In a fiery, nearly 90-minute impromptu livestream from the Men's Health Mississippi studios, conservative Jackson radio host and social media personality Clay Edwards delivered a wide-ranging, unfiltered rant touching on local corruption, free speech hypocrisy, cultural decay, and several personal scores he’s been waiting to settle.
Edwards opened by praising the Jackson City Council’s newly passed ordinance banning city employees from having any relationships or business dealings with known drug dealers. Introduced by Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes and passing 6-0 (with one abstention), the measure was portrayed by Edwards as proof that Jackson has finally reached rock-bottom: “If your city has to pass a law telling its own employees ‘don’t hang out with dope boys,’ it’s probably too late.” He tied the policy directly to decades of entrenched corruption in JPD, the DA’s office, and city hall under previous administrations (especially the Lumumba era), citing stories of dirty cops escorting drug runs, DAs hiring dealers’ relatives, and politicians co-owning nightclubs that everyone knows are money-laundering fronts. While calling the ordinance “ridiculous on its face,” he gave rare credit to the current council and Mayor John Horn for finally “adulting” and trying to clean house.
He then pivoted to Rankin County controversies, strongly opposing the Brandon “street preachers” (Gabriel Olivier and similar groups) whose Supreme Court case is now pending. Edwards, despite being a conservative Christian, ripped them as provocateurs who scream “Jezebel,” “drunkard,” and other fighting words at women and families just to bait assaults, sue, and play victim. He compared them to First Amendment auditors and local agitators who wear Foot Locker jerseys while baiting cops and citizens for payouts, insisting “this isn’t preaching the Gospel; it’s hate-speech grift.”
The stream took a personal turn when Edwards addressed rumors that local activist outlets are about to interview his ex-wife (whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly four years) in an obvious attempt to dig up dirt. He laughed it off, showed side-by-side photos of himself at his heaviest and most miserable during that marriage versus his current healthy self, and warned that if lies are platformed, he’ll “uncork everything” about her alcoholism, rehab stints, and destructive behavior. He framed it as proof he’s lived openly about his past mistakes and has nothing left to hide.
Other quick hits:
-Called out vulgar, sexual Christmas merchandise openly displayed at Northpark Mall (“Jolly as fuck,” pierced mannequin breasts, dick-shaped gingerbread “eat me” ornaments) right by the kids’ ride area as more evidence of nationwide cultural rot.
-Accused Lane Kiffin of straight-up lying about Ole Miss fans trying to run him off the road on his way to the airport; Mississippi Highway Patrol confirmed they gave him an uneventful escort the entire way.
-Gave continued (grudging) props to new Mayor John Horn for not playing identity-politics games and focusing on basic governance, while begging retired public-works veterans to return as consultants to restore institutional knowledge lost under the previous administration.
Throughout, Edwards plugged his radio show (WYAB 103.9 FM, 7-9 a.m. weekdays), his “FAFO” merchandise, and free testosterone screenings at Men’s Health Mississippi (text CLAY to 601-800-5130), repeatedly thanking viewers for super chats and engagement.
The stream was vintage Clay: profane, confrontational, self-deprecating, and packed with insider Jackson gossip, all delivered while he fought through chest inflammation and steroids, promising an even longer breakdown of many of these stories on his regular morning radio slot.
