Clay Edwards & Damein Donald go ABSOLUTELY nuclear on Episode #1106 over the Memphis thugs who kidnapped a juvenile, ripped his clothes off at gunpoint, forced him to twerk naked, then streamed it on Facebook Live (all three now facing especially aggravated sexual exploitation charges). Clay: “Nobody in the car said ‘yo, this is mad gay' — they just went along with it!” Turns into a full-blown roast of “YN” (young n***a) culture: obsessing over your ops all day, calling your boys “twin,” sabotaging each other's girls, running trains in jail… “Y'all gotta be gay, fam!” Throws in the viral TikTok that's been cooking the timeline and declares the whole crew low-key on the down-low while hiding behind homophobia. Straight savage, zero filter, Mississippi's wildest morning radio #YNsBeGay #MemphisThugs #ClayEdwardsShow #FAFOFriday #DownLowGang

Episode #1106 of The Clay Edwards Show (FAFO Friday) with guest host Damein Donald: Clay comes in fired up after actually sleeping well for once, recaps a fun night at the Ducks Unlimited banquet, then dives straight into the chaos — calls out the two Pearl “thug civil rights” clowns who dressed up in Klan outfits in front of the police department (“you scream racism 24/7 but think this is comedy?”), announces he FOIA'd years of Leon Seals' body-cam arrests and plans to drop the unedited truth next week, laughs at the Houston thief who got electrocuted stealing copper from an EV charger and whose family sued for $3M (classic FAFO), roasts the viral Memphis thugs who kidnapped a kid, stripped him naked at gunpoint, made him twerk on Facebook Live and got slapped with sexual exploitation charges (“these YN's are gayer than a Pride parade”), and closes strong breaking down the new Democrat video telling military & intel folks to “refuse illegal orders” from Trump (“that's straight-up sedition punishable by death — change my mind”). Free speech absolutism, no accountability in the black community, fluoride turning frogs gay, aborted fetal tissue in vaccines feminizing men, and a wild call about Lane Kiffin possibly trolling everyone — all on the table. Unfiltered Mississippi talk radio at its absolute finest #ClayEdwardsShow #FAFOFriday #MississippiTalkRadio #Sedition #PearlClowns #YN

Clay spent the entire first hour of Episode #1105 tearing into the newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein court files with the kind of no-filter commentary that only he delivers. Bottom line: there never was and never will be a magical “client list.” The real blackmail material is locked away in intelligence-agency vaults, buried in boxes inside boxes, and no one from Congress to the President himself will ever get the keys, because that leverage is still far too valuable. What was just released is a batch of documents Epstein's estate quietly handed to Democrats years ago, files they sat on for over a decade because they make their own side look horrific while barely touching Republicans. Clay's prediction is blunt: this isn't about nailing Trump (Trump was the original whistleblower two-and-a-half decades ago, which is exactly why Epstein and his handlers despised him and fed dirt to Democrat operatives). Instead, it's the younger Democrat guard—AOC, Ro Khanna, and that whole crowd—finally shoving the compromised old guard (Bill Clinton, the former Harvard president, and a laundry list of others) off the ship so they can take the wheel. It's a Democrat civil war playing out in slow motion. He hammered the hypocrisy hard: the same people now screaming “justice for the victims” had total control of the government during both Obama terms and the Biden “third Obama term” and did absolutely nothing while Epstein operated in plain sight. Every single victim is in their mid-40s now, cashed massive settlement checks, signed iron-clad NDAs, and could name names tomorrow if they actually wanted “justice” more than money; they don't. Clay wrapped it up with a stone-cold reality check: Democrats had zero sacred cows when it came to smearing Trump, even if that meant openly colluding with a convicted pedophile in 2019. The release is pure political theater designed to burn aging Democrat power brokers while the new guard consolidates control. Trump walks away looking cleaner than ever, and the real files stay buried forever. Raw, unapologetic, and vintage Clay.

Clay dedicated the second hour of Episode #1105 to the escalating war between the Rankin County Sheriff's Department and the New York Times/Mississippi Today over unreleased videos involving the late inmate Larry Buckhalter. After being forwarded an internal email exchange between the sheriff's legal team and the journalists, Clay obtained the three full, unedited videos the outlets plan to feature in an upcoming follow-up hit piece. He posted them publicly and played them in their entirety on air. The clips show Buckhalter, a frequent-flier crack addict who spent enormous amounts of time in the Rankin County jail and had died after release, in three separate interactions with detention staff. In one, he voluntarily puts on a shock vest (similar to a dog shock collar but for humans) and gets zapped in exchange for a Coca-Cola while clearly stating on camera that he was doing it of his own free will. Another has him wearing a party hat, blowing a party horn, and singing “Happy Birthday” to Undersheriff Barry Vaughn. The third captures him telling Vaughn he loved him and was being released that day, then getting playfully startled when a deputy slams a yellow “wet floor” caution sign behind him while others laugh. The New York Times framed these as proof of guards “mocking and abusing” a mentally ill inmate. Clay's unfiltered take was that Buckhalter was never ruled mentally incompetent by any court or medical professional. The drugs had clearly fried him, but he knew exactly what he was doing, had genuine affection for certain staff members, celebrated countless birthdays and milestones inside the facility, and was treated far better (and safer) as a trustee than he ever was on the street. Clay acknowledged the optics are rough (“just because you can doesn't mean you should”) but insisted the full context makes it clear this was horsing around with a willing participant, not torture or mockery. He read the sheriff's department's full response verbatim, which accused the journalists of deliberately spinning harmless (if wild) moments into abuse because it fits their narrative. Callers and texters lit up the lines: some were disturbed by the shock vest, others saw it exactly as Clay did (rough jailhouse humor with a guy who was part of the “family” in that building). Either way, Clay made one thing clear: the corporate media already decided the conclusion before they ever asked for the sheriff's side, and the unedited videos blow their story apart. Another round of Rankin County Sheriff's Department versus the legacy media, and Clay says the deputies come out looking human, not monstrous.

The legendary (and unhinged) caller known only as “Master D” phoned in twice and delivered back-to-back performances for the ages. Call #1 – Underwater and furious He sounded like he was calling from the Mariana Trench on a 1998 GoPhone. After Clay couldn't understand a word, Master D was told to call back with better service. Classic radio chaos. Call #2 – Full-throttle, zero-filter rant Master D returned crystal-clear and immediately went nuclear:

In a fiery, no-holds-barred episode, Clay dives headfirst into two of the biggest stories dominating the headlines: The freshly released Jeffrey Epstein court files and what (if anything) they actually mean. Clay pulls no punches: there is no mythical “client list” coming, the intelligence agencies will never surrender the real blackmail files, and the only people who end up looking worse are Democrats who sat on these documents for years while screaming about “protecting the victims.” He predicts this is less about exposing Trump (that's never happening) and more about the younger guard in the Democratic Party quietly throwing their aging, compromised old guard under the bus. Expect a lot of Clinton-era names to take the fall while the AOC wing cheers it on. Rankin County Sheriff's Department vs. The New York Times / Mississippi Today. Clay obtained and posted the full, unedited videos of the late inmate Larry Buckhalter that the NYT is preparing to blast as “mockery and abuse” in an upcoming hit piece. After showing all three clips in their entirety, Clay gives his unfiltered take: Larry was a frequent-flier crack addict who celebrated birthdays and milestones inside the jail, had genuine affection for certain staff, and voluntarily put on the shock vest for a Coke. Yes, it looks wild. No, it's not the horrific torture the legacy media wants you to believe. Context matters, and Clay lays it all out, side-by-side with the sheriff's department's official response. As always, phones and text lines blew up with callers and texters weighing in on Epstein, Democrat hypocrisy, the limits of “justice” for victims who took massive payouts and NDAs, and whether a drug-ravaged frequent inmate knowingly horsing around with deputies is the scandal the New York Times desperately wants it to be. Unscripted. Uncensored. Zero apologies. This is peak Clay Edwards Show: two hours of blunt commentary, viral video breakdowns, and middle-finger energy to the corporate press. If you like your talk radio raw, unfiltered, and willing to say what everyone else is afraid to say… Episode #1105 is one for the archives.

Clay Higgins) gets shredded live on air Why the real bombshells will never see daylight (honeypot blackmail, protected innocents, and the limits of what Congress will actually release) Plus: the viral “Chud the Builder” race-baiting disaster, the rotting state of American culture across the board, and why excusing the worst behavior in any community is the fastest way to lose the country Two hours of raw, zero-sugar-coating commentary on cancel culture, political corruption, pedophile networks hiding in plain sight, and the fight for what's left of America's soul. If you want safe, corporate “both-sides” talk radio, keep scrolling. If you want the truth served hot with zero apologies, this is your show.

In this eye-opening segment from Episode #1,102 of The Clay Edwards Show on WYAB (November 17, 2025), host Clay Edwards and guest Andrew Gosser unpack Tucker Carlson's explosive exposé on Thomas Crooks—the would-be assassin who shot at President Trump in Butler, PA last July. They delve into allegations of CIA grooming via MKUltra-style mind control programs, Crooks' hidden online footprint (over 20 social media accounts across platforms like DeviantArt, where he used "they/them" pronouns and engaged in furry communities), and his radical shift from Trump supporter in 2015-2016 to hardcore leftist. Clay and Andrew question the FBI's rapid cover-up: quick cremation to hide potential toxicology evidence of psychotropic drugs, deep sanitization of his home (even bleaching walls and removing silverware for DNA traces), and erasure of his digital history despite violent posts about killing Republicans and beheading people—posts that should've triggered NSA flags during peak censorship eras. They highlight Rep. Tim Burchett's claims of Crooks being a "mark" radicalized by deep state operatives, possibly tied to Antifa or socialist movements, and call for dismantling corrupt agencies like the FBI, CIA, NSA, and IRS. Speculation abounds: Was Crooks trans-adjacent and activated as part of a broader left-wing embrace of such communities to shield them from criticism? Why the secrecy around his medical records and prescriptions? Don't miss this unfiltered deep dive into government overreach, mind control theories, and the need for accountability in America's intelligence apparatus.

In this heated segment from Episode #1,102 of The Clay Edwards Show on WYAB (November 17, 2025), host Clay Edwards and guest Andrew Gosser dive into the explosive "MAGA civil war" ignited by Donald Trump's public nuking of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) on Truth Social. Clay declares his allegiance to Team Trump, admitting he's never been a huge MTG fan, viewing her as a grifter whose antics lack authenticity—comparing her to Candace Owens while praising Lauren Boebert's edge. The duo breaks down Trump's lengthy post withdrawing his endorsement, criticizing MTG's constant complaints, low polling for potential Senate or governor runs (around 12%), and her "far-left" shifts, like appearing on The View with "low-IQ Republican-hating anchors" and CNN to apologize for "toxic politics" and call for unity across aisles. They analyze MTG's dramatic responses, including claims of hoax pizza deliveries (pizza doxing), pipe bomb threats at her construction company, and accusations that Trump's "traitor" label is a "dog whistle" endangering her life—phrasing Clay calls straight out of the leftist playbook. Speculation runs wild: Is MTG compromised with compromising photos? Has the Swamp corrupted her, like Liz Cheney or former Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh? Clay and Andrew predict a primary challenge could end her, with redistricting or self-destruction sealing the deal, as she alienates MAGA while cozying up to never-Trumpers like the Lincoln Project. Don't miss this unfiltered breakdown of political betrayal, grifting, and the future of MAGA. Tune in for raw takes on accountability and resisting the left's playbook.

In this special segment from Episode #1,102 of The Clay Edwards Show on WYAB, host Clay Edwards sits down with Joseph Stodghill, owner of Martin's Downtown and Martin's Livingston, for an in-depth interview on the iconic Jackson staple. Joseph shares the rich history of Martin's, founded in 1953 as a simple beer spot and deli before evolving into a beloved blue-plate lunch destination. He recounts how his family, originally in the tire business with Bickton Tire, entered the restaurant world when his father bought Martin's in 1997 from original owner Martin Lester—a close family friend. From its early locations near State Street to the current spot since the mid-1980s, Joseph's stories highlight the bar's transformation from a redneck mecca alongside Shooter's Supply and Big Ten Tires to a vibrant community hub. Clay and Joseph reminisce about riding out Hurricane Katrina at Martin's, where they never lost power and served as a lifeline for locals with food, ice, and drinks amid widespread outages. They discuss the challenges of restaurant life, including consistency in dishes like fried pork chops and country-fried steak, and personal battles with addiction in the industry. The conversation turns to resilience during tough times: Joseph's decision to reopen Martin's after 30 days of COVID shutdowns, facing police visits but standing firm to keep staff employed. He credits a pre-installed water filtration system for navigating Jackson's water crises without major disruption. Looking forward, Joseph talks expansions at Martin's Livingston—a former church now hosting weddings, concerts, and community events like crawfish boils and mini parades. He praises the new Jackson mayor's pro-business approach, improved law enforcement collaboration, and plans for safer St. Patrick's Day parades with potential metal detectors and controlled perimeters. Exciting updates include official rodeo after-parties at Martin's Downtown both weekends.

He debates the Obamas' ongoing relevance in the Black community and contrasts Barack's legacy as advancing gay rights more than Black issues. Hour two features guest Andrew Gosser discussing a "MAGA civil war" sparked by Donald Trump's withdrawal of support from Marjorie Taylor Greene, labeling her antics and left-leaning appearances on The View and CNN. They analyze MTG's responses, including claims of threats and pizza doxing, and her shift toward apologizing for "toxic politics."

In episode #1,101 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards is joined by Damien Donald for an unfiltered dive into current events and personal accountability. The duo kicks off with a viral TikTok story where a Kentucky woman calls conservative Baptist churches, posing as a needy mother with a crying baby, to test their compassion—revealing her ulterior motive tied to abortion debates. They critique the woman's tactics and discuss broader issues like personal responsibility in pregnancy, Plan B availability, and the cultural divide on life choices. The conversation shifts to SNAP benefits fraud, spotlighting a Jefferson Davis County case where a woman was arrested for allegedly receiving over $25,000 by misreporting income. Edwards and Donald explore generational welfare dependency, the lack of positive role models, and how government programs can enable cycles of poverty without accountability. They share laughs over a high-speed chase from Pearl to Jackson, where a shoplifting duo in a Chrysler 300 led police on a wild pursuit, ending in arrests for felony fleeing, shoplifting, and weapons charges. Dubbed the "F'ed Around and Found Out" champions, the story underscores consequences for criminal behavior. On a deeper note, Edwards and Donald discuss their personal pillars: abortion, free speech, the Second Amendment, and faith. Donald opens up about his transformation from a life of crime, drugs, and prison to becoming a first-time homeowner and business owner, crediting discipline, self-reflection, and faith for his turnaround. They emphasize rejecting victim mentality, embracing accountability, and how small daily changes lead to profound growth. The episode wraps with a defense story of a Georgia veteran who fatally shot three masked teens invading his home, sparking debate on self-defense laws and parental demands for justice. Tune in for raw talk on culture, corruption, and redemption that challenges excuses and champions hard work.

CALL OF THE YEAR - MASTER D SAYS "BLACK ARE BOYCOTTING THANKSGIVING & BLACK FRIDAY"

In this segment from Episode 1100 of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay dives into a viral video where a woman calls churches, including Broadmoor Baptist, pretending to need baby formula for her child. The Broadmoor rep refers her to SNAP resources instead of handing over cash, leading the caller to accuse them of lacking compassion. Clay calls it out as a setup and hustle, defending the church for spotting the scam. He plays a rebuttal video from Broadmoor dated October 31—before the call—announcing a $10,000 donation to Madcap in Canton for food aid amid SNAP disruptions, plus a full November food drive at broadmoor.org/missions. Is this exposing hypocrisy or real charity? Clay says the church values the hurting but won't enable bad decisions. Listen for his fiery take on accountability vs. entitlement.

In this segment from Episode 1100 of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay breaks down the closure of Jackson's iconic Bulldog Bar and Restaurant after 25 years on Ridgewood Road. The owners cited post-pandemic business decline—fewer crowds, more people ordering in, and earlier nights out—as the official reason, even donating surplus food to Stewpot Community Services. But Clay calls it out: the real culprit is Jackson's urban decay turning it into a "third world hellhole." White patrons stopped showing up due to safety fears, and the bar never adapted to the shifting "modern urban demographic." He ties it to other recent exits like PetSmart and TJ Maxx relocating to Ridgeland, and Arby's on High Street shutting down. Is crime and demographics killing Jackson's nightlife? Clay says yes—listen for his unfiltered take on why spots like this can't survive anymore.

In Episode 1100 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into a mix of personal rants and hot-button topics. He shares morning commute frustrations, reflects on aging and cold weather, and reignites his controversial stance that addiction isn't a disease—it's a choice rooted in accountability, not an excuse. Drawing from his own past, Clay argues that quitting cures it, unlike real illnesses like cancer or AIDS. Shifting gears, Clay dissects the latest Epstein-related emails mentioning Trump, dismissing them as a "nothing sandwich" meant to smear without substance. He speculates on political motivations and insists if there was dirt, it would've surfaced years ago. The show tackles local issues too: the closure of iconic Jackson spots like The Bulldog, attributing it to post-COVID shifts and urban decline, plus other business exits. A caller announces a "blackout" boycott around Thanksgiving, sparking Clay's sarcastic take on its impact. Clay addresses backlash from a viral video of a woman calling churches for help, playing a rebuttal from Broadmoor Baptist showing their real efforts to aid families via food drives amid SNAP disruptions. Finally, Clay announces a new livestream series for raw debates with critics—face-to-face, no hiding behind anonymity. Tune in for unfiltered takes on life, politics, and culture.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards spotlights a viral TikTok prank where a Kentucky woman calls churches across America, including Broadmoor Baptist in Madison, Mississippi, pretending to need formula for a starving baby. Edwards deems it disingenuous, pointing out the caller's pro-abortion views and hypocrisy, while defending churches as not required to offer immediate aid—they partner with organizations for such needs. Listener calls and texts spark debates on church roles, personal accountability, community involvement, and self-reliance, with Edwards emphasizing that churches serve members first and stereotypes about aid seekers are often earned.

Tune in for raw, no-holds-barred talk on corruption, culture, and solutions.

In this eye-opening episode of The Clay Edwards Show, we dive deep into the frustrating saga of John Arthur Banks, a notorious downtown Jackson, Mississippi bum who's been terrorizing local businesses for over two decades. From my days owning nightclubs in downtown Jackson (2003-2011), I've seen this guy's harassment firsthand. Despite being arrested for burglarizing at least 15 businesses and pleading guilty SIX TIMES, Banks keeps getting released thanks to Hinds County's infamous "catch and release" program. He's free to strike again in a city fighting to recover from eight years under Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba's socialist policies. Jackson beat New York to electing a radical mayor—want proof of "communism done right"? Come tour Jacktown with me. We break down the shocking details from Jackson Jambalaya's latest exposé: Banks' criminal history spanning 2009-2024, lenient sentences from judges like Bill Gowan, William Kidd, Faye Peterson, Johnny McDaniels, and Damon Stevenson, and the DA's failures (shoutout to Jody Owens). Highlights include: 2009: Indicted for business burglary; pleaded guilty, full 5-year sentence suspended. 2017: Burglary at Jocko's Tacos; 7 years, 4 suspended (lived at Gateway Shelter). 2018: Burglary at Stanley's Wine and Liquor; 7 years, 3 suspended (concurrent with 2017). 2019: Burglary at Downtown Snack Shop; 7 years, 2 suspended + drug/alcohol treatment. 2020: Two counts for Greenbrook Flowers and Iron Horse Grill (2019 hits); 7 years, 2 suspended. 2022: Burglary at the Hood Building; 7 years, 2 suspended (no habitual offender enhancement). 2022 (again): 10 COUNTS including La Cazuela, Kiefer's, Shero's, Pizza and Daiquiri Shop, Steve's Deli, Mississippi Farmers Market, Downtown Drugstore, Pig and Pint, Finian's, and Tatum & Wade Law Firm—remanded as part of prior case. 2024: Capitol Police arrest for Downtown Drugstore, Native Coffee, and Lou's Restaurant (plus another); 1-year revocation, but paroled quickly. Indicted as habitual offender—trial set for July 2026. This guy's an economic terrorist, driving away customers and businesses. We also touch on recent closures: Arby's on High Street shutting down for good, plus PetSmart (I-55 North) and TJ Maxx (East County Line Road) relocating to Ridgeland's Highland Colony Parkway. Why? Crime and mismanagement—Jackson going full "Jackson." My raw, unfiltered reaction: No sympathy for these repeat offenders. I've dealt with them for years—most stories are lies, just excuses for dope. Police do their job, but prosecutors, judges, and MDOC keep releasing them. Businesses are fleeing—can you blame them? Sponsored by Men's Health of Mississippi: Guys, if you're dealing with low energy, stubborn belly fat, lack of muscle tone, reduced sex drive, or no morning wood, it could be low testosterone.

Discussing the fallout from the kid being arrested for yelling "F' THE JEWS" at Dave Portnoy in Starkville over the weekend.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — A Mississippi State University student has been arrested and charged with disturbing the peace following an incident over the weekend involving Dave Portnoy, founder and owner of Barstool Sports. Portnoy was recording a "One Bite" pizza review outside a Starkville restaurant on Nov. 7, when someone made an antisemitic comment and threw coins at him. A video of the incident, which was posted to X, has since gone viral. The Starkville Police Department said in a statement that it was made aware of the video over the weekend. McClintock, 20, was arrested Monday and was released after he was processed. "Every person has the right to feel safe and respected in our community," Sgt. G. Brandon Lovelady said in the statement. "Offensive words alone are protected, but when behavior disrupts a public event or risks violence, the Starkville Police Department will take steps to help maintain safety and security." MSU student newspaper, The Reflector, reported that McClintock is a junior majoring in mechanical engineering.

FAST FWD TP 3 MINUTE MARK TO START CULTURE ROT PODCAST - MIDDAY LIVESTREAM (11/10/25

MOBILE SPORTS BETTING IN MISSISSIPPI W/ FRED SHANKS

MASSIVE MONDAY SHOW - 3 FULL HOURS (Ep #1,069)

The first segment of this mornings show was really personal for me, I rehashed some of my biggest personal failures and how I was able to overcome them by accepting personal blame, responsibility and most importantly "Accountability" for my actions that lead to my failures, even if someone else's involvement triggered the failures.

Convicted felon Damien Donald joins the show this morning to discuss felons getting their right to own firearms back after they've paid their debt to society. This was one of the better shows we've done in a while, a steady topic throughout the better part of the entire show past the first segment which was about personal responsibility and being accountable for your own mistakes.

1- Washington County citizens and church leaders are rallying behind their disgraced sheriff, who's just been arrested and charged with drug trafficking—this blind support exposes a cultural decay in the Black community that's even more profound than we thought! 2- BLACK PRIVILEGE STRIKES AGAIN: Yet another prime example of cultural rot—a would-be rocket scientist, engineer, or astronaut turned thug—got arrested for killing a Hinds County Deputy in Vicksburg. A quick look at his rap sheet shows zero reason he should've been free on the streets, but those Black female judges in Hinds County seem to have a soft spot for these fatherless criminals. I've got plenty to unpack on this one.

LET THEM EAT CAKE (HOW DEMOCRATS HAVE TREATED BLACK PEOPLE)

Democrats want us dead, and we should all be preparing for battle!!

Join Clay Edwards for an unfiltered dive into the heart of America's cultural and political battles. In this episode, Clay tackles the corruption plaguing Jackson, Mississippi, and calls out the systemic issues no one else dares to discuss. He explores the push to repeal the 19th Amendment, blaming liberal women voters for societal woes like transgender policies and election outcomes.

DOES EBT BEING DOWN REALLY HURT THE ECONOMY? W/ ANDREW GASSER

GOON SQUAD DERANGEMENT SYNDROME & SELECTIVE BLACK OUTRAGE

EBT APOCALYPSE DAY 3 - FULL SHOW (Ep #1,091)

I was invited to come co-host & produce the Kim Wade Show today with Kim Wade & his guest Allan Ramsey and oh boy, we burned the place down for 2 solid hours discussing the EBT drama, TP USA at Oxford and more!! I really, really enjoyed this. I even had a hater call in and lose his mind on me, I'm pretty sure he called me white trash before hanging up the phone!!

A local lawyer and content creator tried to bait me into going and eating with the homeless people of Jackson so I can understand their situations better because that's what he does. As if he's the first and only person to ever take the time to have conversations with them and try to hear their stories.

A Jackson, Mississippi thug by the name of Bryce Green commented ""someone take the headshot now" under Gov. Tate Reeves photo of him welcoming JD Vance & his wife to Mississippi yesterday. I demand law enforcement treat this like they would if he was a white conservative making the same comments about a Democrat politician.

I'm fed up with people trying to guilt me into doing things like they're they only people to ever do anything for the homeless or less fortunate in the Jackson area. The first segment of the show is me going scorched earth on this issue then that just sets the tone for the rest of the episode.

MADISON MAFIA FORCES RANCH TO CLOSE & FAT WHITE GUYS W/ GUNS ARE FAFO CHAMPS (Ep #1,087)

FAFO FRIDAY W/ BUCK ALLMAN (Ep #1,085)

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards launches a sharp critique against Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office for what he calls a "witch hunt" prosecution of two former Capitol Police officers, Frederickson and Reinholt, over the fatal shooting of Jalen Lewis. Edwards highlights that the AG's own expert witness reviewed the evidence and concluded the use of force was justified and not excessive, pointing to photos of Lewis with guns and drugs at the scene. He expresses shock at the charges, framing it as unnecessary "conservative-on-conservative violence." Edwards also blasts WLBT reporter CJ Lemasters for an article that refuses to acknowledge the officers' innocence, insisting they "didn't do it." The rant underscores Edwards' support for the Capitol Police's role in maintaining order.

To not a single persons surprise, the trans community is upset over the Ed Gein "Monsters" series on Netflix, saying it makes transgender people look dangerous & violent
