The Clay Edwards Show

Clay and Andrew Gasser discuss the unofficial cancellation of Black Spring Break on the Mississippi Gulf Coast this weekend. They break down the heavy police presence, towing of vehicles, strict enforcement, and the resulting meltdown from activists claiming discrimination and major financial losses for the coast. Clay and Andrew talk about the difference between “spring break” and the chaos that often follows these large events, the reality of balancing tourism with public safety, and whether the coast made the right call by cracking down instead of looking the other way. Raw, honest conversation about culture, enforcement, and why some events come with a higher price tag than others.

Clay and Andrew Gasser break down the news that Kamala Harris is seriously considering a 2028 presidential run. They discuss how someone who couldn’t win a primary in 2024 and dropped out early in 2020 could possibly think she has a shot, the dangerous level of Trump Derangement Syndrome still infecting the left, and whether the Democrats have learned anything from their recent defeats or are still completely detached from reality. Clay and Andrew also talk about the shifting political landscape, the loud minority vs. the silent majority, and what a potential Harris comeback attempt would actually look like.

Clay addresses the massive backlash after he posted a photo of a woman set up selling items (and taking donations) from a chair in the middle of a busy Jackson intersection. He explains what he meant by “Only in Jackson,” why this kind of thing isn’t tolerated in surrounding cities, and how the post blew up with thousands of angry comments calling him racist. Clay also discusses his conversation with Angela Buckner from The MIC Magazine, where they talk about the photo, the emotional reaction from the black community, the reality of law enforcement (or lack thereof) in Jackson, and the unintended positive outcome when people rage-donated to the woman to spite him. Controversial, unfiltered, and no apologies — Clay breaks it all down.

Clay sits down with Angela Buckner of The MIC Magazine to break down the horrific mass shooting in Belzoni that left five people shot and one dead at an after-party following the Catfish Festival. Angela and Clay discuss the lack of any fight or warning, the hundreds of gunshots captured on video, the pattern of unprovoked violence in the Delta, and why these incidents keep happening with little accountability. They also talk about the broader culture issues, the failure of local leadership, and what it will take to stop the cycle.

Clay kicks off a Manic Monday with special guest Angela Buckner from The MIC Magazine, diving deep into the mass shooting in Belzoni that left five people shot and one dead at an after-party following the Catfish Festival. They discuss the lack of warning, the culture of violence in the Delta, and why these incidents keep happening with no real accountability. In hour two, Andrew Gasser joins Clay in the studio for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from Kamala Harris floating a 2028 presidential run, the shifting political landscape, to the difference between “conflict” and all-out war in the Middle East. Clay also addresses the backlash from his “Only in Jackson” post about a street vendor setup at a busy intersection, explains his point about law enforcement and culture rot, and reflects on how hate and controversy often drive real-world results — whether people admit it or not.

Clay Edwards gets brutally honest about his disappointment in many of the vaccine rights and health freedom activists he respects and has had on the show. These are the same people who fought hard against mandates for years — and now they’re quickly turning their backs on Donald Trump over the Epstein files and U.S. action in Iran. He calls it “really amazing” that they’re abandoning him after Trump delivered exactly what they wanted: bringing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into the administration and launching the full MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement. Clay points out the real progress already happening — unwinding unnecessary vaccine mandates and getting poisons out of America’s food supply — and urges them to show some gratitude instead of one-issue tunnel vision and purity testing. No name-calling, but no sugarcoating either. Clay invites any of them to come on the show next week and defend their stance, then drops the simple question everyone should be asking: would you really rather have Kamala Harris right now? Classic, unfiltered Clay Edwards reality radio.

Clay Edwards gets an unexpected call from an Insure Me Obamacare marketplace rep who launches into the usual scripted pitch about updating his health plan, new subsidies, and comparing 2026 options. He plays along politely for a few seconds, asking questions like a normal customer… then casually drops the bomb: “Actually, you’re on the air right now — y’all just called into a radio show here in Jackson, Mississippi. ”The caller immediately freezes, stumbles over his words, and quickly bails with “I’ll just mark that as the wrong number.” Clay cracks up and says, “Gotta have a little fun every now and then. ”Classic live radio gotcha moment — turning the tables on one of those annoying insurance callers in real time.  

Clay Edwards kicks off the show with a question that instantly hits a nerve with every driver: What’s the single most annoying feature on today’s vehicles — the default setting you didn’t ask for, or that overpriced bells-and-whistles upgrade you never use?   He leads the charge with his #1 hatred: the auto start-stop system that kills the engine at every red light and stop sign. Then the phones light up and the texts flood in as listeners unload. Apple CarPlay hijacking phone calls and blasting them through the speakers at full volume. Radar cruise control that nervously speeds up and slows down in traffic. Lane-keeping alerts and vibrating seats. Blinding headlights that swivel with the steering wheel and light up oncoming drivers like a police spotlight. Auto high beams that flicker like a strobe light. Automatic volume adjustment, displacement-on-demand engines that murder Chevy camshafts, windshield washer fluid that sprays through the wipers instead of on the glass, and a dozen more. Clay weaves in hilarious stories from his years in the car business, generational rants about what “fully loaded” used to mean back in the ’80s and ’90s (power windows, CD player, and leather — that was it), and plenty of nostalgic memories about learning to drive a stick shift in old trucks with bench seats. Raw, relatable, and laugh-out-loud funny — this is the ultimate group therapy session for anyone who’s ever wanted to rip the wiring out of a brand-new vehicle. If you drive anything made in the last ten years, you’re gonna be yelling “YES!” at your speakers the whole time.

Clay Edwards goes full scorched-earth on the fair-weather MAGA crowd in this fiery segment. After Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and the rest of the grifter class abandoned Donald Trump over the Epstein files and U.S. strikes on Iran, Clay crowns himself the new MAGA King — ride-or-die, no apologies. He rips into the “faux MAGA,” “Panikins,” and isolationist sissy cucks who hijacked “America First” into “no more wars ever,” calling them out for one-issue-voter tunnel vision and sudden panic the second Trump handles actual terrorists screaming “death to America.” Clay makes it crystal clear: sometimes you still have to do American badass stuff. FAFO Friday isn’t just a slogan — every now and then the tree of liberty gets watered with the blood of enemies, and Trump is finally showing the world why America is still the superpower. No hedging, no virtue-signaling, just pure unfiltered Clay: be grateful for the wins, stop crying about the hard calls, and quit turning on Trump the second things get real. Pure fire.

Clay Edwards unloads on the WAPT exposé that’s got everyone talking: the daily takeover of the Stop and Shop gas station on Beasley Road — directly across the street from Callaway High School — by “Young Ninjas” (YNs). Parents are dropping kids off an hour and a half before school even starts, turning the parking lot into a full-blown fight club by 7:30 a.m. Large crowds, brawls, loitering, and total disrespect for employees have turned the convenience store into a no-go zone, with hours of security footage proving it’s happening every single day. Clay breaks down the raw video, the frustrated employees who say the school and resource officers are doing nothing, and the deeper cultural rot behind it. He doesn’t hold back on why certain Jackson gas stations have become modern-day battlegrounds, the “snitch” backlash coming for the people who exposed it, and what this says about accountability in Mississippi’s capital.  

Clay opens with a hilarious, highly relatable question of the day: what’s the most annoying feature on modern cars? From the auto start-stop system that kills the engine at every red light, to blinding headlights that turn with the wheel, lane-keeping alerts, radar cruise control, and a dozen other “safety” bells and whistles nobody asked for, Clay rants, shares war stories from his car-sales days, and reads listener call-ins and texts about the gadgets that drive them crazy. The conversation quickly pivots to politics as Clay crowns himself the “MAGA King,” refusing to abandon Donald Trump while calling out the fair-weather voices in conservative media who have bailed over the Epstein files and recent strikes on Iran. He delivers a fiery, no-apologies defense of America First realism: sometimes you still have to handle bad actors, and he’s ride-or-die on it. On the local front, Clay breaks down raw Jackson stories making headlines — including the epidemic of student fights and chaos at a gas station right across from Callaway High School (complete with security footage) and a brazen carjacking/robbery caught on video at the Wendy’s on High Street. He also touches on the Jackson Police Chief’s contract drama and Melania Trump’s unexpected comments on the Epstein situation. Packed with generational car nostalgia, stick-shift memories, family stories, and Clay’s signature unfiltered commentary, this episode is pure free-range human reality radio. Buckle up — it’s a wild, honest ride.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1193: Jada Kelly DUI Verdict – Two Dead, One Mangled, and She Walks Free Clay breaks down the shocking Hinds County jury verdict in the Jada Kelly case: not guilty on all counts of aggravated DUI after she allegedly drove with a blood alcohol level of 0.182 — more than twice the legal limit — and killed two sisters while severely injuring a third man. He plays out the disturbing details of the crash on I-55 Frontage Road, questions how the case fell apart in court, and calls out what he sees as clear two-tier justice in Hinds County. The segment gets even more intense when a heartbroken father calls in to share his own daughter’s very different experience with a DUI crash — a white girl who received decades in prison under far less clear circumstances. Clay lays out his blunt theory: If Jada Kelly had been white and the victims Black, she would have been found guilty in five seconds flat. He explores whether the DA’s office, the judge, or the jury bears the blame, and what this verdict says about accountability in Jackson. Raw, emotional, and unfiltered talk on crime, justice, and double standards in Central Mississippi.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1193: FAFO Championship Winner – Kalveonte Moore & The 4+ Vowel Criminal Mastermind Theory Clay kicks off the show by crowning a brand new FAFO Champion: carjacking suspect Kalveonte Moore. After a wild pursuit on Highway 49 that ended with spike strips and a stolen car recovered, Clay breaks down why names with four or more vowels (plus rogue V’s, Z’s, or X’s) seem to be a statistically proven red flag for serious criminal activity in Jackson. From “serial killer level” naming trends to single-mom name generators and the undeniable pattern he’s observed covering Jackson crime, Clay delivers his signature unfiltered take on why certain names keep showing up in the police blotter — and why trends don’t lie. It’s part comedy, part cold observation, and 100% Clay Edwards. If you like raw, no-holds-barred commentary on Jackson crime stories, this segment is a must-listen.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1193: Gabriel Prado, Don Gabriel Gas Stations, and the “Gentrification is Racist” Scam** Clay and Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com rip into the latest attack on one of Jackson’s most active developers, Gabriel Prado. When a local podcaster accuses Prado of “gentrifying” Jackson with Prado Lofts (that “no one in Jackson can afford”) and turning rundown gas stations into Don Gabriel locations that supposedly price people out, Clay and Kingfish dismantle the claims point by point. They expose the misinformation, question why anyone investing real money into cleaning up blighted properties and building mixed-use developments gets labeled racist, and ask the obvious: If black ownership is so important, why attack the guy actually fixing up gas stations and investing millions instead of doing it yourself? From Topgolf to Prado Lofts to revitalized convenience stores, the conversation cuts through the noise on why some voices scream “gentrification” every time someone tries to improve Jackson — and why that mindset keeps the city stuck. Unfiltered talk on development, investment, and the tired “gentrification is racist” narrative in Jackson, Mississippi. Guest: Kingfish – JacksonJambalaya.com

Clay takes a hard look at Jackson’s newly appointed police chief and asks the question everyone’s thinking: Is she more high-maintenance bougie diva than effective crime fighter? From the brand-new Dodge Durango GT she’s already rolling in, to the requested one-year severance package (a full year’s salary if she’s fired for almost any reason), Clay and special guest Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com break down whether this hire is worth the squeeze. They discuss the optics of giving an expensive new vehicle and security detail to the chief while the city faces a massive budget deficit, the red flags from her previous job, and whether the early returns suggest she’s the solution Jackson needs — or just another expensive disappointment. Plus: First-day arrests at Rebel Woods Apartments and what real progress against crime in Jackson might actually look like. Raw, unfiltered talk on one of Jackson’s biggest issues right now.

The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1193: New Jackson Police Chief – Bougie Diva or the Real Deal? In this explosive hour, Clay dives deep into the controversial hiring of Jackson’s new police chief and whether the early returns suggest she’s more high-maintenance diva than crime-fighting powerhouse. Joined by Kingfish of JacksonJambalaya.com, they peel back the layers on her flashy new Dodge Durango, the questionable contract demands (including a massive one-year severance package), and whether this hire is the fresh start Jackson desperately needs or just more of the same. Clay and Kingfish also break down the dramatic Gabriel Prado / Don Gabriel gas stations controversy — addressing accusations of “gentrification,” the reality of what’s actually happening with these redevelopment projects, and why some local voices seem determined to attack anyone actually investing in Jackson. Additional topics include: - A wild FAFO Championship winner (Carjacking suspect Kalveonte Moore) - The Jada Kelly DUI verdict and questions about two-tier justice in Hinds County - Rebel Woods Apartments arrests and what real progress against crime might look like Unfiltered, no-sugar-added talk radio at its finest. If you want straight talk on Jackson’s crime, politics, and development battles, this episode delivers. Guest: Kingfish – JacksonJambalaya.com

Clay opens the show with a fiery victory lap: While liberals, RINOs, and “panickins” were melting down and demanding the 25th Amendment because Trump tweeted tough on Iran, he delivered results — forcing a ceasefire, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and stabilizing oil prices without firing a single American shot. Clay mocks the same deranged voices who spent days screaming that Trump was about to start World War III, only to watch Iran bend the knee. He calls out their hypocrisy: they’d rather drag America into another endless war than admit Trump’s approach actually worked. Raw, unfiltered, and zero apologies — exactly how a Clay Edwards opening should sound.

Clay breaks down the surprising difference in cousin marriage laws between Mississippi and Florida. In Mississippi, first-cousin marriage is explicitly illegal and considered incestuous and void under state law. Clay reads the statute and explains why the ban has been in place for decades. In Florida, first-cousin marriage is still fully legal. A bill that would have banned it failed to pass in the 2026 legislative session, even with support from Governor DeSantis. Clay ties the conversation into broader cultural issues, including Sharia law, bloodline purity, and why some states still allow it while others (like Mississippi) do not. A straightforward, no-BS look at a topic most people don’t realize varies so wildly by state.

Clay opens with a fiery victory lap: Big Daddy Trump saved the world again with “mean tweets,” forcing Iran into a ceasefire, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and stabilizing oil prices — all without firing a single American shot. He mocks liberals, RINOs, and “panickins” who spent days screaming that Trump was about to start World War III and are now melting down because he actually delivered results. Clay then hands out a particularly nasty FAFO Championship after a Horn Lake man pleads guilty to unnatural intercourse with the family dog. Later in the show, Clay dives into cousin marriage laws (illegal in Mississippi, still legal in Florida), ties it to broader cultural and Sharia law discussions, and reacts to a disturbing FedEx driver abduction case in Texas. Unfiltered, no sugar added, and packed with Clay’s signature mix of victory laps, hard truths, and dark humor.    

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.
