Episode Details

Listener texts and livestream comments pour in as Clay runs an unofficial poll: Andy Gibson, Philip Gunn, Shad White, Lynn Fitch, and Delbert Hoseman all get love from the audience. Clay breaks down what he likes about each man — Andy’s likability and “cowboy” energy, Shad’s analytical surgeon’s-blade style, Philip’s master-diplomat skills that flipped the House, and the fundraising firepower of Delbert and Lynn.

The highlight is a must-hear phone call from Kingfish of Jackson Jambalaya. Kingfish drops real talk on the money chase: Shad White and Lynn Fitch are currently leading in fundraising, but Delbert can raise cash like nobody else. He explains why name ID matters outside the Jackson bubble, why Philip Gunn is strong in Central Mississippi but needs to build recognition statewide, and why get-out-the-vote efforts will decide it all. Kingfish also shares breaking scoop on Lynn Fitch and a major private-prison company donation that’s raising eyebrows.

Clay keeps it real about his personal relationships with the candidates, the flag controversy, and why this primary already feels like the most interesting one of his lifetime. Pure insider analysis, listener interaction, and straight Mississippi political talk.
