**Episode 1270 – FAFO Friday with Creston Berch** It’s FAFO Friday and Clay is wearing pink on purpose. Clay and Creston open with the long-running fight against the “Trans Kids Belong” messaging, revisiting the billboard Clay replaced years ago near Bass Pro in Pearl and reacting to Stephen A. Smith finally breaking ranks on a WNBA coach who wore the same slogan during a game against the Indiana Fever. They make clear where they stand: adults can live however they want, but kids are off-limits and biological reality is not optional. The conversation shifts to the Madison Brooks case. The 19-year-old LSU student was gang-raped, dumped on the interstate, and killed by a vehicle. Her family and supporters asked to wear pink in court; the defense tried to ban it. The judge allowed plain pink clothing. Clay explains why he’s wearing a pink FAFO shirt today and questions the judge’s history involving her own son. They dig into the newly public records on Christine Wansley (Nolan Wells’ mother). Documents show she lost custody of her three older children to their father, James Briscoe, in 2007–2008, was ordered to pay child support, and later saw temporary custody efforts fail before the case ended in shared custody. Clay walks through the timeline, the difference between legal custody and where the kids actually lived, and the selective outrage that elevates some grieving parents into civil-rights figures while others get ignored. That leads to the death of 29-year-old Tasia (Tayshia) Fortune, found hanging from a tree behind a vacant house in Jackson. Councilman Kenneth Stokes is already calling for federal involvement. Clay asks the obvious questions: has a crime even been established yet? Why the rush for outside investigators while the local department is still working the case? He contrasts the reaction with the relative silence around 15-year-old Chloe McDonnell, a Black girl shot and killed on a Jackson walking trail—another young life that didn’t fit the preferred narrative. Along the way they touch the Rankin County gun and knife show, the so-called “gun show loophole,” private-sale background checks, and the difference between real accountability and performative outrage. Straight talk, no sugar, FAFO Friday.

Jason Miller sits down live to talk the Crossing Dixon reunion — the first shows in 15 years (including tomorrow night at Cameron’s Garage / Cypress Point Resort with the Stevens Brothers), the old Coyote Wild days, getting signed to Broken Bow/Stony Creek, radio tours, Applebee’s gigs, why the band broke up, and whether new music is coming. Buck on production, Charlie Grant stories, set lists pulled straight from the old days, and why this time might be different.

**Episode #1269 – The Clay Edwards Show**  with co-host Creston Birch  **Guest (Hour 2):** Jason Miller of Crossin Dixon / Jason Miller Band   Football is almost here, the culture war is still raging, and one of Mississippi’s classic country bands is back together after 15 years. Clay and Creston open with the dog days of summer sports talk — Kyle Shanahan’s wreck and the media overreaction, week-zero bowl ideas, Ole Miss vs. Louisville in Nashville, and why State and Ole Miss both face tough roads while JSU keeps rolling. Then the show pivots hard into the Nolan Wells case: three of the Horn Island Four have retained Trump’s high-profile defamation attorney Edward Andrew Polcic. Clay reads the official statement, pushes the legal fund, and doesn’t hold back on the bloodlust, the misinformation, and what this has done to race relations in Mississippi. Also covered: the anonymous tip that triggered a nursing board investigation into Nolan’s mother after her public comments. Hour 2 is pure music. Jason Miller sits down live to talk the Crossing Dixon reunion — the first shows in 15 years (including tomorrow night at Cameron’s Garage / Cypress Point Resort with the Stevens Brothers), the old Coyote Wild days, getting signed to Broken Bow/Stony Creek, radio tours, Applebee’s gigs, why the band broke up, and whether new music is coming. Buck on production, Charlie Grant stories, set lists pulled straight from the old days, and why this time might be different. Straight talk, local heat, and a real conversation about the music business — all on the free-range human show. Powered by Live Better Men’s Health & Wellness.

An anonymous complaint to the Mississippi board of nursing on the mother of Nolan Wells, Christine Wells Wonsley has been launched. Ben Crump releases a statement calling it a "distraction" and playing the victim even though the investigation is 100% justified after her racist statements about telling her kids they can't trust white people and have to move around differently when they're the minority around them.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay is joined in studio by Creston Birch (30-year retired law enforcement from Clinton, Mississippi) and Tommy Tatum (calling in from Montana) for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred discussion. They break down the arrest of two members of the alleged “Neverland” sex trafficking ring in Jackson. Demerion Deontay Corse and Vidal Marcellus Bibbs appeared in municipal court on charges including sexual battery of a child and human trafficking. One is a previously convicted sex offender who had his supervision terminated early. The conversation covers the bonds set, the role of Judge Adrienne Wooten in prior cases, and the broader pattern of how these stories are handled—or ignored—by the culture. Clay, Creston, and Tommy then dig deep into the Nolan Wells case and the ongoing media and activist onslaught. They examine the bloodlust directed at the white teens, Ben Crump’s rapid involvement and subsequent silence on other high-profile Mississippi cases (Cohen Wiley, Trey Reed), the credibility of certain audio “enhancements,” and the mother’s public behavior. The group discusses why this particular story has exploded, the three federal arrests so far for threats against the teens, and the decision by those accused to push back legally. Later, the conversation shifts to transgender athletes and the WNBA. They react to the push for French player Julie Tetart (a biological male who has dominated overseas) to join the league, Clay Travis’s provocative $10 million challenge and expansion team idea, Sophie Cunningham’s comments, and Mississippi’s legislative efforts to keep men out of women’s sports. The hypocrisy of pro-trans advocacy colliding with limited roster spots is laid out plainly. As always, the show sticks to verified reports, court records, and patterns that keep repeating. Straight talk on crime, race hustling, media double standards, and the defense of women’s sports—no filter.

**The Clay Edwards Show with Creston Berch** Clay and Creston open with the surging legal fundraiser for Nolan Wells’ targeted friends. The original $100,000 goal was obliterated in days—$120,000 already raised and climbing toward $200,000 (and beyond) so the group can retain serious counsel, including the high-powered attorney who just delivered massive wins for Donald Trump. The point is straightforward: match the other side’s funding machine instead of letting Ben Crump and the media narrative steamroll the case. The conversation then shifts to the WNBA culture war. Sophie Cunningham continues refusing to back down on men in women’s sports while Golden State Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase openly embraces “trans women” in the league under the banner of inclusivity and authentic self. Clay lays out why biology is decisive after male puberty, discusses Clay Travis’s multimillion-dollar challenge (high-school boys or a team of biological males identifying as women versus WNBA talent), and explains the job-security angle for mid-tier players who stay silent. A raw playground video surfaces next: a mother coaching and filming her young son as he confronts and berates a white child, framed online as a “MAGA kid” meeting a “young Panther.” Clay calls it pure culture rot—adults manufacturing racial hostility in eight-year-olds—and contrasts it with the selective outrage machine. The hour also covers a Jackson case that received none of the usual national attention: a teenager (14 at the time of the crime) pleading guilty to the 2021 kidnapping, rape, and murder of a 33-year-old Black woman. Details are grim. The absence of Ben Crump, marches, or sustained media pressure is noted as the predictable double standard. Unfiltered talk on media bias, race-baiting incentives, Section 230 double-dealing, and the broader culture-rot problem that treats some victims as useful and others as inconvenient. No gloves, no softening.

WE'RE SUING BEN CRUMP & HEAR DEATH THREATS FROM NOLAN WELLS CREW (Ep #1,266)

Insurance agent Jamie Creel sits in with myself & Creston Berch this morning to discuss the boat owners potential exposure to lawsuits in the fallout of the Nolan Wells case.

**Episode #1264 – The Clay Edwards Show** It’s an interesting time to be alive, and the pressure is on. Coordinated efforts continue to silence voices willing to talk openly about what’s happening in Jackson and beyond. After another round of account restrictions and pressure campaigns, the conversation turns to staying cancel-resistant through diversification and refusing to back down from stating facts. The bulk of the episode digs into the Nolan Wells case and the online free-for-all surrounding it. Internet sleuths and content creators have leveled serious accusations, posted personal details including home locations, and built narratives around photos and motives that don’t hold up. Attorney Russ Latino has begun serving cease-and-desist notices and is preparing defamation actions, starting with influencer Kimbra Lee. The discussion examines why “allegedly” doesn’t provide cover when people are accused of murder without charges, why exposing private residences crosses a line, and how quickly false stories about high-school photos and supposed motives spread. Rumors about a potential toxicology report—possible cocaine and fentanyl involvement—are addressed carefully. No accusations are made against Nolan Wells himself. The point is simple: if those reports prove accurate, they could reshape understanding of what happened that night without turning into character assassination of an 18-year-old. A moment of respect is given to Lance Tolbert of Super Talk Mississippi, who passed away at 52. The radio community is small, and the loss is felt. The back half of the show shifts into culture, personal history, and accountability. Long-term effects of certain music and messaging, the slow personal shift away from that lifestyle, the role of consistent positive input (including past influence from voices like Joel Osteen during a rebuilding period), and the difference between calling out destructive behavior and hate are all on the table. The host pushes back against the idea that demanding better from people—wanting less killing and more responsibility—is somehow sinful or “negative.” Raw, direct, and focused on facts over feelings. No sugarcoating, no retreat.
