The Clay Edwards Show

State Representative Fred Shanks joins the show with breaking news out of the Capitol — a bold new plan to fix the ongoing Mississippi ABC liquor delivery backlog once and for all, including the possibility of temporary privatization that could let stores and restaurants source product directly from distributors.

In this fiery on-air debate, Clay defends Mississippi’s new NIL income-tax exemption for college athletes, calling it a no-brainer move to stay competitive. He breaks down the numbers — the state would only lose $2–4 million in revenue (pocket change), athletes will spend every dime locally anyway, and we’re already going up against no-income-tax powerhouses like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee for five-star recruits. Clay doesn’t sugarcoat it: some of the outrage feels like straight-up jealousy toward these young guys getting paid.

 

Caller Jerry fires right back. He’s not mad about the tax break itself (he flat-out calls income tax theft), but he’s pissed about how it went down — rammed through at the last minute “under cover of darkness” with zero public debate, no message-board buzz, and no transparency. He warns it sets a dangerous precedent and wants answers on who really pushed it and why the rush.

 

No screaming, no gotcha moments — just two guys going at it with facts, logic, and zero filter. Classic Clay Edwards Show debate that cuts straight to the heart of the issue.

Dr. Michael Walker from Men’s Health of Mississippi breaks down the TRT boom, the hidden dangers of telehealth testosterone, and why getting your levels checked locally with real lab monitoring and full health oversight makes all the difference.

On this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, we dive into the exploding “male economy” — the surge in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), the booming fitness industry, and the skyrocketing popularity of mobile sports betting. Why are men suddenly obsessed with getting stronger, sharper, and more driven? Clay breaks down his theory: after years of cultural pressure, men are finally pushing back and wanting to be men again.

We also react to major political shake-ups in Texas: Jasmine Crockett’s stunning primary loss (complete with her “Black girl magic” campaign ad and fiery concession speech), plus the high-stakes runoff between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn. Clay weighs in on why personal scandals don’t matter when results do.

We touch on the failed Sunday liquor sales bill, the new NIL income-tax exemption for college athletes, and what it all means for Mississippi. Buckle up — this one is unfiltered, unapologetic, and packed with the conversations nobody else is having.

Clay Edwards is joined by Andrew Gasser for a no-holds-barred breakdown of the newly released four-and-a-half-hour Bill and Hillary Clinton deposition in the Epstein files.

 

Bill Clinton clears Donald Trump, drops a bombshell about his first Epstein Island trip being with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and his wife, and sounds exhausted while trying to play contrite. Hillary, by contrast, throws full girl-boss tantrums and gets exposed in classic fashion. The guys react to the “devil mask” moment, dissect why Bill threw Trump the pardon olive branch, and explain what Frazzle Drip actually is (yes, they go there).

 

Andrew and Clay also tackle the bigger picture: why single-issue Epstein voters are ready to burn everything down, Pam Bondi’s lack of urgency, the collapse of trust in institutions, and why abandoning Trump or sitting out the midterms over this would hand the left exactly what they want.

In this explosive episode, Clay kicks things off with a wild “Only in Jackson” story that perfectly captures the chaos: a man in a wheelchair is struck by two separate cars, both drivers uninsured, leading to his death. Clay breaks down what this says about local realities and why maxed-out insurance isn’t optional in Mississippi.

 

Caller Chris Hinkle sparks a heated debate on the new NIL tax exemption for college athletes. Clay and Chris compare it to the state’s $5,000 teacher pay raises and the slow-walked income-tax elimination, questioning where Mississippi’s true priorities lie—education or SEC competitiveness?

 

Next, the feds file a motion to move the massive Jackson bribery trial out of Hinds County or dramatically expand the jury pool. Clay explains why prosecutors are worried about sympathetic jurors and what it means for DA Jody Owens, former Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, and ex-councilman Aaron Banks.

 

The second hour features guest Andrew Gasser for a no-holds-barred deep dive into the newly released four-and-a-half-hour Clinton deposition in the Epstein files. Bill Clinton clears Trump, drops bombshell travel details, and the pair dissect Hillary’s reactions, the “Frazzle Drip” questions, single-issue voters, and why real accountability still matters more than ever.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives deep into the controversial appointment of Dr. RaShall Brackney as Jackson, Mississippi's new police chief. Clay pulls no punches, predicting her tenure will erupt into a "five-alarm woke dumpster fire" before the year ends, citing her past in Charlottesville, Virginia—where she was fired amid low morale, leadership clashes, and accusations of ruling with an "iron fist." He breaks down criticisms of her reforms, like disbanding SWAT and narcotics units, her wrongful termination lawsuit alleging discrimination, and her perceived softness on crime, including calling gangs "social clubs" and focusing on "joy" in policing over aggressive tactics.

 

Clay also riffs on broader political chaos: Democrats' reactions to the State of the Union, their stance on immigration and "illegal aliens," and ironic defenses of certain files while shielding others. He touches on "woke" language shifts, brain drain in Mississippi, and the need for head-busting law enforcement in Jackson rather than hugs for thugs. Listener calls and texts add fuel to the fire, debating her credentials, JPD's dire state (including stripped patrol cars and officers unable to testify), and why Capitol Police might clash with her vision!
