The Clay Edwards Show

An anonymous complaint to the Mississippi board of nursing on the mother of Nolan Wells, Christine Wells Wonsley has been launched. Ben Crump releases a statement calling it a "distraction" and playing the victim even though the investigation is 100% justified after her racist statements about telling her kids they can't trust white people and have to move around differently when they're the minority around them. 

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay is joined in studio by Creston Birch (30-year retired law enforcement from Clinton, Mississippi) and Tommy Tatum (calling in from Montana) for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred discussion.

They break down the arrest of two members of the alleged “Neverland” sex trafficking ring in Jackson. Demerion Deontay Corse and Vidal Marcellus Bibbs appeared in municipal court on charges including sexual battery of a child and human trafficking. One is a previously convicted sex offender who had his supervision terminated early. The conversation covers the bonds set, the role of Judge Adrienne Wooten in prior cases, and the broader pattern of how these stories are handled—or ignored—by the culture.

Clay, Creston, and Tommy then dig deep into the Nolan Wells case and the ongoing media and activist onslaught. They examine the bloodlust directed at the white teens, Ben Crump’s rapid involvement and subsequent silence on other high-profile Mississippi cases (Cohen Wiley, Trey Reed), the credibility of certain audio “enhancements,” and the mother’s public behavior. The group discusses why this particular story has exploded, the three federal arrests so far for threats against the teens, and the decision by those accused to push back legally.

Later, the conversation shifts to transgender athletes and the WNBA. They react to the push for French player Julie Tetart (a biological male who has dominated overseas) to join the league, Clay Travis’s provocative $10 million challenge and expansion team idea, Sophie Cunningham’s comments, and Mississippi’s legislative efforts to keep men out of women’s sports. The hypocrisy of pro-trans advocacy colliding with limited roster spots is laid out plainly.

As always, the show sticks to verified reports, court records, and patterns that keep repeating. Straight talk on crime, race hustling, media double standards, and the defense of women’s sports—no filter.

Clay and Creston open with the surging legal fundraiser for Nolan Wells’ targeted friends. The original $100,000 goal was obliterated in days—$120,000 already raised and climbing toward $200,000 (and beyond) so the group can retain serious counsel, including the high-powered attorney who just delivered massive wins for Donald Trump. The point is straightforward: match the other side’s funding machine instead of letting Ben Crump and the media narrative steamroll the case.

The conversation then shifts to the WNBA culture war. Sophie Cunningham continues refusing to back down on men in women’s sports while Golden State Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase openly embraces “trans women” in the league under the banner of inclusivity and authentic self. Clay lays out why biology is decisive after male puberty, discusses Clay Travis’s multimillion-dollar challenge (high-school boys or a team of biological males identifying as women versus WNBA talent), and explains the job-security angle for mid-tier players who stay silent.

A raw playground video surfaces next: a mother coaching and filming her young son as he confronts and berates a white child, framed online as a “MAGA kid” meeting a “young Panther.” Clay calls it pure culture rot—adults manufacturing racial hostility in eight-year-olds—and contrasts it with the selective outrage machine.

The hour also covers a Jackson case that received none of the usual national attention: a teenager (14 at the time of the crime) pleading guilty to the 2021 kidnapping, rape, and murder of a 33-year-old Black woman. Details are grim. The absence of Ben Crump, marches, or sustained media pressure is noted as the predictable double standard.

Unfiltered talk on media bias, race-baiting incentives, Section 230 double-dealing, and the broader culture-rot problem that treats some victims as useful and others as inconvenient. No gloves, no softening.

🚨BREAKING🚨

WE'RE SUING BEN CRUMP & HEAR DEATH THREATS FROM NOLAN WELLS CREW (Ep #1,266)

Insurance agent Jamie Creel sits in with myself & Creston Berch this morning to discuss the boat owners potential exposure to lawsuits in the fallout of the Nolan Wells case. 

**Episode #1264 – The Clay Edwards Show**

It’s an interesting time to be alive, and the pressure is on. Coordinated efforts continue to silence voices willing to talk openly about what’s happening in Jackson and beyond. After another round of account restrictions and pressure campaigns, the conversation turns to staying cancel-resistant through diversification and refusing to back down from stating facts.

The bulk of the episode digs into the Nolan Wells case and the online free-for-all surrounding it. Internet sleuths and content creators have leveled serious accusations, posted personal details including home locations, and built narratives around photos and motives that don’t hold up. Attorney Russ Latino has begun serving cease-and-desist notices and is preparing defamation actions, starting with influencer Kimbra Lee. The discussion examines why “allegedly” doesn’t provide cover when people are accused of murder without charges, why exposing private residences crosses a line, and how quickly false stories about high-school photos and supposed motives spread.

Rumors about a potential toxicology report—possible cocaine and fentanyl involvement—are addressed carefully. No accusations are made against Nolan Wells himself. The point is simple: if those reports prove accurate, they could reshape understanding of what happened that night without turning into character assassination of an 18-year-old.

A moment of respect is given to Lance Tolbert of Super Talk Mississippi, who passed away at 52. The radio community is small, and the loss is felt.

The back half of the show shifts into culture, personal history, and accountability. Long-term effects of certain music and messaging, the slow personal shift away from that lifestyle, the role of consistent positive input (including past influence from voices like Joel Osteen during a rebuilding period), and the difference between calling out destructive behavior and hate are all on the table. The host pushes back against the idea that demanding better from people—wanting less killing and more responsibility—is somehow sinful or “negative.”

Raw, direct, and focused on facts over feelings. No sugarcoating, no retreat.

**The Clay Edwards Show – Episode Summary**

Unfiltered talk on the current state of America, the “panicins” who suddenly regret their Trump vote, and the dangerous culture of online speculation surrounding the Nolan Wells case.

Clay opens by challenging the people who claim buyer’s remorse over Donald Trump. He runs through the record of the previous administration—open borders, catch-and-release, DEI mandates across government and the military, energy policies that treated American oil and gas as the enemy, vaccine mandates, endless foreign spending while American cities burned, two-tier justice, and the weaponization of institutions—and asks a simple question: Are you really ready for four more years of that? Guests Creston Birch and Tommy Tatum weigh in on why the border alone, the deportation priority, the DEI purge, the energy emergency, and the restoration of basic competence outweigh the latest grievances about Iran, Israel, or the Epstein files.

The conversation then turns to the Nolan Wells case and the broader cultural problem it exposes. Clay pushes back against the immediate race narrative that exploded online, the doctored audio, the fake photos, the family trees of people who simply happened to be on a boat, and the review-bombing of private businesses. He argues that the same voices obsessed with this case go silent on the constant Black-on-Black violence in Jackson and elsewhere, that culture—not “systemic” excuses—drives outcomes, and that inventing hate crimes and defaming private citizens for clicks is both reckless and about to carry real consequences. A caller tries to demand “positive” talking points about Black culture; Clay refuses the premise and points instead to accountability, fatherlessness, and the glorification of thug life that the culture itself markets.

Later, news breaks that attorney Russell Latino has been retained by one of the families of the young men being falsely accused. Formal statements and the first defamation lawsuits are coming. Private investigators are already identifying people who manufactured and spread lies that have already generated credible death threats. Clay and Creston discuss why journalistic restraint still matters even on independent platforms, why “allegedly” and “people are saying” do not protect you, and why the online mob that treats real people’s lives as content is about to learn an expensive lesson.

No sugar. No sacred cows. Just the raw conversation.

**The Truth About Why Black Boys Are Being Killed With Their White Friends**

Clay Edwards is joined by Creston Birch, a recently retired 30-year Clinton Police Department veteran, for a raw discussion sparked by a recent incident outside a Flowood Whataburger. Around 1:30 a.m., a group of mostly white teenagers included one Black teen who pointed what turned out to be a realistic toy gun at a white girl’s head. A bystander confronted them and called police. Officers arrived to little consequence, and a detective later told the caller that Flowood gets 10–15 similar calls a week involving kids with realistic toy or airsoft guns.

Clay shares his own earlier experience witnessing a similar scene in Ridgeland and warns that these look-alike guns create split-second, life-or-death decisions for bystanders and police alike—especially in Rankin and Madison counties. Creston recounts nearly shooting a 14-year-old over a plastic cap gun that fell from a waistband during a late-night stop. The pair walk through documented cases in which children (including Tamir Rice, Andy Lopez, Tyree King and others) were fatally shot after officers or others mistook realistic replicas for real firearms.

The conversation expands into parental responsibility, the refusal of many parents to treat the behavior seriously, racial double standards in how these stories are framed, and the broader pattern of crime and cultural accountability in the Jackson metro area. Clay challenges the narrative that race is irrelevant until a Black child is the one shot, and both hosts stress that pointing any gun—real or toy—at another person in public is an act that invites deadly force.

Later segments include the 1973 kidnapping of J. Paul Getty III and his grandfather’s refusal to pay ransom until an ear was mailed, Clay’s recent meeting with UFC legend Matt Hughes, the enduring story of Gary Plauche (the Baton Rouge father who shot his son’s kidnapper and molester at the airport), the three-year anniversary of Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town,” a VladTV poll ranking the “most hated” groups in America, and Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite’s aggressive mini-blind and code-enforcement push.

No commercials, station IDs, or streaming mentions. Just the conversation.

**Episode #1261 – The Clay Edwards Show with Creston Berch**

More testosterone for your morning drive. Clay and Creston Berch open with steak talk (patio cuts vs. ribeye, air-fryer cubes, meal prep, and a shout-out to Grills of Mississippi for getting the pellet smoker fixed), then hit the 39th annual Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza in Pearl this weekend—kids free, adults $10 throwback pricing—while noting the competing event at the fairgrounds and the old backwater/pump rift that caused the split.

They dig into the data-center push around Jackson and Lake Hico: the deal is done, the six-month “moratorium” is about minority set-asides and political cutouts, electrical and HVAC trades are about to cash in for years, and Fred Shanks nails the real choice—American control of the AI race or Chinese control. No conspiracy required.

Main segment: Sophie Cunningham’s ESPN interview standing up for biological women and girls in sports, the quiet history of a female-to-male player already in the WNBA, Brittney Griner speculation, Magic Johnson’s son as the ultimate “what if,” and why Clay thinks the league that pushed every social-justice fad deserves the FAFO of actual men taking roster spots. Bonus: the USA Today columnist who dragged Emmett Till into a Caitlin Clark complaint and had to walk it back.

Derek calls in on the Nolan Wells case—boat culture, bilge pumps, planing out, and why people who’ve never been on a small pleasure boat keep spreading nonsense. Quick recommendation for Chris Williamson’s interview with Annie Jacobsen on the first six days of a bioweapon outbreak. Berry’s Seafood ends its free birthday buffet (culture and tipping are the reason). Closing open-mic on Black Lives Matter’s “Black people are tired” post—wrong answers only—plus the usual culture-rot notes on public-space respect, speaker-phone etiquette, and why claiming everything is racism means nothing is.
