During the June 11, 2025, episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I celebrated what I presented as a major victory for President Donald Trump in the trade war with China. I shared a statement from Trump, which I said he posted on Truth Social and was quickly shared on X, announcing that a trade deal with China was finalized, pending approval from him and President Xi Jinping. I described the deal as including China supplying the U.S. with magnets and rare earth minerals upfront, with the U.S. imposing 55% tariffs on Chinese goods while China would apply 10% tariffs on American products. I emphasized that the deal allowed Chinese students to continue using U.S. colleges and universities, which I noted particularly frustrated liberals who’ve pushed against this. I gloated over the outcome, mocking critics who claimed tariffs wouldn’t work, and called it a huge win for America, saying even “rotten-ass Democrats” would benefit. I framed Trump as having earned my trust to execute his strategy, highlighting the deal as proof of his deal making prowess, and declared, “We are the champions of the world,” including China in that victory. I also read comments from listeners via the Guns & Gear text line and displayed online chats to gauge reactions, reinforcing my excitement with phrases like “so much winning.”

In a humorous segment on the June 11, 2025, episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I shared a fictional breaking news story about the cartoon character Speedy Gonzales, a Mexican mouse, being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). I described how Speedy was apprehended early that morning outside a cheese factory in El Paso, where he was working after his temporary visa expired, allegedly to support a "cheese habit." I recounted how he tried to evade ICE’s new “Mouse Unit,” which uses trained cats, by running fast and yelling in broken English, but was quickly caught. I played a clip of a staged interaction where American TV personality Dr. Phil questioned Speedy at the scene, with Speedy claiming to be a “citizen of Earth” and denying false charges of “sex crimes with children,” joking that he thought the cheese was “aged.” I noted that Speedy’s cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, was also arrested, and both were held in ICE custody pending deportation. I revealed that the anonymous tip leading to Speedy’s capture came from Sylvester the Cat, his longtime nemesis, adding that Sylvester got the “last laugh.” I used the story to inject levity, commenting that even famous cartoon characters aren’t above deportation laws.

During the June 11, 2025, episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I expressed frustration about ongoing riots in blue cities, which I compared to the 2020 protests. I described a cycle of destruction where I believe white liberals and outside agitators incite chaos, leading to Black communities looting and burning their own neighborhoods. I argued this behavior, which I tied to a lack of positive male role models and respect for authority, drives businesses away, creating “food deserts” when residents later complain about the lack of stores. I emphasized that America is exhausted with this repetitive cycle, saying, “We’re tired of it. We’re fatigued. Tired, boss. Tired.” I voiced a controversial desire for a strong military response, using the term “FAFO” (f*** around and find out) to suggest consequences for rioters, and admitted I’m not angry but almost glad to see the chaos, as it might force accountability. I clarified my issue is with the behavior, not race, but focused on what I called “culture rot” perpetuated by fatherless environments and poor choices.

In a segment of The Clay Edwards Show on June 11, 2025, I played a clip I introduced as a statement from President Donald Trump, speaking from the Oval Office. In the clip, Trump addressed ongoing riots, declaring with enthusiasm that anyone protesting or interfering with ICE operations is “officially gay big time.” He suggested rioters call their dads to confess their “alternative lifestyle as a gay communist” and mocked them, saying they might “eat a lollipop” or “decorate a bathroom” in their free time. The tone was sarcastic and provocative, using “gay” as a slur to demean the rioters. I framed the clip as a serious moment, noting its Oval Office origin, and enthusiastically supported it, saying it’s what I voted for. I also reiterated my intent to bring back terms like “gay” and “retard” on the show, clarifying they’re not aimed at LGBTQ or disabled individuals but at foolish behavior, though I acknowledged this might offend some listeners.
