About this listen

 In this powerhouse segment from The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards sits down with State Rep. Fred Shanks for a no-holds-barred chat on hot Mississippi and national issues. They kick off with the "Kraken" finally unleashing in Fulton County—six years after 2020—with DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard on the ground auditing ballots amid desperate reactions from election officials that scream guilt. Clay and Fred speculate on potential foreign ties (Venezuela? China?) and celebrate the momentum, even floating a bold "Trump 2028" reclaim. Shifting to local streets, they break down Rep. Shonda Yates' bill to seize vehicles in drag racing busts. As fellow reformed South Jackson car guys, they support hitting organized chaos—like trailer queens flipping on Medgar Evers—while protecting casual enthusiasts from overreach. No more shutting down city blocks for high-stakes bets; it's time for real teeth in enforcement, inspired by JPD and Capitol PD feedback. Finally, Fred draws from his 30 years as a pharmacist to expose the PBM racket—pharmacy benefit managers owned by big insurers and chains like CVS, clawing back millions and forcing independents to close. They call for transparency and reform to save community lifelines that sponsor Little Leagues, deliver midnight meds, and beat big-box prices. Listeners: Contact your reps to push PBM changes before independents vanish. Unfiltered insights on accountability, street safety, and small-business survival—straight talk from two Mississippi originals.
