The Clay Edwards Show

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay and guest Creston Birch go deep on the heated debate over bringing a massive hyperscale data center to Jackson’s Lake Hico site.
City leaders are quietly pursuing a potential **$5–15 billion** private investment that could generate up to **$20 million annually** for Jackson’s struggling budget. Clay makes the case that this is a generational opportunity Jackson cannot afford to miss — delivering thousands of high-paying construction jobs, permanent tech and support positions, and major workforce development funding for JPS, Jackson State, and Hinds Community College.
Clay pushes back hard against the opposition, calling out conspiracy theories about water theft, rolling blackouts, cancer risks, and claims that the city’s budget crisis was inflated to push the deal. He argues Jackson should stop cutting off its nose to spite its face and embrace real economic development instead of holding out for unrealistic “mixed-use” dreams.
With existing power infrastructure, water access, and prime location near I-20, Lake Hico is perfectly positioned — but politics and fear may kill the deal before it starts.
**Is this Jackson’s last best chance at a comeback, or a dangerous giveaway?**

**Podcast Description for Episode 1257 of The Clay Edwards Show**
Clay Edwards is back with a no-holds-barred episode featuring special guest **Creston Berch** (retired Clinton Police Department veteran with 30 years on the force) for a fiery discussion on race, crime, culture, and Mississippi’s future.
In this episode, Clay and Creston break down **Operation No Way** — the controversial push by some in Mississippi’s Black community to arm themselves with concealed carry permits in response to the Nolan Wells case. They examine the facts surrounding the drowning, push back hard against the “white mob hunting Black boys” narrative, and dive into sobering national crime statistics showing the massive disparity in Black-on-White versus White-on-Black violent crime.
Additional highlights include:- The left’s fear of testosterone and Pete Hegseth’s new military screening policy- Jackson’s skyrocketing homicide rate and the usual summer crime surge- The heated debate over proposed data centers at Lake Hico — economic opportunity vs. conspiracy theories about water, power, cancer, and “selling out” the city- Why Mississippi needs to embrace trades, construction jobs, and real economic development instead of cutting off its nose to spite its face- Local politics, career politicians, term limits, and common-sense government
Plus the usual unfiltered takes on media hypocrisy, the no-snitch culture, and why closure on the Nolan Wells case is critical for race relations in the state.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1256: FAFO Friday
On this FAFO Friday, Clay kicks things off with some real talk about his TRT journey — building muscle like never before, feeling unstoppable at nearly 50, and why he calls it the fountain of youth (with the caveat that you still gotta put in the work).
Clay then shifts gears for a much-needed mental break from the culture wars, opening the floor to listeners about their best concerts ever. He shares his unforgettable experience at the Rock Never Stops tour featuring Quiet Riot, Slaughter, and Warrant — a high-energy night that reignited his lifelong love for 80s hair metal. Expect plenty of nostalgia, stories about the resurgence of rock, grunge discoveries, and classic tales from Lollapalooza, Family Values Tour, and more.
Later, Clay dives back into heavier topics: the ongoing Nolan Wells case and his frustration with race-baiters, conspiracy theories, and endless Emmett Till comparisons that cheapen real history. He also breaks down Donald Trump’s recent comments on China’s role in the 2020 election theft, voter data breaches, and why the evidence keeps getting buried by the mainstream.
Unfiltered, no sugar added, and all over the map — just how the show should be. Strap in for laughs, music memories, accountability, and straight talk.
🔥 Available now on all major platforms.

Clay goes off in this powerful rant after a listener calls him an "inconsiderate prick" and accuses him of being insensitive to "Black oppression."
In his signature no-holds-barred style, Clay pushes back hard: **"Black oppression is the most self-inflicted oppression that anyone could ever suffer through."** He breaks down the double standards exposed in the Nolan Wells case — no-snitch culture in Black-on-Black crime versus the immediate demands for total transparency and "investigations" when the narrative fits.
Clay plays the viral clip of what he calls the "dumbest Black woman’s reaction" to the Nolan Wells tragedy, calling out vibes and feelings over facts, evidence, and actual investigations. He explains why he takes these issues personally — referencing his family’s businesses that thrived by serving the Black community for years — and how accusations of racism against Trump supporters destroyed friendships over nothing.
This is raw, unfiltered accountability talk on self-inflicted problems, Democrat double standards, and why “four hundred years” of blame doesn’t hold up when real progress has been made since the Civil Rights era.
If you want straight talk instead of sugar-coated excuses, this segment delivers.
**The Clay Edwards Show** – Fighting cancel culture and speaking the truth no one else will.

The highlight: Andrew Gasser joins Clay in studio for a high-T discussion on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's new policy mandating annual testosterone screenings for all U.S. military service members 30 and older. They break down the benefits for warfighters (and civilians), TRT's impact on energy, mindset, and performance, the decline in men's testosterone, and the need to bring back real physical fitness standards like the old Presidential Physical Fitness Test (phased out under Obama, now returning in MS).

**Podcast Description for Episode #1255 of The Clay Edwards Show**
Clay shares a rough start to his morning (nausea, hot flashes, and energy drink regrets), then dives into responding to haters after a wild email from "Cooley" labeling him a "sad, pathetic Trump supporter." He reads his recent post "Why I Respond to the Hate" and explains why ignoring lies, slander, and potential deepfakes isn't an option anymore in the AI era.
He spotlights a powerful text from listener Keith (law enforcement) exposing racial double standards in the Nolan Wells investigation — no-snitch culture in Black-on-Black crime vs. demands for total transparency from others. Clay also breaks down a Flowood police chase where a Walmart shoplifting suspect in a Kia Soul wrecked and faced charges.

I'm Afraid I have Some Bad News, CANCEL CULTURE HAS WON!!

In this episode, Clay dives headfirst into the chaos of the day — from battling Big Tech censorship after his major Facebook page (91k followers) was suspended on bogus "prescription drug" claims, to the broader war on cancel culture and the coordinated attacks from professional outrage mobs. Clay breaks down why he's shifting focus heavily to YouTube and other platforms while keeping the mothership — live local radio — as the heart of the operation.
Joined by Wednesday co-host **Tommy Tatum** (J6 survivor, pardoned by Trump, and sharp voice from the Mississippi Delta), they discuss:
- The Nolan Wells case and the blatant race-baiting narratives pushed by activists and media, including a jaw-dropping NewsNation clip that perfectly illustrates the state of race relations.- Ben Crump's playbook, 2020 election truths, and the need for real accountability over performative outrage.- Black culture rot, overreactions to accusations of racism, and why it's time to push back hard.- Local Delta corruption updates, Trump’s upcoming speech, and the spiritual/cultural revival needed to fix what’s broken.
Clay also shouts out sponsors, reflects on building a real audience vs. anger addicts, and reminds listeners why live local talk radio still matters in the age of podcasts and livestreams.
Raw, honest, and unafraid — this is reality radio fighting for the soul of Jackson, Mississippi, and America. Strap in

In this Tuesday episode, Clay continues dismantling the collapsing Nolan Wells race hoax. The latest desperate narrative — a pool party photo “proving” Nolan returned to shore, was murdered, and his body was staged back on Horn Island — has been thoroughly debunked with metadata and witness confirmation. Clay reads the mother’s emotional Facebook post shaming trolls while calling out how she turned a tragic accidental drowning into a national spectacle by immediately bringing in Ben Crump and Al Sharpton.
Clay breaks down the absurd “no man left behind” bro code the culture is pushing and explains how they’re projecting their own lack of impulse control and “fight = murder” reality onto normal people.
