The Clay Edwards Show

In this heated segment from Episode #1,102 of The Clay Edwards Show on WYAB (November 17, 2025), host Clay Edwards and guest Andrew Gosser dive into the explosive "MAGA civil war" ignited by Donald Trump's public nuking of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) on Truth Social. Clay declares his allegiance to Team Trump, admitting he's never been a huge MTG fan, viewing her as a grifter whose antics lack authenticity—comparing her to Candace Owens while praising Lauren Boebert's edge.

 

The duo breaks down Trump's lengthy post withdrawing his endorsement, criticizing MTG's constant complaints, low polling for potential Senate or governor runs (around 12%), and her "far-left" shifts, like appearing on The View with "low-IQ Republican-hating anchors" and CNN to apologize for "toxic politics" and call for unity across aisles. They analyze MTG's dramatic responses, including claims of hoax pizza deliveries (pizza doxing), pipe bomb threats at her construction company, and accusations that Trump's "traitor" label is a "dog whistle" endangering her life—phrasing Clay calls straight out of the leftist playbook.

 

Speculation runs wild: Is MTG compromised with compromising photos? Has the Swamp corrupted her, like Liz Cheney or former Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh? Clay and Andrew predict a primary challenge could end her, with redistricting or self-destruction sealing the deal, as she alienates MAGA while cozying up to never-Trumpers like the Lincoln Project.

 

Don't miss this unfiltered breakdown of political betrayal, grifting, and the future of MAGA. Tune in for raw takes on accountability and resisting the left's playbook.

In this special segment from Episode #1,102 of The Clay Edwards Show on WYAB, host Clay Edwards sits down with Joseph Stodghill, owner of Martin's Downtown and Martin's Livingston, for an in-depth interview on the iconic Jackson staple.

 

Joseph shares the rich history of Martin's, founded in 1953 as a simple beer spot and deli before evolving into a beloved blue-plate lunch destination. He recounts how his family, originally in the tire business with Bickton Tire, entered the restaurant world when his father bought Martin's in 1997 from original owner Martin Lester—a close family friend. From its early locations near State Street to the current spot since the mid-1980s, Joseph's stories highlight the bar's transformation from a redneck mecca alongside Shooter's Supply and Big Ten Tires to a vibrant community hub.

 

Clay and Joseph reminisce about riding out Hurricane Katrina at Martin's, where they never lost power and served as a lifeline for locals with food, ice, and drinks amid widespread outages. They discuss the challenges of restaurant life, including consistency in dishes like fried pork chops and country-fried steak, and personal battles with addiction in the industry.

 

The conversation turns to resilience during tough times: Joseph's decision to reopen Martin's after 30 days of COVID shutdowns, facing police visits but standing firm to keep staff employed. He credits a pre-installed water filtration system for navigating Jackson's water crises without major disruption.

 

Looking forward, Joseph talks expansions at Martin's Livingston—a former church now hosting weddings, concerts, and community events like crawfish boils and mini parades. He praises the new Jackson mayor's pro-business approach, improved law enforcement collaboration, and plans for safer St. Patrick's Day parades with potential metal detectors and controlled perimeters. Exciting updates include official rodeo after-parties at Martin's Downtown both weekends.

 

Tune in for heartfelt tales of Jackson's past, present challenges, and bright future from a true local visionary. Support Martin's—try the fried or grilled pork chops today at either location!

In episode #1,101 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards is joined by Damien Donald for an unfiltered dive into current events and personal accountability. The duo kicks off with a viral TikTok story where a Kentucky woman calls conservative Baptist churches, posing as a needy mother with a crying baby, to test their compassion—revealing her ulterior motive tied to abortion debates. They critique the woman's tactics and discuss broader issues like personal responsibility in pregnancy, Plan B availability, and the cultural divide on life choices.

 

The conversation shifts to SNAP benefits fraud, spotlighting a Jefferson Davis County case where a woman was arrested for allegedly receiving over $25,000 by misreporting income. Edwards and Donald explore generational welfare dependency, the lack of positive role models, and how government programs can enable cycles of poverty without accountability.

 

They share laughs over a high-speed chase from Pearl to Jackson, where a shoplifting duo in a Chrysler 300 led police on a wild pursuit, ending in arrests for felony fleeing, shoplifting, and weapons charges. Dubbed the "F'ed Around and Found Out" champions, the story underscores consequences for criminal behavior.

 

On a deeper note, Edwards and Donald discuss their personal pillars: abortion, free speech, the Second Amendment, and faith. Donald opens up about his transformation from a life of crime, drugs, and prison to becoming a first-time homeowner and business owner, crediting discipline, self-reflection, and faith for his turnaround. They emphasize rejecting victim mentality, embracing accountability, and how small daily changes lead to profound growth.

 

The episode wraps with a defense story of a Georgia veteran who fatally shot three masked teens invading his home, sparking debate on self-defense laws and parental demands for justice. Tune in for raw talk on culture, corruption, and redemption that challenges excuses and champions hard work.

In this segment from Episode 1100 of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay dives into a viral video where a woman calls churches, including Broadmoor Baptist, pretending to need baby formula for her child. The Broadmoor rep refers her to SNAP resources instead of handing over cash, leading the caller to accuse them of lacking compassion.

 

Clay calls it out as a setup and hustle, defending the church for spotting the scam. He plays a rebuttal video from Broadmoor dated October 31—before the call—announcing a $10,000 donation to Madcap in Canton for food aid amid SNAP disruptions, plus a full November food drive at broadmoor.org/missions.

 

Is this exposing hypocrisy or real charity? Clay says the church values the hurting but won't enable bad decisions. Listen for his fiery take on accountability vs. entitlement.

In this segment from Episode 1100 of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay breaks down the closure of Jackson's iconic Bulldog Bar and Restaurant after 25 years on Ridgewood Road. The owners cited post-pandemic business decline—fewer crowds, more people ordering in, and earlier nights out—as the official reason, even donating surplus food to Stewpot Community Services.

 

But Clay calls it out: the real culprit is Jackson's urban decay turning it into a "third world hellhole." White patrons stopped showing up due to safety fears, and the bar never adapted to the shifting "modern urban demographic." He ties it to other recent exits like PetSmart and TJ Maxx relocating to Ridgeland, and Arby's on High Street shutting down.

 

Is crime and demographics killing Jackson's nightlife? Clay says yes—listen for his unfiltered take on why spots like this can't survive anymore.

In Episode 1100 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into a mix of personal rants and hot-button topics. He shares morning commute frustrations, reflects on aging and cold weather, and reignites his controversial stance that addiction isn't a disease—it's a choice rooted in accountability, not an excuse. Drawing from his own past, Clay argues that quitting cures it, unlike real illnesses like cancer or AIDS.

 

Shifting gears, Clay dissects the latest Epstein-related emails mentioning Trump, dismissing them as a "nothing sandwich" meant to smear without substance. He speculates on political motivations and insists if there was dirt, it would've surfaced years ago.

 

The show tackles local issues too: the closure of iconic Jackson spots like The Bulldog, attributing it to post-COVID shifts and urban decline, plus other business exits. A caller announces a "blackout" boycott around Thanksgiving, sparking Clay's sarcastic take on its impact.

 

Clay addresses backlash from a viral video of a woman calling churches for help, playing a rebuttal from Broadmoor Baptist showing their real efforts to aid families via food drives amid SNAP disruptions.
