In Episode #1,042 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards recaps his birthday weekend with unfiltered enthusiasm. Reflecting on a much-improved year—unlike last year's mental struggles—he thanks fans for over 700 social media wishes, texts, and calls.   Friday night kicked off with a lively dinner hangout with friends. Clay indulged in appetizers like fried crab claws, stuffed mushrooms, and fresh-baked bread slathered in sweet honey butter—so filling he barely touched his massive tomahawk ribeye. Having devoured a ribeye steak sandwich there for lunch earlier (followed by a two-hour nap), he boxed up the steak for steak-and-eggs brunches Saturday and Sunday, ensuring he got his money's worth.   Saturday brought a road trip to Philadelphia, MS, for an evening of dining and boxing at Bout Time Brawling—a professional event packed with passion and entry-level pros. First stop: The Porter House in downtown Philadelphia, a spot Clay highly recommends for its phenomenal food and vibe. It's his second visit, perfect for a scenic drive, podcast listening, and quality time with a significant other or friends—a healthy change of scenery.   Arriving late (around 8:30 PM after fights started at 7:00), they caught the main card but missed buddies Tyler Noseworthy (went to decision, goal: avoid knockout) and Bubba (victorious). Highlights included world-famous Mississippi rapper and influencer Topher's first sanctioned pro fight win against a wild opponent; local girls Hailey Schell's David-vs.-Goliath TKO over towering "Pookie" (Hailey, compact and powerful, dropped her like a tree—video on Clay's socials, even shared with Pearl Mayor Jake Windham); and Katy Stegeman's solid victory. The main event saw friend Luke Greenlee (quiet, unassuming beast) go toe-to-toe in a grueling battle, winning on judges' cards to go 3-0. Clay shares raw footage soon, emphasizing the raw power and lesson: "Be careful who you mouth off to—dynamite comes in small packages."   The night was a family affair too—10 people total, including Clay's 76-year-old dad, who rode along and credited testosterone therapy for his renewed energy and quick wit, making the late-night drive home (ending around 11 PM) enjoyable with non-stop conversation. A fountain-of-youth boost visible in Dad's sharper memory and stamina.    

In Episode #1,042 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives deep into allegations against Black Democrat mayors across America for misleading the public on crime statistics. Clay asserts they've been "caught lying," emphasizing that while crime may appear down in reports, it's due to underreporting rather than actual reductions. He questions the existence of prominent Black Republican mayors, suggesting they're overlooked because they don't "play Black for a living."   Drawing from an AP story shared by local media, Clay highlights mayors disputing President Trump's claims of "lawless" cities like Washington DC, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Oakland—all led by Black Democrats. Trump deployed 800 National Guard members to DC after a DOGE employee's attempted carjacking, citing rising crime, homelessness, graffiti, and potholes. Clay mocks the mayors' responses, noting they credit drops in violent crime to youth engagement, gun buybacks, and community partnerships post-pandemic spikes.   Savannah, GA Mayor Van Johnson (African American Mayors Association president): Calls for amplifying voices against rhetoric of rampant crime, claiming no evidence supports it. He views Trump's actions as targeting Black or Democratic mayors, pushing for safer cities via local strategies. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: Scoffs at Trump's remarks, touting 30% homicide drop and 40% fewer shootings. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass: Labels federal intervention a "performative power grab," with homicides down 14%. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (described as LGBTQ+): Reports historic decreases in homicides and non-fatal shootings since 2022, carjackings down 20%, attributing it to a public health approach via violence prevention plans. Scott accuses Trump of exploiting crime as a "dog whistle" and undermining anti-violence funding. Oakland officials: Note 21% homicide drop and 29% violent crime decrease in early 2024.    Clay counters that these "monumental declines" are illusory—homicides may be down 43% in Jackson, MS, but it remains America's deadliest per capita (31.3 rate), topping St. Louis, Louisville, Birmingham, and Baton Rouge (all Southern Black-majority cities). He argues stats are skewed because crimes aren't reported (e.g., ignored 911 calls), and questions if federal intervention in Jackson would be welcomed or labeled racist. Clay criticizes "violence interruption" programs as ineffective replacements for policing, calling the narrative a "grift" for funds, and urges new Jackson Mayor John Horne to distance from such groups.   He ties it to broader issues: Black mayors overlooking accomplishments while gaslighting on safety, with crime enabling more federal aid demands. Clay invites Mayor Horne for dialogue, reserving judgment but warning against "race-adjacent" affiliations.   This segment sparks debate on accountability, with Clay advocating consequences over excuses in "Democrat third-world hellholes."

Clay shares personal updates: a great birthday weekend, a steak-filled feast, and attending Bout Time Brawling fights in Philadelphia, MS, where locals like Luke Greenlee (3-0), Bubba, Topher, Hailey Schell, and Katy Stegeman shine in epic bouts—highlighting underdog stories and the thrill of entry-level pro boxing. Local news hits hard: an 18-wheeler fire delays I-20 traffic near Ellis Avenue, plus a mass shooting in Jackson leaves one dead. Clay calls out "Black Democrat mayors" for allegedly lying about crime drops in cities like Jackson, DC, Chicago, LA, Baltimore, and Oakland—claiming stats are manipulated via underreporting (e.g., Jackson homicides down 43% but still #1 per capita in America). He debates federal intervention under Trump, questions violence interruption programs, and praises testosterone therapy's life-changing benefits. Caller Angela from The Mic Magazine joins for a raw discussion on government assistance abuse, self-preservation in communities, and holding single parents accountable—emphasizing discipline over handouts.

Shaun is back for an epic FAFO Friday show!!

Urban black communities like Jackson, Mississippi and Washington D.C. are some of the most dangerous places on earth, why are the people who inhabit them so violent and dangerous and can we as good Christians do to save them from themselves?

Edwards discusses the Metro Center Mall's proposed $875 million mixed-use redevelopment by Emerchant Capital, covering 70 acres with private and public funding. Skeptical, he recalls failed past plans like an amusement park, high-rise condos, a Randy Travis truck stop, and a movie studio, labeling them pipe dreams. He argues the location in West Jackson dooms retail or residential efforts, suggesting alternatives like a prison, Amazon hub, casino, or charter school to spur economic activity. Listeners propose ideas via texts, including a youth outreach center, solar farm, event hall, or flea market, but Edwards favors job-creating ventures over non-profits.

In episode 1039 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards opens with reflections on living in interesting times, combating cancel culture, and highlighting Jackson's overlooked issues. He shares personal anecdotes, including getting bitten by ants and childhood remedies like bleach baths, while greeting early livestream commenters. Edwards discusses the Metro Center Mall's proposed $875 million mixed-use redevelopment by Emerchant Capital, covering 70 acres with private and public funding.

Listeners propose ideas via texts, including a youth outreach center, solar farm, event hall, or flea market, but Edwards favors job-creating ventures over non-profits. A major segment covers Jackson City Council's new ordinance banning masks (including hoods) in outdoor public spaces to curb crime, proposed by Interim Police Chief Joseph Wade. Approved 7-0, it aims to aid facial recognition and prevent robberies, but exemptions for health, holidays, employment, religion, and ages under 14/over 60, plus no stops solely for mask-wearing, render it ineffective in Edwards' view. He criticizes it as toothless pandering, worsening safety in Black communities by avoiding real enforcement. Edwards announces new co-hosts: Shawn Yurkron returning Friday, and a former Miss Louisiana/Miss Universe contestant next week for pop culture and politics. He requests prayers for a Madison Ridgeland Academy student hit by a truck, a family friend. Briefly, he touches sports (Vikings' gay cheerleaders, Trump's potential executive order on college sports, LSU player aiding murder suspects) and national stories (Sydney Sweeney ad backlash as online exaggeration, a woman's extreme dating demands). Callers debate solar farms in Raymond (policy failures, economic links to AI/data centers) and Jackson's crime influences like victimhood narratives. Edwards closes frustrated with Jackson's self-sabotaging policies, urging community action against crime and cultural rot, emphasizing accountability over excuses.

MASSIVE 3 HOUR MEGA SHOW (Ep #1,037)

Flair on The Clay Edwards Show: Wrestling Icon Talks Legacy, Cannabis, and Life At Southern Sky Brands in Canton, MS, wrestling legend Ric Flair joined host Clay Edwards for a lively interview blending nostalgia, business, and personal insights. Edwards, a fan since childhood, shared a vivid memory: watching TBS wrestling at 5:05 p.m., where the Four Horsemen broke Dusty Rhodes' leg. His grandfather called Flair "the dirtiest motherfucker in the game"—a compliment in Flair's eyes. At 48, Edwards thanked Flair for decades of memories. Flair's favorite era? NWA in the 1980s. He recalled Jackson Coliseum shows and nights at the Reservoir, bars like The Dock (now gone) and Martin's (still thriving). The chat focused on Flair's "Ric Flair Drip" cannabis line with Southern Sky. Overwhelmed by the facility's quality, Flair praised the team and sales across 200 dispensaries. Edwards, after touring, called it true medical-grade; if he partook, it'd be Flair's brand over competitors. Entry into cannabis came via a late associate and Mike Tyson, a friend since the '80s. Tyson, still in shape post-Jake Paul fight, partnered with Flair. Flair stays fit, deadlifting 400 lbs. Being Flair means constant fame—photos everywhere, but 99% positive. "Living the gimmick" has pitfalls, like tax issues, but he enjoys it. Edwards dubbed him a true icon. Hulk Hogan's recent death added poignancy; Flair plans Biloxi visits before Sept. 2, appearances in 14 states, CarShield ads with Ice-T, and autograph sessions. WOO Energy drink eyes China and Thailand markets. Travel tales included urging Edwards to visit Malaysia; Edwards shared his flying fear and brief LA stint. Excited for Ric Flair Drip's growth, Flair credits Southern Sky's promotion. He appreciates Mississippi's warmth (and drinking prowess over Canadians). On WWE's ESPN deal, Flair's humble: they're printing money. Hogan's decline—surgeries left him diminished—sparked anxiety; Flair's 2017 crisis (organ failure, ICU, stoma) led to life-support limits. Edwards thanked Flair, eager for more MS visits. Flair reciprocated, honored to share his story.

In this electrifying episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off with an unforgettable recap of his recent interview and hangout with wrestling legend Ric Flair. Fresh off a high-energy day that included personal stories about shared health challenges like colostomy experiences, signing the FAFO Championship belt, and enjoying casual meals at local spots, Clay reflects on the thrill of meeting a childhood hero—especially in light of recent losses like Hulk Hogan. He shares behind-the-scenes details, from Flair's larger-than-life personality to switching from beer to mixed drinks to keep up, all while emphasizing the importance of chasing dreams and ignoring naysayers who try to pull you back with "crabs in a bucket" mentality. Shifting gears into current events, Clay dives into a heated discussion on a disturbing incident in Copiah County, where firefighters responding to a deadly wreck were allegedly assaulted by a crowd, including the father of the victim who later turned himself in on felony charges. Clay calls for accountability, highlighting the tragedy of the crash tied to street racing and urging equal outrage over violence regardless of race. He stresses the need for consistent application of the law, critiquing double standards in media coverage and public reactions to interracial crimes. The episode takes a deeper turn into societal issues, exploring fatigue over perceived biases in hate crime prosecutions and law enforcement narratives. Clay revisits past cases, like the 2015 beating death of Eric Hambrick and the 2017 murder of Chelsea Kirchen, flipping the script to question how reactions would differ if roles were reversed. He critiques cultural excuses for criminality, touches on the impact of naming conventions from Freakonomics, and calls out inconsistencies in stories amplified by groups like BLM, advocating for body cams as tools for truth. Wrapping up with a mix of humor and hard truths, Clay encourages listeners to fuel success with negativity from haters, pursue growth, and demand fairness in justice. It's a no-holds-barred FAFO Friday full of raw insights, personal anecdotes, and calls for real change—unfiltered talk that challenges the status quo and inspires action.

Strap in for Episode 1,035 of The Clay Edwards Show – the most incendiary radio show in America! Host Clay Edwards kicks off with unfiltered talk, explaining he's a news reactor, not an investigative journalist, and shouts out Kingfish for deep dives. Dive into the hilarious yet tasteless Mississippi Mud Monsters' blunder: they posted pics with wrestling legend Ric Flair, mistakenly calling him Hulk Hogan (who just passed away – Flair flew straight from the funeral!). Clay roasts their apology, which throws a young marketer under the bus, and ties it to wrestling's "identity crisis" theme. Clay shares his excitement for interviewing Ric Flair today (airing tomorrow!), reminiscing about childhood wrestling memories with his grandfather watching Flair and the Four Horsemen on TBS. He draws parallels between politics and pro wrestling – good guys vs. heels, like Trump body-slamming Hillary. Personal growth shines through: Clay turned down partying with Flair last night at Martin's Downtown to stay sharp, reflecting on starting the show at 42 after selling cars, sacrificing relationships for success, and crediting faith for his turnaround. Health takes center stage: A CDC report reveals Americans get over 50% of calories from ultra-processed foods linked to obesity, diabetes, and cancer. RFK Jr. calls it poisoning; Clay slams excuses like "healthy eating is expensive" and debates banning sweets from EBT to protect taxpayer investments in future healthcare. Listener calls highlight soy's estrogen effects on kids (the "soy boy" phenomenon), feminizing youth, and higher breast cancer risks in certain groups. Sponsors get love: Men's Health for testosterone boosts, Mazda of Jackson, McBee's for lunch specials, and more. Clay motivates: Chase dreams – it's never too late!

Black men are attacking white people without consequence all around American, and even here in Mississippi. We broke down 3 major stories that prove my point!!

As we've found out more about the Copiah County firefighters being assaulted after a drag racing accident took the life of a young man over the weekend I'm shocked!!

I've now officially banned all black, white and others who've ever used the N-word under any circumstances from ever appearing on the Clay Edwards Show!!

Mississippi has a syphilis epidemic thanks to Hinds County having the highest rate of STD's than any other county in the entire United States.

I make the argument for why not sharing a bed with your spouse or significant other could lead to a happier relationship or marriage.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks things off with a lively discussion on whether couples need to share a bed for a happy marriage. Drawing from personal anecdotes and listener feedback, Clay explores the importance of quality sleep versus physical closeness, sharing stories of long-married couples who thrive in separate beds due to snoring, heat, or restlessness. He emphasizes prioritizing rest to be a better partner during waking hours. Shifting gears, Clay tackles the alarming spike in assaults by Black individuals on white people across the U.S., including Mississippi. He breaks down a chaotic incident in Copiah County where volunteer firefighters were attacked by a crowd of up to 100 during a drag racing crash response, leaving several hospitalized. Clay condemns the lack of arrests and questions the mob's logic in delaying aid out of frustration over response times. Nationally, he covers the brutal beating of "Big Balls," a former DOGE staffer, who intervened in a carjacking in Washington, D.C., only to be assaulted by a group of teens. Clay highlights media bias, noting reversed roles would spark outrage, and praises Donald Trump's call to federalize D.C. for crime control, including prosecuting minors as adults. He ties in a Cincinnati attack on an elderly white man and woman, criticizing officials for downplaying potential hate crime motives and blaming alcohol. In a satirical segment, Clay "bans" anyone who's ever used the N-word from the show to underscore hypocrisy in outrage over language versus violence, urging equal accountability across communities. Finally, Clay addresses Mississippi's STD epidemic, ranking high nationally for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia—especially in Hinds County, the U.S.'s worst. He attributes it to cultural issues like lack of discipline rather than education gaps, calling for self-reflection and safer practices. Packed with raw opinions, listener texts, and calls for accountability, this episode challenges norms on relationships, crime, and health. Don't miss the heated takes! (1872 characters)

ME EXPLAINING WHY I LOVE CRYOTHERAPY & RED LIGHT THERAPY 

CHUCK E CHEESE GETS ARRESTED IN FULL COSTUME

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Carly Gregg's attorney filed a motion for additional time, citing “certain facts and circumstances concerning Appellant's lead trial counsel.” In the motion, filed on July 30 and approved on July 31, Attorney James Murphy, on behalf of Gregg, requested an additional 30 days to prepare the Appellant Brief. Murphy states, in the motion, that due to the “substantial size and complexity of this matter,” he was unable to finalize the brief by the previous deadline. Murphy went on to include, in the motion, that certain things have come to light regarding Gregg's lead trial counsel, saying this new information “may bear relevance to the issues raised in this direct appeal.” Gregg's lead trial counsel was Bridget Todd. According to the motion, the new information came to light “within the past thirty (30) days” of filing the motion. On July 4, Jackson Jambalaya released the 37-page motion for divorce issued against Todd on the grounds of “habitual cruel and inhuman treatment.” In the motion, the Court found that Todd falsely accused her ex-husband of a crime, then used the crime as a basis to get emergency custody of her ex-husband's children. Todd also used her position as an attorney to “intimidate and manipulate” her ex with “legal threats.” In addition to multiple other findings.   3OYS reached out to Murphy, asking if the information he addressed in the motion was in response to Todd's divorce decree and the Court's findings. Murphy stated, “Our request for additional time is directly related to the newly discovered information about Carly's lead trial counsel that raises profound concerns about the integrity of her original defense. Some of these issues involve serious allegations of dishonesty and misconduct by counsel in other legal matters, including sworn proceedings. While we are still in the process of fully investigating how this may have impacted Carly's case, the severity of what we've learned demands a thorough and unhurried review. Carley deserves to have her conviction scrutinized under the highest standard of fairness, especially in light of these alarming revelations about her former counsel's conduct.” The request for more time will also enable Murphy to address other issues raised in the motion. In September of 2024, Gregg was found guilty of murdering her mother, Ashley Smiley, attempted murder of her stepfather, and tampering with evidence. She is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. An appeal has been filed with the Mississippi Supreme Court The new deadline for the Appellant's Brief is August 19, 2025.

THE TRUTH BEHIND WHY I'M AGAINST SCHOOL CHOICE

MY RESPONSE TO THE BACKLASH OF MY BRYAN BAILEY SPEECH & PICTURE

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into a mix of local discoveries, health insights, and fiery opinions on community issues. Kicking things off, Clay shares his excitement about finding Saladays lettuce at Martin's Market in Flora, praising its freshness and convenience alongside other local favorites like in-house pork skins, Irish butter, and homemade dressings. He recounts a recent visit and ties it into broader tips for sourcing quality food locally to avoid grocery store impulse buys. The conversation shifts to healthy living, inspired by Clay's grandmother—a 93-year-old gardener who embodies lifelong wellness through homegrown produce and unprocessed foods. Clay reflects on her Depression-era wisdom, emphasizing the importance of knowing your food sources, avoiding pesticides, and supporting farmers' markets like Cockrell's and Doris Berry's Produce. He stresses personal discipline in diet, linking sugar addiction to health issues like ADD and autism, and shares stories of people curing ailments through carnivore diets. Clay opens up about his own fitness journey, aiming to balance muscle gain with weight loss while reminding listeners that health choices are ultimately self-controlled—no excuses. On Trash Talk Tuesday, Clay unpacks his staunch opposition to school choice, particularly the public-to-public transfer aspect, arguing it could introduce cultural challenges to tri-county schools without rewarding those who contributed to urban decline. He addresses listener feedback, defending his views against accusations of hypocrisy and highlighting financial motivations behind some proponents. Clay revisits the assault on first responders in Copiah County, expressing sympathy for the grieving father but insisting on accountability to set precedents against violence toward emergency workers. He updates on meetings with the sheriff and stands firm on felony charges. Recapping his speech at the Rankin County Republican Breakfast, Clay explains the invitation's backstory amid local controversies, his compartmentalization of respect for the sheriff's position despite past criticisms, and the backlash from a photo op—framing it as part of the attention economy while prioritizing community involvement. For lighter fare, Clay covers wild news: a Chuck E. Cheese performer arrested mid-birthday party in Tallahassee for credit card fraud, complete with handcuffed mascot photos. He also breaks down a gang-style shootout in Jackson leading to five arrests, noting ironic trends in names and demographics, and reports on an alleged walkout by a Canton police shift. In legal updates, Clay discusses a new motion in the Carlee Gregg case, where her attorney cites misconduct by former lead counsel Bridgette Todd, including false accusations and manipulative tactics revealed in a divorce filing—potentially impacting the appeal. Wrapping up, Clay touches on renewed drama over the Brandon statue, with NAACP involvement stirring accusations of racism at a city hall meeting, urging historical preservation to avoid repeating past mistakes. Packed with raw takes, local flavor, and no-holds-barred commentary, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about health, education, and community accountability.

Some woman who clearly only heard what she wanted to decides to call in and make herself look like an idiot over school choice debate.

I was invited to speak at the Rankin County Republican breakfast this past Saturday morning by Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey, I used the opportunity to speak to the crowd about the dangers of school choice and it being the trojan horse to sneak in Jackson's cultural rot. The backlash hasn't been shocking at all, here's an hour of me making my case, it includes some woman trying to tell me I'm wrong and even calling me a racist.

In this episode of *Heavy Hitters: The Outlaw Entrepreneur Show*, host Clay Edwards dives into the world of innovative local agriculture with guest Lee Bailey, the owner and co-founder of Salad Days Produce in Flora, Mississippi. What starts as a seemingly simple chat about salads evolves into an eye-opening discussion on health, entrepreneurship, and the future of food production in the Magnolia State. Clay recounts how he discovered Salad Days through a tip from state senator Chad McMahon, who urged him to tour the facility after a recent visit. Impressed by the high-tech, hydroponic operation, Clay shares his firsthand experience: walking through the 18,000-square-foot greenhouse felt like stepping into a sterile, medical-grade environment—reminiscent of Mississippi's cannabis grow facilities, but dedicated to pesticide-free, nutrient-rich lettuce. Lee explains the magic behind their "better than organic" produce: grown indoors without dirt or manure to eliminate risks like E. coli, using organic seeds and sprays only when needed, and harvested as living heads that stay fresh for up to three weeks (or longer) in the fridge. Listeners will be amazed by the taste difference—fresh, flavorful lettuce that doesn't need heavy dressings to shine, versus the bland, chemical-laden stuff trucked in from 3,000 miles away. The conversation turns timely as they explore COVID's silver lining: a nationwide awakening to health and supply chain vulnerabilities. Lee describes how the pandemic forced Salad Days to pivot from wholesale to direct-to-consumer sales, never missing a day of work and gaining loyal "lettuce snobs" who now advocate for their product in restaurants. They tie this into broader movements like "Make America Healthy Again" (inspired by Robert Kennedy Jr.) and Mississippi's own "Make Mississippi Healthy Again" initiative under Agriculture Commissioner Andy Gipson, emphasizing food as medicine, reducing processed foods, and combating the state's food deserts and obesity rates. Clay and Lee stress the importance of knowing your food sources—whether it's local produce, meat, or honey—for building personal relationships and supporting community resilience. Delving into the business side, Lee shares Salad Days' origin story: after decades in real estate, she and her husband Jamie self-taught hydroponics over two years, launching the company nearly 12 years ago. Their efficient system recirculates water (resulting in a shockingly low $40 monthly bill), conserves land (producing six acres' worth of outdoor yield indoors), and minimizes waste. Products include bib (butter) lettuce for sandwiches, wraps, and burgers; a colorful spring mix with green sweet crisp and red oak leaf; and bulk varieties for restaurants. They discuss creative uses, like keto-friendly hamburger salads, Asian chicken wraps, or lighter dressings with fruit, nuts, and cheeses like feta or blue—proving lettuce isn't just a vessel for toppings but a star ingredient. Excitingly, Lee teases an upcoming expansion that will scale operations, create 15-20 full-time jobs in Madison County, and extend their reach beyond the Jackson metro area. Throughout, they touch on related topics like the benefits of cannabis oils, kratom, red light therapy, seasonal eating, and holistic health—reminding us that getting back to basics (sunlight, grounding, and fresh, local foods) can counter the pitfalls of industrial complexes. Whether you're an entrepreneur eyeing a career pivot, a health enthusiast seeking better eating habits, or just curious about Mississippi's ag innovation, this episode highlights how supporting local businesses like Salad Days keeps money circulating in the community while promoting wellness. Tune in for inspiring insights, practical tips, and a fresh perspective on what "farm-to-table" really means.

On today's episode of my show, The Clay Edwards Show, I kick off with excitement for the third hour's Heavy Hitters segment featuring The Outlaw Entrepreneur Show. My guest, Lee Bailey from Salad Days, discusses our innovative indoor lettuce farm in Flora, Mississippi, which supplies high-quality, pesticide-free produce to restaurants and stores. I share my positive experience trying our butter lettuce, noting its exceptional freshness and longevity compared to store-bought options, and draw parallels to growing medical cannabis indoors. I recount personal stories, including my anticipation for meeting wrestling legend Ric Flair and a childhood memory of watching NWA wrestling with my grandfather, who despised Flair's antics. The show delves into a serious incident in Copiah County: following a fatal three-car crash involving drag racing, where 18-year-old Kensavion Brown lost his life, his father allegedly assaulted four responding firefighters, sending three to the hospital. I express sympathy for the family's loss but criticize the lack of charges, urging Sheriff Byron Swilley to act and emphasizing accountability for attacks on first responders. I discuss the emotional context but insist such actions are inexcusable, sharing listener reactions and stressing the need for equal application of the law. I address backlash from my recent speech at the Rankin County Republican Breakfast, where I railed against school choice policies. I argue against allowing public school transfers, particularly from Jackson to suburban districts like Rankin or Madison, claiming it invites "cultural cancer" and undermines sacrifices made by families who relocated for better education. I support money following students to charter or private schools but reject public-to-public transfers, citing examples of negative influences and questioning motives of proponents, whom I link to financial gains. A caller challenges my stance, praising school choice successes in neighboring states, but I defend my position as realistic, not racist, and call for a ballot initiative if it's truly popular. The episode wraps with me standing firm on my views and teasing continued discussion.

JXN THUGS SHOOT REPO MAN

Barry Lowery is the man that had become infamous locally for standing in front of hand made signs that screamed "FUCK SEAN TINDELL" the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety". We take a deep dive into the things that Barry claimed happened to him over the years and what potentially drove him to ending his own life after a standoff with law enforcement in Hinds County this week.

In this explosive episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards delivers unfiltered, no-holds-barred commentary on the hottest issues shaking America. Kicking off with a raw take on transparency in leadership and the fight against cancel culture, Clay dives deep into the spotlight on overlooked topics from Jackson, Mississippi, and beyond, exposing corruption and calling for real solutions in a broken system. Clay tackles the shocking mass shooting at NFL headquarters by 27-year-old former high school football player Shane Tumara, who blamed CTE despite never playing professionally. He unpacks the media's spin, questioning ties to Blackrock, pro-Palestine activism, and how hits to the head are being used to deflect from deeper motives. Drawing parallels to past controversies like George Floyd's death, Clay challenges narratives and demands accountability, emphasizing that reality must trump political bias. Shifting gears, Clay addresses a brutal hate crime in Cincinnati, where a roving gang viciously attacked innocent white attendees leaving a music festival, including a man stomped unconscious and a woman punched for checking on him. He highlights the media's silence, trends in urban violence, and why suburbs exist as safe havens. Featuring audio from Vice President JD Vance, who condemns the lawlessness and calls for prosecuting thugs to restore safety in American cities, Clay urges equal application of hate crime laws and criticizes excuses like poverty or provocation. He stresses situational awareness and the need for communities to speak out, echoing "silence is violence" from past movements. The episode also mourns the death of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, critiquing vile reactions from figures like a Florida school board chair who celebrated it as "one less MAGA in the world." Clay explores Hogan's past racist comments, his apology, and the hypocrisy in forgiveness, contrasting it with societal leniency toward violence in certain communities. He calls out "Black fatigue" and demands consistent consequences, while sharing his wrestling Mount Rushmore: Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock. Throughout, Clay shares personal stories, from birthday shoutouts to excitement for local boxing events featuring friends like Topher, Luke Greenlee, and Bubba Easterling on August 16th in Neshoba County.

I had a hell of a weekend after Friday's show with Senator Chad McMahan discussing all the things to do in Mississippi if you'll just get in the vehicle and be willing to bust a few bugs to get there and do it. I spent the entire weekend bustin bugs to eat lunch, dinner and make multiple trips from Brandon to Neshoba County for the world famous Neshoba County Fair and to watch the world-premier of the new documentary film "The Last American House Party" about the Neshoba County Fair at the ELLIS Theater in downtown Philadelphia, Mississippi. This was fun end to a great show and I can't wait to head back up to Neshoba this week for the political speeches and more.

Check out hour #1 of Pearl, Ms. Mayor Jake Windham and I discussing all things Pearl and how attention to detail & staying in front of the problems has been key to Pearls financial turnaround and economic growth.

Hours 1 & 2: Pearl, Mississippi mayor, Jake Windham joins the show for the first 2 full hours to discuss all things Pearl and the fight for a solid flood control plan for the Pearl river in central Mississippi. Hour 3: I take a deep dive into my weekend adventures off the beaten path around central Mississippi and the Neshoba county fair. I end the show with a rant about the good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a knife after he seriously injured 11 people at a Michigan Wal-mart.

Ok, so we didn't actually hit 100 things, but we did discuss a hell of a lot of great things to do in Mississippi that you may have never heard of before.
