👀 READ 🎥 DIRECTOR’S NOTES 🎬 👇
Maryland State Senator R. Clayton "Clay" Davis is a working politician from Baltimore who endured many tribulations throughout his tenure; this Scene Remix addresses Clay's hardest fought battle, one that he ultimately won.
🎥 DIRECTOR’S NOTES 🎬
🎬 This Scene Remix is my longest to-date, overtaking the Extendo version of The Downfall of Mayor Royce.
🎬 My inspiration for this 35 minute masterpiece was the final scene where the Federal Attorney compares Clay post-trial to Martin Luther King Jr., and I worked backwards from there by rewatching the entirety of Season 5 and taking notes on which scenes I wanted to use.
🎬 You will notice that I did cut some of the scenes down where they would have veered from the subject, Clay, onto Marlo's organization or the newsroom Drama with Templeton, but as a result I think this Scene Remix nicely focuses on Clay and gives him a good homegoing.
🎬 I used 27 scenes from Season 5 Episodes 1-8 to make this, and in my opinion this is my finest work yet.

How many doors were closed at the end of scenes here? 😆
keep it up these are great
@@JohnThacker-qi4gp thank you very much for watching and enjoying them
Honestly a lot of doors were shut but a lot more were opened
@@MyResponseWouldBe thanks?
@@k33p1tc00lyou did a great job with these videos man. I appreciate the content. Did they claim them or do you get to monetize them? I hope you're getting paid for your work.
They had the nerve to think they were taking Clay Davis down… Sheeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiit
lol!!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
He held on to that one
One more thing Clay… price of the brick going up
Sheeeeeit partner, I should be charging you to sell the brick to me
@@k33p1tc00lSave that Sliver tongue for the Greeks.
@@clashnytech😂😂😂😂😂
“Played not just the race card, but the whole deck!”
Shiiiiiiiiiiit
You gotta respect a player with skills like that.
He posted Scene Remixes is what he did, He was a brave Wire enthusiast that did what had to be done. And in THIS HOUSE Keepit Cool is a Hero. END OF STORY
😂 thank you that’s great
Oh would you fuckin stop? Huh? Channel! Channel!
In Napoles, my people, they not so happy for Keepit Cool
@@Cowpowblaow Ho take it easy
*spits in Italian to show disapproval in the topic being discussed *
"You think I'm going down you, you,you, you,you
think I'm done"
*"Not no feddddds..."*
"My neck of the woods, it's a jungle out there." What a great mixed metaphor.
The dude was a genius.
I never noticed this, but District Attorney Bond failing to call the Baltimore Sun for the perp walk was the first sign that he was really out of touch with the community and failed to understand that the jury pool would be influenced by the local media.
Obonda living in his ivory tower
I always thought that the reporter who confronts Pearlman was pretty pretentious. The reporter acts like the Sun is owed the call and that the states attorney is supposed to know that the person who covered the state court no longer works for his paper.
@@TheRealMjb2k the reporters are very cringey… you can bet when I make a Wire Cringe compilation that the scene of Gus and Twigg talking about their inspirations to become “newsmen” will be competing for top 3 if not number 1. Gus with his trauma about his father ignoring him in favor of reading the paper “I want to be part of THAT” YUCK and Twigg saying something along the lines of I want to be like the guy on the bus who neurotically folds his paper… oof!
@@TheRealMjb2k The reporter was correct. The reason is the states attorney when they need to drive a narrative, will rely on the newspaper to help them by dedicating newsprint for information that they want to get out. It has to be a symbiotic relationship.
@@TheHardcardeven back then, the Baltimore paper was irrelevant.
When Clay beat his case, Rhonda told Bond, "Whatever it is, they don't teach it in law school" shows how Stringer was way over his head thinking he was ready for the business world because he took a business class in community college . Clay had more street smarts than Stringer and he never ran a drug empire. The Wire had master class writing💯
I can tell you first hand that they barely teach anything useful in law school. It was an expensive three years that could easily have been achieved in one year.
They teach in bunny colvins class that's why namond is the future clay
You broke that down my bro.. got analysis ❤❤
@@k33p1tc00l *Seriously?*
No one could appreciate Clay doing the Lords work.
Til they truck him off to Mount Auburn!
He was a saint!
The jury of his PEERS could!
Clay won that trial by cutting a rasslin' promo on the stand. The moment he said "let me tell you something", he had the jury eating out of his hand.
Thought I was the only one that thought that re: promo style 😂
Bro pulled a Ric Flair frfr 😂💯🤣🤣
Yup... they should have taken it Federal fromnthe start... but they wanted the clout... powerful scene in the court room...
Juries are such a ridiculous concept.
Clay Davis, the unkillable cockroach of the Wire.
You think you smashed him, then you lift the shoe and he scurries away
Shiiiiiiiit!
Fun Fact: "Cockroach" is what the alt right, trump supporting, storm the capitol crowd calls black folks.
Clay Davis was a product of a dirty swamp. I don't think Clay was any dirtier than Burrell, the ministers, Rawls, Valcheck, LEVY, etc...
corrupted as fuck just like Baltimore's politics
The fact that Clay's lawyer Billy Murphy is a real person playing himself blows my mind. He'd go on to serve as the attorney for Freddie Grey's family
He was my lawyer on a drug kingpin case back in 96. As good as advertised.
That's awesome, I was about to Google what actor played that character, little did I know....
Something about him struck me, and I'd never heard of/seen him before, turns out the dude is legit. Cool detail. It's like the lawyer from the movie 'Casino' was played by the real guy who defended the real mobsters in Las Vegas that the movie was based on. Oscar Goodman iirc.
The cop with the mustache who was in many scenes with Bunny (I forgot his name), was I believe a real cop who another character was based on in The Wire. Correct me if I'm wrong
So thats who's Sal Goodman character was based on@@ctdieselnut
@@Joeri20cmyeah he’s the real Jay Landsman
The way the lawyer reads him is just priceless
He’s slippery himself, takes one to know one
the way clay laugh when the lawyer calls him out too, they knew they were gonna win😭
There could have been a TV series on the Clay Davis character alone...it was so full and deep.
They did "Better call Clay"
Pause
Shiiiiiiieeeeeeet
@@vranime3772sheeeeeeuuuuuuttttt
@@Sebaz1835Better Pay Clay
15:20. That switchup 😡 from 😁 was golden
Clay Davis is my favorite character on The Wire. A true politician. He can play in the legitimate and illegitimate arenas. Truly skilled practioner.
Down town Clay Davis?
@@gwilliams4674 Yes. You can't use a rumble tumble ninja like Slim.
@lukecywalker slim gonna have to sit this one out boss... that sounds like an away game 😅
The fact that they say Randy was clay davis in thinking
@@gwilliams4674 exactly 💯
15:20The way his face change from destroyed depressed man to happy proud smile before facing the press is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂 Amazing actor 👌
And you can see him do the reverse at 27:36
More people should know the name Isiah Whitlock Jr. His performance gave so much life to the Clay Davis character.
He was fantastic in that role!
He was also in Goodfellas as the doctor that checked up on coked up Henry
That's your opinion watch your mouth and smarten up not everyone agrees with you or liked the clay Davis character.
He seemed to be having so much fun playing the role of the corrupt local politician! Also the guy who played Rawls was having a blast
Sheeeeeit, partner.. Everyone knows Isiah Whitlock, Jr.
Clay Davis? The Clay Davis? Downtown Clay Davis?
That one yeah
@@k33p1tc00lthat some assassination type s…
You basically need some Day of the Jackal type motherfucker for that shit...
"Arthur-Itis" 😂😂
Clay Davis was a saint.
He reads Aeschylus on his way to trial? I believe that man to be a genuine scholar.
Just out there doing the Lords work
Daniels was such a fantastic character. Continually shocked with how absurd the realities of his job was the further he went up the chain. Dude got made top cop of Baltimore by the end of his career and said absolutely not. He’s one of the best characters in the series
We definitely need:
1. The rise of Tommy Carcetti
2. The genius of Norman
3. Namond, the next Clay Davis
🫡
Ooh nice catch about Namond being the next Clay Davis he definitely have political potential
A few more for you:
4. Tony Gray, the right candidate no one wanted
5. Wendell Blocker, when the Playa gets Played
6. Cool Lester Smooth, philosopher
7. M. Levy, the Hasidic Hustler 😆
@@Carolina_FreshThe brisket supercut lol. Levy was the man.
Originally you kinda take him for all bad. But then he lets his clients use phones (despite knowing it makes them VERY vulnerable). Lets slip to ex-police, Herc, about wiretap phone numbers.
Neither of them accidents.
He is self interested but not ALL bad imo.
23:25. My favorite dialogue, even politicians don’t respect snitching😂 Royce did not like the fact clay Davis was even thinking about not standing tall
I love the phrasing "natural life", like the prison sentencing phrase
Royce was worried about saving his own behind
@@michaelotieno6524Which is why he didn’t want Davis to Snitch.
If you’re willing to take the money; you should be willing to take the time.
My favorite bit too.
Clay Davis. What a man!
Along with the Greeks he was probably low key one of the most powerful entities in the Game.
Basically immune to harm (Avon stopped Stringer offing him).
He rips off the biggest and richest players with impunity and has the legal and state establishment doing his bidding.
Like a political Omar although nowhere near as moral lol.
Nice analysis!
But he lives second to second scurrying from danger to danger like a cockroach or the cracked out community he represents
@@fanmail32 His danger is a few years in prison max probably. Imagine how many people he has ripped off over the years.
Mouzone could’ve taken him
@@michaelmcfadden396 and a country club prison at that. Political scum rarely do any real time in a real prison like the rest of us. And they come out with most of the money and assets they went in with. They protect their own.
24:59 You see how masterful Clay is here.
Talking his lawyer into working for him on a gambler’s “pay me later”.
And if it were anyone else Klay would have suckered him
"You can tell all of 'em, RUclips, City Hall, the Crips, that I do not fall alone."
KeepitCool
I ain't no rat mf, I can count to 10 yo
You keep uploading these fantastic scene remixes and we gonna start talking about points on the package.
RUclips still has me working in the pit for chicken nuggets
@@k33p1tc00l Thank you, Mr Nugget!
Senator Davis, whateva happened there….
He was there… it was a joke…
I'll tell you whatever happen there!
Lester: "WHATEVER HAPPENED THERE?!"
Billy Murphy is a real life playa - already had a rep before he came on the show
He does seem genuinely slippery
Great comp. I hated how they tore down a pillar of the community with nothing but vicious rumours. Sheeeeeeiiiit
Does a great job of showing how little the politicians & police are different from the “criminals” in the show
That's one of the main points of the show, yes. Self interest in crime or career, moral behavior often goes punished, etc..

How David Simon realize govt is a major cause of these problems and still believe in govt is beyond me.
Clay was slicker than oil 😅
I know it ain’t a comedy but Clay Davis makes me literally lol. Great actor
Clay Davis has the makings of a varsity politician
Big hands, that’s his problem
9:57 focus mother fucka focus😂😂 such a Donell Rawlings line
I wonder if they let him improvise, like the “my b judge”.
The fact that he can say that to his "boss" makes me think they have been up to LOTS of criminal shenanigans.
@@michaelmcfadden396 he definitely knows where the bodies are no pun intended
Ashy Larry 😂😂😂
"Whatever it was they don't teach it in law school"
Definitely not.

Ho, Cable Guy, they must have been giving free tokens at the tunnel!
@@k33p1tc00l How many times does this guy have to say hello?
Clay Davis was a vile character. And sadly there are hundreds of real-life versions of him out here.
@@TheReturnOfJMVEntertainmentFunny, I call them ‘Republicans’.
Sheila Dixon was one of them.
@@Mugiwara2kPeople like Clay Davis exist on both sides of the aisle
Exactly! But each side has pawns that are programmed to automatically believe that their side is flawless
@@Mugiwara2k Lol you're deranged.
"Arter itis old lady,,, Utill they got ma layed out."
I love how the clay davis catch phrase gets longer as his stress level gets higher. We all waited for it too.
Clay Davis is doing The Lord's Work!!!😂
He helps arth a rite iss women out
More like the devil’s work to me
So, the Clay Davis jury engaged in jury nullification right?
"We don't dispute that the Senator engaged in fraud, we just morally admire how he went about it."
Correct, they chose not to apply the law to the defendant.
Is that a real thing in America ?
@@ExTAzY101 Technically, yes. Although I read that if a defense attorney attempts to instruct a jury about it, it's like instant grounds for a mistrial. I don't know how it is in other countries though.
You are the faucet and the goose of The Wire clips!!
Haha thank you, that's a new compliment for me
He's the borko of wire.

@@liamcephus9687 welcome to the c00l-op
27:08 "Prom-i-thus" still makes me laugh and cringe every time.
Yes! 😂😂😂😂
I'm the vice president of a m..
Who tf isn't 😂
Little did we know he’s a rat 🐀
Not gonna lie, definitely voting for clay if im living on the westside, his courtroom testimony like the best campaign speech you've ever heard.
I can't fault Clay's lawyer, Billy Martin (I think that's the character's name) for coming up with that defense. It's a brilliant strategy to use all the evidence that Bond has against him and then to say "so what? it all went back to the people in my district." He uses absence of proof to explain away the paper trail they built against him, and I don't know how they could ever get him on any of this.
Shows how unprepared Bond was. And the thing is, even though we know Clay's a snake, we also know Bond is only doing this to raise his own rep in the city so he can become the next mayor after Carcetti. Rhonda did most of the actual legal prep work, and then Bond swoops in at the end and says he'll lead the prosecution.
Should've left Rhonda on it.
Bond's ego led to the case's failure, Clay was able to sweet-talk the jury because they were from Baltimore. But he wouldn't have been to pull the "We have it hard out here" shtick if he was in front of a federal jury.
Not a fictional character -- the real-life Billy playing himself. Superbly, too.
The way you put this together…damn! You are the real Wire PhD! Amazing work! I’m grateful for the work you put in. Keep going!
Thank you, I for sure exerted the most effort on this one just from watching the eight episodes and taking notes alone.
Nice job OP. Very allegorical.
@@LloydWaldo like a trumpay day oil
True story. We need more of these!!
Clay Davis was so good.. you knew he was a villain and a crook, yet we were rooting for him to win
He studied the ancient art of slim shady.
The entire show is a masterpiece, but my very favorite parts are the detective scenes as well as the police work and political aspects of the production.
Right when your younger you like the street parts more but once you get older and understand politics, it became more interesting
The guy they name-check at 16:20, Doug Struck, was my journalism professor for a semester in college.
Real prick, too. Fits in great at the Wire’s version of the Sun.
Nice tidbit, thanks for sharing
people that say the swamp doesnt exist, this show shows the whole darn thing
Clay Davis underrated character
He's the sacred and the propane
He was like a 40 degree day
Notice the parallels between the speech she gave Clay to the speech they gave Deangelo about taking the weight
I've seen the show 10 times and that's the first time I noticed that. Great catch
Bruuuuuh, Clay said hes out there ''Doin the lawds work''. That shit is hilarious
That first scene is hilarious, 'hell no I won't let you make a mockery out of our political party despite this guy being a tremendously corrupt politician!'
15:16 look how he just turns that shit on like a light switch
Davis got away in the end because of politics. Everyone decided to play politics rather than do what was right. Poor Lester
Shows how banal self-interest drives much of everyday corruption. Even the US Attorney was after Davis for purely self-serving political reasons. He didn't care about the rowhouse murders or Clay's crimes in and of themselves.
"ShieeeeEEEeeeeEeeeet" - R. Clayton "Clay" Davis
The DA did the same thing as Clay did, only he simply operated within the rules of the system. His position should have welcomed federal indictment in an effort to assure clays conviction,instead of worrying about his career. Clay took cash, Bond used his position for his personal political aspirations. Same shiiieeeeeeeet tho.
WE SHALL NOT BE, WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
14:22 “I come here to help, but y’all are out for *BLUD* “
this edit shows just how good the show is
That’s one of my goals! Thanks
15:20 me putting on my “happy face” for work
Opps: this edit wasn’t that fire 😐
Me: Shiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeettttttttt 🔥🔥
I see two twin opps, leave 'em on a banner
Of all the characters of The Wire, none are more despicable as Clay Davis, a magnificent portrayal by Isaiah Whitlock Jr. Valcheck, Marlo, perhaps even Rawls and The Greek are awful people but the way Davis is so corrupt and basically skates is just so disgusting but realistic. And the way Davis olayed the DA is just brilliant and hilarious but horrible.
Also, Lester Freeman is NOT a hump.
No, he's natural poe-lice
Snoop
@iBall24-7 she and Chris Partlow were terrible people for sure. Marlo's entire crew were awful.
Barksdale and marlos lawyer. Forgot his name. He seemed pure evil.
@frankienorthtroptriton4771 Levy. But he's a lawyer, he's doin what he's paid to do (bein a piece of crap defending criminals), that's why I negated him
Preserving the Wire in our collective memories helps us to use it as a primer to look past the pony and see the shit. There is plenty of that in our institutions-corruption, fraud, insider trading, pay to play etc. Great channel.
... thank you! Hope you go watch the other scene remixes I made if you haven't yet
Ngl he won me over
Sing it with me “We shall not be, we shall not be moved”
Isiah Whitlock, besides playing Clay Davis, also played the doctor in Goodfellas who gave Henry a Valium.
Nice! Didn't know that.
He was a DEA agent in 25th Hour…where the shiiiieeeeeeetttt phrase originated. True story.
That’s such a short scene I forgot but that’s cool. I saw him in something else but I forgot what it was. I smoke too much weed
The fact that there was "sheeeeiiiittt" goes to show how masterful this edit is to emphasize that although there is humer to the man's character he is as dead serious of a politician as it gets.
Nareese gave Clay Davis the exact same conversation Brianna had with D'Angelo at the end of season 1
35 minutes of Clayton Davis?!?!? SHEEEIIIIT!!!
the fact that this is what naymond turns into is A1
It’s not below the fold?
Finally got to watch all the way through uninterrupted! Amazing job! And the ending was perfect! Sheeeeeiiiiiiiit😊
Thanks for your support Cuccky
These compilation clips are great. They help me keep track of each storyline. So much happens in these HBO shows that I have a hard time keeping track
Borko of the wire!
I feel like the meme of spiderman being carried when you all call me that
Clay Davis for honorary Oscar.
One of my absolute favorite fly-by moments of the show is when Clay Davis is mispronouncing Prometheus and giving that silver tongued boo-shit about it lmao.
I hit the corner of mosher and Pennsylvania best to believe my pockets bulging by the time i get to Robert's street 🤲
08:23 Folks reading newspaper and speaking in waiting rooms. The good old days
I love these lol no commentary no nothing just the story
I keep it clean… but it also keeps me from monetization 😬
Sheeit! Edited extremely well, from start to finish. Like what you’re doing here. I’ve subscribed.
Thank you I appreciate it
You could see Clay focus his chi to smile coming down those stairs!
Clay Davis was the G.O.A.T. He was the melinated better version of Little Finger he just could slide through it.
He schooled the real littlefinger on how a master plays the game
I’ve watched The Wire at least 5x, and I still marvel at how great the character names are: Avon Barksdale, Stringer Bell, Proposition Joe, the list goes on. Just one of many reasons that this show is absolutely brilliant.
19 minutes before the first "sheeeeeeeit."
This is the best movie I've seen in a while, thanks for the upload.
Thanks for watching it
I've been binge watching your content for the last several hours. Great choice of storylines/arcs.
One I've always thought would be good is the decline of the newspaper. Season 5's stuff. That was a great insider look at the decline of traditional news media.
We appreciate your hard work💪🏾
The Clay Davises of the world are a lot more common than people think, ESPECIALLY in places like Baltimore. Marilyn Mosby is a perfect example.
We need one of these remixes on the rise of Slim Charles. He's the most underrated character of the whole series in my opinion, outlasted ALL the kingpins to become one himself.
If only they knew about spin offs back then lol Clay should have his own spin off called sheeeeeeeeeeee-it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’d watch
"They must not heard of you, Senator."
THE clay Davis movie ! s/o to you for spending time on this
this actor ate this role and left no crumbs
the scene with the big money lawyer was gold
I’m glad you liked it
