>> Tucker: THIS IS A HOME NEAR
FRANKLIN TENNESSEE, ONE OF THE
FEW BUILDINGS TO SURVIVE THE
SILVCIVIL WAR AND A HISTORIC
LANDMARK.
HANK WILLIAMS BROUGHT THE HOME.
FAITH HILL AND TIM MCGRAW LIVED
THERE.
LAST YEAR A FUND MANAGEMENT
BROUGHT THE PROPERTY.
NOW THE NEIGHBORS SAY THE
PROPERTY IS IN DISREPAIR.
A NONPROFIT IS SUGGESTING THAT
THE HALL COULD SOON BE
DEMOLISHED.
THE QUESTION IS:
HOW MUCH AMERICAN HISTORY DO YOU
HAVE TO LOSE BEFORE YOU LOSE THE
COUNTRY ITSELF?
LAST YEAR WE LOST STATUES AND
MONUMENTS AND OUR CUSTOMS.
TEARING DOWN HANK WILLIAMS HOUSE
WOULD CONSTITUTE NOT JUST AN
ASSAULT ON THE SOUL OF COUNTRY
MUSIC, IT WOULD BE AN ATTACK ON
THE COUNTRY HIMSELF.
MAYBE WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
KIDD ROCK FEELS THAT WAY.
JOINS US TODAY.
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN HOUSE.
WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WHAPS
WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS HOUSE?
>> WE ARE SICK OF SEEING HISTORY
TORN TO THE GROUND.
MONUMENTS AND STATUES AND
SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT IN
NASHVILLE.
THE FORMER HOME OF HANK WILLIAMS
AND OF TIM MCGRAW AND FAITH
HILL.
WHERE DOES THIS END.
>> WE FEEL LIKE WE ARE UNDER AN
INVASION FROM THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
WE UNDERSTAND IN A LOT OF WAYS.
I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT
COME FROM CALIFORNIA AND NEW
YORK CITY.
WE FEEL PEOPLE SAY IT UNDER
THEIR BREATH BUT WON’T SAY IT
OUT LOUD.
I WILL BE THE GUY:
THESE WOKE POLICIES IN CITIES
FOR BETTER SCHOOLS AND LOWER
TAXS AND LOWER CRIMES.
YOU HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT
A MILLION TIME.
[AUDIO BREAKING UP].
THIS IS ONE MORE EXAMPLE OF
SOMEBODY FROM CALIFORNIA WHO
GAVE A HANDSHAKE TO PEOPLE IN
THE COMMUNITY AND THAT YOU THIS
FOUNDATION.
HE WAS A DONOR FOR IT.
NOW THIS IS ANOTHER AVENUE TO
TEAR IT DOWN.
I DON’T THINK THERE IS ANYTHING
MORE IMPORTANT IN COUNTRY MUSIC
IF NOT AMERICAN MUSIC THAN HANK
WILLIAMS.
THE GREATEST SONG WRITER OF ALL
TIME.
[AUDIO BREAKING UP].
THEY THINK OTHER SONG WRITERS
WOULD BE IN AGREEMENT.
>> Tucker: WE DON’T THE MOTIVE.
WHY MOVE TO A NEW PLACE AND TEAR DOWN ITS HISTORY?
DOWN ITS HISTORY?
DOESN’T THAT SEEM WEIRD TO DO?
>> THEY CALL THEM DUMB LIBERALS.
>> Tucker: THAT’S ONE
EXPLANATION.
[LAUGHING].
THAT’S FAIR.
THAT SAYS IT ALL.
HANK WILLIAMS IF THERE IS AN
ICON IN NASHVILLE IT’S HANGAR
WILLIAMS.
-- HANK WILLIAMS.
THIS WAS HIS FORMER PROPERTY.
AS A COMMUNITY, IS NASHVILLE
RISING UP AGAINST THIS TO
PRESERVE THIS HISTORIC PROPERTY?
ARE YOU THE ONLY ONE?
>> I THINK -- WELL, I AM KIND OF
THANKS TO YOU AND PEOPLE THAT
CARE ABOUT THESE THINGS I HAVE
BECOME THE PERSON TO PUT IT OUT
THERE.
I THINK NOW THAT YOU ARE
BROADCASTING THE STORY TO ALL OF
AMERICA MANY PEOPLE WILL GET ON
BOARD.
THEY CAN GO TO THE WEBSITE.
YOU WILL SEE A LOT MORE COUNTRY
MUSIC STARS AND PEOPLE IN THE
COUNTRY THAT WANT TO PRESERVE
THIS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION TO
COME.
>> Tucker: EXACTLY.
WE BELIEVE IN PRIVATE PROPERTY
BUT SOME MONUMENTS ARE NOT
YOURS.
YOU HOLD THEM UNTIL THE NEXT
GENERATION.
>> WHEN YOU COME INTO IT WITH
A HANDSHAKE KIND OF THING AND
SAY I WILL PRESERVE THIS AND YOU
DO OTHER THINGS.
WE HOPE TO GET THIS RESOLVED IN A GOOD MANNER.
A GOOD MANNER.
IF NOT WE CAN GET SOME HILLBILLY
[MUTED] GOING ON TOO.
>> Tucker: GREAT TO SEE YOU,
KIDD ROCK.
