- Granddaughter of civil rights activist killed in Jackson shootingKarah Perkins-Potter Shooting – The Clay Edwards Show, Episode 1,010I’m gutted to share the tragic news of Karah Perkins-Potter’s death, a 23-year-old woman shot and killed at a Fast Fuel gas station on Northside Drive in Jackson, Mississippi, on Sunday morning, June 22, 2025. As the granddaughter of a local civil rights activist, Karah’s loss hits deep. According to her family, she was trying to protect a friend from an alleged domestic violence situation when the friend’s boyfriend, Phillip Bullock, showed up. I’m told Karah stepped in, urging her friend to leave with her instead of the boyfriend, who reportedly grew enraged. A tussle followed, and Bullock allegedly shot Karah in the head, killing her.This senseless act infuriates me—what kind of weak man shoots a young woman trying to help someone? I see it as pure culture rot, a failure to control emotions that’s tearing at Jackson’s soul. Karah was intelligent, selfless, and had a bright future, checking all the same boxes as a young lady I interviewed just a day before, who I prayed would avoid this exact kind of violence. Capitol Police have made an arrest, and Bullock, who lives two doors down from Karah, is out on bail, which her family finds outrageous. I’m skeptical of the “civil rights leader” label thrown around—nobody’s civil rights are in jeopardy in 2025 except maybe conservative straight men—but that doesn’t diminish the tragedy. My heart goes out to Karah’s parents, Joni and her father, who are reeling from this loss. I’m calling for the community to reflect and address the violence within, as it’s always the same folks causing the pain.7 min
- KAYLA SMITH WRECK UPDATE W/ NEW DETAILSKayla Smith Accident Update – The Clay Edwards Show, Episode 1,010In this episode, I set the record straight on the tragic death of Kayla Smith, a 26-year-old mother killed on Interstate 220 in Jackson, Mississippi, after a devastating sequence of events. Initially, I got some details wrong, and I’m owning that. Here’s what happened, based on information from Kayla’s family and my own review of the evidence. Kayla suffered a tire blowout, causing her to crash into the guardrail on I-220 near Watkins. She called 911 multiple times and her mom, taking photos of the scene while waiting for help. Her car was still partially on the road. Tragically, another vehicle—driven by someone the family refers to as “Lala”—struck Kayla’s car, which then hit Kayla and her young son. Kayla died at the scene, and her son was thrown a significant distance, suffering severe injuries, including at least one broken leg.I’m heartbroken for Kayla, who I’ve learned was a selfless woman, always putting others first. She and her son were coming from a friend’s house, gathering items for a fundraiser to help a family member with cancer. Her son wasn’t even supposed to be with her—he’d decided at the last minute to go home instead of staying for vacation Bible school. The photos Kayla took before the fatal impact show her car facing one direction; post-accident images show it shifted, confirming the collision.What infuriates me is the failure of Jackson’s 911 system. Kayla’s mom, coming from Raymond, beat first responders to the scene. I can’t stop thinking about whether blue lights or paramedics could’ve prevented this if they’d arrived sooner. Could they have secured the area, keeping that second car from hitting Kayla’s? I believe so, and it’s a gut punch. There’s been talk of a third vehicle or a hit-and-run, but I don’t buy it—sounds like confusion or deflection. The evidence points to Lala’s car hitting Kayla’s, causing the tragedy.I’m skeptical of claims about police laughing at the scene; that feels like a stretch, even with JPD’s issues. My focus is on the 911 breakdown, which I lay at the feet of Jackson’s leadership. Kayla’s family deserves answers, and I hope they pursue justice against the city. This loss—an angel on Earth, raising money for others, gone in an instant—has shaken our community. My prayers are with her son, her parents, and everyone mourning her. I’ll keep you updated as more comes to light.13 min
- FAFO FRIDAY - FULL SHOW (Ep #1,010)Podcast Description: The Clay Edwards Show, Episode 1,010 – My Unfiltered Take on Reality RadioWelcome to the 1,010th episode of The Clay Edwards Show, where I, Clay Edwards, bring you my raw, unfiltered perspective live from the Men’s Health and Women’s Wellness Studio on 103.9 FM WYAB in Mississippi. I’m streaming worldwide on Facebook, X, YouTube, Rumble, wyab.com, TuneIn, and Alexa, delivering what I believe is the most incendiary dose of reality radio out there. This episode is personal, intense, and packed with my thoughts on the chaos around me, from local crises to mental health struggles, all served up with my no-holds-barred style.I kick things off diving headfirst into the madness I’m seeing in Rankin County—a place I’m convinced is grappling with a full-blown mental health crisis. I’m talking about folks acting wild, blowing whistles, getting arrested multiple times in a single day, and seemingly chasing notoriety by clashing with law enforcement. I connect this to the fallout from the “goon squad” case, where I see ripple effects driving some to bizarre lengths, almost like they’re trying to manifest police brutality for fame or a payday. It’s mind-boggling to me, and I’m calling it out—some of these people need serious help, not a platform.This ties into a bigger issue close to my heart, especially since it’s Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. I get personal, sharing my own run-ins with disruptive individuals, including one I had to press charges against recently. I’m done ignoring these clowns who keep pushing into my life, and I’m urging their loved ones to stop enabling them. I’m blunt: if someone’s acting crazy, tell them to check into a facility and get help. I’ve seen too many men spiraling, and I’m not afraid to say it’s time to face those demons.I also reflect on a wild story that’s been on my mind—the “Liver King,” that social media influencer who crashed and burned after his steroid and growth hormone use was exposed. I see parallels with some local figures I deal with, folks who dodge accountability and let their mental health implode. I recount how this guy’s now making unhinged videos, threatening Joe Rogan, and sporting what I’m convinced is “meth face.” It’s a cautionary tale, and I’m drawing a line to the chaos I navigate daily, warning that ignoring mental health can lead to destruction.Shifting to local tragedies, I pour my heart into correcting the record on Kayla Smith’s death on Interstate 220. I got some details wrong earlier, and I’m setting it straight: she wrecked after a blowout, called 911, and was hit by another car, killing her and injuring her son. I’m gutted by this—she was a selfless woman helping others, and I’m furious that Jackson’s 911 system failed her. Her mom got there before first responders, and I can’t help but wonder if faster action could’ve saved her. It’s a heartbreaking loss, and I’m mourning with her family.Then there’s the story of Cara Perkins-Potter, a 23-year-old shot dead at a Jackson gas station while trying to protect a friend from domestic violence. As the granddaughter of a local civil rights activist, her death hits hard. I’m enraged at the “culture rot” I see fueling this violence—weak men who can’t control their emotions. I offer my condolences but don’t hold back on calling for the community to look inward. This is exactly the kind of senseless tragedy I fear when I think about the bright young people in Jackson’s streets.I get vulnerable, too, sharing the toll this show takes on me. I’ve been at this for five years, catching flak and dealing with drama, like recent spats with local businesses that left me feeling like I had to defend myself. I’m human—I got sick, felt embarrassed, and lashed out when I shouldn’t have. I apologize for airing those grievances publicly and promise to move forward. But I also explain my headspace: sometimes, I feel like I’m everybody’s punching bag, and I’m learning when to swing back and when to let it go.Despite the heavy stuff, I keep it real with my listeners, who I’m endlessly grateful for. I’m thrilled to give away books by guest AJ Rice and family four-packs to Jackson Motor Speedway, thanks to a generous listener. I also celebrate a “FAFO Friday” moment, handing out my “F’d Around and Found Out” championship to a sexual predator sentenced to 45 years, and I give a shoutout to Rankin-Madison DA Bubba Bramlett’s office for their work.This episode is me at my most authentic—angry, reflective, and passionate about the issues hitting close to home. From mental health to Jackson’s tragedies, I’m laying it all out, hoping to spark awareness and change. Join me for a wild ride through reality radio, where I’m not afraid to call it like I see it.1 hr 23 min
