Clay Prepares to Fight the Mask Madness as a Dad
10 Aug 2021
BUCK: Weโre having quite a day, Clay, with where we are on vaccine mandates and how Dr. Fauci โ who, as you know, I like to think Iโm the original anti-Fauci-ite. Here he is on the mandates saying, โYou know what? Iโm just going all-in.โ We got Rand Paul joining us in a little bit, weโre talking about this, hereโs Fauci saying we gotta have actual vaccine mandates.
FAUCI: We have the tools to stop this, and thatโs the thing thatโs so painful and frustrating. We have 615-and-more-thousand people in this country that died from this. We have to take this seriously. So when you hear people saying, โWell, I donโt really want to be told to get vaccinated,โ you know, I can understand the need for peopleโs personal liberties. But this is a very unusual time in our history, and thatโs the reason why we gotta do unusual things. And that means use whatever means possible to get people vaccinated.
BUCK: Whatever it takes, Clay! Thatโs what heโs saying.
CLAY: You see the numbers, by the way, too, Buck, that they double counted the number of positive cases in Florida accidentally? How does that happen 18 months into this? The CDC blew it, by the way. How does that still happen?
BUCK: It feels like it would only happen in Florida somehow, right? I know they say itโs just a mistake, but I believe that people would see a number thatโฆ โCause, remember, the news story wasโฆ Clay, think about this for a second. Florida. CDCโs looking at numbers people that are compiling this all day.
CLAY: Thatโs right.
BUCK: The highest caseload they โฆ EVER HAD?
CLAY: Thatโs right.
BUCK: That was believable? Itโs only believable if youโre out there believing that Florida is the covid death trap of the world, which is just not true.
CLAY: Not remotely true.
BUCK: It hasnโt been true all along, but Democrats are obsessed. Oh, and that also brings โ
CLAY: Theyโre trying to take down DeSantis by any means necessary.
BUCK: Right. Ron DeSantis Now weโre starting to see the so-called think pieces and the editorials on how, โOkay. Maybe Democrats said that Trump was worse than Hitler, but DeSantis is worse than โworse than Hitler.'โ
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: Youโre already seeing this roll out or you look at this and you say, โIs there anything thatโs just too absurd for the Democrat-aligned media at this point? Are they really gonna pretend that Ron DeSantis is such a bad guy?โ The answer is yes, by the way, because he threatens them.
CLAY: Theyโre terrified.
BUCK: Ron DeSantis as Joe Biden? If Iโm a Democrat, I donโt like that contest.
CLAY: Theyโre terrified because DeSantis in many ways gets to the same results as Trump, but heโs not as much of a bull in a china shop to get there. That scares Democrats, because they couldnโt really attack a lot of Trumpโs final results, but they attacked, oftentimes, the process by which he got there, as much or more.
BUCK: Yeah. As you know, a lot of Trump voters, they liked that the bull was in the china shop. (laughing)
CLAY: They like the bull in a china shop.
BUCK: Well, they just plain liked it.
CLAY: Well they liked just fighting, but I think that DeSantis would fight, too. Thatโs why next yearโs Florida gubernatorial race, Democrats are looking that as their opportunity to knock DeSantis out for โ24, โcause if he wins, heโs one of the most viable candidates.
BUCK: Itโs still amazing that Andrew Gillum was almost the governor of Florida an as we discussed.
CLAY: Terrifying.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
BUCK: Hereโs Senator Rand Paul saying when it comes to these mandates and lockdowns and all the rest of it, it is time for resistance.
SEN. PAUL: Itโs time for us to resist. They canโt arrest all of us! They canโt keep all of your kids home from school. They canโt keep every government building closed, although Iโve got a long list of ones they might keep closed or might ought to keep closed. We donโt have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and bureaucrats. We can simple say, โNo. Not again.โ
We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children?
Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom. pic.twitter.com/XrI2tjdAHW

BUCK: I like where his headโs at, Clay.
CLAY: Amen.
BUCK: Youโre going to this school board meeting tomorrow in your own community โ
CLAY: Tonight! Tonight!
BUCK: Iโm sorry, tonight and youโll talk to us about it tomorrow. But itโs gonna be tough in a lot of places because there are those who this is only possible because there are enablers and petty tyrant enforcers out there among us, not even people who work for the government. In places like, New York, man, Iโm getting now, โOh, put your mask on!โ Itโs growing like a plague of the mind all over the place now.
CLAY: How wild is it too, by the way, Buck โ you just played that clip, and as part of that said, hey, that has been banned from YouTube โ that we are just like, โOh, yeah.โ His opinion about how to respond to a CDC recommendation is not allowed to be distributed on YouTube! An elected senator in the United States. You just heard that clip.
Youโre gonna hear him talk with us in the next segment. But weโre so used now to Big Tech censorship that I think a lot of people heard, โOh, thatโs been banned from YouTube,โ and you just kind of nod your head. Thatโs how outlandish and outrageous this behavior has become when it comes to covid and Big Tech.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
CLAY: I am going, in the very foundational level of democracy, to a school board meeting tonight โ Iโm curious; Iโll tell you guys about it tomorrow โ to argue against masks.
BUCK: Do you have an entourage, Nashvillians that go with you everywhere as part of a Clay Travis entourage?
CLAY: No, Iโm gonna roll in solo. I get one minute supposedly to talk at this special-called school board meeting dealing with masks. I think there are gonna be a lot of moms and dads. The revolutionโฆ Iโve talked about this. The anti-mask revolution is real, and Iโm genuinely curious to see what itโs gonna be like. Iโve never been to a school board meeting.
BUCK: Iโm excited to see the Lululemon moms look at you like, โAre you ready, El Capitan?โ
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: Theyโre gonna be looking to you to help lead charge here, buddy. But I think that there will be a vote, right? It will be sort of like democracy about whether or not you have masks.
CLAY: Legitimately. We all get one minute to make our case, and then my understanding is the school board members will vote on whether or not thereโs been gonna be a mask mandate.
