TUCKER: He’s a busy man. He’s the host of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. He’s also the founder of OutKick.com, one of the only websites covering sports and politics that you would want to read. He joins us tonight. Clay, thanks so much for coming up. So, I love the clip. I know it was a much longer speech that you gave, and God bless you for doing it, and it was entirely fact-based. The reaction from the other people in the room really struck me.
CLAY: (chuckling)
TUCKER: What is your sense of where parents are right now with what’s happening in schools?
CLAY: First, Tucker, thanks for having me.
TUCKER: Of course.
CLAY: Second, we’re in the middle of what I think is a grassroots-mobilizing, parent movement to take back this country.
TUCKER: Amen.
CLAY: I know there are a lot of people out there frustrated because the reaction that I saw demonstrated that and where we are in Williamson County, I think there are countless people all over the country who feel the same way that we do, that we have to go right to the root, right? Tucker, you’ve got a television show. I’ve got a radio show. We make good livings doing our jobs. But the most important job we have is being a parent, being a mom, being a dad. I think what happened during covid is many parents became aware of what their kids were being taught. Look, I’m a public-school kid, Tucker. I went to Nashville City public schools K-through-12. My kids, two of them are in public schools right now. I want for them to fit in in the society (chuckles) and make the world a better place.
TUCKER: Amen.
CLAY: But it has to be a fact-based reality, and right now it isn’t, and I’m excited about how many parents are now rising up. Over a thousand people, Tucker, showed up at that school board meeting here just outside of Nashville to combat the decisions being made by the board.
TUCKER: I think that’s the only way. I mean, you have been engaged in this — and other people have — for the last year, trying to reason with the people in charge of the schools, from the Biden administration, to the teachers unions, to the school boards, to the teachers and say, “Look, this is poison. You can’t create Hutus and Tutus in America. You’ll wreck the country,” and they just won’t listen. I don’t think there’s another option other than for parents to say, “No more!”
CLAY: That is the option, Tucker. I encourage everybody out there. I’m saying this is a mom-led revolution, because, if you look at the crowd, moms have had a lot put upon them for the last 18 months. They had to bear the brunt of childcare when we had fifteen days to stop the spread, Tucker, and they are just fed up with it —
TUCKER: Yes.
CLAY: — and they are leading this charge, and that’s what I encourage everybody to do. Speak out. Go to the grassroots. Confront your school board members, demand that they used fact-based analysis —
TUCKER: Right!
CLAY: — and we will win. I’m telling you, Tucker, we will win. It is going to grow and spread and become bigger than it already is. The anti-mask, the anti-CRT, it may well be the new Tea Party.
TUCKER: Boy, I hope you’re right. That’s the first hopeful thing I’ve heard in a while. Clay Travis, I sure appreciate your coming on tonight and for doing that. Thank you.
CLAY: Thank you, Tucker. Thank you very much.
The responses from leftists, not just in the media, but regular people in all walks…
The senator from Tennessee talks Memphis and the firing of a UT professor for celebrating…
Of course, they did. Out-of-touch Emmys celebrate Stephen Colbert.
A truly insane reaction to a man being shot in front of you.
Clay and Buck look at the dangerous online bubble in which many Americans live.
