Kingfish Exposes the Mississippi ABC Liquor Backlog Disaster

**Clay Edwards Show – Kingfish Exposes the Mississippi ABC Liquor Backlog Disaster** Clay is joined by Kingfish from Jackson Jambalaya to rip into the ongoing Mississippi ABC liquor distribution meltdown. Kingfish shares on-the-ground reporting from Arrow Wine & Spirits in Clinton and other stores in McComb and Brookhaven — nearly empty shelves, bare coolers, and popular affordable items (cheap wines like Line 39, big Crown Royal bottles, boxed wine, and Jose Cuervo margaritas) completely unavailable. One store had to cut hours to just one Friday afternoon per week and lay off three employees just to survive. Meanwhile, the contractor Ruan is sending out self-congratulatory emails bragging about a 20% increase in shipping, but actual Department of Revenue numbers show the backlog is still massive (around 170,000 cases) and progress is painfully slow — with some weeks actually going backwards. Clay calls it exactly what it is: Ruan has ruined the system, small businesses are getting destroyed, and the state (ABC, DOR, and Governor Tate Reeves) needs to step in and fix it or get them the hell out. Raw, no-holds-barred reality radio. **The Clay Edwards Show – ABC Liquor Backlog with Kingfish**
