Fred Shanks on Legislative Wins, Mobile Betting, and Epstein Distractions

Strap in for raw Mississippi politics as Clay Edwards chats with State Rep. Fred Shanks from Brandon in this no-holds-barred "Under the Dome" segment from Episode #1150. Fred breaks down the week's big moves in the House: Mobile sports betting passing (potentially raking in $80-100 million for the state—third time's the charm?), PBM reform to support independent pharmacies, and teacher pay raises to boost education. They dive into the ballot initiative bill finally out of committee, requiring around 170,000 signatures, and Fred's push for a castration bill as a deterrent against pedophiles (it died this year, but it's coming back).   Clay and Fred call out the Epstein files as a massive distraction—why obsess over dead billionaires when immigration enforcement is the real fight tearing up the country? They slam hypocritical politicians dodging ICE support and urge listeners: If you care about these bills, call your senators now and push hard. Plus, insights on California's meddling in Southern states and why mobile betting won't hurt casinos—it's untapped revenue from folks who'd never hit the slots anyway.   If you're tired of distractions and ready for real action on teacher pay, betting, and accountability, this interview demands solutions and exposes the games in Jackson. Listen now and get in the fight!
