Join us on today's episode we delve into the murky waters of Jackson, Mississippi's political landscape, where the "Hinds County Goon Squad" - comprising Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, Hinds County D.A. Jody Owens, and City Council President Aaron Banks - find themselves embroiled in a scandal that reads like a plot from a political noir. Charged with a staggering 15 felonies related to the convention center hotel development project, this story has all the ingredients for a blockbuster political drama.
 
We're thrilled to have Angela Buckner, Senior Editor at the Mic Magazine, joining us. Angela, a black Democrat female journalist known for her incisive commentary, will share her insights on how this scandal reflects broader issues within local governance, the implications for Jackson's political future, and the community's response.

 

Hosting this potentially explosive conversation is none other than our very own loud-mouthed, white conservative, Trump-supporting radio host, [Your Name], who promises to bring his unfiltered opinions to the table. Together, they'll explore whether there's any common ground to be found amidst the political divide, or if the only thing they agree on is the need for some stronger coffee.
 
Expect a robust discussion on:

• 
  The details of the bribery charges and the convention center project.
  


• 
  The political fallout and what it means for Jackson's administration.
  


• 
  The role of race, party politics, and ethics in local government.
  


• 
  The impact of such scandals on community trust in public officials.
  


• 
  And, just maybe, a moment where both sides might find themselves nodding in agreement.
  

Tune in for a conversation that might not save democracy, but could at least shed some light on why these three officials now wish they had taken up knitting instead. Will they find common ground, or will this be another episode of political ping-pong? Grab your popcorn and join the discussion!
