Description
In this high-energy episode of the Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off with a motivated Monday vibe, diving into Central Mississippi's hottest issues. He breaks down a dramatic police pursuit in Madison involving brothers Donta "Demon" Palmer and Darius Palmer, who allegedly tried to run over officers in a stolen Challenger. Clay connects the dots to a notorious local crime family, critiques Attorney General Lynn Fitch's handling of similar cases, and calls for accountability in law enforcement prosecutions.
Shifting gears, Clay spotlights the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) "racket" that's threatening independent pharmacies. Guests Robert Jordan of Corner Pharmacy in Flowood and Michael Jones of Helping Hand Family Pharmacy in Vicksburg join to explain how big chains are squeezing out locals through unfair pricing and vertical integration. They discuss key bills—House Bill 1672 and Senate Bill 2575—and urge listeners to contact legislators before the February 3 committee deadline to support protections for community businesses.
In hour three, Clay teams up with Andrew Gasser for a deep dive into the newly released Epstein files, unpacking mentions of high-profile figures like Trump, Clinton, Gates, Musk, and others, while questioning the FBI's delays and global implications.
