## Resource

**Clay Edwards Show – The Hobbs Brothers Strike Again: Deputy Shot, Trail Ride Murder & Culture Rot (Ep #1,231)** Clay breaks down the shooting of a Covington County deputy who was ambushed during a traffic stop. The suspects are Cortavian and Cortavius Hobbs — the brothers of Cortarius Hobbs, the 17-year-old accused of murdering an elderly couple in Simpson County just days earlier. Clay connects the dots between the recent violence, discusses the backlash he received for suggesting people pray for the shooter’s mother, and doubles down on his message about accountability and culture rot. He also covers the arrest of a woman caught with over $400,000 worth of drugs near the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility and calls out the hypocrisy of a trail ride promoter who threw a “stop the gun violence” rally after one of his events turned deadly. In hour two, Andrew Gasser joins Clay to discuss the ongoing violence, mental health, and why some people refuse to face uncomfortable truths. This episode is raw, direct, and unapologetic.
