Podcasts about Fondren

On today's show, David and Jason talk about what it actually takes to bet on a neighborhood like Fondren — and why, for two people who aren't planning to go anywhere, that bet only keeps getting bigger. TRANSCRIPT: https://www.visitjackson.com/blog/soul-sessions-david-pharr-jason-watkins

**Culture and Chaos: How Do We Stop the Black-on-Black Mass Shootings in Jackson?** On this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay breaks down the tragic mass shooting at a trail ride in Jackson over the weekend. An 18-year-old woman, Jordan Worthy, was killed and five others were shot when a fight escalated into gunfire at Grant's Field. He places the incident in the context of a string of similar mass shootings across Mississippi in recent years — all tied to the same urban culture. Clay argues that these tragedies stem from deep cultural problems: chronically low impulse control, nonexistent conflict resolution skills, fatherless homes, the glorification of violence and “drill rap” lifestyles, and a refusal to directly confront the specific individuals and behaviors driving the chaos. He criticizes the community's planned “Stop the Gun Violence” march and rally at the Governor's Mansion, calling the location and framing disconnected from reality. The event, he says, should happen in the actual neighborhoods where the violence occurs — places like South Jackson, West Jackson, or specific violent gas stations and clubs — and should name the gang members, drug dealers, and repeat offenders instead of issuing vague calls for “peace” and “unity.” He contrasts this with school shootings, which he attributes to a different ideological pathology tied to liberal/Democrat politics and what he calls “rainbow supremacy.” Listener texts and chats fuel the conversation as Clay pushes back against excuses that blame everything except the culture itself. In hour two, Clay is joined by Andrew Gosser. They discuss the recent ownership change and menu overhaul at Highball Lanes in Fondren, which removed ribs, catfish, most wings, tacos, and certain liquors — moves instantly labeled racist and an attack on “the black dollar.” Clay and Andrew break down why the changes were really about crowd control, low-spending customers monopolizing lanes, safety concerns after prior shootings, and basic business decisions. They extend the conversation to broader patterns of black business ownership in Jackson, the difference between producing tangible value versus service-only models, and the habit of celebrating ventures simply because they are “black-owned” rather than evaluating results. The episode closes with reaction to President Trump's appearance on Meet the Press, including his sharp exchange with Kristen Welker and decision to walk off the set while calling out media bias, rigged elections, and the weaponization of government against citizens. Raw, unfiltered, no-sugar-added talk radio focused on the issues Jackson refuses to confront honestly.

**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1219 Recap**   **Guests:** Shaun Yurtkuran (Hour 1 & 2) and Andrew Gasser (Hour 2) ### Mark Fuhrman's Passing & OJ Simpson Trial Reflections Clay opened by discussing the passing of Mark Fuhrman, the former LAPD detective best known for his role in the O.J. Simpson trial. He described Fuhrman as one of the most iconic and infamous figures in modern pop culture history. Shaun, who has studied the case extensively, noted that prosecutors were aware of Fuhrman's background issues before calling him as a witness. He pointed out that Chris Darden reportedly resisted using Fuhrman, but Marcia Clark made the final decision to call him. Both hosts agreed the prosecution made critical strategic errors, including allowing O.J. Simpson to try on the glove in court. Clay connected the discussion to broader race relations in America. He shared his personal experiences growing up in South Jackson during the 1980s in a diverse neighborhood, attending public schools, and not encountering overt racism in his daily life. He argued that the very public celebrations by segments of the Black community following O.J.'s acquittal damaged race relations and have not aged well over time. Clay drew a distinction between individual Black people and what he called “Black culture rot.” ### Jackson Bribery Trial – The “Free the Land Three” Clay and Shaun devoted significant time to the federal bribery case involving Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and Councilman Aaron Banks, whom Clay referred to as the “Free the Land Three.” - **Jody Owens' defense**: Entrapment. He claims undercover agents took advantage of his alcoholism by getting him drunk during meetings (referencing White Claws and Truly in a photo included in court filings). - **Chokwe Antar Lumumba's defense**: The conduct did not constitute bribery or an official act but was instead standard campaign contributions used to build political influence — behavior common among politicians. - **Marvay Smith**: The Jackson businessman who pleaded guilty early and is cooperating with prosecutors. Court documents referenced an allegation that Owens suggested running license plates on vehicles associated with the undercover operation, expecting them to trace back to the FBI. - **Aaron Banks**: Clay and Shaun discussed the possibility that Banks may ultimately cooperate with the government, given the lighter charges he faces and the potential for a reduced sentence through substantial assistance. Shaun broke down the legal standards for an entrapment defense, noting that it requires both government inducement and a lack of predisposition on the defendant's part. He argued Jody's active participation throughout the scheme makes a successful entrapment claim difficult. Both hosts described the overall operation as poorly executed and amateurish for individuals in such prominent positions. Clay predicted that if Lumumba were to flip and cooperate, it would dramatically increase pressure on Jody to accept a plea deal. ### Hilton Hotel on County Line Road Up for Sale Clay reported that the Hilton hotel on County Line Road is currently up for auction with a starting bid of $1.8 million. He noted the property remains open and operational. The conversation turned to the long-term decline of County Line Road, which was once a major commercial and traffic corridor but has seen significantly reduced activity in recent years. Shaun observed how dramatically the area has changed and referenced an investor who has acquired multiple downtown Jackson buildings at very low prices in recent years. They also discussed ongoing challenges with other downtown properties damaged by past weather events. ### Crime, Security & Business Challenges in Jackson Clay discussed conversations with a bar owner in the North Jackson area regarding recent shootings in a shared parking lot, including one incident that resulted in the death of a young woman who had recently graduated high school during a post-graduation party. Key points raised: - Most of the violence has occurred **outside** the bars in parking lot areas after patrons leave the premises. - The new Jackson Police Chief has reportedly pushed for bars and nightclubs to hire additional private security or off-duty officers at the businesses' own expense. - Open-container policies have contributed to problems, with some patrons assuming they can drink in parking lots. - Clay argued that businesses already pay taxes and are entitled to basic police services, including proactive presence in known problem areas. He contrasted this with the visible success of Capitol Police presence in the Belhaven and Fondren districts, where it has supported revitalization. - Off-duty officer details carry significant costs, and requiring multiple officers for larger lots places a heavy financial burden on small business owners. - Both Clay and Andrew emphasized that Jackson is in an “enforcement phase” and criticized the idea of additional studies on the root causes of crime while immediate enforcement remains insufficient. ### Disturbing Murder Statistics Clay presented FBI-derived statistics from 2021 showing stark disparities in murder offending rates by race and age group: - Black males ages 15–24: 207.4 murders per 100,000 - Black males ages 5–14: 4.9 per 100,000 - White males ages 15–64: 5.2 per 100,000 He highlighted that Black children ages 5–14 commit murders at a rate roughly comparable to White males ages 15–64. Black females in several age brackets also showed higher rates than White males. Clay described the numbers as deeply concerning and attributed the patterns primarily to cultural factors, including family breakdown and the absence of strong moral foundations. Andrew agreed the data reflects serious cultural problems that require honest internal examination within affected communities. ### Civil Rights Education & Upcoming Protests Clay argued that the way civil rights history is currently taught in schools has created a built-in excuse for failure and conditioned young people to view themselves as perpetual victims. He suggested the material should remain available for independent study but questioned its prominent role in K-12 education, claiming it often fuels grievance rather than preparing students for real-world accountability. He referenced organized efforts promoting a “Day of Action” protest regarding recent Supreme Court rulings on voting maps, framing it as part of ongoing narratives around voter suppression

**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1219**   **Focus: Jackson Nightclubs vs. the City of Jackson and Jackson Police Department** During the show, Clay Edwards discussed the growing tension between bar and nightclub owners in Jackson and city leadership, particularly the Jackson Police Department and the new police chief. He framed it as businesses being forced to solve problems that he believes should be handled through normal city services. ### The Situation Clay Described Clay spoke with a bar owner in North Jackson whose establishment is located in a strip mall with multiple bars. Recent shootings in the shared parking lot have hurt business, including one incident where a young woman who had recently graduated high school was killed during a post-graduation party. Clay noted that in most cases, the violence occurs **outside** the bars after people leave the premises — not inside the venues themselves. He pointed out that several of the bars in the area (including well-run spots like the Hideaway, Fourth and Goal, and Capital Grille) already maintain security inside their establishments. The problems arise in the common parking areas of the strip mall. ### The City's Position According to Clay, the new Jackson Police Chief has pushed for bars and nightclubs to hire additional private security or off-duty police officers at the businesses' own expense. The idea is to reduce the department's involvement in handling issues at these locations. Clay also mentioned that open-container rules previously signed by Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba have contributed to the problem, as some patrons now feel entitled to drink in parking lots. ### Clay's Argument Against the City's Approach Clay strongly disagreed with shifting the full burden onto business owners. His main points were: - Businesses already pay property taxes and sales taxes to the city and are therefore entitled to basic police services, just like homeowners. - Making bars pay for extra off-duty officers (reportedly around $475 per night, with multiple officers often needed for larger lots) places an unfair financial strain on small business owners. - The violence is happening in public or semi-public spaces (parking lots), and the city should provide proactive policing in known problem areas rather than forcing businesses to cover the cost. - A police precinct is located nearby, so regular drive-through presence should be feasible without requiring businesses to pay extra. - Jackson often treats businesses — especially entertainment venues — as adversaries rather than partners. Clay said, in effect, that when you operate a business in Jackson, you are “in business against Jackson.” He contrasted this with the Belhaven and Fondren areas, where Capitol Police maintain a visible presence. Clay argued that this proactive approach has helped those districts remain safer and more successful, and he questioned why similar support isn't extended to other parts of the city. ### Clay's View on Responsibility Clay acknowledged that bars should handle security **inside** their venues. However, he maintained that once people leave and enter the parking lot or public areas, it becomes a broader public safety issue that the city and police department should address. He said businesses cannot reasonably be expected to control behavior after patrons get into their cars and leave the property. He also noted that well-run bars are already spending significant money on internal security and that additional mandates could push some establishments out of business or force them to relocate. ### Overall Takeaway from the Discussion Clay presented the conflict as part of a larger pattern in Jackson where the city expects private businesses to compensate for weak enforcement and public safety shortcomings. He argued that the focus should be on stronger proactive policing in high-risk areas rather than requiring bar owners to pay for what he sees as basic city services.

**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1,205** Clay opens the show on a somber note, paying tribute to his young neighbor Noah, who tragically drowned in a Brandon lake over the weekend. He shares heartfelt reflections on regret, guardian angels, and the pain no parent should ever face, asking listeners to keep the family in their prayers. He then recaps a massive weekend at Pearl Day in Pearl, where nearly 15,000 people turned out for Hinder and Daughtry. Clay announces he's personally funding concert ticket giveaways all summer long, kicking things off with **three pairs of field-level tickets** (valued at $500+ each) to Zach Bryan next Saturday night in Starkville at Davis-Wade Stadium. Clay dives into Jackson culture rot with a disturbing Fondren grocery store assault on a 76-year-old woman, calling out the lack of situational awareness, community response, and the broader breakdown that allows this kind of violence in public spaces. In hour two, Andrew Gasser joins Clay for a no-holds-barred discussion on the latest assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner. They play a two-and-a-half-minute montage of Democrats openly calling for political violence, then shift to the Baton Rouge mall shooting that claimed the life of an innocent 17-year-old girl during senior skip day. Governor Landry's fiery comments on failed “thug policies,” soft-on-crime judges, and the need for real accountability dominate the conversation. They also expose radical ideology in public schools after Clay reveals a transgender flag and United Nations flag hanging in a Clinton High School classroom, warning that this kind of indoctrination is melting young minds and accelerating the culture rot. Unfiltered, no sugar added reality radio at its finest.

**Clay Edwards Show – Fondren Grocery Store Assault** Clay calls out the shocking daylight assault and robbery of a 76-year-old woman inside the Corner Market grocery store in Fondren — the so-called “good” part of Jackson. A man with wild hair wearing a blue Hawaiian-style shirt knocked the elderly woman to the ground in the middle of a store aisle and robbed her while other customers did nothing. Disgusted by the lack of intervention, Clay enhanced the blurry security photo with AI, shared the clearer image, and challenged the community — especially those who lost their minds over his panhandler photo — to share it with the same energy and help identify the suspect. He points out the photo only got a fraction of the views and shares, exposing the dangerous double standard and the culture rot in Jackson that allows brazen violence against vulnerable people in broad daylight. Unfiltered, no sugar added reality radio at its finest.

Easter at Fondren by Fondren Church

On today's show, we're talking American favorite classic foods with two people who've built their restaurants around it. Jeff Good is the owner of Sal and Mookie's New York Pizza and Ice Cream Joint at The District at Eastover in LeFleur East. Since 2007, he's been making New York-style pizza in Jackson. Fresh dough every day, the kind of slice that folds just perfectly. And Scott Jackson, he's a founding partner of The Pig and Pint in Fondren. A sommelier by trade who got into the restaurant business, Scott was part of the crew that opened The Pig and Pint in 2014, bringing chef-driven barbecue, craft beer, and a whole lot of nostalgia to a neighborhood spot that now draws people from all over the world.

In this unfiltered federal politics segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards breaks down recent comments from Mississippi's U.S. Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker on hot-button immigration issues. First, Clay plays and analyzes Hyde-Smith's video defending her vote against Rand Paul's amendment to defund the HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement, explaining it's essential for caring for thousands of unaccompanied migrant children already in custody—some as young as three—per guidance from President Trump. She calls defunding inhumane without alternatives, emphasizing child welfare regardless of origin. Clay agrees Republicans must win the optics battle against "kids in cages" narratives, admitting he often disagrees with Hyde-Smith but backs her here on legal and moral grounds. Shifting to Wicker, Clay discusses his opposition to turning a Byhalia warehouse into a 10,000-person ICE detention center, arguing it was meant for job-creating economic development and would strain local infrastructure like medical services—despite his full support for enforcement. Initially skeptical, Clay concedes Wicker might be right after group chats highlight the burdens, suggesting alternatives like empty Jackson warehouses (e.g., Metro Center or Fondren spots) for ICE facilities to boost the capital's economy. Raw takes on incentives, accountability, and Mississippi's role in national debates—no sugar added.

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 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.

Street Preacher Segment – Summary A group of aggressive street preachers (the type who stand on milk crates with bullhorns and large signs showing aborted fetuses) regularly show up at public events and venues around the area — the Brandon Amphitheater during concerts, restaurant patios in Fondren, etc. — and scream at patrons, calling women whores, Jezebels, drunkards, and telling everyone they're going to hell. After repeated incidents (including at least one preacher getting punched in the face), the city of Brandon passed an ordinance requiring them to preach from a designated protest zone away from the amphitheater entrance. The preachers refused, returned to the entrance, got arrested, and sued, claiming the ordinance violates their First Amendment free-speech and religious-liberty rights. The case worked its way up and is now headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Host's take (very clearly stated):He is 100% against these preachers and 100% supports the city's restriction.   “This is not legitimate evangelism; this is theater kids putting on a show trying to provoke people into hitting them so they can sue and play victim.”   He compares it to “First Amendment auditors” — attention-seeking grifters, not sincere believers.   Calls what they scream “fighting words” that violate personal space and are designed to start physical confrontations.   “You have the absolute right to your free speech, but you do not have the right to scream it two feet from my family's face while we're trying to eat dinner or enjoy a concert.”   Points out that moving them across the street or to a designated zone (the same way the amphitheater bans firearms for everyone) is a perfectly legal time/place/manner restriction, not censorship.   Says the behavior makes Christians and Christianity look terrible and drives people away from faith rather than bringing anyone closer to God.   “Nobody has ever walked past these guys getting called a whore and thought, ‘You know what? They're right. I'm skipping the concert and going to church Sunday.' Not one single person.” He acknowledged he would fully support the same preachers protesting outside abortion clinics, big-box stores pushing transgender products to kids, or even adult venues doing genuinely harmful things — but screaming insults at random families at a country-music concert or on a restaurant patio crosses the line into pure harassment, not ministry. Bottom line from the host: Their free-speech rights are not being violated; they just lost the right to do it right at the entrance and start fights. He hopes SCOTUS upholds the ordinance.

As the host of The Clay Edwards Show, I'm back in the saddle after a few unplanned days off, feeling like I've been shot out of a cannon. This episode hits hard right from the start—I open up about the sudden loss of my best friend Corey McDonald, who passed away unexpectedly at just 48 years old. It knocked me flat, and I share how grief caught up with me in unexpected ways, like when I instinctively reached for my phone to call him after a chaotic weekend incident, only to realize he's gone. I talk about speaking at his funeral for the first time ever, choking back tears while sharing stories, and how everyone processes loss differently—some hit the field like Brett Favre after his dad's passing, but for me, trying to host a show mentally right after would've been a disaster.   We dive into that viral gas station confrontation from Saturday night, where some clown ambushed me with a phone in my face, hyping himself up for clicks and views while doing nothing but flapping his gums. I break it down play-by-play: I was just grabbing a six-pack after a quick stop at a birthday party, minding my own business, when this studio gangster tried to play tough. He kept repeating "caught you slippin'" but backed down quick when he realized he wasn't getting the reaction he wanted—no violence, no slurs, just me calling him out for what he is. I explain why I didn't escalate: life's about choices, and proving toughness for the internet isn't worth jail or worse. Half the online crowd says I did the right thing, keeping my cool legally; the other half calls it getting punked. But real talk—I ain't changing a thing. If anything, this fuels me to go harder against the left-wing nuts and attention-seekers. They want me to stop? They'd have to kill me, because quitting wouldn't make them back off anyway. I'm not cowering; I'm doubling down on calling out culture rot, absent fathers, and trends in crime that nobody else wants to touch.   Shifting gears, we tackle the pro-Hamas protests right here in Jackson—yes, in Fondren, with signs like "Honk for Hamas." I question who's funding these terrorist supporters and tie it back to local figures who've done similar stunts before. It's unreal how this ties into broader fights, like Israel-Palestine: you start a war, you don't dictate the terms of surrender. That's like that gas station fool trying to shake hands after realizing he'd punked himself out.   In the second hour, we cover breaking news: a seventh death from the Leland mass shooting and another arrest in the Heidelberg homecoming incident—all black-on-black violence that's heartbreaking but needs spotlighting. I rant about the No Kings rally, a cosplay fiasco with protesters in weird costumes, some clueless about why they're even there, others calling for violence against MAGA folks. It felt scripted, dissipating fast like they were off the clock—nothing organic, just gaslighting. We also discuss Donald Trump possibly commuting Puff Daddy's sentence—a massive mistake in my book. No pandering; let these folks face consequences for once.   Wrapping up, I touch on school scandals: a Clinton basketball coach getting 30 years for sexual assault versus a DeSoto County lesbian pastor getting house arrest for the same—unfair sentencing that screams privilege. And don't get me started on woke teachers pushing trans flags and safe spaces in Mississippi classrooms; it's grooming, plain and simple. Plus, a fresh Kamala Harris word salad on "hope" that's as incoherent as ever.   This is unfiltered, no-sugar-added talk—strap in for the reality check. Catch the full episode on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clay Edwards, fighting cancel culture and the soul of America, one raw truth at a time.

On today's show - In a viral, unfiltered rant, a local radio host recounts a hilarious yet ironic moment when Facebook boosted his post featuring a "Black Votes Matter" tour bus parked in Fondren, Mississippi's whitest neighborhood. The algorithm, mistaking his sarcastic commentary for high-quality, progressive content, amplified his reach, sparking a chuckle. The host mocks the bus's bold "We fight back" slogan, tying it to recent videos of chaotic restaurant brawls, hinting at a conspiracy of dine-and-dash schemes.

Easter at Fondren (The Power of the Resurrection) | Robert Green by Fondren Church
