**Clay Edwards Show – Mr. Buddy Fundraiser Update, Chud the Builder Shooting & Tate Reeves Cancels Special Session (Ep #1216)**

Clay gives a live update on longtime listener Mr. Buddy Cooper’s GiveSendGo fundraiser after his tragic crash left him paralyzed from the C5 vertebra down. The fundraiser has reached $4,100 of the $30,000 goal, and Clay urges listeners to donate what they can, stressing that “this is where we shine” and “this is where we become the church” — stepping up to help one of their own when real tragedy strikes.

The show then dives deep into the Chud the Builder shooting outside the Nashville courthouse. Clay breaks down the self-defense incident after Chud was attacked, the attacker Joshua Fox’s prior aggravated domestic assault (attempting to burn down an apartment complex with his wife and threatening her with a screwdriver), the attempted murder charge against Chud, Tennessee’s stand-your-ground law, and the broader conversation on free speech, the supposed mystical power of the N-word, black fatigue, and culture fatigue.

Clay also weighs in on Governor Tate Reeves canceling the special session on redistricting after the Supreme Court maps case was vacated, explaining why taking the time to do it right in the next regular session makes strategic sense.

Unfiltered, no sugar added reality radio at its finest.
