**✅ Podcast Description for Episode #1,246 of The Clay Edwards Show** Welcome to Episode 1,246 of The Clay Edwards Show — unfiltered, no sugar added talk radio from right here in Central Mississippi. In the first hour, Clay dives deep into the tragic Senatobia shooting death of 1-year-old Cohen Wiley. He breaks down the mother's highly questionable behavior at the child's funeral, her use of the baby as a human shield during the chaos, and why she should face serious charges including child endangerment and accessory. Clay also exposes the driver of the vehicle, Latoya Farrell, and calls out the online mob threatening the involved police officer.

**Podcast Description – Episode #1245** On this episode, Clay reacts to the shocking news that Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens has taken a plea deal in the Jackson Convention Center bribery scandal just two weeks before trial. Owens pleaded guilty to conspiracy and faces a maximum of five years, a move that caught many off guard given his earlier insistence that he would go to trial. Clay is joined by a strong legal panel: Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County ADA turned criminal defense attorney), Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com, and Scott Gilbert, a veteran criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor who recently secured a major federal win. Together they break down the plea deal, what Owens likely gave up in exchange for cooperation, and how this move strengthens the government’s case against the remaining defendants — former Jackson mayor Chokwe Lumumba and former city councilman Aaron Banks. The conversation covers the strength of the evidence (audio, video, money trails), why this was likely the best outcome Owens could realistically get, and what it means for the upcoming trial. They also discuss the broader issues of public corruption prosecutions, deterrence versus community protection, and why results in the courtroom often don’t serve as a deterrent to future crime. It’s a raw, in-depth look at one of the biggest political corruption cases in Mississippi in years.

Former Hinds County Asst. D.A Shaun Yurtkuran joins me for an emergency livestream to discuss the fallout and what's next after the shocking guilty plea from sitting Hinds County D.A Jody Owens, what is next for Chokwe Lumumba & Aaron Banks?

On this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay sits down with Scott McCullough from Live Better Men’s Health and Wellness for a deep dive into testosterone replacement therapy and concierge medical care. They break down the real symptoms men are dealing with — brain fog, fatigue, and a complete lack of drive — and discuss how TRT is changing lives. Clay also opens up about his own experience with testosterone, peptides like Sermorelin, dosing strategies, blood work, and fertility concerns for men who may want kids later in life. In the second half, Clay and co-host Andrew Gasser tear into the weekend’s biggest stories. They discuss the Senatobia Walmart shooting that took the life of one-year-old Cohen Wiley, and Clay reveals new details about the driver involved. The conversation then shifts to a shocking triple homicide in Jackson where two young women and a toddler were gunned down in their home. Clay calls out the glaring double standard in media coverage and public outrage, questioning why some victims get national attention while others are largely ignored. It’s another raw, unfiltered episode focused on accountability, culture, and the issues nobody else wants to touch.

THE NEXT CHARLIE KIRK - SPECIAL GUEST HOST 17 YR- OLD BLAKE BARTLAM (Ep #1,242) I took off the the Neshoba County Fair Thursday and tapped the kid that's being called "the next Charlie Kirk" to fill in for me and he hit the ball out of the park, I've never loaded a guest host's episode but I thought enough of the job he did that I figured we'd save this a special Sunday upload!!

**Caitlin Clark Gets Choked on the Court: Clay’s WNBA Rant | Clay Edwards Show** Clay goes off on the WNBA after a Black player was caught on video appearing to try and choke the life out of Caitlin Clark. He’s fired up, calling it an outrageous attack on the woman who single-handedly saved the league. Clay points out that before Caitlin Clark arrived, the WNBA was a failing, unwatchable product that nobody cared about for over 20 years. Now the players have private planes, big pay raises, and mainstream attention — all because of her. Clay questions whether the hostility toward Clark is because she doesn’t fit the league’s “rainbow supremacy” vibe, and he’s not subtle about it. He gives props to Sophie Cunningham and says the player who went after Clark should be facing aggravated assault charges. This is Clay at his most direct: defending the golden goose of women’s basketball while calling out what he sees as toxic, entitled behavior in the league. He ends the rant with a simple message — “Stop the violence.” If you’re tired of watching the WNBA bite the hand that fed it, this segment hits hard. **Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Classic Clay Edwards.**

**Big SCOTUS Win: Trump Admin Can Deport Haitian TPS Holders | Clay Edwards Show** Clay breaks down the major 6-3 Supreme Court victory that clears the way for the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 340,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. The Court ruled that lower courts can no longer block the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to terminate TPS. Clay celebrates it as a huge win for restoring sovereignty and reining in activist judges who have been abusing the system to keep people here indefinitely. He’s direct about what this means: “Time for you to go back home. Get in the hole. Go home.” He points out that TPS was supposed to be temporary after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, but it’s been extended for over 15 years. Now it’s finally coming to an end. Clay argues that Black American communities will benefit the most from removing Haitian gangs and freeing up jobs. He tells listeners that the next time they see someone wearing a MAGA hat, they should shake their hand and say thank you for making their communities safer. He shuts down the racism accusations, saying the ruling was based on country conditions and national interest — not race. This segment is pure celebration of Trump’s immigration agenda finally getting the green light from the Supreme Court. **FAFO Friday just got bigger. A clear win for law, order, and American sovereignty.**

**White Trash vs. Black Gangs: How Real Communities Handle Culture Rot | Clay Edwards Show** Clay lays out one of the core themes of the show: the stark difference in how conservative, predominantly white communities handle their own problems compared to Democrat-run cities like Jackson. He uses the recent arrests of Simon City Royals gang members for burglarizing the Jackson impound lot as a prime example. Clay is clear — he has zero tolerance for white trash either. He calls the Simon City Royals a 25-year nuisance and says they’re no different than the Black gangs destroying Jackson. The difference, he argues, is in the response. In places like Rankin County, Pearl, Brandon, and Madison, Clay says communities actually police themselves. They arrest their trash, set high bonds, shame bad behavior, and remove the problem from the streets. He points to the $500k bond and two SWAT teams used on the Simon City Royals as proof that real consequences still exist in conservative areas. In contrast, he says Jackson enables and excuses culture rot, especially when it comes from within the Black community. There’s denial, victimhood, and a refusal to demand accountability. Clay argues that this double standard is why the violence and dysfunction continue at such high levels in places like South Jackson. His bottom line: Good communities — regardless of race — handle their trash the same way. They don’t make excuses. They don’t play identity politics. They enforce standards and remove the rot. This segment is classic Clay: equal opportunity, no sacred cows, and a clear message that accountability isn’t racist — it’s necessary. **FAFO Friday energy. Straight talk about culture, crime, and consequences.**

**Rap Music is Dead: Clay Calls Out the Culture Rot | Clay Edwards Show** In one of the most direct segments of the episode, Clay goes off on the toxic impact of modern rap and hip-hop culture. He’s blunt: rap has outlived its usefulness. What started as something with real cultural significance has devolved into a nonstop loop of money, drugs, loose women, murder, and materialism — and it’s rotting brains, especially when it’s pumped into kids from the time they’re toddlers. Clay gets personal, admitting he used to love rap, promoted it heavily in nightclubs for over a decade, and profited from the culture. Now he says he regrets it and can clearly see the damage it’s done. He calls out single mothers blasting violent lyrics and sexualized content for their young children and argues that this has real, generational consequences. He highlights a recent Jason Whitlock conversation featuring a Black preacher who described a large segment of young Black men today as looking like “voodoo witch doctors” — with tarantula hair, face tattoos, and the same skinny, uniform look. Clay doesn’t shy away from agreeing, saying once you see it, you can’t unsee it. This is Clay at his most unfiltered: no sacred cows, no hiding behind political correctness, and a clear declaration that **rap music is over**. “It’s a rap for rap music… Rock is back. Rap is dead. Book it.” If you’re tired of the culture rot and want someone willing to say what most won’t, this segment is for you. **FAFO Friday energy. No filter. Pure Clay Edwards.**

**FAFO Friday: Simon City Royals Get Busted | Clay Edwards Show** Clay takes a deep dive into the recent arrests tied to the break-in at the Jackson City impound lot — and he doesn’t hold back. He breaks down the fourth arrest: James Brandon Yelverton of Terry, an alleged Simon City Royal with prior prison time for shooting into an occupied dwelling. Yelverton caught a **$500,000 bond** from Judge Jeffrey Reynolds after being taken down with the help of **two SWAT teams**. Clay also covers the other three arrested: Marshall Fox, Gary Burnside, and Jonathan Brooks. Clay uses the story to make a bigger point: how conservative areas like Rankin County actually handle their own trash versus how Jackson enables it. He calls the Simon City Royals exactly what they are — a 25-year nuisance and net negative on society, no different than the black gangs terrorizing the city. He’s blunt: white trash gets no pass on this show either. From the revolving door of justice (Yelverton was released on his own recognizance in January after felony fleeing) to the cultural rot on both sides of the racial line, Clay lays out why real communities police themselves while Jackson continues to rot. This segment is classic FAFO Friday — no sacred cows, no double standards, just straight talk about accountability and consequences. **Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Exactly what you expect from The Clay Edwards Show.**

**“They Look Like Voodoo Witch Doctors”: Clay on the Generational Curse | Clay Edwards Show** Clay delivers one of the most raw and controversial segments of the episode, quoting a Black preacher from Jason Whitlock’s show who described a troubling segment of young Black men as looking like “voodoo witch doctors.” The preacher called it a generational curse — pointing to the tarantula hair, face tattoos, skinny builds, and uniform look that many of these young men now carry. Clay stops what he’s doing in the studio and says once you hear it, you can’t unsee it. He repeats it multiple times on air: “They all look like witch doctors… Little voodoo witch doctors.” He connects this directly to the violence and culture rot in places like South Jackson, arguing that an evil spirit has been cast over certain communities. Clay is clear he’s not talking about all Black people, but he refuses to pretend the pattern doesn’t exist or that it’s racist to point it out. This segment is Clay at full throttle — using a Black preacher’s own words to say what most media figures won’t touch: that decades of cultural decay have left a visible and spiritual mark on parts of the Black community, and ignoring it only makes the problem worse. **Unfiltered. Uncomfortable. Unapologetic.** This is the kind of conversation you only get on The Clay Edwards Show.

**FAFO Friday | Ep. 1243** On this unfiltered episode of *The Clay Edwards Show*, Clay delivers a full-throttle FAFO Friday breakdown of the stories nobody else in Mississippi media will touch. He opens with the stark contrast between the politicized Senatobia officer-involved shooting and the two black-on-black murders that happened in Jackson before 2 p.m. the same day — including the senseless killing of 19-year-old Forest Hill graduate Javion Clinton on Woody Drive, a kid who was already working and headed to the oil fields. Clay calls out the selective outrage and the refusal to confront the real epidemic of violence in urban communities. From there he goes straight at **culture rot**, arguing that 40+ years of rap/hip-hop has done generational damage. He highlights a recent Jason Whitlock segment featuring a black preacher who described certain young Black men as looking like “voodoo witch doctors” with tarantula hair and face tattoos — and Clay agrees, saying the more people pretend it isn’t real, the dumber they look. Clay also doesn’t spare **white trash**. He breaks down the recent arrests of Simon City Royals gang members (including a guy with a prior shooting conviction) for burglarizing the Jackson impound lot. He uses it as a case study in how conservative communities actually handle their problems versus how Democrat-run cities like Jackson enable and excuse theirs. Big win of the week: SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that the Trump administration can end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 340,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. Clay celebrates it as a restoration of sovereignty and a direct benefit to Black American communities tired of imported gang violence. He also reacts to the wild WNBA moment where a player appeared to try and choke Caitlin Clark, and gives full props to Louisiana pastor Tony Spell — the ultimate FAFO preacher — who handled business when a neighbor threatened to rape and murder his family. Listener comments, merch plugs (buyfafo.com), sponsor shoutouts, and classic Clay rants round out the show. **Strap in. No sugar added. This is reality radio.**

On this episode, Clay reacts to a fatal hit-and-run in Jackson where a black woman killed a white pedestrian and fled the scene, only turning herself in days later. He calls out the lack of outrage from activists and questions the selective nature of “justice” in the city. Clay also pushes back against criticism of proposed AI traffic cameras in Mississippi, arguing that law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear and that more enforcement could help curb reckless driving and crime in Jackson. The show features a clip of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett telling people to support black-owned businesses because “the government definitely not,” along with Clay’s take on a DEI executive who got fired after dumping trash in the street while celebrating the Knicks’ championship. Additionally, Clay reacts to a local food reviewer’s take on Stamps Burger, calling the iconic spot overrated and questioning why so many people hype it up. He and listeners debate the best and most overrated burgers in the Jackson area, with several local spots getting mentioned. It’s another raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic episode of The Clay Edwards Show.

On this episode, Clay spends a significant portion of the show breaking down the viral video of Dasha Kilpatrick, a Texas massage therapist who got into a heated confrontation with two Muslim women at an HEB grocery store. After being selectively edited and doxxed online by activist “Tizzy,” Kilpatrick was fired from her job — but a GiveSendGo fundraiser launched in her support has already raised over $159,000. Clay defends Kilpatrick’s comments, calling her a hero for speaking out and criticizing the selective editing and cancel culture tactics used against her. He also addresses the broader issue of Islam and its incompatibility with Western values. Clay is also joined in studio by recently retired 30-year law enforcement veteran Creston Berch. Together they discuss the Senatobia, Mississippi officer-involved shooting where a one-year-old child was killed after his mother allegedly tried to run over police following a shoplifting incident. They break down the “fog of war” that officers face in split-second decisions and push back against the narrative being pushed by activists and Ben Crump. The show also covers a female police officer in Canada who accidentally shot a civilian during a mass shooting, as well as several other culture war topics including MLB players writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson focusing on “transfemicide” while his city saw dozens shot over the weekend. It’s another raw, unfiltered episode of The Clay Edwards Show.

On this episode, Clay is joined in studio by Shelter Insurance agent Jamie Creel and recently retired Clinton Police Officer Creston Berch. The conversation centers on the officer-involved shooting in Senatobia, Mississippi, where a one-year-old child was killed after his mother allegedly attempted to run over police officers following a shoplifting incident at Walmart. Clay pushes back hard against the narrative being pushed by Ben Crump and activists, arguing that the officer was justified in firing and that the blame lies with the adults who chose to flee and put the child in danger. He calls it a tragic but clear-cut case of FAFO, pointing out the hypocrisy of those quick to riot over this incident while remaining silent about the much higher number of black children killed in black-on-black violence. The discussion also touches on the importance of accountability, the dangers of politicizing every police shooting, and why law enforcement officers are often forced to make split-second decisions with life-altering consequences. Jamie Creel also breaks down insurance issues related to flooding and wind/hail claims in Mississippi. It’s another unfiltered conversation about culture, consequences, and the refusal to accept personal responsibility.

What Is A Doom Loop & How Jackson Is Stuck In One (Ep #1,238)

On this episode, Clay dives into the Senatobia, Mississippi Walmart shooting where a one-year-old baby was killed after his mother allegedly tried to run over police officers following a shoplifting incident. Clay calls it a textbook FAFO case, argues the officer was justified, and says the mother is facing multiple felonies — including murder — once the case reaches a grand jury. He breaks down a video of the mother speaking to media and attorneys, calling out what he believes is scripted misinformation designed to paint the cop as racist. Clay also highlights the glaring hypocrisy between this case and the Carmelo Anthony verdict. He points out that many of the same voices who spent the last week defending Carmelo Anthony for stabbing Austin Metcalfe to death are now rioting and protesting because a cop shot at a vehicle being driven directly at him. The conversation expands into a larger discussion about accountability, “ghetto culture,” fatherlessness, and the refusal to respect authority. Clay plays a voice message from a black woman who listened to the full show and appreciated the honest conversation, and he addresses a viral meme comparing historical Klan violence to modern black-on-black homicide rates. He makes the case that the real issue isn’t race — it’s a dangerous subculture that glorifies violence, rejects personal responsibility, and refuses to comply with law enforcement. It’s raw, unfiltered, and exactly what you’ve come to expect from The Clay Edwards Show.

On this episode, Clay breaks down the officer-involved shooting in Senatobia, Mississippi, where a one-year-old child was tragically killed after his mother attempted to run over police officers following a shoplifting incident at Walmart. Clay argues the officer was justified, calls it a textbook case of FAFO, and says the mother is facing multiple felonies — including murder — once the case reaches a grand jury. He pushes back hard against Ben Crump’s narrative and the protests that erupted outside the Walmart, pointing out the hypocrisy of the same people who spent the previous week defending Carmelo Anthony’s actions now demanding justice when a cop shoots at a vehicle being driven directly at him. Clay also gives an update on independent journalist Sarah J. Fields’ investigation into a Mississippi LLC that was presented as helping domestic violence survivors and families in crisis, but appears to have been used to funnel donations to Carmelo Anthony’s family for his legal appeal. The conversation expands into a larger discussion about accountability, the dangers of “stand on business” culture, fatherlessness, and the refusal to respect authority — themes Clay ties directly to both the Senatobia shooting and the Carmelo Anthony case. He closes with a stark warning about how divided the country has become, referencing a foiled terror plot targeting President Trump’s UFC event at the White House. It’s raw, unfiltered, and exactly what you expect from The Clay Edwards Show.

On this episode, Clay celebrates a big win for the FAFO army after raising over $1,200 in merch sales — with a large chunk going directly to the GoFundMe for Covington County Deputy Yates Rodney, who was shot in the line of duty. He also breaks down how he and others exposed a fake GoFundMe set up by the same “Brady List” grifters who were publicly wishing death on the deputy while pretending to support him on another page. After getting caught, those same individuals threatened to hack Clay’s personal files using the hacker group Anonymous. Clay then dives deep into independent journalist Sarah J. Fields’ investigation into a Mississippi LLC that was presented as helping domestic violence survivors and families in crisis, but appears to have been repurposed to funnel donations to the family of convicted murderer Carmelo Anthony for his legal appeals. He lays out the details of how the Anthony family has been kicked off every legitimate fundraising platform and why so many people are still rushing to support a man convicted of killing a white teenager. The conversation gets raw as Clay addresses the broader cultural issue of why parts of the black community continue to glorify “standing on business” and refusing to walk away from conflict — even when it leads to prison, death, or ruined lives. He connects the Carmelo Anthony case, the Chud the Builder incident, and everyday street confrontations to a dangerous mindset that prioritizes image and retaliation over common sense and self-preservation. It’s unfiltered, unapologetic, and exactly what you’ve come to expect from The Clay Edwards Show.

In this episode of *The Clay Edwards Show*, Clay reacts to the UFC Freedom 250 event held at the White House, highlighting the military flyover, the atmosphere, and fighter Josh Hokit’s blunt comments during his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan — including his claim that “Michelle Obama is a man.” The majority of the show focuses on a tragic officer-involved shooting in Senatobia, Mississippi, where a one-year-old child, Cohen Wiley, was killed. Clay walks through the facts as reported: officers responded to a shoplifting call at Walmart, the suspects fled in a vehicle, and the driver attempted to run over law enforcement before an officer opened fire. The child was in the vehicle at the time. Clay places full responsibility on the adults in the car, arguing that taking a one-year-old along while shoplifting and then trying to run from police created the deadly situation. He pushes back hard against online narratives blaming law enforcement, calling it another example of “culture rot” and a refusal to accept accountability. He also ties the discussion to the recent Karmelo Anthony verdict and what he sees as a growing double standard around self-defense and consequences. This is a raw, no-holds-barred episode focused on personal responsibility, law enforcement, and the consequences of poor decisions.

FAFO FRIDAY (Ep #1,233)

In this special live episode, Clay Edwards goes off-script to expose what he calls a blatant grift involving the “Crime and Accountability Mississippi” Facebook page and its connection to known anti-law enforcement activists. Clay breaks down how the page — which had been posting pro-police content — suddenly launched a GoFundMe for Covington County Deputy Yates Rodney after he was shot and critically wounded in the line of duty. He contrasts this with earlier posts from Shannon Evans (who has publicly identified herself as a moderator and exclusive content creator for the page), where she attacked Deputy Rodney’s character and suggested his past alleged misconduct was connected to the shooting. Clay walks through the timeline, showing how the page and its associated individuals attempted to position themselves as supporters of law enforcement while their personal pages and content have long been focused on attacking police. He highlights Shannon Evans’ on-camera admission that she runs the page, along with her threat to obtain Clay’s files “anonymously.” He also plays a clip of Jamie Partridge (self-proclaimed “Boogeyman”) sharing the video and bragging about hackers and “Anonymous” in connection with Clay’s files. Clay reveals that the page is actually owned by Terry Bonham, who had reached out to Covington County authorities seeking permission to start the fundraiser. While Clay acknowledges he was partially wrong about the intent to personally profit from the GoFundMe, he maintains the core issue remains the hypocrisy of anti-police activists suddenly pretending to support a wounded officer. The episode also covers how the “Crime and Accountability Mississippi” page was deleted in the aftermath, which Clay attributes to internal conflict within the group. He closes by offering to donate a portion of proceeds from his merch sales to the legitimate GoFundMe for Deputy Rodney and his family. This is a direct, no-holds-barred episode focused on accountability, grifting, and the people Clay says are using law enforcement tragedies for personal gain.

In this episode of *The Clay Edwards Show*, Clay breaks down the latest developments in the Covington County Deputy Yates Rodney shooting case. A Covington County deputy reached out directly to Clay with an inside account of what actually happened during the shootout in Mt. Olive, confirming that Deputy Rodney did not shoot first and that both suspects fired on officers before Rodney and his partner returned fire. Clay also addresses the ongoing narrative being pushed by certain online personalities tied to the “Brady List” and “Loon Squad” circles, who have attempted to paint Deputy Rodney as a “dirty cop.” He highlights how one of these individuals tried (and failed) to set up a GoFundMe for the deputy while simultaneously posting disrespectful “Officer Down” imagery the same day Rodney was shot. The conversation also covers Justin Fowler’s recent 5-year sentence and how these same groups continue to operate with a clear anti-law enforcement agenda while pretending to be neutral watchdogs. This episode cuts through the noise and focuses on facts, accountability, and the growing pattern of certain online figures using serious incidents for clicks and clout.

**Podcast Description:** In this episode of *The Clay Edwards Show*, Clay is joined by former Hinds County prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney Shaun Yurtkuran to break down the verdict and sentencing in the Karmelo Anthony case. Anthony, a 17-year-old Black male, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas. The argument started over seating under a tent during rain. Anthony was asked multiple times to leave, threatened to kill Metcalf if he was touched again, and then stabbed him in the chest with a pocket knife when Metcalf touched him. Anthony admitted to the stabbing from the beginning but claimed self-defense. Clay and Shaun cut through the noise and focus on the facts. They explain why the self-defense claim failed, why the jury rejected manslaughter and went straight to murder, and how Anthony bringing a knife to a non-violent school event made the “reasonable fear” argument nearly impossible to sell. They also break down the jury selection controversy, including how prosecutors used peremptory strikes on three Black female educators and why the defense’s Batson challenge was denied. The two also discuss why the defense never filed for a change of venue despite heavy pre-trial publicity and racial tension, and whether that was a strategic mistake. Shaun shares his take on what the defense should have done differently, including putting Anthony on the stand and arguing imperfect self-defense to reduce the charge to manslaughter. Clay closes the episode with a direct message about culture, personal responsibility, and why “you can walk away” is still the right answer — no matter what the streets or social media try to tell young men. This is a no-holds-barred conversation about facts over narrative.

**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. Full episode available now @savejxn on YouTube & X (Ep #1,231)

**Culture and Chaos: How Do We Stop the Black-on-Black Mass Shootings in Jackson?** On this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay breaks down the tragic mass shooting at a trail ride in Jackson over the weekend. An 18-year-old woman, Jordan Worthy, was killed and five others were shot when a fight escalated into gunfire at Grant’s Field. He places the incident in the context of a string of similar mass shootings across Mississippi in recent years — all tied to the same urban culture. Clay argues that these tragedies stem from deep cultural problems: chronically low impulse control, nonexistent conflict resolution skills, fatherless homes, the glorification of violence and “drill rap” lifestyles, and a refusal to directly confront the specific individuals and behaviors driving the chaos. He criticizes the community’s planned “Stop the Gun Violence” march and rally at the Governor’s Mansion, calling the location and framing disconnected from reality. The event, he says, should happen in the actual neighborhoods where the violence occurs — places like South Jackson, West Jackson, or specific violent gas stations and clubs — and should name the gang members, drug dealers, and repeat offenders instead of issuing vague calls for “peace” and “unity.” He contrasts this with school shootings, which he attributes to a different ideological pathology tied to liberal/Democrat politics and what he calls “rainbow supremacy.” Listener texts and chats fuel the conversation as Clay pushes back against excuses that blame everything except the culture itself. In hour two, Clay is joined by Andrew Gosser. They discuss the recent ownership change and menu overhaul at Highball Lanes in Fondren, which removed ribs, catfish, most wings, tacos, and certain liquors — moves instantly labeled racist and an attack on “the black dollar.” Clay and Andrew break down why the changes were really about crowd control, low-spending customers monopolizing lanes, safety concerns after prior shootings, and basic business decisions. They extend the conversation to broader patterns of black business ownership in Jackson, the difference between producing tangible value versus service-only models, and the habit of celebrating ventures simply because they are “black-owned” rather than evaluating results. The episode closes with reaction to President Trump’s appearance on Meet the Press, including his sharp exchange with Kristen Welker and decision to walk off the set while calling out media bias, rigged elections, and the weaponization of government against citizens. Raw, unfiltered, no-sugar-added talk radio focused on the issues Jackson refuses to confront honestly.

FAFO FRIDAY (Ep #1.229)

Clay sits down with Todd Sandridge of Superior Foundation Services to discuss why doing business with local, trusted companies matters more than ever. Todd explains how big out-of-town companies often come into the market with flashy marketing but lack real accountability, frequently use shady warranty tactics, and don’t have the same incentive to stand behind their work. Todd emphasizes that being a local business owner means you run into your customers at church, the grocery store, and your kids’ ball games — which forces you to operate with integrity. He also breaks down how his company not only honors its own warranties but often ends up fixing work done by other companies that won’t stand behind what they sold. Clay connects this conversation to his own approach on the show, explaining why he’s selective about the businesses he promotes and why he believes in supporting local people who actually care about the community they serve. Full episode available now @savejxn on YouTube & X (Ep #1,228)

After protesters showed up outside the station demanding he be fired, Clay delivers one of his most direct and unapologetic opening segments to date. He addresses the protest head-on and makes it crystal clear that he has zero intention of backing down or softening his message. Clay runs through the long list of topics that have made him a target over the years — calling out culture rot, the breakdown of the family, fatherlessness, crime, degeneracy, and defending law enforcement. He also doubles down on his criticism of the LGBTQ agenda, which he has dubbed “Rainbow Supremacy.” He then delivers a clear message to everyone who has ever been offended by his show: he is not sorry, and he will not apologize. Clay closes the segment with a memorable line, telling his critics they can talk about their Bible, their Johns, and their Pauls — but if they keep fucking around with him, they’re going to learn about FAFO 3:16. This opening is a strong declaration that Clay Edwards is staying exactly who he is. Full episode available now @savejxn on YouTube & X (Ep #1,228)

A small group of protesters showed up at the radio station demanding that Clay Edwards be fired for “hate speech.” The protest was organized by several of Clay’s longtime online critics, including one of the main instigators from Panola County. Despite all the buildup and online noise, the protest was a complete failure. Only the organizers themselves showed up, and they didn’t even realize Clay wasn’t at the station that day. Clay breaks down how poorly planned and poorly attended the protest was, calling it more of a “menstrual show” than an actual demonstration. In the aftermath, one of the main organizers was so humiliated by the lack of support that he deleted all of his social media accounts. Clay doesn’t hold back as he mocks the entire situation and makes it clear that these kinds of tactics won’t silence him. Full episode available now @savejxn on YouTube & X (Ep #1,228)

Clay opens the show with heavy condolences for State Representative Price Wallace, who died unexpectedly from a heart attack. Clay remembers Price as a good man who treated people with respect and shares that he had a personal relationship with him. Clay then breaks down the tragic double homicide in Simpson County, where a 17-year-old broke into a home and murdered an elderly couple with no apparent motive. He discusses how the situation unfolded, including initial reports that turned out to be inaccurate, and calls for the death penalty in the case. Clay also addresses the backlash he received for suggesting people pray for the shooter’s mother, who tried to get her son to surrender. He pushes back on the usual “root cause” excuses and calls it what it is — culture rot. This segment covers loss, accountability, and Clay’s refusal to play along with the typical narratives surrounding these types of tragedies.

Clay hands out a new FAFO Championship to Justin Fowler, who managed to turn a 20-day jail stint into a five-year prison sentence. Fowler, who was already on a suspended 10-year sentence for aggravated domestic violence, couldn’t stay out of trouble even for a few weeks behind bars. After testing positive for cocaine and marijuana, Fowler had his probation revoked. But things got worse when Rankin County investigators caught him on camera receiving contraband — including a vape pen — during a jail visit from his attorney and her son. Judge Dewey Arthur wasn’t having it and sentenced Fowler to five years in prison. Clay breaks down how Fowler risked years of his freedom just to hit a vape in jail and calls out the pattern of self-destructive behavior that keeps landing him in trouble.

After a small group of protesters showed up outside the station demanding Clay be fired for “hate speech,” Clay delivers a powerful, unapologetic response. He addresses the protest directly and makes it clear he has no intention of backing down or softening his message. Clay doubles down on the topics that have made him a target — calling out culture rot, the breakdown of the family, fatherlessness, crime, and degeneracy. He also speaks on masculinity, personal responsibility, and his criticism of the LGBTQ agenda, which he has dubbed “Rainbow Supremacy.” His message is simple and direct: he’s not sorry for anything he’s said on the show or online. Later in the episode, Clay hands out a new FAFO Championship to Justin Fowler, who had his probation revoked after being caught with contraband in the Rankin County Jail. Clay also touches on the tragic Simpson County double homicide and offers his thoughts on the case. This episode is a clear reminder that Clay Edwards is not changing course.

**Clay Edwards Show – FAFO Friday: Florida Burglars Get Decades in Prison + Fake Cop Car Warning (Ep #1,225)** On this FAFO Friday, Clay launches a brand-new weekly segment called “The Weekender” — your one-stop guide to all the best live music and events happening across Central Mississippi. He recaps a fun listener appreciation night at Beethoven’s Boardwalk, admits he was wrong about YouTube moderator “Little Nikki” being a guy, and drops a strong FAFO award on two Florida men — Victor Ogiste (35 years, no parole) and Ramone Davis (40 years) — who drove up from Fort Lauderdale and got busted for smashing car windows and burglarizing multiple vehicles at Burn Bootcamp in Madison during the 5 a.m. workout class. Clay sits down with Noah Sullivan of H&H Chief Sales in Carthage to talk about their 4th-generation family business, truck upfitting, trailers, and their new line of affordable electric golf carts and side-by-sides. He also runs down the weekend’s top events (The Weeks at Martin’s Livingston, Velcro Pygmies at Beethoven’s Boardwalk, Molly Ringwalds and Arena Rock Show at Pearl City Park, Make-A-Wish Rodeo, etc.) and rants about multiple major acts pulling out of the Trump administration’s America 250 / Freedom 250 concert after agreeing to perform. Plus, Clay issues a serious warning about a local guy driving a white Dodge Charger decked out to look like an undercover police car — lights, antennas, the works — and tells listeners: **do not pull over for anyone unless they have blue lights**.

TOP 10 DEADLIEST CITIES IN AMERICA ARE ALL MAJORITY BLACK & DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED

BLACK WOMEN ARE TWICE AS DEADLY AS WHITE MEN IN EVERY AGE DEMOGRAPHIC

Clay roast a commenter on the livestream then turns that into a discussing of what crimes are most stereotypical of the white vs. black race by reading WLBT headlines and guessing the offending race

**Episode 1,222: George Floyd Died for the Sins of Black America – And It Was All in Vain** In this hard-hitting episode, Clay Edwards pulls no punches on the six-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. He argues that what was sold as a defining moment for racial justice instead became a blank check for chaos, cultural decline, and self-inflicted damage that has left black America worse off. Clay breaks down how the “mostly peaceful protests,” the billions raised, the corporate virtue signaling, and the defund the police movement all backfired spectacularly. He examines the rapid rise and fall of the post-Floyd narrative through major events like the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal, Stacey Abrams’ defeats, the exposure of BLM’s financial scandals, and the Supreme Court ending race-based affirmative action. The episode features a deep dive into the top 10 deadliest cities in America — all Democrat-controlled and majority black — along with shocking FBI crime statistics broken down by race and age. These numbers reveal staggering disparities, especially among young black males, and raise uncomfortable questions about culture, accountability, and leadership failures. In Hour 2, Clay is joined by Andrew Gasser for further discussion on these crime trends, the state of Democrat-run cities, and real-world examples of cultural decay, including a eye-opening story from a recent Carnival cruise. Unfiltered, data-driven, and no-holds-barred — this is reality radio at its finest.

FAFO FRIDAY (Ep #1,221)

In the second hour, Clay is joined by Shuwaski Young, candidate for Mississippi Secretary of State. They break down the NAACP’s push for black athletes to boycott predominantly white universities in southern states over redistricting and voting rights concerns. Clay and Young criticize the campaign as shortsighted and harmful, arguing it threatens black athletes’ NIL opportunities and long-term financial prospects without offering any real alternative support. Young opens up about his journey from Democrat to Republican, his views on voting rights, crime in Mississippi communities, and why he believes proper redistricting could drive positive generational change. The conversation covers the Democratic Party’s shift left, the need for honest discussions about personal responsibility and crime, and the growing influence of black conservatives in the South.
