The Clay Edwards Show

In this hilarious segment from Episode #1147 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards can't resist riffing on an endorsement from Illinois' Henderson County Democratic Party Chair, Dick Bigger Jr.—a real-life farmer who went viral in 2022 for backing Susana Mendoza's comptroller campaign, even appearing in her "Growth Spurt" TV ad and earning shoutouts from Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert. Clay dubs the name "wrestling gold" like "Dirty Dick Murdoch," wonders about "Dick Bigger Senior," and reveals guest Andrew Gasser actually knows the guy. With a photo shared on his personal Facebook for listeners to scope out his farmer look, Clay keeps the laughs rolling in this absurd, name-inspired detour.

In this hard-hitting segment from Episode #1147 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards breaks down the controversial release of two brothers—Michael and Marquavious McLeod—charged in the deadly St. Patrick's Day mass shooting in Downtown Jackson, Mississippi. After spending nearly 10 months behind bars for murder and aggravated assault, the pair walked free when a Hinds County grand jury returned a no-bill, citing insufficient evidence for trial. Clay pulls no punches, questioning the investigation by Capitol Police, the family's self-defense claims (admitting they returned fire but hit innocents), and potential racial sympathies in the jury that let them off. With one victim dead and six injured, Clay argues self-defense doesn't excuse collateral damage and calls out systemic issues in Jackson's justice system. A third suspect remains jailed—tune in for Clay's unfiltered take on accountability, race, and why this case reeks of injustice on WYAB!

In this explosive segment from Episode #1147 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards and guest Andrew Gasser dive into the chaos surrounding the newly released Epstein files.

From lighter banter about the weather and studio antics to hard-hitting commentary on local crime, police accountability, and racial dynamics, Clay pulls no punches—calling out inefficiencies in the Jackson PD, praising improvements under Mayor John Horhn, and emphasizing that good people just want to escape bad neighborhoods, regardless of race.   Hour 2 heats up with special guest Andrew Gasser, diving deep into pro wrestling nostalgia and analysis. They break down the Royal Rumble, epic promos between Roman Reigns and CM Punk, and the evolution (or devolution) of WWE and AEW, debating the loss of kayfabe, standout talents like MJF and LA Knight, and whether modern wrestling stacks up to the Attitude Era. The conversation pivots to serious territory with updates on Mississippi politics, including the Glacier Act (Senate Bill 2329) aimed at funding local law enforcement to assist ICE, and a passionate discussion on the newly released Epstein files—questioning timing, accountability, and the dangers of "Epstein Derangement Syndrome" amid Trump-era revelations.   Clay also covers a controversial Jackson mass shooting case, Super Bowl predictions (Seahawks vs. Patriots), NFL gripes, and local events like the Guns N' Roses tribute at Martin's Downtown.

In this eye-opening interview, Clay sits down with Michael Jones, owner of Helping Hand Family Pharmacy in Vicksburg, to expose the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) "racket" that's devastating independent pharmacies across Mississippi. Michael breaks down how PBMs—middlemen like Express Scripts (Cigna), CVS Caremark, and Optum (UnitedHealth)—started as claim consolidators but evolved into profit machines through spread pricing, manufacturer rebates, and vertical integration, forcing locals to sell meds below cost and leading to widespread closures.   He shares his fight's origin: Post-COVID reimbursement drops hit hard, shuttering stores like People's Drugstore, creating "drug deserts." Michael dug into campaign finances, uncovering PBM-linked donors influencing lawmakers, and went public—posting at his store and on social media—to rally customers. A Mississippi audit revealed Optum paying affiliates 20x more than independents, while PBM profits soar into billions.   Urgent action: Support House Bill 1672 (State Affairs Committee) and Senate Bill 2575 (Public Health and Welfare)—bills must exit committee by February 3. Michael urges calls to the Capitol switchboard at (601) 359-3770 to demand fair reforms. Last year's near-win died at the eleventh hour; don't let it happen again. This is a battle for community businesses—stand up before independents vanish!

In the action-packed third hour, Clay teams up with co-host Andrew Gasser (all Gasser, no breaks) for a no-holds-barred breakdown of the explosive Epstein files dropped Friday. They unpack mentions of heavy hitters like Trump (denying involvement despite over 1,000 references), Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Gates (allegedly catching an STD from underage Russian girls), Elon Musk, and more, questioning FBI delays, global conspiracies, and the lack of prosecutions. The duo calls out the elite's protection racket and ties it to Pizzagate's eerie validation.   Shifting to election integrity, they dissect Fulton County's alleged 325,000 invalid Biden votes—potentially flipping Georgia and the 2020 presidency—demanding accountability for laws passed under a "bogus" administration, including judges like Ketanji Brown Jackson.   Clay and Andrew pivot to recent ICE confrontations, slamming white liberals' "suicide by cop" antics and debating Second Amendment responsibility: don't pack heat at volatile protests or insert yourself into police stops. They stress common sense, consequences, and de-escalation, with listener calls like Lacey's on interference pitfalls. Plus, Andrew shares farm life updates amid the madness.   Raw, unfiltered analysis on corruption, justice, and cultural decay—don't miss this fiery hour!

Clay dives into a wild "FAFO" (F*** Around and Find Out) incident in Madison, Mississippi, where brothers Donta "Demon" Palmer (yes, that's his real middle name) and Darius Palmer led police on a chase in a stolen Challenger. The duo allegedly tried to run over officers, leading to shots fired, arrests, and sky-high bonds—$2.25 million for Donta on charges like aggravated assault on law enforcement and felony fleeing. Clay uncovers the Palmers' ties to a notorious Central Mississippi crime family: Donta's dad, Derek Coleman, was killed in a shootout and suspected in his wife's disappearance; his half-brother was indicted (but acquitted) for murdering a Hinds County deputy. Clay warns this thug won't get Hinds County's lenient treatment in Madison—it's time for real justice.   Shifting to accountability, Clay blasts Attorney General Lynn Fitch for acting like a "George Soros-funded DA," prosecuting law enforcement officers who defend themselves against suspects trying to run them over. He references her indicting former Capitol Police officers for ventilating a drug-dealing suspect in a pursuit, questioning how she reconciles this with supporting ICE agents in similar cases. Clay vows to hammer this if Fitch runs for governor, arguing her approach risks "dead cops" hesitating in life-or-death moments and erodes trust in law enforcement.

Guests Robert Jordan of Corner Pharmacy in Flowood and Michael Jones of Helping Hand Family Pharmacy in Vicksburg join to explain how big chains are squeezing out locals through unfair pricing and vertical integration. They discuss key bills—House Bill 1672 and Senate Bill 2575—and urge listeners to contact legislators before the February 3 committee deadline to support protections for community businesses.   In hour three, Clay teams up with Andrew Gasser for a deep dive into the newly released Epstein files, unpacking mentions of high-profile figures like Trump, Clinton, Gates, Musk, and others, while questioning the FBI's delays and global implications.   Tune in for unfiltered talk on corruption, justice, and standing up for Mississippi's small businesses.

Clay and Fred speculate on potential foreign ties (Venezuela? China?) and celebrate the momentum, even floating a bold "Trump 2028" reclaim.   Shifting to local streets, they break down Rep. Shonda Yates' bill to seize vehicles in drag racing busts. As fellow reformed South Jackson car guys, they support hitting organized chaos—like trailer queens flipping on Medgar Evers—while protecting casual enthusiasts from overreach. No more shutting down city blocks for high-stakes bets; it's time for real teeth in enforcement, inspired by JPD and Capitol PD feedback.   Finally, Fred draws from his 30 years as a pharmacist to expose the PBM racket—pharmacy benefit managers owned by big insurers and chains like CVS, clawing back millions and forcing independents to close. They call for transparency and reform to save community lifelines that sponsor Little Leagues, deliver midnight meds, and beat big-box prices. Listeners: Contact your reps to push PBM changes before independents vanish.   Unfiltered insights on accountability, street safety, and small-business survival—straight talk from two Mississippi originals.

In this breaking-news segment from The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards gleefully dives into Don Lemon's early Friday arrest by federal agents under the FACE Act (dubbed the "KKK Act" with a modern spin) for his role in a church protest in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Clay mocks the former CNN anchor—calling him "Lemonhead"—for allegedly storming a church like the "beaches of Normandy" around MLK Day, charging him with conspiracy to deprive rights while claiming he was just "reporting." Pulling from liberal outlets like Daily Beast (for those "liberal tears") and Fox News, Clay contrasts Lemon's defense with his own take: this wasn't journalism; Lemon was complicit, like an accessory in a bank robbery getaway car.   Tying it to "consequence culture" replacing cancel culture, Clay celebrates the shift—Democrats facing repercussions after years without—and links it to recent events like Alex Preddy's case, urging patience as justice unfolds slowly but surely. He warns against media hype suggesting losses for Trump allies, affirming "we're winning" with mugshots and perp walks ahead for Lemon. The rant pivots to commending everyday black folks for avoiding white liberal protests, avoiding becoming "human sacrifices" to spark another George Floyd-style uprising, as liberals crave racial division to fuel their narratives.   Raw, satirical takes on media bias, accountability, and staying out of the fray—essential listening for fans of unfiltered political commentary.

He recounts personal stories from Chicago and California, where schools and aid meant for struggling African Americans are redirected, forcing some to consider desperate measures like posing as immigrants for help.   The discussion dives into the internal conflict: criticizing Democrats feels taboo due to party allegiance, yet Republicans' policies could benefit all Americans. The caller praises the show for addressing these truths and urges prayer for "black America" to wake up, warning of media-driven divisions reminiscent of "Nazi Germany." He notes the backlash faced by figures like Nicki Minaj for supporting Trump and calls for equal enforcement of laws, regardless of race or politics.   Clay commends black communities for avoiding white liberal protests and emphasizes unity against manipulation. A must-listen for unfiltered talk on race, politics, and the immigrant debate—straight from a caller's perspective.

In this focused segment from The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards tackles the hot-button issue of Jackson State University's push for a new football stadium. JSU is requesting about $40 million from the state for a "big old shiny castle on a hill," but Clay questions whether taxpayers should foot the bill when other schools like Mississippi State and Ole Miss raise their own funds through alumni donations and expansions.   Diving into the numbers, Clay reveals that JSU reported zero dollars in athletic donations for 2022—despite it being their most successful year under Deion Sanders, with sold-out games, national attention, and a SWAC championship. He argues for accountability: if fans and alumni aren't contributing, why should the state? While acknowledging the benefits of relocating from the current off-campus site (which could aid UMMC's expansion into a medical corridor), Clay insists any new stadium must be on-campus for the full college experience, not out in a remote area.   Clay shares honest takes on the surrounding neighborhoods, emphasizing common-sense solutions like fundraisers and master plans to generate revenue rather than relying on public money. Listener texts chime in, highlighting JSU's high FCS attendance but stressing the need for fiscal responsibility—comparing it to Ole Miss and Mississippi State's self-funded projects. Is $40 million worth it, or should JSU tighten the belt and rally its base? Clay calls it straight: without commitment, they might as well play in a high school stadium.   Raw, unfiltered debate on local accountability, HBCU pride, and taxpayer dollars—perfect for fans of no-nonsense Mississippi talk.

He questions taxpayer funding without community commitment, suggesting fundraisers and master plans as alternatives.   Shifting gears, Clay discusses a proposed bill by Rep.

Critiquing the outdated notion of "crossing the aisle," Edwards argues Democrats would never reciprocate and calls for unyielding resistance, even suggesting a metaphorical "right cross" instead of bipartisanship. He highlights media efforts to rewrite history, portraying Trump as a Nazi and MAGA as racist, and emphasizes drowning out the noise to focus on core issues like immigration enforcement and election integrity. Edwards points to recent setbacks for Democrats, including revelations about Alex Pretti's aggressive behavior and evidence of 2020 election fraud in Fulton County, declaring it a "bad day to be a Democrat."

The hosts argue that carrying a gun at protests requires responsibility and that Prady's actions led to foreseeable consequences. Broader political topics include election fraud allegations in Fulton County, Georgia, and Minnesota's laws allowing non-citizens to obtain driver's licenses that enable voting, skewing results in blue cities.   Edwards touches on personal fitness and mental clarity from lifestyle changes, then pivots to insurance advice, stressing the importance of proper coverage for valuables, renters' policies, and business needs amid volatile rates and storm damage.
