within Jackson city limits.   From an 81-year-old woman's remains unearthed in a South Jackson backyard (leading to arrests for desecration of a corpse) to a man shot and burned in his vehicle on Eddy Street, a double homicide of young men on Lynn Avenue, a pre-dawn Christmas morning killing on Luther Lane, and chaotic shootings at a motel and between neighbors—Clay covers the raw details with unfiltered commentary on crime, culture, and the silence surrounding black-on-black violence.   Why no protests? Where's the outrage? Clay calls it like he sees it: "Cultural rot" in the blackest city in America, and a plea for community peace that affects us all.   Sponsored by Men's Health of Mississippi—text "CLAY" to 601-805-1300 for your FREE testosterone screening and kickstart your New Year's transformation!   Don't miss this raw, no-holds-barred recap.

In this episode, I spotlight JD Vance boldly declaring it's okay to be white—no more apologies in America. We dive into the open anti-white discrimination baked into DEI, which has boxed out talented white men for decades, making everything in society worse by sidelining the innovators who built it all. Joined by Andrew Gosser, we tackle the real racism shift: how constant attacks, guilt-tripping, and demands for reparations are fueling black fatigue, turning well-meaning folks against unchecked entitlement. I'm done with the hate—facts over feelings, and we're fighting back unapologetically.

In this episode, I kick off Christmas week with a smooth commute from Brandon, scarfing down an energy drink after a late night of show prep.

Wrap with JD Vance affirming it's okay to be white, calling out anti-white discrimination in DEI that boxes out talent and worsens society—facts over guilt.

In episode #1123 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off Christmas week with a successful charity drive raising over $1,400 to cover adoption fees at local animal shelters, aiming to find homes for pets this holiday season. Edwards shares a motivational quote of the day: "Being surrounded by people smarter than you is an opportunity, not a competition." The episode's fun question: Did you go to Hooters for the food or the scenery? Discussion turns to controversy at TPUSA's Amfest, including a recreated tent from Charlie Kirk's assassination as a photo op and infighting among conservatives like Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. Guest co-host State Rep. Fred Shanks joins for hours two and three, covering legislative plans like banning Sharia law and CAIR in Mississippi, PERS retirement reforms, school choice debates, and sports talk on Ole Miss's playoff run, college football predictions, and DK Metcalf's fan altercation.

The episode features host Clay Edwards discussing his fight against cancel culture and highlighting overlooked issues in Jackson, Mississippi, including systemic corruption. He debunks a viral claim of racism involving police officers, shares why he's shifting holiday charity from aiding the homeless to funding pet adoptions at local animal shelters, and reflects on past community fundraisers. Edwards pays tribute to NASCAR driver Greg Biffle following a tragic plane crash, awards an "FAFO" to a woman fired for harassing an elderly worker over a political shirt, questions a potential cover-up in the Brown University shooting, mentions Trump's plan to return to the moon by 2028, and addresses discrimination against white males. He also takes listener calls and reads texts on these topics.

In this lighthearted segment, host Clay Edwards shares a personal anecdote about his Hey Dude shoes, explaining why he wears them sockless despite the cooler weather. He humorously complains about their intense odor, comparing it to marijuana "stank," and recounts how the smell "punched him in the face" after storing them briefly. Edwards details his cleaning method—removing the soles and washing them (and sometimes the shoes) in the dishwasher with detergent pods—noting it works temporarily but the stink returns after one or two wears. He praises their slip-on convenience but laments the awkwardness of pairing them with socks, admitting he's tried various tricks without success, and jokingly refers to going "raw dog" without them.

In this segment, host Clay Edwards breaks down a heated Jackson City Council exchange where Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes confronts a critic named Harris, who demands Stokes resign over alleged unethical behavior and mismanagement in his district. Stokes repeatedly accuses Harris of being a "dope dealer" since elementary school, questions if he's been jailed for it, and points out his Texas plates while claiming he lives in Texas. Edwards praises Stokes' combative style as entertaining, speculates on their prior history (including a text suggesting Harris might be Stokes' nephew), and mocks the absurdity, calling Stokes a "national treasure" for his unfiltered antics. The clip highlights ongoing tensions in Jackson politics, with Edwards noting Ward 3's decline under Stokes' leadership.

In this segment, host Clay Edwards celebrates President Donald Trump's announcement of a "warrior dividend"—a $1,776 bonus (symbolizing the year of America's founding in 1776) for every U.S. military member, funded by tariff revenues and already en route as a Christmas thank-you. Edwards highlights the surge in military enlistments under Trump compared to the previous year's lows, mocks anticipated leftist backlash labeling it "fascism" while contrasting it with demands for $10,000 student loan forgiveness, and urges Democrat-leaning service members to redirect their checks if they view the U.S. as colonized land. He plays a clip of Trump explaining the bonus and praises him as the greatest president ever.

In this episode, host Clay Edwards addresses misconceptions about marijuana use and driving through personal anecdotes and listener interactions. Responding to a texter's claim that "pothead geniuses" believe marijuana users "don't get out and drive" and just "sit at the house and chill," Edwards shares a story of a FedEx driver who delivered a package while reeking of marijuana, confirming that users do drive under the influence. He humorously admits to once priding himself on being a "really good high driver" in his youth, though he notes it now causes him anxiety. Listener Cheyenne recounts losing her husband to a drug-impaired driver, emphasizing the dangers and irresponsibility of driving high. Edwards also discusses the strong odor of modern marijuana detectable even from vehicles on the road, advocating against public consumption while supporting reclassification, and ties it to broader debates on drug myths and safety.

In this segment, host Clay Edwards sarcastically mocks conspiracy theories from critics with "Goon Squad derangement syndrome," suggesting that Eddie Terrell Parker's methamphetamine possession arrest was a police setup. He quips that detractors likely claim authorities "sprinkled some meth on him" during the Louisiana traffic stop, dismissing the charges as fabricated. Edwards challenges racial stereotypes pushed on "black Twitter" and in comments, noting claims that meth is exclusively a "white trash" or "white devil's drug" and not used by Black people, while highlighting Parker's status as a modern civil rights icon turned alleged meth user. The bit ties into broader critiques of media narratives and victim portrayals in the Goon Squad case.
