The Clay Edwards Show

The majority black Philadelphia, Mississippi with a history of racism that can match any other city in America (Mississippi Burning was about Neshoba county), flipped from majority Democrat to majority Republican. Former Democrat and current SEC. of the Neshoba County GOP, Shuwaski Young calls in to discuss and tell us how they pulled off the huge victory we're dubbing the Neshoba Shocker!!

Ryshondra Harper Beechem’s loss in Pelahatchie triggered her to make a bunch of Facebook post accusing the entire city of being racist for not voting for her.

In a vibrant radio broadcast, host Clay Edwards delivers a candid take on recent Mississippi elections. Live from the Men's Health and Women's Wellness Studios, Edwards dives into the surprising Republican sweep in Philadelphia, Mississippi, a majority-Black city. He credits Shawaski Young, a former Democrat turned Republican, for mobilizing voters, leading to a GOP mayor and nearly all aldermen positions won. Edwards marvels at this shift in a city with deep racial history, suggesting it could be a blueprint for other rural areas. He also celebrates Jake Windom’s re-election as Pearl’s mayor, praising visible improvements like revamped shopping centers. Discussing Jackson’s elections, Edwards notes John Horne’s victory over Chokwe Antar Lumumba, expressing hope that Horne’s leadership will stabilize the city by simply avoiding past mistakes. He critiques Lumumba’s tenure, alleging corruption and mismanagement, and dismisses pardon rumors tied to a similar Cincinnati case. Edwards also addresses Ryshunda Harper Beachem’s loss in Pelahatchie, condemning her racism claims as unfair, citing universal political hostility. Throughout, he urges listeners to engage via calls and texts, fostering a lively community dialogue.

Listen to how a local mechanic with the same name as another well respected local mechanic and business owner became our first DEI winner of the FAFO championship.

Gluckstadt Police Dept. chased a thug into the criminal safe haven of Canton, Mississippi where they eventually caught him and officially crowned him the FAFO Champion, and with a name like his that has 5 vowels in it we're positive that this won't be the last time we hear about this guy!!

In a lively June 3, 2025, interview on The Clay Edwards Show, Zach Servis, an independent candidate for Jackson, Mississippi’s mayor, pitched his transformative vision on election day. Speaking with raw conviction, Servis urged voters to back him for a fundamental overhaul of the city’s mismanaged, corrupt administration. He highlighted decades of poor decision-making and recent theft by officials, positioning himself as a trustworthy outsider who’s never lied to voters. Servis touted his track record of exposing issues, like revealing a hidden deputy public works director, proving his impact without mayoral power. He promised accountability, readiness to act on day one, and a no-nonsense approach to governance, vowing to reassign or oust underperforming officials. Addressing prison labor, Servis revealed he’d already proposed a community service ordinance to pay off misdemeanors, which Mayor Lumumba delayed but later adopted. His candid, unfiltered style and commitment to transparency earned host Clay Edwards’ respect, who predicted Servis could siphon votes from frontrunner John Horhn, potentially swinging the race. Servis’ bold, anti-establishment rhetoric and focus on systemic change resonated as a call to disrupt Jackson’s stagnant politics. 

In a viral, unfiltered rant, a local radio host recounts a hilarious yet ironic moment when Facebook boosted his post featuring a "Black Votes Matter" tour bus parked in Fondren, Mississippi’s whitest neighborhood. The algorithm, mistaking his sarcastic commentary for high-quality, progressive content, amplified his reach, sparking a chuckle. The host mocks the bus’s bold "We fight back" slogan, tying it to recent videos of chaotic restaurant brawls, hinting at a conspiracy of dine-and-dash schemes. He critiques the campaign’s strategy, questioning its impact in a predominantly white area, and draws parallels to past social movements led by unlikely allies. Shifting gears, he exposes restaurant industry shifts, like pre-pay systems, as a response to cultural trends of exploiting complaints for free meals.
