The Clay Edwards Show

My Unplanned Rant About Still Supporting TRUMP

In this riveting opening segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards marks the one-year anniversary of the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, reflecting on how that pivotal moment shifted the political landscape and propelled Trump back to the White House. Clay delves into swirling rumors that Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel are considering resigning amid intense internal clashes over the handling of Jeffrey Epstein's files. He discusses the reported tensions between Bongino, Patel, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, with the FBI pushing for more transparency while the Justice Department has withheld certain records, fueling a MAGA backlash and calls for Bondi's firing. Clay hopes it's just posturing, warning that division plays into the deep state's hands, and stresses the importance of leaders surrounding themselves with truth-tellers who provide honest criticism rather than flattery—even drawing from his own experiences in media.
 
Sharing a tweet from @JoeDanMedia on X, Clay highlights Trump's post-inauguration blitz of 193 decisions, including 170 executive orders and 23 bills, crediting him with closing the border, initiating mass deportations, booming the economy, blue-collar wage growth, massive tax breaks, and ending wars—boasting a 99.5% "winning percentage" that earns the benefit of the doubt amid the Epstein uproar. A caller chimes in on embracing "small victories" in politics and life, likening it to martial arts wisdom and daily self-improvement, urging patience over instant overhauls.
 
Clay doesn't shy away from critiquing Trump but reaffirms his support, calling for a pivot on the Epstein issue without letting it erode trust. Tune in for unfiltered analysis, listener calls, and Clay's raw take on leadership in turbulent times. Follow @SaveJXN on social media for more!

IS JPD BACK AFTER MASSIVE DRUG BUST?

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards tackles the burning question on many Jackson residents' minds: Is the Jackson Police Department (JPD) back? Celebrating a recent narcotics bust on July 11, 2025, where JPD's Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant, seizing illegal drugs and cash as part of an ongoing investigation into drug activity, Clay highlights this as a potential sign of resurgence for the department. He reflects on JPD's past struggles, including what former Chief Joseph Wade described as operational "handcuffs" under previous administrations, which limited enforcement and contributed to Jackson's reputation as a "criminal safe haven."
 
Drawing from positive trends in 2025, Clay notes a dramatic decline in homicides: JPD reported just 33 homicides in the first half of the year, a 42% reduction from 62 during the same period in 2024, aligning with city officials' downward trend. By mid-May 2025, homicides were cut in half (22 compared to 44 in 2024), showcasing improved strategies against violent crime. Additionally, the department rolled out 46 new patrol cars in February 2025, complete with updated designs and pay raises for officers, signaling investments in resources and morale.
 
Clay questions whether these "small victories"—like the drug seizure and reduced crime stats—mean JPD is truly reclaiming its role as a respectable law enforcement agency after years of criticism for inefficiency, DEI-related issues, and lax policies. He calls for transparency on past constraints, arguing that without it, accountability for unsolved cases and preventable deaths remains elusive. Listeners are encouraged to weigh in: Is this the start of a comeback, or just isolated wins? Clay emphasizes celebrating progress while pushing for sustained reform to prove Mayor Jake Windham wrong about Jackson's safe haven status.

MONDAY - FULL SHOW (Ep #1,019)

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into a mix of political commentary, local news, and cultural discussions with his signature unfiltered style. Kicking off with reflections on the one-year anniversary of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Clay explores rumors surrounding Dan Bongino and Kash Patel potentially stepping away from key roles amid tensions over the Epstein files. He emphasizes the need for honest criticism in leadership, sharing personal insights on surrounding oneself with truth-tellers rather than yes-men, and defends Trump's track record while addressing the ongoing Epstein controversy.
Clay shares a compelling tweet highlighting Trump's rapid achievements, including executive orders, border security, economic growth, and tax breaks, arguing it earns him the benefit of the doubt. A caller chimes in on the value of "small victories" in politics and life, drawing parallels to martial arts and personal improvement.
Shifting to local matters, Clay celebrates a recent Jackson Police Department narcotics bust involving marijuana, OxyContin, and a handgun, questioning past constraints on law enforcement and calling for transparency. He then tackles the debate over a Confederate monument in Brandon, stressing the importance of preserving history to avoid repeating it. A caller from Kentucky, a Black woman, shares her perspective on leaving such symbols intact, arguing they don't inherently oppress and that erasing the past risks forgetting its lessons. Clay critiques "white savior" attitudes and advocates teaching all facets of history, including complex figures like Jefferson Davis.
In the "What's Trending" segment, Clay breaks down hot topics on X, including the controversy over President Biden's use of an auto-pen for pardons—potentially invalidating those for Dr. Anthony Fauci and January 6th Committee members like Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney. He expresses excitement over the implications for accountability.
For some levity, Clay crowns his "F'd Around and Found Out" champions: women identified via facial recognition for twerking on a police car in Ohio, tying it to a similar bizarre incident in Jackson from 2021. He humorously questions twerking as a "nervous twitch" in inappropriate settings.
Clay also goes on a passionate rant about declining testosterone levels in men due to modern assaults from food, medicine, and society, urging listeners over 30 to get checked and reclaim their vitality. He ties it to broader cultural shifts favoring "weak men" in leadership.

UNCENSORED LIVE W/ SHAUN, LINDSEY & CLAY (07/13/25)

Someone Asked ChatGPT To Stereotype Jackson & Surrounding Cities, And It's HILARIOUS!!

Clay shares fun, satirical stereotypes of Jackson metro areas generated by ChatGPT, poking fun at Flowood as a soulless strip mall escape, Brandon as a conservative haven obsessed with sports and smokers, Northeast Jackson as old-money denial, Ridgeland as suburban ambition with mall vibes, and Madison as HOA-strict perfection. He encourages listeners to contribute their own stereotypes for areas like Pearl, Clinton, and others.

FAFO Friday Firestorm: JXN Shootout, Scandals, and Statue Battles in Brandon (Ep #1,018)

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off a lively "Fa Fo Friday" with personal anecdotes and local news from Jackson, Mississippi. He apologizes for missing the previous day's show due to a sty in his eye, sharing a humorous story about his vision challenges and a nod to the classic song "A Tear in My Beer." Clay dives into his recent meals, raving about red meat spaghetti, club sandwiches, and red beans and rice from a local spot, emphasizing how he's rediscovered his love for certain dishes after years of preferences.
 
Shifting to an open forum, Clay opens the floor for listener topics but reflects on the week's heavy coverage of Epstein-related revelations. He expresses strong disappointment in the administration's handling, calling it a "black eye" and a reminder that government often disregards the public, eroding trust and demanding full transparency moving forward. He criticizes the bipartisan dismissal of public demands for information, likening it to being treated like "plebs."
 
The show then covers a chaotic shootout in Jackson's Brook Hollow subdivision, where multiple individuals fired over 100 rounds without hitting anyone. Clay details the arrested and wanted suspects—18-year-old Linden Ford, 20-year-old Quinn Marion Chrissler, and 39-year-old Jamal Santez Henderson—mocking unusual names and tying into a theory about vowels in names predicting criminal behavior, inspired by Freakonomics and observations from a colleague. He laments the inefficiency of local violence and calls out the police chief for an admission that he finds "disgusting," though specifics lead into broader critiques of Jackson's ongoing issues under new leadership.

He encourages listeners to contribute their own stereotypes for areas like Pearl, Clinton, and others.
 
The discussion heats up on local controversies, including a heated debate from a recent livestream about school choice as a cure-all (which Clay opposes) and the push to relocate a Civil War memorial statue in Brandon. He argues against moving it, citing hypocrisy among leaders and double standards in free speech, where conservatives face backlash while others don't. A caller shares a powerful firsthand experience touring Berlin Wall remnants in Germany, emphasizing the importance of preserving history to avoid repeating tyranny, drawing parallels to not hiding America's past.
 
Clay touches on a scandal involving local figure Vernon Hartley, humorously analyzing a viral post about his personal escapades that backfired on the poster, turning into unintended promotion. He wraps with criticism of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's claims that violence stems only from MAGA supporters, countering with examples of Democrat-led urban violence and riots.
 
Throughout, Clay interacts with listener texts and comments, blending humor, personal health tips on testosterone benefits, and calls for accountability in leadership. The episode ends on a high note previewing an upcoming wildlife event, delivering a mix of local gossip, political rants, and community banter perfect for a Friday wind-down.

THIS IS WHY I VOTED FOR TRUMP (ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ PRISONER CRIES LIKE B!TCH)

Welcome to The Clay Edwards Show, where I deliver unfiltered takes on the day’s biggest issues. Today, I’m diving into two hot topics: the controversial "Alligator Alcatraz" detention facility in the Florida Everglades and why I stand by my vote for Trump. First, we explore a detainee’s shocking interview from Alligator Alcatraz—complaining about mosquito-sized elephants, freezing tents, and scarce food. I call it a classic case of “eff around and find out,” arguing the conditions reflect personal accountability for those detained. Then, I explain my “ride or die” support for Trump, even while criticizing his handling of the Epstein saga. I voted for accountability and bold action—like the DOJ’s new investigation into Brennan and Comey—and I’ll back him when he’s right, while calling him out when he’s wrong. Two things can be true at once!Why Listen?

FIRST AMENDMENT AUDITOR FAFO'D W/ MHP TROOPER AT GOVERNORS MANSION

Welcome to The Clay Edwards Show, where I dive into the day’s hottest topics with an unfiltered take. Today, I’m breaking down a viral incident involving a first amendment auditor clashing with a Mississippi trooper outside the governor’s mansion. These self-proclaimed “auditors” record public officials to test free speech rights, but is it activism or just harassment? I argue it’s the latter, comparing them to the Westboro Baptist Church for targeting innocent employees—like security guards—without cause. The trooper’s reaction (putting hands on the auditor) sparks debate: was it justified self-defense or overreach? I say the auditor asked for it with his provocative “What are you gonna do?”—and got an answer he didn’t like. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but I’m not siding with the auditor here. Listen in for my take on free speech boundaries and personal accountability. Why Listen?
