Description
In this no-holds-barred hour 3 segment of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay Edwards teams up with Andrew Gasser to unload on the explosive controversy at Pops Saloon (aka Pops Around the Corner) in Jackson. After videos went viral showing what appears to be full explicit strip club performances — complete with nudity and “spread eagle” stage shows — Clay makes it crystal clear: this isn’t about morality or being anti-adult entertainment.
Legal strip clubs like Danny’s and Babe’s are forced to follow strict adult entertainer licensing, special permits, and heavy regulations. Yet Pops — the same spot that saw a mass shooting on New Year’s Eve that left four people wounded — is allegedly running wide-open illegal strip shows with zero consequences. Clay and Andrew rip into the blatant double standard, the new Jackson mayor and DEI-hired police chief’s silence, and why the city continues letting certain businesses openly defy the law while others get crushed for the same violations.
They tie it straight into Jackson’s bigger problems: 16 murders year-to-date under JPD jurisdiction, a culture of selective enforcement, and how this lawlessness drags the entire city down. Clay calls for real action — pulling the state beer permit, adding the venue to the nuisance list, and finally holding everyone to the same rules.
