BEST OF THE WEEK: MAY 12th - 16th

Tune in for a jam-packed Best of the Week episode of the Clay Edwards Show, where we dive into the hottest topics, local controversies, and personal rants with unfiltered commentary! This week, we break down President Trump’s bold executive order aiming to slash prescription drug prices by up to 80%—what does it mean for you? We also celebrate Jackson, Mississippi’s 50% drop in homicides year-over-year and debate who deserves the credit for this turnaround.

 

Clay doesn’t hold back as he tackles Jackson’s so-called “lawless” culture, arguing residents have traded safety for chaos and now want their kids in Rankin or Madison County schools. He unpacks the risks of this move and the deeper issues tied to what he calls a “cancerous death culture.” Plus, we compare two local brawls: a gun-pulling fight at Clinton’s Santa Fe Grill, where police made quick arrests, versus a chaotic Cinco de Mayo brawl at Jackson’s Margarita’s Mexican Grill, where Clay calls out JPD Chief Joseph Wade for not cracking down hard enough.

 

On a lighter note, Clay shares a hilarious rant about his name being mistaken for “Dwight” on to-go orders, and recounts a wild radio segment sparked by an Instagram algorithm gone wrong, linking a swingers party to the Diddy trial. He also opens up about his life-changing 4:30 AM wake-up routine, inspired by Cameron Haynes’ new book Undeniable, and shares how it’s already making waves in his life.

 

Clay reflects on a personal slight from the Mud Monsters, Jackson’s new baseball team, who ghosted him after offering a first-pitch opportunity, and celebrates an exclusive interview with X5 podcast host Charlie Reece and rock legend Brett Scallions (formerly of FUEL) about their new country single, “Somewhere They’ll Never Know.” Finally, Clay delivers a sobering warning about the quickest way to end up dead in Jackson.
