Welcome to Episode 1,246 of The Clay Edwards Show — unfiltered, no sugar added talk radio from right here in Central Mississippi.
In the first hour, Clay dives deep into the tragic Senatobia shooting death of 1-year-old Cohen Wiley. He breaks down the mother's highly questionable behavior at the child's funeral, her use of the baby as a human shield during the chaos, and why she should face serious charges including child endangerment and accessory. Clay also exposes the driver of the vehicle, Latoya Farrell, and calls out the online mob threatening the involved police officer.

**Podcast Description – Episode #1245**
On this episode, Clay reacts to the shocking news that Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens has taken a plea deal in the Jackson Convention Center bribery scandal just two weeks before trial. Owens pleaded guilty to conspiracy and faces a maximum of five years, a move that caught many off guard given his earlier insistence that he would go to trial.
Clay is joined by a strong legal panel: Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County ADA turned criminal defense attorney), Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com, and Scott Gilbert, a veteran criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor who recently secured a major federal win.
Together they break down the plea deal, what Owens likely gave up in exchange for cooperation, and how this move strengthens the government’s case against the remaining defendants — former Jackson mayor Chokwe Lumumba and former city councilman Aaron Banks. The conversation covers the strength of the evidence (audio, video, money trails), why this was likely the best outcome Owens could realistically get, and what it means for the upcoming trial.
They also discuss the broader issues of public corruption prosecutions, deterrence versus community protection, and why results in the courtroom often don’t serve as a deterrent to future crime.
It’s a raw, in-depth look at one of the biggest political corruption cases in Mississippi in years.

Former Hinds County Asst. D.A Shaun Yurtkuran joins me for an emergency livestream to discuss the fallout and what's next after the shocking guilty plea from sitting Hinds County D.A Jody Owens, what is next for Chokwe Lumumba & Aaron Banks?

On this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay sits down with Scott McCullough from Live Better Men’s Health and Wellness for a deep dive into testosterone replacement therapy and concierge medical care. They break down the real symptoms men are dealing with — brain fog, fatigue, and a complete lack of drive — and discuss how TRT is changing lives. Clay also opens up about his own experience with testosterone, peptides like Sermorelin, dosing strategies, blood work, and fertility concerns for men who may want kids later in life.
In the second half, Clay and co-host Andrew Gasser tear into the weekend’s biggest stories. They discuss the Senatobia Walmart shooting that took the life of one-year-old Cohen Wiley, and Clay reveals new details about the driver involved. The conversation then shifts to a shocking triple homicide in Jackson where two young women and a toddler were gunned down in their home. Clay calls out the glaring double standard in media coverage and public outrage, questioning why some victims get national attention while others are largely ignored.
It’s another raw, unfiltered episode focused on accountability, culture, and the issues nobody else wants to touch.

THE NEXT CHARLIE KIRK - SPECIAL GUEST HOST 17 YR- OLD BLAKE BARTLAM (Ep #1,242)
I took off the the Neshoba County Fair Thursday and tapped the kid that's being called "the next Charlie Kirk" to fill in for me and he hit the ball out of the park, I've never loaded a guest host's episode but I thought enough of the job he did that I figured we'd save this a special Sunday upload!!

**Caitlin Clark Gets Choked on the Court: Clay’s WNBA Rant | Clay Edwards Show**
Clay goes off on the WNBA after a Black player was caught on video appearing to try and choke the life out of Caitlin Clark.
He’s fired up, calling it an outrageous attack on the woman who single-handedly saved the league. Clay points out that before Caitlin Clark arrived, the WNBA was a failing, unwatchable product that nobody cared about for over 20 years. Now the players have private planes, big pay raises, and mainstream attention — all because of her.
Clay questions whether the hostility toward Clark is because she doesn’t fit the league’s “rainbow supremacy” vibe, and he’s not subtle about it. He gives props to Sophie Cunningham and says the player who went after Clark should be facing aggravated assault charges.
This is Clay at his most direct: defending the golden goose of women’s basketball while calling out what he sees as toxic, entitled behavior in the league. He ends the rant with a simple message — “Stop the violence.”
If you’re tired of watching the WNBA bite the hand that fed it, this segment hits hard.
**Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Classic Clay Edwards.**

**Big SCOTUS Win: Trump Admin Can Deport Haitian TPS Holders | Clay Edwards Show**
Clay breaks down the major 6-3 Supreme Court victory that clears the way for the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 340,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.
The Court ruled that lower courts can no longer block the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to terminate TPS. Clay celebrates it as a huge win for restoring sovereignty and reining in activist judges who have been abusing the system to keep people here indefinitely.
He’s direct about what this means: “Time for you to go back home. Get in the hole. Go home.” He points out that TPS was supposed to be temporary after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, but it’s been extended for over 15 years. Now it’s finally coming to an end.
Clay argues that Black American communities will benefit the most from removing Haitian gangs and freeing up jobs. He tells listeners that the next time they see someone wearing a MAGA hat, they should shake their hand and say thank you for making their communities safer.
He shuts down the racism accusations, saying the ruling was based on country conditions and national interest — not race. This segment is pure celebration of Trump’s immigration agenda finally getting the green light from the Supreme Court.
**FAFO Friday just got bigger. A clear win for law, order, and American sovereignty.**

**White Trash vs. Black Gangs: How Real Communities Handle Culture Rot | Clay Edwards Show**
Clay lays out one of the core themes of the show: the stark difference in how conservative, predominantly white communities handle their own problems compared to Democrat-run cities like Jackson.
He uses the recent arrests of Simon City Royals gang members for burglarizing the Jackson impound lot as a prime example. Clay is clear — he has zero tolerance for white trash either. He calls the Simon City Royals a 25-year nuisance and says they’re no different than the Black gangs destroying Jackson. The difference, he argues, is in the response.
In places like Rankin County, Pearl, Brandon, and Madison, Clay says communities actually police themselves. They arrest their trash, set high bonds, shame bad behavior, and remove the problem from the streets. He points to the $500k bond and two SWAT teams used on the Simon City Royals as proof that real consequences still exist in conservative areas.
In contrast, he says Jackson enables and excuses culture rot, especially when it comes from within the Black community. There’s denial, victimhood, and a refusal to demand accountability. Clay argues that this double standard is why the violence and dysfunction continue at such high levels in places like South Jackson.
His bottom line: Good communities — regardless of race — handle their trash the same way. They don’t make excuses. They don’t play identity politics. They enforce standards and remove the rot.
This segment is classic Clay: equal opportunity, no sacred cows, and a clear message that accountability isn’t racist — it’s necessary.
**FAFO Friday energy. Straight talk about culture, crime, and consequences.**
