The Clay Edwards Show

Street Preachers at the Brandon Amphitheater – Clay Edwards Show Ep 1191Clay Edwards goes off on the group of street preachers he ran into outside the Brandon Amphitheater Friday night as fans poured in for the Warren Zieders concert. He calls them the Mississippi equivalent of the Westboro Baptist Church — self-infatuated grifters waving signs and shouting insults at concertgoers, specifically calling women “skanks,” “whores,” and “Jezebels.”Clay makes a clear distinction: while he supported their protest against Target for selling explicit LGBTQ toys to kids, this is completely different. Harassing families and young women at a family-friendly country music show isn’t evangelism — it’s provocation. He questions why they pick soft targets like “teeny bop country” crowds instead of taking their message to actual rough spots like nightclubs or strip clubs, and he’s disappointed more men haven’t stepped up to confront them for disrespecting women. Raw, unfiltered, and straight to the point — classic Clay calling out what he sees as hypocritical attention-seeking disguised as faith.

Andrew Gasser Interview – Clay Edwards Show Ep 1191Clay Edwards is joined in-studio by Andrew Gasser, host of The Andrew Gasser Show, for a no-holds-barred second-hour conversation on President Trump’s explosive warning to Iran. The pair breaks down Trump’s fiery Truth Social post declaring that “Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day” in Iran, warning that “a whole civilization will die” if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened. They debate whether this is classic Trump “Art of the Deal” pressure tactics, psychological warfare, or strategic blunt force — and whether publicly naming targets like power plants and bridges is master-level messaging or giving the regime a heads-up. Drawing on his military background, Andrew praises Trump’s decisive leadership and how it removes the “handcuffs” that previously tied the hands of the armed forces. The conversation also covers Iran’s crippled military position, the critical importance of Kharg Island as their main oil export terminal, the ongoing propaganda war, and the possibility of regime change. Raw, unfiltered talk on strength, America First foreign policy, and why leading through fear and results matters more than polite optics.

Podcast Description for Episode 1191 of The Clay Edwards Show: Clay kicks off the episode with some real-life chaos at home: the arrival of a new full-time resident, a nine-month-old Yorkie named Zoe. He describes her as a literal real-life Sonic the Hedgehog—constantly rolling, torpedoing into everything, and turning the house upside down alongside his other dogs, Rocket and Libby. Between puppy playtime, late-night show prep struggles, and emergency fence repairs after a backyard escape, Clay reflects on the joys (and sleep deprivation) of new puppy life. From there, he launches into his signature no-filter style, ripping into political correctness and the left’s endless hypersensitivity. Clay defends President Trump’s blunt “mentally retarded” description of Biden, mocks the manufactured outrage over words, and declares that “this show ain’t for the soft.” He also unloads on “culture rot,” using the recent shooting of rapper Offset outside a casino as a textbook example of crabs-in-a-bucket mentality that punishes success instead of celebrating it. The episode builds to a deep discussion on Trump’s fiery social media warning to Iran about power plants, bridges, and the Strait of Hormuz. Clay breaks down the “art of the deal” approach, the necessity of ruling through strength, and why some so-called conservatives are clutching their pearls over strong language. Andrew Gasser joins for the second hour to break down military strategy, propaganda, and the bigger picture of America First foreign policy. Raw, unapologetic, and packed with real talk—this is free-range human commentary at its best.

Clay Edwards kicks off the show with Steve Robertson of GenesPage.com and 247Sports for an in-depth discussion on President Trump’s executive order aimed at saving college sports. Steve breaks down the current chaos in NIL collectives and pay-for-play, the exploding transfer portal, and why limiting players to one free transfer (with a sit-out for additional moves) could restore balance. They explore how the executive order creates momentum for the bipartisan SCORE Act to establish national guardrails, protect Olympic sports training on college campuses, and bring stability back to a system that has spiraled out of control. Additional topics include NIL fatigue among donors, the shift from genuine name-image-likeness opportunities to unchecked exploitation, the need for multi-year enforceable contracts, and why schools currently have zero protection when players transfer. Steve shares boots-on-the-ground perspective from covering Mississippi State and college athletics nationwide, emphasizing that college sports should remain a privilege — not a chaotic business that alienates fans and harms long-term athlete development. Straight talk on fixing what’s broken in college sports before it’s too late.

Clay Edwards and Andrew Gasser react to comedian Druski’s recent whiteface skits and Jake Paul’s bold response — where he announces he’s calling makeup artists to do the reverse and push back against one-sided racial comedy rules. They discuss the glaring double standard: why mocking one race is treated as “just comedy” while doing the same in the other direction triggers immediate outrage and cancellation. Clay and Andrew explore how this selective enforcement has created an inflection point — where more people are tired of hypocritical rules that only apply one way. The conversation dives into the broader cultural shift, the broken “racist” card that no longer shuts down debate, and why high-profile figures like Jake Paul are increasingly willing to challenge the narrative and say “if one side can do it, so can the other.” Raw, unfiltered talk on comedy, race, hypocrisy, and pushing back against cancel culture double standards.

Clay Edwards welcomes Todd Sandridge, owner of Superior Foundation Services in Richland, Mississippi, into the studio for a practical, no-nonsense conversation about one of the most common — and costly — problems facing homeowners across Central Mississippi. Todd explains how Mississippi’s notorious weathered clay soil shrinks when dry and swells when wet, causing houses to shift, crack, and settle. He walks through the simple 30-45 minute diagnostic process his team uses: taking precise elevation measurements with a zip level to create a baseline and identify exactly what’s happening beneath the foundation. Key topics include: - Why water management is almost always the root cause (especially downspouts dumping water too close to the house) - The importance of French drains and getting water away from footings - Why calling early for small issues (like a single corner settling) can prevent major, expensive repairs later - Helical piers for both repair and new construction - Options for lifting slabs, encapsulations under crawl spaces, driveway repairs, and commercial work - The value of working with a locally owned company that stands behind its warranties and doesn’t disappear after the job Todd emphasizes honest assessments, avoiding fear tactics, and preferring small, targeted fixes over unnecessary whole-house overhauls. He also shares why local ownership matters — because they live, work, and raise families in the same communities they serve. If you’ve noticed cracks in your walls, sticking doors, uneven floors, or suspect foundation movement, this segment delivers clear, actionable advice from a Central Mississippi expert who’s been in the business for nearly 12 years (with 27 years as a general contractor).

In the second hour of the show, Clay Edwards sits down with Andrew Gasser for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation. They kick things off with the dramatic U.S. military rescue of a downed F-15 airman in Iran, breaking down the high-stakes operation involving SEAL Team 6, a CIA nurse, precision air support, Reaper drones, and the decision to leave no one behind — even at significant cost. Andrew shares insight into how the mission unfolded, the use of overwhelming air assets, and why this operation highlights a key difference between American values and those of other nations. The discussion then shifts to broader cultural issues, including comedian Druski’s recent whiteface skits and the glaring double standards in racial comedy. Clay and Andrew explore why one side can mock the other freely while the reverse triggers immediate cancellation, and how society has reached an inflection point where people are growing tired of selective outrage and enforced rules that only apply one way. They also touch on personal topics like health and wellness — the benefits of clean eating, grass-fed meats, lamb preparation (including Andrew’s favorite crock-pot shank and smash burgers with feta), dealing with inflammation from sugar and carbs, and the mental discipline required to maintain a healthy lifestyle after big weekend indulgences. Raw, honest, and unfiltered — this segment delivers straight talk on military heroism, cultural hypocrisy, everyday wellness, and pushing back against narrative-driven nonsense.

Join Clay Edwards for a fast-paced, unfiltered Monday edition packed with Mississippi insight and real talk. First up, Steve Robertson from GenesPage.com and 247Sports dives deep into President Trump's executive order aimed at saving college sports. They break down the chaos in NIL collectives, the exploding transfer portal, the push for a five-year eligibility window with one free transfer, and how this could pave the way for the SCORE Act to bring national guardrails, fairness, and stability back to the game—while protecting Olympic sports, women's programs, and the soul of college athletics that unites communities. Steve shares boots-on-the-ground perspective from covering Mississippi State and beyond, plus why fixing transfers and curbing unchecked pay-for-play is priority one. Next, Todd Sandridge of Superior Foundation Services joins in-studio to talk foundation repair. They cover diagnosing shifting homes on Mississippi's notorious weathered clay soil, the critical role of water management and drainage (including French drains), why calling early prevents major overhauls, helical piers for new construction, and practical advice for homeowners dealing with cracks, uneven floors, or settling issues. Todd emphasizes local ownership, long-term warranties, and honest assessments—no fear tactics, just straightforward solutions for residential and commercial properties. In Hour 2, Andrew Gasser stops by for wide-ranging conversation, touching on everything from the high-stakes rescue of a downed F-15 airman (involving SEAL Team 6 and precision air support) to cultural double standards in comedy, the importance of speaking truth without fear of cancellation, and personal detours into health, clean eating, grass-fed meats, lamb cooking tips, and the mental discipline it takes to feel your best. Plus, Clay unveils the brand-new FAFO 3:16 shirt design (a tribute to Stone Cold Steve Austin with a fresh broken-skull motif), available for preorder at a special price. Raw, reality-based radio that cuts through the noise—college sports reform, home maintenance realities, current events, and everyday Mississippi life.

FAFO Friday: The Dog Rapist Championship On this week’s FAFO Friday, Clay crowns a new undisputed champion after a Horn Lake man, Tristan Pipkin, pleaded guilty to unnatural intercourse with the family dog. The case came to light when his girlfriend discovered the video on his phone and immediately reported it to police. Clay doesn’t hold back while handing out the belt, calling it one of the most disturbing and embarrassing FAFO moments in show history. Raw, unfiltered, and exactly what FAFO Friday is built for.

Clay turns the show into a fun Throwback segment by asking listeners: What is your favorite movie from the 1990s? The conversation delivers a rapid-fire list of classics as callers and the live chat weigh in with their picks — including Armageddon, Independence Day, Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Trainspotting, Friday, Jurassic Park, and many more. Clay shares his own top choices and explains why the 90s produced so many iconic films that still hold up today. A light-hearted, nostalgic romp through one of the greatest decades in cinema.

Clay and longtime friend / former co-host Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County Assistant DA and top criminal defense attorney) dive into Mississippi’s new 50/50 joint custody law and the push for single-party (no-fault) divorce. Shaun gives his unfiltered take as someone who has worked both sides of the family law bench: whether 50/50 should be the default starting point, how it affects kids and parents, and why forcing one spouse to stay married against their will (when the marriage is clearly over) doesn’t make sense. They discuss the financial incentives, fairness to fathers, the impact on children, and why the current system often drags out ugly fights and drains families financially. A thoughtful, no-BS conversation about marriage, divorce, and family law reform in Mississippi.

Episode 1189 – Shaun Yurtkuran Debunks the Brady-Giglio List Clay is joined by longtime friend and former co-host Shaun Yurtkuran — former Hinds County Assistant District Attorney and one of Mississippi’s top criminal defense attorneys. Shaun breaks down the so-called “Brady-Giglio List” that some activists have been pushing, explaining what the actual Supreme Court cases (Brady v. Maryland and Giglio) really mean, when material must be turned over, and why the way it’s being weaponized locally is largely a myth and a grift. He draws from his years of experience on both sides of the bench to explain why random complaints or “I don’t like this cop” claims don’t automatically land officers on any legitimate list, and why the entire narrative being sold online doesn’t hold up in real courtroom practice. A clear, no-nonsense legal takedown of one of the most overhyped topics in local activist circles

Longtime friend and former co-host Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County Assistant District Attorney and one of Mississippi’s top criminal defense attorneys) joins Clay in studio. They discuss the controversial “Brady-Giglio List,” Medical Marijuana DUI's in Mississippi & Mississippi's potential new law giving 50/50 custody to both parents as default judgment in divorce cases and other hot legal topics. Shaun also officially launches his brand-new weekly talk show, “Both Sides of the Bench,” airing every Saturday morning at 11:00 AM on 103.9 WYAB — a full commercial-free hour where he breaks down the biggest stories of the week through the lens of his experience as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney.

Clay and guest Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County Assistant DA and top criminal defense attorney) break down Mississippi’s medical marijuana DUI law. They explain why having a medical marijuana card does not give you a free pass to drive impaired, how the law actually works, and why claims that “you can’t get a DUI if you have a card” are flat-out wrong. Shaun lays out the legal reality from both the prosecution and defense side: impairment is impairment — whether it’s from alcohol, prescription pills, or THC — and law enforcement is already enforcing it. A clear, no-nonsense explanation of one of the most misunderstood new laws in Mississippi.

Clay opens the show talking about the war on masculinity and plays a clip of a Jackson City Councilman (Kevin Parkinson) “libsplaining” the new rules and restrictions for the Hal’s St. Paddy’s Day Parade. He calls out the councilman for refusing to acknowledge the real reason for the changes — culture rot and violence — and instead blaming broken glass and grills. The show features a fun Throwback Thursday segment with old newspaper ads from the Mississippi Coliseum in the 1980s, including a wild Mid-South Wrestling card with Junkyard Dog vs. Hacksaw Butch Reed in a “ghetto street fight,” plus the time Bob Barker brought his own version of The Price is Right to Jackson. Clay also discusses low testosterone in men, the cycle of weak men creating hard times, and takes plenty of live calls and texts from listeners. Raw, unfiltered, and all over the map — exactly what you expect from a Clay Edwards morning.

In one of the most entertaining curveballs of the show, Clay Edwards throws a wild question at Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com: What does he think about Matt Gaetz claiming he was briefed by a U.S. Army official on secret alien hybrid breeding programs? Clay plays the clip where Gaetz describes being told that captured aliens were breeding with humans to create a hybrid race capable of intergalactic communication. Kingfish delivers his classic no-nonsense reaction — complete with sharp wit and skepticism. The conversation quickly turns into a hilarious and honest back-and-forth about aliens, government whistleblowers, abduction stories, and why credible evidence seems to have dried up in the smartphone era. Clay and Kingfish debate whether there’s any truth to the wild claims, share their thoughts on the broader UFO/UAP conversation, and contrast it with classic Coast to Coast AM-style radio lore (including time travelers and Art Bell’s legendary interviews). This light-hearted detour provides a perfect break from serious Mississippi politics, showcasing the unfiltered banter and humor that makes the show unique. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** Matt Gaetz alien briefing, human-alien hybrid breeding programs, UFO skepticism, and classic conspiracy radio stories. If you enjoy serious political talk mixed with ridiculous “what if” moments and authentic reactions, don’t miss this fun segment.

Clay Edwards kicks off the hour with a hilarious April Fools’ prank before diving into a lively rant on Southern cooking stereotypes — specifically the viral memes comparing “Thanksgiving at Black family houses vs. White family houses.” Clay pushes back hard on the myth that white people boil their macaroni and cheese (he insists it’s always baked in the South) and fires back at claims that white folks don’t season their food. He contrasts Southern baked mac & cheese with what he calls twice-fried, twice-smoked, flavor-cooked-out chicken and ribs common in some kitchens. The conversation gets spicy as Clay argues it’s not really a Black vs. White issue — it’s a **Southern culture** thing versus everyone else. Kingfish joins in the fun, sharing his own takes on local barbecue joints, gas station BBQ versus sit-down restaurants, and why some places overcook or under-season. The duo swaps stories about Sweet Daddy’s, Sacred Ground, Full Moon Barbecue, and what makes good ribs versus tough, jaw-workout ribs. This segment is full of laughs, unfiltered Southern food talk, and Clay’s signature “if you don’t like it, get the f*** from round here” energy as he defends Southern cooking traditions while roasting bad habits on all sides. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** Black vs. White cooking memes, baked mac & cheese debate, seasoning wars, overcooked chicken and ribs, and why it’s really Southern culture vs. everyone else. If you enjoy raw, funny Southern commentary on food, culture, and memes — with zero political correctness — this hour is pure entertainment.

Clay Edwards reacts to the recent nationwide “No Kings” protests against President Trump and his policies — including the war in Iran and immigration enforcement. They spotlight a popular meme making the rounds: “Fun fact: Businesses in America have never had to board up their windows because of Republican protesters.” Clay contrasts this with the damage and boarded-up storefronts often seen after left-wing demonstrations, pointing out the irony of anti-monarchy protesters (some waving hammer-and-sickle flags) while highlighting the lack of similar chaos or fear from conservative rallies. The conversation takes a humorous turn as they poke at the contradictions — including liberal “No Kings” messaging clashing with certain cultural claims of royalty — and discuss why one side’s protests routinely lead to precautions like plywood while the other’s do not. They also touch on the broader pattern of Democrat-led “death culture” in cities versus safer, cleaner Republican areas where businesses don’t live in fear of riots. This segment delivers sharp, no-filter commentary on political double standards, protest culture, and why some demonstrations end with businesses boarding up while others do not. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** “No Kings” protests, Republican vs. left-wing protest outcomes, businesses boarding up windows, political hypocrisy, and meme culture. If you enjoy unapologetic takes on current events, media spin, and the real differences in how protests play out across America, this one’s for you.

This morning I woke up with a heavy heart and finally decided I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m done defending Donald Trump. Done with MAGA. And to all my police and law enforcement friends — to hell with y’all too. I hopped on Amazon, ordered myself a brand new umpire jersey from Foot Locker, and I’m officially switching sides. I’m joining the whistleblowers. I’m done getting picked on. Tired of everybody else getting all the clout, the girls, the money, and the fame while Clay Edwards is left with nothing but a house, a car, a hot girlfriend, a beautiful family, money in the bank, front-row tickets to everything, and the number one radio show in the state. None of it means anything anymore. I’m donating it all. Surely one of those whistleblower groups has a 501(c)(3) I can cut a big check to. I’m joining the civil rights movement — West Side, South Side, whatever side will have me. We’ve got a group meeting tonight to figure it all out. If you’ve been waiting for me to finally come over to the dark side… this is it. This episode starts with me speaking my truth and walking away from everything I used to stand for. You ain’t gonna believe what came out of my mouth.

Clay Edwards is joined by Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com for a hard-hitting discussion on the ongoing Mississippi ABC liquor distribution crisis and the legislature’s failure to fix it. The duo breaks down how the Mississippi Senate killed a House bill (passed 112-2) that would have allowed liquor-permitted businesses — including liquor stores, bars, restaurants, and casinos — to source product directly from manufacturers when the ABC couldn’t deliver orders within five days. They examine why the bill died in conference committee, the lack of meaningful alternatives from the Senate, and the real-world pain this is causing small businesses whose money is tied up in prepaid orders while shelves sit empty. Kingfish and Clay discuss the deeper problems at the ABC warehouse, the bureaucracy protecting a broken state-run system, and whether it’s finally time to privatize Mississippi’s liquor distribution entirely — potentially splitting it into regional operators (North, Central, South) like the beer distribution model to create competition and efficiency. They also touch on related issues, including limits on multiple liquor store permits, the challenges faced by package store owners, market manipulation by some retailers during shortages, and why casinos and restaurants are particularly frustrated with the backlog. This segment delivers unfiltered conservative commentary on government overreach, small business struggles, and why Mississippi lawmakers continue to protect a failing state monopoly instead of delivering common-sense relief. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** Mississippi ABC liquor backlog, Senate inaction, calls for privatization, impact on bars/restaurants/liquor stores, and liquor law reform. If you want straight talk on Mississippi politics, bureaucracy, and how bad policy hurts local businesses, this hour delivers.

In this segment, Clay Edwards sits down with Kingfish of JacksonJambalaya.com to break down the newly passed Jackson Water Authority legislation and what it really means for the city. Kingfish explains the bill’s key provisions: how the new authority board is structured, with three seats for the City of Jackson (including a non-voting role for the mayor), three for the governor, one for the lieutenant governor, and seats for nearby cities like Byram and Ridgeland. He details why the legislature removed the Jackson City Council’s approval power over certain appointments and lowered the threshold for rate increases and bond issues from a three-fourths to a two-thirds majority. The conversation explores the deep distrust many lawmakers have toward city leadership and voters when it comes to managing critical infrastructure. Topics include the transfer of approximately $120 million in water and sewer debt off the city’s books, the requirement for the authority to lease the system from Jackson, and the potential for political pushback from the city council. Kingfish and Clay discuss the broader context — repeated failures with Jackson’s water system, past issues with leadership, and why many see this as a necessary step to protect ratepayers and ensure reliable service, even as Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba expressed strong disappointment with the final bill. This is a clear-eyed, no-spin look at one of Jackson’s most important infrastructure battles, the politics behind it, and what it could mean for the future of the city’s water and sewer system. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Focus:** Jackson Water Authority bill, board control, debt transfer, rate hikes, and local political distrust. Perfect for listeners who want straight talk on Jackson politics and infrastructure issues.

**Episode 1187 – Hour 2: Kingfish from Jackson Jambalaya** In Hour 2, Clay Edwards is joined by Kingfish, the founder of JacksonJambalaya.com, for a wide-ranging and no-holds-barred conversation on Mississippi and Jackson issues. The duo dives deep into the Mississippi Senate’s controversial decision to kill a House bill that would have provided temporary relief for the ongoing ABC liquor distribution backlog. They discuss the real-world impact on liquor stores, bars, restaurants, and casinos, why the fix failed in conference, and whether it’s time to privatize the state’s liquor system entirely. Kingfish breaks down the newly passed Jackson water authority legislation, explaining the board structure, how it shifts control and debt away from city leadership, why many lawmakers don’t trust Jackson voters with critical infrastructure, and the political fallout from Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba’s office. The conversation also touches on local restaurant news, including the closure of Full Moon Barbecue in Madison, the strengths and weaknesses of gas station barbecue versus sit-down spots, and why some barbecue joints struggle in the Jackson area. As always, expect sharp analysis, Southern perspective, and unfiltered commentary on Jackson politics, bureaucracy, and daily life in Central Mississippi. Clay even throws Kingfish a curveball with a wild question about Matt Gaetz’s claims regarding alien hybrid breeding programs—eliciting a classic Kingfish reaction.

**Episode 1187 of The Clay Edwards Show** (Hour 2 features Kingfish from Jackson Jambalaya): On this April Fools' Day episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay kicks things off with a wild fake-out rant declaring he's done with Trump, MAGA, and law enforcement—before quickly revealing it was all a prank. From there, the conversation dives into Southern culture, barbecue debates, and why certain food stereotypes just don't hold up below the Mason-Dixon line. Clay shares a personal note about a tough family loss with one of the family's beloved pets, then gets into the day's headlines. He breaks down the Mississippi Senate's controversial decision to kill a House bill aimed at easing the ongoing ABC liquor distribution backlog, leaving bars, restaurants, liquor stores, and casinos stuck waiting—and paying—for delayed orders. Is it time to privatize the state's liquor system? Clay and special guest Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com debate the fiasco, potential fixes, and what it says about bureaucracy in Mississippi. Kingfish joins for a full hour to discuss the new Jackson water authority legislation, why many don't trust city leadership with critical infrastructure, the politics behind the board makeup, debt transfer, and rate hikes. The duo also swaps stories on local barbecue joints (gas station BBQ vs. sit-down spots), restaurant closures, and the challenges of keeping consistent quality in the business. As always, expect unfiltered talk on Jackson issues, Mississippi politics, law enforcement, and plenty of no-holds-barred commentary. Clay even sneaks in a fun curveball question for Kingfish about Matt Gaetz's wild claims on alien hybrid breeding programs—just to watch the reaction. If you enjoy sharp Southern conservative talk radio with humor, real talk on local problems, and zero filter, this episode delivers. **Guest:** Kingfish (Jackson Jambalaya) **Topics:** April Fools prank, ABC liquor backlog & Senate inaction, Jackson water authority bill, Southern culture & barbecue wars, local news, and more. Perfect for fans of straight-shooting Mississippi commentary with a side of laughs.

The Mississippi House tried to give liquor stores, restaurants, and casinos a temporary way around the state’s massively backlogged Alcoholic Beverage Control warehouse, but it died in conference. Your Mississippi Senate just looked small and big business owners square in the eye and said “screw you — you’ll wait for your liquor as long as it takes, and you’ll like it. Keep talking sh_t and we’ll snatch your ABC permit and start digging into you for tax evasion.” Businesses are hurting, customers are frustrated, and the state bureaucracy just flexed its muscle again. Classic Mississippi.

**Episode 1186 – Emmett Till & The KKK Discussion** Clay reacts to a WLBT story featuring Emmett Till’s cousin, a civil rights activist, who claimed the KKK murdered an entire Black family and dumped their bodies in the Tallahatchie River just one week before Emmett Till’s 1955 murder. In real time, Clay fact-checks the claim using historical records, FBI files, and contemporary reporting. He also examines whether Till’s killers (Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam) were confirmed KKK members and discusses the broader pattern of how the Emmett Till story and Klan history continue to be invoked — and sometimes exaggerated — decades later. Clay pushes back against what he calls the “racist economy” and questions why certain narratives around racial violence are rarely challenged, even when facts don’t support them. A raw, detailed, and unfiltered deep dive into one of America’s most cited civil rights cases

**Episode 1186 – Hour 3 with Andrew Gasser** Clay is joined in studio by Andrew Gasser for a wide-ranging third hour. The conversation kicks off with the recent discovery of KKK materials in a Mississippi state government building. Clay and Andrew discuss the civil rights activist’s reaction, fact-check claims made about Emmett Till’s murder (including the unsubstantiated story of another Black family being killed and thrown in the Tallahatchie River the week prior), and debate how the Klan’s history continues to be used and sometimes exaggerated in modern media. They also dive into: - Mississippi’s new 50/50 joint custody law and early data showing divorce rates dropping in states that have implemented similar reforms - The rapid rise of fully autonomous 18-wheelers now legal on Mississippi roads with no human driver required - President Trump’s signature soon appearing on U.S. currency for the first time Raw, unfiltered talk between two friends who don’t hold back. **The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1186, Hour 3 with Andrew Gasser**

Podcast Segment Description: In this unexpected third-hour takeover on The Clay Edwards Show, Clay Edwards and Andrew Gasser jump back on the air for an unscripted, wide-ranging conversation that picks up right where the morning left off. The duo dives deep into cultural decay — from the skyrocketing acceptance of divorce and single-parent homes to the erosion of the nuclear family under progressivism and feminism. Andrew reflects on fatherhood, responsibility, and how far society has slid backward since the 1950s, while teasing upcoming segments on “Black Spring Break” chaos in Daytona and Houston. Clay doubles down on his earlier Brady List exposé, calling the whole thing a straight-up grift pushed by the ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Center. He officially launches his own “Losers List” (aka the FAFO List) — a public roster of people who’ve lied on and made false reports against good law enforcement officers. The conversation then shifts to the Iran conflict, with Andrew delivering a no-nonsense veteran’s breakdown: America is winning tactically, the real enemy is the mainstream media spreading defeatist propaganda, and the threat of enriched uranium falling into the wrong hands is very real. They also react to Joe Kent’s sudden reversal on Israel and Iran, with some pointed (and hilarious) speculation about what changed his mind. Raw, honest, off-the-cuff banter between two friends who don’t mind disagreeing — this emergency fill-in hour is classic Clay & Andrew.

In this fiery opening segment of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay claps back hard at his critics and the latest desperate attack on him — when a crew of three-time accused domestic abusers tracked down his ex-wife, dusted her off, and got her sober and out of jail long enough to do a hit-piece interview full of lies. Clay doesn’t flinch. He calls it exactly what it is: proof of how big the show has gotten that people are now willing to go that low to try and take him down. Then he flips the script and goes full investigative mode, exposing the so-called “Brady List” (Giglio/Brady list) that’s being hyped by grifters across Mississippi. He breaks it down: regular citizens can’t just “add cops to the Brady list” and magically make them unable to testify. That’s a scam. Only a judge who catches a cop lying on the stand in their courtroom can put someone on the real list. Everything else is just a $100-a-head grift. So Clay announces he’s starting his own list — the “FAFO List” (or Losers/Liars List, still deciding the name) — for people who have lied on good, God-fearing law enforcement officers and made false reports against them. He even jokes about charging $100 to get added, since everyone else is running the same hustle. First name already in mind: a Rankin County man convicted twice for lying on parole officers. Raw, unfiltered, zero apologies, and dripping with Mississippi sarcasm — this is Clay Edwards calling out the hypocrisy, the grift, and the personal attacks all in one shot. FAFO indeed.

In this unforgettable story on The Clay Edwards Show, Clay recounts the legendary day the Westboro Baptist Church rolled into Brandon, Mississippi — and quickly learned what happens when you bring your hate to the South Side of the Kingdom. Back in 2011, the notorious group announced they were coming to protest the funeral of fallen U.S. Marine Jason Rogers, a hometown hero killed in Afghanistan. What they didn’t count on was a town full of proud Mississippians who weren’t about to let that stand. Clay details how locals spotted the church vans at a Brandon gas station, how a few good ol’ boys delivered a swift “ass whoopin’” right there in the parking lot, and how the group was later blocked in at their hotel while authorities “checked for warrants.” The result? A homemade Mississippi blueprint for shutting down Westboro protests that spread nationwide — and the church never showed up at another Mississippi funeral again. Clay also paints the emotional picture of the funeral procession: tens of thousands of people lining Highway 80 from the airport all the way through town, Brandon Fire Department trucks dropping a massive American flag over the intersection, and an outpouring of respect that still chokes him up to this day. Raw, unfiltered, and full of Mississippi pride — this is the true story of how one small Southern town told the Westboro Baptist Church exactly where they could stick their protest. FAFO at its finest.

In this raw, no-holds-barred conversation on The Clay Edwards Show, Clay and Hour 2 guest Andrew Gasser react to viral footage from Sister Cindy’s “Ho No Mo Tour” at The Grove on the Ole Miss campus — where the street preacher uses sharp humor and comedy to call out promiscuity, drinking, and “sneaky link” culture among young women. The discussion quickly turns to the more confrontational style of local Mississippi street preachers like Brother Gabe, who stands outside country concerts at the Brandon Amphitheater calling women “hoes” and “Jezebels” as they walk in. Clay, as a father of a daughter, draws a hard line: he supports free speech but says there’s a time, place, and better way to reach people — and that publicly shaming innocent girls heading to a concert crosses into bad taste and invites consequences. Andrew pushes back with his own experiences as a believer and father, defending bold street preaching as a necessary spiritual stretch that sometimes makes people uncomfortable. The two go deep on faith, fatherhood, modesty, cultural decay, and how to actually expand the Kingdom instead of shrinking it. Listener calls flood in, including a passionate “South Side of the Kingdom” caller who says name-calling is corrupt communication and that the Bible demands better. The conversation ends with the legendary Brandon, Mississippi blueprint for dealing with the Westboro Baptist Church when they tried to protest a Marine’s funeral — a story that still gives chills

In this no-holds-barred segment of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay rips into the latest round of Democrat “fear porn” after Ku Klux Klan artifacts — white robes, gold seal charters, and handwritten meeting minutes from the violent 1960s White Knights of the KKK — were discovered in an old suitcase during a move at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. Clay calls out the left for wallowing in the story like pigs in mud, celebrating every chance to trot out KKK history while conveniently forgetting that every documented member was a registered, proud Democrat. He questions the selective outrage: why must Confederate statues be torn down to “erase hate,” yet these Klan documents are suddenly sacred history that must be digitized and preserved for future generations? With his trademark bluntness, Clay refuses to let history be memory-holed. He argues that preserving the ugly past isn’t racism — erasing it is how you guarantee we repeat it. White Democrats, he says, should never be allowed to forget the terror and hell they rained down on Mississippi through the Civil Rights era and long before. No gaslighting, no rewriting, no separating the Klan from the party that created and protected it.

In this no-holds-barred episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay opens with some straight talk: the mission to “save Jackson” is officially off the table. The city is too deep in culture rot to be rescued — and he doesn’t hold back on the reasons why. He praises streamer Asmongold for proving you don’t need to be polished or politically correct to build a massive audience — just tell the truth and watch people show up. Clay also addresses the recent wave of personal attacks, including critics dredging up his ex-wife, then flips the script by exposing the Brady/Giglio list as nothing more than a grift. In response, he launches his own “FAFO List” for people who make false reports against good law enforcement officers. Clay reacts to the discovery of Ku Klux Klan artifacts at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, refusing to let history be erased and calling out the political hypocrisy that surrounds it. He also spotlights an upcoming fundraiser at Cypress Point Resort benefiting U.S. Marine veteran Madison DeLoach and two-year-old Salem Bennett, who is facing multiple surgeries for arthrogryposis. Hour 2 features special guest Andrew Gasser for a candid, sometimes uncomfortable conversation on street preaching. The duo reacts to viral clips from Sister Cindy’s “Ho No Mo Tour” at Ole Miss and debates the more confrontational style of local preachers like Brother Gabe at area concerts. They dig into free speech, cultural standards, modesty, fatherhood, faith, and how to reach people with truth without driving them away. Listener calls keep the discussion lively and raw.

Join Clay Edwards on The Clay Edwards Show for a high-octane Tuesday morning packed with unfiltered Mississippi talk radio. Clay opens the show with a wild commute story: a near pile-up on Highway 49 caused by a reckless school bus and gravel truck that nearly turned his morning drive into a Final Destination moment. He also breaks down what it really takes to run a lean, powerful talk station in the state—where every team member sells, produces, researches, and shows up ready to work. The highlight of the hour? Clay welcomes General Bob live in studio to launch his brand-new Tuesday 9 a.m. swap-meet style radio show on WYAB. Listeners can call in to buy, sell, or trade anything—from old toilets that still flush perfectly to sports memorabilia and everything in between. The two immediately test it out on air and dive into a fun, nostalgic conversation about General Bob’s radio roots, high-school football days at Warren Central, and his color-commentating career. From there the conversation flows into classic Mid-South wrestling memories—Junkyard Dog, Road Warriors, Midnight Express, Magnum TA, and more—plus Clay’s signature rants on online critics, authenticity in media, audience building, and why staying true to yourself beats playing it safe every time. Expect candid opinions, local flavor, and plenty of laughs in this entertaining, no-sugar-added episode.

In the explosive opening rant that kicks off this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay unloads on the Mississippi welfare fraud scandal and explains exactly why he stayed completely silent on the Ted DiBiase Jr. case for years — even while everyone was begging him to weigh in. Clay calls it like he sees it: the state of Mississippi signed the checks, approved the contracts, and agreed to pay the money. If DiBiase did the work (and Clay argues he did), then any overpayment or buyer’s remorse is a civil issue — not a criminal fraud case worthy of 185 years in prison. He draws the perfect parallel to Brett Favre and rips into the politicized “gotcha” that turned a bad government program into a federal witch hunt. Raw, no-filter, and straight from the gut, Clay explains why he refuses to pretend to be an expert on every story, takes shots at wanna-be journalists who run their mouths without knowing the facts, and breaks the entire case down to the simplest level anyone can understand: “The state wrote the check. They got buyer’s remorse when the politics changed.” This is Clay at his most unfiltered — the exact reason listeners tune in. A fiery, common-sense takedown of government waste, selective prosecution, and why this verdict was the right one. Don’t miss the rant that sets the tone for the entire Scott Gilbert interview.

In a raw, personal moment on hour 3 of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay Edwards gets real with Andrew Gasser about a deportation story that hits close to home. He tells the story of Eddie — a man Clay has known for decades — who was legally adopted from The Philippines as a young child by American missionary parents and has lived in Mississippi nearly his entire life. Brought here completely legally, fully Americanized, English-speaking, and with almost no remaining ties to his birth country, Eddie served his time for a past felony. Yet ICE is now deporting him back to The Philippines this week — a place he barely remembers and has no real connection to. Clay openly wrestles with the situation: he strongly supports aggressive immigration enforcement and mass deportations, but questions whether this is the right outcome for someone raised as an American from childhood. Andrew weighs in on adoption paperwork issues, prosecutorial discretion, and the human side of enforcement. Emotional, honest, and thought-provoking — this segment shows Clay’s conflicted, human side as he grapples with a case that isn’t black-and-white in the middle of the bigger immigration debate.

In this eye-opening crime stats segment from hour 3 of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay Edwards and Andrew Gasser break down the latest Jackson homicide numbers and the jaw-dropping difference between policing jurisdictions. According to WLBT reporting, Jackson is now at 16 murders year-to-date — and every single one has occurred inside traditional Jackson Police Department (JPD) jurisdiction. Meanwhile, the Capitol Complex Improvement District (CCID), patrolled by the Mississippi Capitol Police, has recorded zero homicides so far this year. Clay highlights the stark contrast and credits the Capitol Police’s aggressive, no-nonsense approach — including vehicle pursuits and proactive enforcement — versus JPD’s more restrictive policies. They also call out local media patterns, noting how some reporters hammer the Capitol Police while giving JPD far less scrutiny despite the ongoing violence. Clay ties it directly into Jackson’s broader problems with selective enforcement and why certain parts of the city continue to struggle. A data-driven, no-spin look at what actually works when it comes to fighting violent crime in Mississippi’s capital. Must-listen for anyone following Jackson crime trends, police accountability, or the real results of different policing strategies.

In this no-holds-barred hour 3 segment of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay Edwards teams up with Andrew Gasser to unload on the explosive controversy at Pops Saloon (aka Pops Around the Corner) in Jackson. After videos went viral showing what appears to be full explicit strip club performances — complete with nudity and “spread eagle” stage shows — Clay makes it crystal clear: this isn’t about morality or being anti-adult entertainment. Legal strip clubs like Danny’s and Babe’s are forced to follow strict adult entertainer licensing, special permits, and heavy regulations. Yet Pops — the same spot that saw a mass shooting on New Year’s Eve that left four people wounded — is allegedly running wide-open illegal strip shows with zero consequences. Clay and Andrew rip into the blatant double standard, the new Jackson mayor and DEI-hired police chief’s silence, and why the city continues letting certain businesses openly defy the law while others get crushed for the same violations. They tie it straight into Jackson’s bigger problems: 16 murders year-to-date under JPD jurisdiction, a culture of selective enforcement, and how this lawlessness drags the entire city down. Clay calls for real action — pulling the state beer permit, adding the venue to the nuisance list, and finally holding everyone to the same rules.

In this timely trial update from The Clay Edwards Show, defense attorney Scott Gilbert — who just secured Ted DiBiase Jr.’s acquittal — sits down with Clay to break down the latest in the high-profile Capitol Police manslaughter case involving officer Michael Rhinewalt and Jalen Lewis. Gilbert reveals the cases have now been consolidated and are set for trial in May. Without discussing specific evidence, he explains the unusual charging theory in the indictment: the officers reasonably believed they were in imminent danger when Lewis drove his vehicle toward them, yet prosecutors argue that belief was unreasonable — a rare legal concept called “imperfect self-defense” normally used only as a jury instruction to reduce murder to manslaughter. He walks through key use-of-force principles: how a vehicle can legally be treated as a deadly weapon, why officers (or any citizen) don’t have to wait until they’re physically struck to defend themselves, and why this indictment is so uncommon. Clay shares his strong view that the officers were fully justified, drawing parallels to similar vehicle attacks nationwide. A clear, no-spin look at self-defense law, vehicle-as-weapon cases, and one of Mississippi’s most watched police incidents heading into trial. Essential listening for anyone interested in law enforcement accountability, use-of-force rulings, or criminal justice in the state.

In this must-hear legal explainer from The Clay Edwards Show, defense attorney Scott Gilbert joins Clay to tackle the controversial “Brady List” (Brady-Giglio list) that’s been circulating in Mississippi law enforcement circles. Clay asks whether these lists — often promoted by activists and self-described citizen journalists as a tool where anyone can reportedly pay $100 to add an officer’s name — carry real weight in court or are simply “pay-to-play” schemes with no legal force. Scott, a veteran trial lawyer with decades of courtroom experience, admits he’s never heard of any informal public “pay-to-play” Brady list. He then delivers a clear, authoritative breakdown of the actual Brady and Giglio rules: prosecutors have a constitutional obligation to disclose impeachment evidence to the defense — including any prior findings of dishonesty by law enforcement witnesses — but only when there’s a formal judicial determination (a judge’s specific finding after testimony) or documented misconduct. He explains how Giglio requests work, why the standard is intentionally high, and how this protection is part of every defendant’s right to a fair trial under Brady v. Maryland. A sharp, no-spin conversation that cuts through the online misinformation and sets the record straight on one of the most misunderstood topics in criminal justice right now. Perfect for anyone following police accountability, disclosure rules, or courtroom procedure in Mississippi.

In hour 3, Andrew Gasser steps in for unfiltered talk on local Jackson issues, including controversial activities at Pops Saloon as a window into inconsistent law enforcement and rule-of-law challenges, the city's ongoing violence with 16 murders under JPD jurisdiction this year, a heartbreaking deportation story involving a long-time Mississippi resident adopted from the Philippines as a child despite decades here and a resolved legal matter, and reactions to President Trump's extension of the Iran deadline amid productive talks on the Strait of Hormuz.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, defense attorney Scott Gilbert joins for hours 1 and 2 to unpack Ted DiBiase Jr.'s stunning not-guilty verdict in Mississippi's high-profile welfare fraud trial. Gilbert reveals the winning strategy: starting with the desired jury outcome and building the case backward, emphasizing the volume of legitimate work DiBiase performed, contracts drafted by state government lawyers, and the broader context of MDHS privatization efforts under John Davis during the first Trump administration. They discuss the misuse of TANF funds, the chaotic government bureaucracy that ensnared participants, why the prosecution's appeals to emotion fell flat, DiBiase's wrestling background and family journey, Brett DiBiase's recovery, the Capitol Police manslaughter case involving Jalen Lewis and imperfect self-defense, and the limits of suing the federal government post-acquittal.

The Manosphere Documentary Deep Dive – Poison or Prescription? Clay Edwards tackles the Netflix documentary on the "manosphere" head-on, giving listeners a no-holds-barred breakdown of what it gets right, what it gets wrong, and why it might actually be the lesser evil in today's cultural landscape. He starts by explaining the manosphere spectrum: from the more mainstream, PG-13 version (think Joe Rogan) to the raw, red-pill corner occupied by Andrew Tate-style creators, Fresh & Fit, and single-guy hustle podcasts. Clay admits there's plenty of grift and over-the-top posturing—strippers, Lambos, "money, hoes, clothes"—but he argues there's real value underneath: lessons on not simping, building self-respect, avoiding one-itis, and embracing high-testosterone, alpha-male behavior. The core question Clay poses is brutal and honest: If you have a 17–19-year-old son full of natural testosterone and not exactly rushing to church or Bible study, which influence would you rather he absorb? The rainbow-agenda, college-professor-approved, progressive content pushing gender fluidity and Disney-level propaganda? Or the manosphere's unapologetic straight-male energy that—at minimum—steers clear of converting kids to ideologies parents dread? Clay doesn't sugarcoat it: No sane parent hopes their son grows up gay or trans (even if they'd love him either way), yet mainstream media and Hollywood seem hell-bent on shoving that narrative everywhere. In contrast, the manosphere—flawed as it is—pushes traditional relationship dynamics (trad-wife vibes on the surface, even if the lifestyle often contradicts it), discourages pedestalizing women, and fills the massive void left by absent fathers in both black and white communities. He draws parallels between rapper/athlete worship in one demographic and the red-pill podcast scene in another: both glorify banging as many girls and stacking cash as possible, but the manosphere at least teaches young men not to be doormats. He ties it to Jackson's single-mother epidemic, the Simon City Royals as a white-community parallel, and the broader crisis of boys growing up without strong male role models—whether they're parroting rap culture or manosphere streamers. Clay's bottom line? If forced to pick your poison, he'll take the testosterone-fueled, anti-simp messaging every day of the week (and twice on Sunday) over the alternative. He even jokes he'd pay for the subscriptions if it kept his hypothetical son away from the "gay agenda" pipeline. Expect candid father-of-daughters perspective, zero apologies, sharp cultural critique, and Clay's trademark bluntness as he weighs entertainment value, life lessons, and long-term consequences. This segment is raw, provocative, and guaranteed to spark strong reactions—perfect for anyone wrestling with what young men are consuming in 2025. A must-listen for parents, single guys, and anyone tired of sanitized, agenda-driven content masquerading as empowerment.

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Former pro WWE wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr. has been found not guilty on all counts in Mississippi’s largest-ever welfare fraud scandal. He was accused of stealing nearly $3 million meant to help needy families in the state. Jurors deliberated for over four hours on Friday morning, ultimately leading to a not guilty verdict. Prosecutors said DiBiase used the federal welfare funds he received from MCEC and FRC to purchase a $1.4 million home in Madison County, a $55,000 pontoon boat, a $34,000 Kubota tractor, and a $40,000 truck, among other purchases.

**Episode 1180 – FAFO Friday: Trump's Epic Pearl Harbor Burn – Liberals Melt Down, Trump Wins Again** Clay Edwards lights up the show with pure glee over President Trump's latest masterclass in savage one-liners: the Pearl Harbor joke that left the room stunned and the media clutching pearls during an Oval Office meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. It all went down when a Japanese reporter pressed Trump on why the U.S. didn't tip off allies—like Japan—before the joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran. Trump's response? Straight fire: "We went in very hard and we didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? OK, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" Clay breaks it down with zero filter: Trump didn't just drop a historical zinger—he flipped the script on the "surprise attack" question, reminding everyone who actually started that element of surprise back in 1941. He mocks the liberal outrage machine for pretending to care about offending allies while ignoring the context (Japan blindsided us, dragged us into WWII, and we ended it decisively). Clay loves how Trump delivered it with that signature smirk, even adding a playful jab about Japan believing in surprise "much more than us"—pure trolling gold. He paints the scene: PM Takaichi's eyes widening, smile fading, taking a deep breath as the room processes the burn. Clay calls it legendary—Trump owning the room, owning history, and owning the libs who clutch at "taboo" while excusing every other historical grievance. He ties it back to broader themes: why can't we joke about our own history 85 years later? We got sucker-punched at Pearl Harbor; we're allowed to laugh about it now. And if Japan can handle securing the Strait of Hormuz amid the Iran mess, they can handle a little presidential ribbing. Expect Clay's trademark laughs, no-apologies defense of Trump's style, and a reminder that this is why people love him—he says what everyone's thinking but won't say. He even jokes about the media meltdown: "Die angry, liberals. Trump just reminded the world who really knows surprise." A hilarious, high-energy segment full of historical shade, current-events spice, and Clay's unfiltered take on why Trump's humor hits different. Perfect for anyone who appreciates a president who doesn't play by the woke rules—grab your popcorn and relive the moment that had Twitter (and the press) in shambles.
