Six Dead in West Point: Clay Edwards Responds to a Mississippi Tragedy · The Clay Edwards Show

• 0:00
  Thank you for tuning in to The Clay Edwards Show. We had some tragic news unfold
• 0:05
  Friday night into Saturday morning here in Mississippi.
• 0:09
  As we woke up to the news that a man had murdered six different people in the
• 0:17
  small town of West Point, that's up near Starkville in what they call the Golden Triangle area here.
• 0:23
  It's East Mississippi. It's right along the Alabama border, if you're familiar
• 0:27
  with Mississippi and Starkville in that area. you know what I'm talking about
• 0:30
  here. Really doesn't matter.
• 0:32
  It happened here in Mississippi, whether it was Jackson, West Point,
• 0:35
  Gulfport, South Haven, it doesn't matter.
• 0:37
  We lost six Mississippians to one insane madman that went on a killing spree.
• 0:43
  Now, I waited to today to do a story on this because given the ultra-sensitive
• 0:50
  nature of the crime, I didn't want to get anything wrong. I didn't want to speculate.
• 0:56
  I didn't want to kind of do my normal thing where we rah-rah and talk about
• 0:59
  culture rot and all that. That's not this. That's not this today.
• 1:03
  But what I want to get into is what happened.
• 1:07
  I'm going to keep it short. I know it's Monday morning. I got a radio show to do today also.
• 1:12
  But this scent of
• 1:15
  my mind straight back to 2017 when Corey Godbolt did something extremely,
• 1:21
  extremely similar down in Copiah County, Brookhaven area, where he killed eight people,
• 1:28
  seven family members, and one deputy sheriff at three different locations in very similar fashion.
• 1:35
  Executed them all by gunshot, by gun, but very similar.
• 1:40
  Both black men, about 10 years apart in age at the time of the shootings,
• 1:45
  But neither here nor there.
• 1:46
  We got a mental health issue going on. We have evil, evil people in this world.
• 1:51
  And the devil is doing his, devil's working overtime.
• 1:55
  If you don't have a firearm, you damn sure better get one because you never
• 2:00
  know who you may need to protect yourself from.
• 2:03
  These guys both all killed family members, plus one deputy sheriff.
• 2:08
  And kids, the guy Friday night killed a seven-year-old girl after he attempted
• 2:12
  to possibly, allegedly, violate her, we'll say.
• 2:16
  All right, let's jump into it. Again, my name is Clay Edwards.
• 2:19
  If you're new here, I have the host
• 2:21
  of the Clay Edwards Show every Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.
• 2:25
  On 103.9 FM WYAB, the 50,000-watt flame-throwing most powerful FM talk radio
• 2:32
  station in the state of Mississippi, period.
• 2:38
  Point blank. As far as single-tower stations go, we are number one.
• 2:42
  Also, we stream it live right here to YouTube, X and Rumble.
• 2:46
  Hit subscribe, hit like, drop a comment, and welcome to the shit show, as we like to say.
• 2:53
  All right, man, let's jump into it. I'm not going to do a whole lot of talking.
• 2:56
  Let's go to WLBT and let them tell us what Derica Moore, 24 years old, did Friday night.
• 3:06
  And then we'll talk about what happened with Corey Godbolt.
• 3:11
  After that. New details on the mass shooting we first told you about at six.
• 3:15
  Six people are dead, including a seven-year-old after a shooting rampage across
• 3:20
  the county Friday night.
• 3:21
  The shooting suspect is now behind bars.
• 3:24
  Sheriff Eddie Scott has identified the suspect as 24-year-old Derek Moore.
• 3:29
  Investigators say shootings began 7 p.m. at a David Hill Road home where Moore
• 3:34
  killed three relatives.
• 3:37
  Moore allegedly shot and killed his father, Glenn Moore, Uncle Willie Gines,
• 3:41
  and brother Quentin Moore.
• 3:42
  Derrick Moore then stole his brother's pickup truck and went to a home on Blake
• 3:46
  Road and killed seven-year-old Michaela Gines.
• 3:48
  Later, two more victims were found on Silom Griffith Road.
• 3:51
  And again, the seven-year-old, there's some reports out there that he may have tried to assault her.
• 3:57
  Moore was eventually captured nearby and booked on a first-degree murder charge.
• 4:02
  His charges are expected to be upgraded. A preliminary hearing is set for Monday. Scott Colombe.
• 4:10
  Sorry. The DA up there, Scott Colombe, says that he sees the death penalty being on the table for this.
• 4:18
  And as he absolutely should see the death penalty on the table for this.
• 4:22
  Say, if you don't see the death penalty on the table for this,
• 4:25
  I don't know what you call yourself doing.
• 4:28
  Scott Cologne, of course, is running to unseat Cindy Hyde-Smith as senator of
• 4:32
  the state of Mississippi.
• 4:33
  And, you know, if you're looking for an opportunity to inject yourself into
• 4:39
  the prime time, into the living rooms of just about every Mississippian,
• 4:44
  and you're a Democrat also,
• 4:46
  this is your opportunity to show that you can be tough on crime.
• 4:49
  But that's what Mississippians fear a lot about Democrats. And it's what we
• 4:53
  see on our TVs when we cut them on is that Democrats love, excuse me, drink my water too fast.
• 5:00
  Democrats love criminals. I mean, you've got Minneapolis on the brink of civil unrest,
• 5:06
  civil war potentially, because they're defending the illegal immigrants and
• 5:11
  the immigrants who are stealing billions and billions of dollars from them and
• 5:16
  sending it back to a terrorist organization in Somalia.
• 5:20
  They are literally ready to die for those people as one did over the weekend.
• 5:26
  So when we as Republicans, as normal Mississippians, see that and we know that
• 5:31
  there's Democrats doing that and that Trump has completely broken them,
• 5:34
  we have to question ourselves, is a Democrat D.A. in the state of Mississippi?
• 5:39
  Is he going to be like Jody Owens and Jackson and be equally as corrupt and
• 5:44
  George Soros funded, allegedly, on the corruption thing?
• 5:47
  He ain't been found guilty yet. But Scott Colon, he is a George Soros-funded DA.
• 5:54
  Now, I got some friends that are friends with him, and they all speak very highly of the guy.
• 5:57
  But at the end of the day, when you take that sorority money,
• 6:01
  there's going to be a time. You don't know when. You don't know why.
• 6:05
  They're going to call you and say, hey, this pookie got to go and not to jail.
• 6:11
  This is your time to say, you know what? I can be tough on crime.
• 6:15
  I can put the citizens of Mississippi's safety first.
• 6:19
  And we're going to give this guy the death penalty. That's what we want to see, Scott.
• 6:24
  I ain't never said nothing bad about you. I ain't saying nothing bad about you now.
• 6:27
  I mean, I'm a conservative, obviously. It can be hard-pressed to get my vote,
• 6:31
  but that doesn't mean that I won't give you an equal platform to show us what you can do.
• 6:35
  All right, so here's our guy here, Derrick Amore, 24 years old.
• 6:41
  This is a hard 24 right here. I mean, that is a hard, hard 24. Look at that hairline.
• 6:47
  And I ain't trying to be funny. I'm just, you don't know what anybody's going through.
• 6:51
  Now, there was rumors online, all sort of speculation online about just maybe
• 6:56
  potential abuse that he had dealt with growing up.
• 7:00
  We don't know. Something pushes a man to doing that.
• 7:04
  I have by no means making any excuses, but something pushed this guy.
• 7:09
  Something broke in the brain and pushed him to do this.
• 7:13
  Now, I don't believe there would be any,
• 7:16
  insanity pleas or anything like that. I mean, he may try, but that ain't gonna work.
• 7:21
  He ain't gonna get that opportunity. In Mississippi, you don't kill six defenseless
• 7:26
  humans and a six defenseless adults and a seven-year-old child and get to plead insanity.
• 7:30
  We know you're crazy, but sometimes you can just be evil.
• 7:34
  All right. So some of y'all may, some of y'all may not remember, depending on your age.
• 7:40
  2017, nine years ago, March, well, it wasn't March, I'm sorry.
• 7:45
  Sometime in 2017, I've got an update to the story and I was looking at the date on the bottom.
• 7:50
  A man named Corey Godbold killed eight people down in Brookhaven,
• 7:55
  Mississippi, down in that Kapi County area.
• 7:57
  And some of the stories that came out of that were just absolutely tragic.
• 8:00
  One family member was being shielded by a cousin while the cousin was being murdered, being shot.
• 8:07
  And he was playing dead while his cousin was blocking him and being murdered.
• 8:11
  He didn't survive. His 11-year-old brother in the living room, murdered.
• 8:17
  Well, let's just let them tell you the story. He was up for,
• 8:19
  he was trying to get his cases, his convictions thrown out, and he has gotten the death penalty.
• 8:24
  He will die at some point here in Mississippi, and I think no time sooner,
• 8:27
  the sooner the better, the sooner the better. But let's go over to WLBT.
• 8:31
  This is an update to the story back in 2024 where the Supreme Court shot down
• 8:36
  his appeal to have his cases thrown out because they were all tried as one instead
• 8:42
  of eight different cases.
• 8:44
  Hold on one second. I've got to switch over to that video. I apologize.
• 8:48
  Here we go. All right. We'll be good to go now. There's Maggie Wade.
• 8:51
  I know y'all love Maggie. All right. Let's start it over here.
• 8:54
  Breaking news for the state's high court in the case of Willie Corey Godbolt.
• 8:58
  The convicted murderer has been on death row since being found guilty of killing
• 9:03
  eight people back in 2020.
• 9:05
  And now the Supreme Court says he will stay there.
• 9:09
  Justices today affirm the lower court's decision to convict Godbolt and sentence
• 9:14
  him to death, effectively denying his appeal.
• 9:18
  Godbolt had argued that the Lincoln County Circuit Court made a number of errors
• 9:22
  during the trial, including denying him the right to an That is just evil.
• 9:27
  That's an evil individual, just soulless, nothing in those eyes. Just hate.
• 9:33
  A filing submitted by Godbolt's attorney said one-third of the jury had ties
• 9:38
  to law enforcement. The state Supreme Court argued the jurors still said under
• 9:43
  oath they could remain impartial.
• 9:46
  In 2017, Godbolt killed eight people, including a Lincoln County deputy,
• 9:52
  after an argument with his wife.
• 9:55
  Lincoln County District Attorney Brendan Adams releasing a statement on the
• 9:59
  decision, saying in part, quote, I'm happy for the families of the victims who lost loved ones.
• 10:04
  I think they got justice again today.
• 10:07
  And Corey Godbolt, again today, was held accountable for his actions.
• 10:14
  Man, there's something going on. I mean, these are two black guys,
• 10:18
  close to the same age, rural Mississippi.
• 10:21
  I mean, there's obviously no connection there, but is there something deeper going on?
• 10:26
  Are we missing the opportunity to prevent these things with some red flags?
• 10:31
  And I don't mean red flag laws like, you know, where they can come in and take
• 10:35
  our guns and who gets to determine what the red flag is.
• 10:38
  And I know a lot of my fellow First Amendment folks just, you know,
• 10:41
  just the thought of that scares us. And, you know, for good reason.
• 10:45
  You know, we don't want anybody to be able to come in and take our guns,
• 10:47
  especially some dastardly Democrats or something, you know, because who decides what's crazy, right?
• 10:55
  Some Democrat neighbor says, hey, Clay's acting crazy, acting all weird.
• 11:00
  You know, you guys probably get his guns. You know, we've got to live where
• 11:02
  a Democrat sheriff or something like in Jackson, Pines County.
• 11:05
  You know, they may say, well, yeah, you know what? He's white. He's a conservative.
• 11:09
  You know, we've been convinced that all these mass shootings are done by white
• 11:14
  conservatives, even though they're not.
• 11:16
  They're done by white transgenders most of the time, LGBTQs,
• 11:21
  or these black guys like this.
• 11:23
  It's very rarely that a white conservative has done any of this stuff.
• 11:27
  But for some reason, we get the finger pointed at us, but they've yet to show
• 11:33
  me one of us doing it. But I digress.
• 11:35
  I don't want to make this about race by no means.
• 11:38
  But I'm just saying, we got to come up with something,
• 11:41
  To where when we know somebody's going through something mentally like that,
• 11:44
  and they could be a danger to themselves and others, we need to figure out a
• 11:48
  way to get them off the streets.
• 11:49
  You know, we got to start putting more money in mental health in this state.
• 11:54
  I don't know where we diverted mental health money to.
• 11:58
  When we closed down the asylums, we got to figure out getting insane asylums
• 12:02
  open back up in Mississippi.
• 12:04
  I mean that with a complete seriousness because of the drug problems that we got in people.
• 12:08
  I think that's what it is. And they just tried to outsource it all to drug rehabilitation.
• 12:13
  No, we got some crazy people. And now that it's homeless and in and out of rehab,
• 12:18
  we need insane asylums back in Mississippi.
• 12:22
  Make insane asylums great again.
• 12:26
  All right, man, I just wanted to remind y'all of that Corey Godbold story.
• 12:29
  They struck a nerve with me.
• 12:31
  It struck a nerve with me when I saw the most recent story.
• 12:35
  And I just wanted to share that for those that didn't remember.
• 12:38
  Because it seemed eerily, eerily familiar.
• 12:41
  All right, guys, I'm actually recording this video. It's Sunday night.
• 12:47
  It's 1030 p.m. I got to be up at 530.
• 12:51
  This video will drop at six and I go live on the radio and right back here online at 707 a.m.
• 12:58
  And I'll be on the radio till 10 a.m. this morning. Monday's a three hour show.
• 13:01
  Of course, we'll hit this story. We're also going to hit the fall of Minneapolis.
• 13:06
  Tim Walls stepping down. What's going on there? How about the Jewish synagogue.
• 13:12
  Beth Israel, being intentionally burned to the ground by an arsonist?
• 13:17
  Come to find out some late reporting from Jackson Jambalaya.
• 13:20
  It is a white 19-year-old male. They have not released his identity yet. I got two questions.
• 13:27
  Maybe it's one. Was he a.
• 13:30
  Nick Fuentes-influenced Gruyper, or was he a left-wing Israel derangement syndrome
• 13:39
  sufferer that hates Israel because the left has told him to hate the Jews?
• 13:45
  You know, we don't have many Jews in Mississippi. This was also the same synagogue
• 13:49
  that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1958, I believe it was.
• 13:55
  So this is not the first time that this synagogue God has been the target of hate attacks.
• 14:01
  We're going to talk about that and more on the show Monday morning.
• 14:05
  You can watch it live right here, 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. YouTube X Rumble.
• 14:10
